    @Kamilcom (GB1)

    100% right.
    You proved once again to be the best Game Analyst here...

    I have one 'humble' doubt, will simply supporting the game for all there blunders be rewarded with some special 3x3 deco in the end....?

    Trump himself must do something to get the US first day back to 24 hrs, atleast before Valentine event begins.
    yes,President Trump must take immediate action.
    No excuse for GGS for cutting short the first day of US server every time....
    This seems intentional and I suspect Putin and Wikileaks behind this......
    If not why the hell US alone, every time....... :#
  • you are absolutely right kamilcom.

    I am a player who looks for paterns in this game. There is only one and that is the Obvious one.

    It comes from GGS: PAY AND WIN.

    If you do not spend gold, you won't get it all.

    Is there anybody (not spending gold) who has the snake-zodiac above 10%

    I only reached 5% so far

  • i have to agree....the first day is the one where ALL cards count...and US servers ony got 6 hours.....maybe it will be compensated the last day......but don't hold your breath

    Mine is at 14%, no gold used, been lucky with boosters and planting event seeds at right time .Long term, suspect it will be unlikely to get snake without gold .To be fair, this would give a 5x5 deco of 104 happy pts, not to mention the daily prizes, so not too shabby .

    monika gupta (IN1) @malayalam (US1)  You guys are picking words from my mouth. How can GGS do this to our lovely strategic brothers-in-arms from America. Think president Trump should add owners of GGS on embargo list. Enough is enough. No more American Tennessee cookies with sweet sweet chocolate chips in it for Wawrzinek duo! Not untill the day has 24 hours for America again. Unless US Inteligence Bureau can provide compelling evidence that in reality it is Russian Hackers Brigade powered by Richie Ruble from Moscow who's responsible for this scandalous short-cutting of American Day. :) .

    I came online after a good night of sleep and collected all buildings on my main farm and i am still at reward 1/20. How can a person that always ends in top 100 of weekly rankings can not get the 20/20 rewards every day? I am never getting the firework boosters when i have a full farm ready, only when i can harvest 1 round of chickens and some wildflowers with an active booster.

    Is this just an event of pure luck because i hear others having 20/20 at half of this day already?
    Same happened to me. I collected my entire farm after the day switched. Guess what? I collected 2 whole tiger zodiaks for my level 231 farm. 

    • The rebalancers have managed to make it easier to get a basic decoration, and harder to get a decent-sized deco with relatively decent happiness.
    • It is still not something I would want to place on my farm even if it was a high happiness 5X5 deco.
    • The cost of the spins is ludicrous. Why would I spend Tens of MILLIONS of farm dollars on the chance of getting a better decoration? I am sure some players will, but I am not one of them.
    • And for those of you who are planning on demolishing this beauty: Last year Greta only gave 10 decoration parts for that lovelyFire Monkey decoration.

    i know that i am just not worried about leveling up any faster then just playing does i have plenty of stuff to still buy,build,and upgrade so why level up any faster then just by playing normally i mean i understand some people are all about the xp and that is fine i just am not one of them so i usually never click on the dog but to feed him and get my gifts and never pay attention to when i get xp or not i just know i have leveled up when i get the pop up other then that i pay no attention to that part of the game
    I don't care about the XPs, either.  And leveling up is difficult for me as I don't buy gold.  But I did break down and level up the doghouse once with gold, and get an enormous amount of stuff flying out of that doghouse now.  When it's leveled up all the way, I understand, the rewards are huge.

    my activity challenge didn't reset for 2 days now it's bs
    @kittygirl1 (US1) What activity challenge do you currently have? A screenshot would be helpful. :)

    @ Everyone else: What exactly happened with the fireworks last night? It sounds like you are saying they disappeared with 13 mins left on the timer, at approx 2am CET for the US1 server, is that correct & did they disappear for everyone on US1?
    Yep, the fireworks just disappeared with 13 minutes left, maybe more.  Seems to have happened to a good many.  A player on the NL server reported it, too, although he may have a farm on the US server.

    You're right about only 10 deco points from Greta.  Some demo-ed it for cash.  Wasn't a lot, but netted a little more deco upgrades than the parts.

    I only reached 5% so far

    IMine is on 10 % and Dragon with Rabbit, possibly even Tiger, don't look like they are going to make it either, But with a good deal of luck, or if one is crazy enough to sit and wait, or possibly with both .......... it apparently can be done. Look here at Tigrain's screen shot, which is less then 24 hours into the game.

    The thing is that Snake, Dragon and Rabbit hold among themselves 69 happines points, more then all the other 7 together, which makes them three quite valuable for those who want to keep the deco and get it to the highest possible value.

