    i think its not fair...dragon chips are dificult to collect, and there is just three fireworks today, for the first time i didnt collect all of them on first firework, many of players mised it, for different reasons... one more after 19h, will be ok...
    For the record: Theres 5 fireworks for this game day (2 from previous batch, 3 from last batch). Game day is the same everywhere, is it?.

    Also dragons are as difficult or as easy to collect as any other sign - the data I have strongly suggests there's equal chances drop rate for all of them. :) .

    ok, but some of them are useless, for example 4:45...  that was what i mean, when i said .. its long time from 18:30 to 00:00... there can be one more, at least

    @dana06 (INT1)

    You can find all relevant info here dana:  http://crazybigfarm.tk/events/annual/chinese_new_year/chinese_new_year.htm

    See the blue marked levels at the top of the page? Click them and you can find out exactly how many points you'll need per zodiac to get it. The rest of the page speaks for itself. CBF did a great job there!

    Every 24 hours the game knows 5 fireworks, which you can check on the right side of this forum page, where all tweets on the subject are posted.

    actually i would have to disagree i already have the whole decoration and will have it be a 5x5 i am thinking i will have everything but the snake done with a lot less money and gold then i spent last year and last year for all of the money and gold i spent i did not even get the full decoration and it was a 7x7 with 90 happiness so i would say it is a lot easier to get the full decoration and smaller then last year just might be a little harder to get the happness oh also i should add i have only spun the wheel 3 times for gold no money used and probably did not need to cause i think i used it on the rat and what ever the next 2 days after that were

    @ijrosh (US1)

    I also find the event a lot easier, but in fact last year I was a level 100 and this year a level 300, with much larger farms (new land) and more production buildings


    it might just be relatively easier for us, we should hear more opinions from newer players maybe

    I understand what you are saying ijrosh, in fact 2 of my coop members also nearly finished the event, except for the snake. They are our lower level members and this event is a lot easier for them (and rightfully so), coz they need far less points for each zodiac then we, the higher level members do - and as they work they don't have time to play all day... although they admit that knowing the times of firework made it a lot easier. They didn't use any boosters or gold. 
    All these 2 members need to do these next few days is try to reach as much happiness as possible for their end deco.

    For us higher levels it's much harder to get all the points needed for some zodiacs - I indeed doubt whether we will finish a complete deco without playing all day and using gold.

    I tend to agree with jrosh. While the cost of wheel boosters is a bit of a disappointment full completion is within reach especially to the players that have saved event seeds and seaweed for this event. I also work quite a bit during the week but now that fireworks times are announced i'm confident I can come close to or even fully complete the decoration requirements. This is still my favourite event BY FARRRRRR.

    I have a large farm and a ton of special seeds and event seeds. I have used the gold booster and hit 2 fireworks a day. I have completed each of the 20 hard work tasks each day. I have also used the over priced booster as I make a ton of money each day and can spring for 10 spins daily. 

    Even with all that there is no way I will get all the zodiacs. Both the snake and the dragon are not even half way right now. Snake is only 35% and the event is half over. The dragon is only 41%. My rabbit I may get it if 50/50 chance as it is 71%. My tiger is 90% and should not be a problem. All the other are over 120%.  

    Last year I got all but 1. This year at least 2 maybe 3 will not be finished. The only part I find easier is the pig.

    The deco it will be used for parts.

    Did anyone notice if the extra happiness points, the ones you get after completing a zodiac sign and shown as a blue line, have stopped being counted ?

    Mine seem to register no change since 2 days, both happiness value (the blue one only) and length of the blue line are unchanged

    Anyone else noticed a problem, could you pls post ?

    Thank you   :)

     
    @PCA (GB1)

    I completed the first 6 zodiac signs to more than 100% by the end of the 3rd day.  That gave me 56 happiness with a locked bonus happiness of 12.

    In the 3 days since, Dog and Pig have been completed to 100%, but have NOT moved to more than 100%.  The Fire Rooster decoration has shrunk to 5x5, but the locked bonus happiness is still 12 :(

    I'm waiting for Tiger to complete and hopefully progress to more than 100%, so that I can see how large the problem is before reporting it.

    I have a feeling that is deliberate - the Dog and Pig don't contribute to the overall happiness, so aren't increasing it after. My Tiger did complete and is at 104% now, and my locked happiness is at 13. I'm pretty much certain it was at 12 until then (not 100% sure, but I know for a while there I thought it was stuck, then it jumped a bit =))

    yeah i av the same problem dog and pig 100% a few days now and hasnt moved and still on the bonus happiness is still at 12, its not moved for days .

    How do you guys view this as a problem and fail to see simple and clear common sense progression in it?

    • First 6 signs give happiness plus bonus happiness. Their contribution to bonus will stop somewhere as there is max 30 bonus and 4 more happiness givers to go.
    • Dog and pig give no happiness and no bonus hapiness. Their function is completed at 100 % so no reason to go above that.
    • Last four signs hold more than twice as much happines then first 6 signs together, so understandably can be expected to cover larger part of 30 points bonus. And indeed they seem to have space to fill in remaining nearly two thirds of bonus span.
    These BF people are humans like us. They don't use any special extraterestrial system of thoughts which would be beyond our understanding. Just try to look at things from standard common sense and logic point of view. More often then not you'll arrive at quite correct, even precise understandings of things with maybe just a few details left to be filled in. :):):)
    @Kamilcom (GB1)

    Last year, the bonus happiness was based on chips in excess of the quota, so you could get the bonus happiness up to 30 without having completed all the zodiac signs.  Of course, that bonus happiness was locked, unless all zodiac signs were completed.

    This year, each zodiac sign seems to have a fixed bonus happiness, regardless of the amount of over-completion.

    How does your terrestrial system of logic address this change :D

    Simple process. :)

    • Look at things and their behaviour.
    • Check (brainstorm) and evaluate possible logical solutons.
    • Don't expect things to be the same as last year.
    • Expect at least some basic logic to be functional with game creators.
    • Draw conclusions.
    • Evaluate the probability the state of things needs to trigger alarm.
    I could draw it as fault finding YES/NO flow chart, but too lazy to open Correl and draw it for you. :D

    Or we could just keep it simple and collect zodiac chips? Why does every aspect of every event need in depth evaluation? We have 15 days to collect as many chips as possible, the aim being full completion (100% or more of every chip).....

    no i spent more gold last year so this year has costed me less money and less gold so easier is my point and i used the gold on the 3 that i have over 100% on so i did not need to spend the gold

    Could it be - just wondering - that you are looking in the wrong place?? You have to look at the picture of the zodiac at the bottom of the Event menu ... So, when hovering over f.i. the Chip of the Rat (with brown ring) one can see mentioned at the bottom left above the picture of the Rat *progress: 134%* (fictive no) or something similar.
    Your posts both give me the impression you might be looking at the blue ring and the happiness bar instead (where in my menu it says 12% (= bonus) right from the blue line since 3 days too)... but I could be wrong.

    The locked bonus happiness seems to max out depending on the number of zodiac animal chips completed. I had snake and dragon left and it maxed out at 21 and stayed there even though other chips were in the 130% + collection range. Having just completed dragon and with only snake left that blue value is now up to 25.

    Sorry to come here once more and bother you guys with questions but have you, by any chance, compared your FW time with anyone else's?
    I'm asking because I've noticed a discrepancy between several other players regarding the amount of time the FW booster is available; some got 50mts, some 20mts, others got 35mts or even 15mts only.
    I was not aware that was suppose to exist this difference of FW times between players. Did anyone else noticed this discrepancy?
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
