    Even without boosters is possible,just keep your cherry,silo,mill cows etc and harvest them only when fireworks appear.Its annoying to have to wait and keep an eye ,but the reward is worth a little effort.


    This is without a single booster,and only 3 fireworks caught,and of course some playing in between.And its not even a 24 hours.Its alot easier then the last year and definitely possible. Dont give up on event just because looks a little hard on start,you can do it guys!

    edit:planting sunflowers for the night and harvest them on fireworks also helps alot
    That is wonderful advice and I would be glad to take advantage of it but I work and can not sit by the PC for 8 hours in hope of catching a fireworks.  I caught one yesterday about 1 hour after it started but nothing today.

     Now I see that day 2 was extended, thank you for at least giving the 24 hours for the 1-20 reward challenge for rat zodiac chips. It's too bad that day 1 was only 6 hours, that really doesn't make sense, but I am sure you will allow for the same rewards to be earned at the end of the event in a 24 hour window, so as to not short us by the oversight. ;)

    I dont know that will happen @Sukiyaki (US1)  would be nice but dont count on it.  Glad that some really seem to enjoy this event.

    Anybody collected any data on fireworks yet? Seems they are very rare this time. Like 3 times a day or something?

    I have kept my eye on them but cant seem to find a pattern. Waited 6 hours yesterday and eventually gave up and went to bed.

    I find this fireworks totaly unpredictable and irregular feature quite irritating. It again clearly expects players to be online nonstop, which is not gonna happen with me. One quite sure way to irritate players and spoil the fun. Instead of waiting for hours I tend either to farm as usual, or ignore the game at all. Not sure why should GGS think that staring into their game all day is supposed to be fun? :) Wheather I play as normal or play less then usual it basically means BF team failed to make the event meaningfull and interesting for players like me who have life outside the game. :) Despite slight improvement with size reduction due to insanely priced boosters and long hours gaps between fireworks I'm already fed up of the event. :) Time to do more interesting things I guess? :)

    @Jiesta (NL1) Thanks for posting the data. Pls keep updating them if you will just to give us some picture. Thanks.

    Firewoooooooooooooorks !!! 15:30 CET, 15 mins ............ lol :)

    But I already harvested everything. :):) Lucky I'm just online. :)
  • I received a reply from Wascally Wabbit about the timer issue.  He states that the US server and the BR server seems to be the servers affected by the timer for this event.  He says this will be addressed by the developers on Monday.  I asked him specifically about Day 1 prizes and he realizes that even with added on time this will not fix the Day 1 prize problems.  He says that the largest servers (US) seems to be the one affected when these type of events happen.  Just an FYI.  He asks that we keep on playing normally until he has an update.
  • :( I know this is not the news we want to hear but I tried my best to let him know that this timer issue really needs to be fixed as this is not a problem with other online games of a similar format.

    Could one of the moderators pass my cell phone number to PL Dennis and ask him to text me before he starts fireworks pls? I'm sure he doesn't want me to miss it. Just 10 mins before the start is ok. Thank you. :)
  • So what is the challenge countdown for? I watched mine count down to zero but then nothing. I did get about 10 minutes of fireworks previously but last few days have been nothing. What is the point? Once I get this like last time Greta will use it for parts
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Did the countdown timer just disappear?  I happened to check in just as the timer started, timed feed and some crops so they could be harvested before the timer disappeared, and then it just vanished.  hmmm.... strange.
  • Kamilcom (GB1)Kamilcom (GB1) Posts: 1,499
    Fieworks was here 1:45 CET, 15 mins.
  • since this event started I have only seen fireworks once and it lasted only a few minutes. I was only line watching it count down  but nothing happened when it got to zero.  I  have watched this occur twice now.

    Someone just posted on the other thread -- happened on their server, too, with 13 minutes left on the clock. Very annoying.
  • it happened on mine too.
