saw the leaderboard : absolutly not interested. already over 50 pets so i can pass the duck (besides can not produce enough food for all of them)
i'm not even interested by the lower prices

For the love of all that is holy, can the pop up banner be moved from the bottom? I'm going bonkers with it flashing right over the crafting options.

Question: with all the reported issues on the new update, I have not yet downloaded and installed version 2.6. Will the event be postponed until the issues are resolved?

What issues are you referring to? I didn't see any major or show stopper issues reported. There were 2 members having issues logging into their game but it might be due to their individual factors.

From what I know, the players in my group are tons of points ahead, like gaining 400 points within 15mins. So they are able to play. I have no issues using the new version but I'm bowing out gracefully from this event because there is no way I can earn 400 points every 15mins to keep up. Not to mention I need more points than that in order to secure the top 2 positions.

The event is in progress. I would suggest that you download and try out the new version to participate.

It's a shame but I also cannot get the winning duck set but we all can still get the mallard if we manage to collect 8k points. Would be nice to have a whole duck family but that's still something

Btw, what does 2 points/hour mean? Is that max 2 points we can get per hour or is that 2 points per hour we can regardless of what we do and on top of when we feed/collect from farm animals?

Many thanks sweetie for your kind and encouraging words. I'm afraid the mallard is at 10,000 points for me and that means I've to do 335 high level deliveries per day which is quite impossible cos the crafts needed take longer to craft. Maybe easier for lower level farms though. I think this is impossible unless we buy the gem boosts. But then again a member has achieved 10,000 in a single day so there's hope.

Anyways let me check and try to get more info on the 2 points/hour.

Edit to add: I've sent in your question. Hopefully I'll get an answer soon.

The 3 points/hr for Bakery means that you get 6 points for crafting a 2 hr craft. The points are given according to the duration of craft time. Bread gets 1 point because it's only 15mins.

Likewise for the 2 points/hr for animals. Cows and chickens get 1 point for their short harvesting time. The longer the animal takes to harvest, the more points you get from it. Hope this helps.

Was there such event with duck and her duckling before? I might try next year maybe

This is the first time we are offered ducks as pets.

Thanks, now I see how it works. So I could actually try baking bread, let's say 15mins x4 that would give me 4 points in 1 hour but I would need to be constantly playing, hmmmm

Btw, how big are the groups? I'm competing against 20 players while my friend only 10.

I just reached over 10,000 got my mallard but where are the other ducks?

The event started a day ago and you already have 10k and the duck?!? You must have spent a ton of gems. Also 10000 is a bit much. I know you can get the trophies from doing other tasks (but not very many), but it would take 2000 deliveries to get there, which is insane.......
