    People are placed into groups, so there will be one person out of that group that will be placed 1st, 2nd, etc.

    My concern exactly. Well, actually 2 people from the group can get the duck and her duckling (1st and 2nd place) but still that's just two people whereas everyone can get the mallard. How about making top 5 or 3 that get the duck set?

    The event has just barely started but I already know I won't get them with my opponents way ahead of me with 200-300+ points already unless I massively spend on boosters, meaning gems and play non-stop. I appreciate the fairness that players in the group are within similar level though.

    Edit1: yep, the popping banner covers the crafting options, please move it somewhere else?

    Edit2: I think it's better to save your mining tools and fishing baits for Christmas event if you don't plan to fully invest into this event, that's what I plan to do. Too few points for fishing and I still haven't found the bundle points in mining but I won't waste anymore of my tools.

    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?

    Those ducks will be awarded at the end of the leaderboard event to the people in 1st & 2nd place in your league table. Your prize depends on where you come in the board ... it's a competition between all of you in your group. Keep collecting your points right up until the end.

    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.......
