Who asked for more monkeys, please stop with this monkey business.

Could've given us some fairies, exotic birds, owls & so many other types of animals.

[KojiMama]

Tired of monkeys really tired of monkeys giving this a complete miss and my inventory is going to fill up with garbage AGAIN. How about a poll on what types of animals players want to win? Length of events? Amount of junk they want to have to constantly unload? I never take that pop up poll but next time I see it I’ll take it.

Here is a poll for do you prefer exotic or regular pets

The only thing good all items can be sold so at least not feeling up the barn.

I love the fairies!

[ankavale1000]

Agree with above ⬆️ posts about putting an end to ‘this monkey business’

OWL … someone said Owl! Yes! I would like an owl.

Going to pass this event. Would do planes for blue expand parts except the drop rate is sooooo low I get so tomato red that I want to throw my iPad against the wall. I need to avoid planes - for inner peace lol

[TwixAndScones]

Not participating. But why do they keep doing monkeys? Unless the silent majority love them, I don't see why they keep doing them. The vocal majority don't like them.

I did however buy the "arcade cabinet" I do wish it was the same size as the game machines though.

Nooooo not monkey againnn pleaseee

[KojiMama]

How about a Bigfoot with a Bigfoot pen? Different color furs. Chupacabra? I took that poll when it came out. I think most people are for pets not exotic pets. I can’t ‘speed feed’ exotic pets and some of them are just plain creepy. Or monkeys. If monkeys were interspersed over time it would be okay but lately it’s been monkey monkey monkey. Are the programmers getting lazy and don’t want to change out the monkey code?

[caterpilar88]

Last time I already give up fireworks monkey, now another monkey:( I would love some human look like gnome better, or cute animate like butterflies

Agree wholeheartedly. The recent events have not been very desirable and now another monkey event. Fail. I?ll be opting out of this one and just focusing on train deliveries. Last event was extremely draining with the Mine being so ridiculously stingy. Not fun.

[gunder8]

...Mine being so ridiculously stingy. Not fun.

I can?t get anything to drop from the mine, and from the looks of things in the market, neither can anyone else :(

[HappyBunny09]

the mine yet again NOT giving anything like you all at storm8 cares but this game has officially become ****.!! I got 200 points to get the chest and i got like 156 points from it than i left the game came back i only 200 points like i didn’t even get the chest..

[Moissonor]

New challenge
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ?
It is
Get 25 controlers, get 25 consoles, get 250 cartridges for Piper.
Etc… for Morgan … for Lucas.

All that for a Wood plank , 200 coins and 3 experience points.

Have a good weekend

PS: I think that the message is simply continue to play for extra gifts.

[KojiMama]

What does the arcade token do? Does it just drop stuff for this event and isn’t an actual prize (like a pet)? If so lame. A lot of work for little reward.

Has a two hour timer and drops Event items.

After the two hours, it become invisible. We have to remember location and click on it.

[KojiMama]

Wow. That’s a complete waste of time and people are using/buying gems for something that’s extremely temporary. That or constantly have to discard the junk piling up in their barns. We keep hearing from moderators that players are listened to. I clearly hear ‘no more monkeys’. Yet here we have more monkeys. Make the events shorter. That doesn’t change. Stop stuffing our barns with ****. I’ve got lots of **** from this event I can’t dump fast enough. Definition of insanity: keep running the same events the same way and expect players to be happy about it.

[Ryiiann]

At 30 Pixel Art but I still can't get a single Make Up Pig, Vlog Cow, or How To Chicken. What I keep getting is Vaporwave Scarecrow, Virtual Cat Trophy, Electronic Fountain, Map of the Internet, and Fossil Rock Path. :blue:

I'm barely getting anything from the Mine too. It is really frustrating.

It used to be that we only had to get ONE of each until either the last event like this, or perhaps the event before that. It's ridiculous! Needing all these additional parts just for a single board is absurd (and quite frankly, darn-near impossible - and I play a lot and I won't even be close).

Oh, and we all know that S8 doesn't listen to us. Instead, they just keep insisting on making things less fun and enjoyable, and more repetition repetition repetition. (monkeys monkeys monkeys)! And this event is no different as KojiMama has pointed out where we simply can't unload all the **** fast enough and it becomes an angry fest to have to dump good stuff that we use in order to make the event successful. (oh, and the lack of listening isn't exclusive to just this game - they don't listen to others either, fyi).

Oh well... I guess we simply have to deal with it, no matter how frustrating it is. :(

[Moissonor]

Design problem
The Video game Monkey is not on the tile, it appears outside.

[ExcalS8]

After the two hours, it become invisible. We have to remember location and click on it.

Pushing a fix for this now.

[Moissonor]

pushing a fix for this now.

merci

[Ryiiann]

I guess it was only me who couldn't get Make Up Pig, Vlog Cow, or How To Chicken. :(
