I definitely wasn't expecting a donkey cart as a milestone pet at all. I mean no one was, but out of all pets they could've choose, they did a donkey - I'm shocked, but also really glad to see a new type of pet.

Anyway, all I'm interested in is the milestone prizes for this particular leaderboard, mostly the donkey. After I receive all the milestones, I will cease/stop all participation.

Have you seen the Donkey Cart that drops watermelons.
He was a limited prize when we got the watermelon crop.
Really cute.
On my farm if you want to check it out.

The milestone prizes are cute especially the floral donkey cart... I have the perfect spot for it once I get it! Next to my other donkey cart. As for the grand prizes, I really can't see anyone fighting over a pinata decoration.. let alone spending gems to win it.. I would be really shocked if they do!!

I hope this Floral Donkey Cart is as big as the regular (watermelon) Donkey Cart - a 2x2. That would really make my day, if it was.

Me too because if he is the same size they will look so cute together as a couple!

I'm interested to see if the Pinata is an exotic pet (or pet). It is interesting because I'm not sure how it can be animated.

Edit: I just realized that Excal posted his message at the same time I asked my question. Thanks Excal lol :) It looks pretty.

The Pinata isn't a decoration :)

Oh really. Wow! I take back what I said then. Now it has me wondering if it's a regular pet or exotic

If the bouncing is any indication, that looks like "a done feeding" animation for a regular pet. It doesn't give me "exotic" vibes. Exotic pets usually stay in place during/after feeds - or at least a part of it does.

[Natasha_07]

A 5 de Mayo event is quite nice although it came on the very day, well...

Anyways I like all the milestone prizes but especially I like the flower fountain, ah flowers... Life is beautiful...! :)

[Natasha_07]

With that animation I would say it's definitely a regular pet, perhaps an 'abstract' looking unicorn. :)

[TwixAndScones]

Good news! I have the Floral Donkey Cart now, 100+ gems later though. The good news being it's the same size as the watermelon donkey cart.

Anyway, I don't have an area I could put it in yet. Pairing it with the other donkey cart would be nice, but for me personally, it has to match an area or colour scheme on my farm, which it wouldn't if I were to do that myself.

[Natasha_07]

Strange thing happened, I collected from the pigs & got the bacon but my game was suddenly loading & the bacon disappeared.

I closed the game & reopen it but the bacon wasn't in storage & pigs showed already collected.

I don't know...:(

That was the dreaded roll back. It happened to me yesterday after loading flowers on my train. Checking on my next item, I discovered the flowers I loaded had disappeared and the train slot that was finished reverted to unchecked. Had to regrow 3 sets of flowers to complete it again.
I try not to do any farming when I know something is happening on their end, like giving the new event item location. Sorry you lost your bacon.

[RoyalBlue305]

OT but roll-backs also happen when someone visits your farm and drops off hearts, but the hearts aren’t visible to you yet. Best thing is to always visit a neighbor or community member and then come back to your farm and then force close the app before you make important moves on your farm. Then open the app back up. The hearts they dropped off will appear and then that means your game has re-set and matched to the S8 server. It basically re-authenticates vs working from a cached position. If you don’t manually re-set your game as a precaution before making moves, you run the risk of the dreaded roll-back when your game finally catches up to the server. It’s frustrating so I always re-set before a major move and then take a screen shot of any item that I won just in case I need to file a trouble ticket to prove I got it. I always take screen shots of gem purchases as well just in case.

[KojiMama]

That sounds like a programming gap. They should be able to let the hearts appear without impacting normal play.

Hihihi that funny lost bacon, i sale bacon everyday, let me add u so i can offer u low price bacon

[Lapetshop7]

It could be more than just losing the bacon. I have had this happen before more than once and I lost the leaderboard points I collected from the pigs because game refreshed on its on or whatever or the game closed out. So definitely could be more than just about bacon. Every leaderboard point counts and I hate when I lose some

The Pinata
Habitats: Mythical Meadow, Summer Pool or Bird Tree

Got my first silver trophy on my main farm. I was on first place for about 4-5 days, but since I didn't fight to stay there and actually didn't really collect any leaderboard points for a bit, I dropped down to a 2nd place. Which is fine, but I am happy to finally have a silver trophy now. All my other trophy up until now has been gold.

Anyway... glad the pi?ata pet can go in the mythical meadow, as I already have that habitat displayed. Now that habitat is full/up to capacity.

Excited for the next event(s) tomorrow. Wonder what the prizes will be - hoping it something that may interest me to participate.

Pinata so tiny

[JustKay]

Pinata so tiny

It?s so weirdly narrow. Shouldn?t it be full of candy? Would have been cool if it was dispersing candy while it?s running around :D Sleeps standing up with it?s head down (unlike other horse shaped pets that flop lying down). I guess it only has ?two? legs so it can?t share the same animations. All fed up now, so let?s see what It?s other animations are like.

Pinata so tiny

I too was hoping for oversized with my vision.
