1. Number of Upgrade Parts – The 700+ upgrade parts needed to fully upgrade are way too many. I have never been able to fully grade any of the event items. I am lucky to make to level 10. To make it to the higher level you need to have a lot of barn space and not all the players have empty barns to just use for upgrade parts.
2. Selling Upgrade Parts – We need to be able to sell upgrade parts to other players. With a higher level farm, on past events, upgrade parts already became few and far between in the newspaper. Although, I needed everyone that I did find to make it to level 10.
3. Drop Rates – On the past community events I remember that even players who were not participating still received parts from deliveries. This made it easier for us to find parts in the newspaper. If non-players cannot help players who participate then the drop rate from plane deliveries must increase. The other option is to have upgrade parts drop from other activities, like collecting from the animals (i.e. cows, pigs etc.).
4. Traps – I don’t normally use the traps but due to the changes and low drop rate I wound up using coins to buy 50-60 traps. The change to only have gem traps for this event hurts players. Most players cannot afford 20 gems for each trap. Especially with a random low number of parts/eggs. I expect some players would have used gems if the trap was maybe 1 or 2 gems. For 20 gems the team should tell us up front the minimum number of parts/eggs each trap would drop.
5. Gems for Upgrade Parts – Asking for 39 gems for just one upgrade part is over the top ridiculous. The prior event was 19 gems and personally that was still too high. A more reasonable amount would be 8 gems for each upgrade part.
6. Event Requirements – When I first started playing it seems that that there was a list of what was needed for each event at the time the event started. I could be remembering this part of the event incorrectly. It would be nice to have a list of what we need to do at the beginning instead of waiting for players to reach the next level and then post the info to the thread.
Recommendations – Drop the number of level required to fully upgrade. Along with the decrease in levels decrease the number of parts needed. Let all players receive parts from plane deliveries and of course bring back the option to sell those parts to other players. Most importantly increase the drop rate.
Sorry everyone for being really long winded in my reply.
Thanks Rynetory2 for starting this tread. Hopefully the team will finally hear us and change the event back to what it was a couple of years ago.