    Shame the devs ruled dollar boosters out of the game with their pricing. It was fun part of the event last year but useless this year. Neither would I use gold boosters even if I was big gold spender appart from final touch if needed on the last day to close small gap if needed on one or two zodiacs. And that only on big droppers (Cherry orchard, Cows ...) with fireworks active (involves luck or waiting).

    The shame again is that we can't see the amount of chips needed and with several unknown chance aspects along the route we can't even analyse to arrive at reasonable precise estimates without unreasoneably big efforts put into collecting data. And nobody in their right mind wants to start spending only to find out half way through that they don't have enough or it's too expensive to complete the task. At least I'd always want to have enough data to be able to calculate result/spending band before even starting. So basically all this throws you back to "rely" on luck/patient waiting for fireworks if you want to make them all 12.

    Take a look at this:  http://crazybigfarm.tk/events/annual/chinese_new_year/chinese_new_year.htm  it shows the drop rates, effects, and totals needed for each of the signs.  It is doable, but you would have to be very diligent and spend an enormous amount of time.   :)

    Wow! Crazy Big Farm has been crazily bussy collecting data. :) The chip count data is incredibly valuable for planing. I even went back to explore the interface again in case i overlooked it, but it doesn't seem to be there. Wonder where they got the info from? Is it inside GGS connection? Anyway, that info helps a lot.

    Do we know if the drop rate is the same for all chips, or the ratio in case it differs?

    Anyway thanks for reminding me Karen that there are people devoted to this game collecting valuable info. :)

    EDIT: I was ignoring this site as I do with most fan game sites as they tend to be too bulky wasting space on common sense obvious info, but this one looks like good inside job with some valuable data hidden inside the bulk. Will have to pay more attention I guess. :)
  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    @Kamilcom (GB1)  The drop rate is definitely different.  Take a look based on your level, of the signs needed for each. For me I need 70,390 snake and the drops are few and far between, hence the push to spin or use gold, but I've done neither and won't.  Whereas I only needed 14390 of the dog and that's at 100% already.  Rat was just 3890 so that's the one I get the most of  :)  

    We have had huge gaps in fireworks, so they throw out one for an hour.  That's like doing a Wildflower mission for a full hour....argh, but at least we did get fireworks so thank you very much.  ;)
  • I am not using gold and my snake is at 7%..Also my co op member is a level 90 and is able to easily complete each day's prizes.  I am a level 130 and so far today I have only collected the first 3.

    FYI @WascallyWabbit  - one coop (up until now I only heard this from 1) on the Dutch server NL1 has similar problems: most of their members got only 6 minutes of fireworks (during the last 2 fireworks of 16.45 CET and 20.45 CET) = after 6 minutes the timer stops (00:00:00) and the fireworks above the Rooster on parking disappears ..... (??)  Of course they will send in a ticket to Support individually, but I thought it good to mention things here too FYI.
  • I reported earlier that this happened to me and my co op member.  Just disappeared.  Poof!
  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    @UserPkmwg1 (US1)  The Level 90 player needs less and since the levels are broken up as such:  Level 80-99, 100-119, 120-149, that puts you two levels above and definitely makes it more difficult.  Perhaps the other player is using a tiny bit of gold to push?  Running the lab with corn feed and the mill with rutabagas and pushing with gold for the 7 or 8 they say it costs seems to be what a lot are doing and it's working for them since they are completing the daily tasks in one or two fireworks sessions.

    Did you get in on that full hour of fireworks?  Plant something worth major signs like violets, roses, rice, etc?  Hold your cherry trees, apple trees for the fireworks, or if you're like me, give up and harvest and then they turn on, lol. 

    Wish you the best!  :)

    I don't have a farm here, but are just looking on this forum.

    Just to see if you have the same problems.

    And guess what? It is the same everywere.

    Disaster with some zodiacs (snakes are one), time on firework lost, even a booster from the wheel is lost.

    I also, only have the first 3 complete

    KarenKay...The level 90 player is my daughter.  No she did not use gold because she has very little of it.  Also we did not get the hour fireworks only 20 minutes of it.  I seem to be getting horses and pigs and pigs and horses.

    ;) also I save the special seed harvests, cherry trees, and milk for fireworks....Still I guess down the road I will have plenty of horses and pigs!

    Well darn then, she's just got it all figured out and isn't sharing, lol.  Our fireworks ran from 12:45 till 1:45pm MST.  Weird that it wasn't the same for you.  Today we had higher drops of rabbits, tiger, dragon, snake, and pigs than we normally do, so saw those percentages rise, 4 - 7% over the course of that hour, which is nice, but still have a very long way to go on those darn snakes.
