Hey everyone,
A new event has started that doubles the coins you'll receive for completing Truck Orders. As always, we want to hear your feedback on this event so we can continue to make future events better.
Post away and double down on Truck Orders this week!!
-jpaw
My fav event!:eek:
Here are some of the things I would like there to be at an event:
1. More chances to find/get diamonds
2. When you grow sugarcanes, get double XPs.
3. Every time you open a mystery box, it's never locked.
4. In the wheel of fortune, two or more jackpots.
5. A discount in all the shop
My favorite, too! I'm going to lay off my boat sales for the duration of this event and focus on truck orders!
i think that is a good ideaQuote:

:mad: It's hard enough to find anything for sale in the newspaper and with this event - there is NOTHING but empty ads! please return to the newspaper that changes every 3 minutes and let us put ads in every 5 minutes or so... At least it made it worth going through the paper. With this event, unless you have super fast Internet and time it perfectly, there is nothing to buy! just makes this game very frustratingA,
This event is only good for people who are in need of coins, which rules me and the majority of high level players out. The only real affect it's having on those of us who are not in need of coin would be the newspaper is frustrating like some have mentioned. It's practically impossible to get anything good. Even if you manage to get something from the first farm you visit, for the remainder of the time before next refresh, it's like all the rest are empty. :(
Yes!! And for me the newspaper and other roadside stalls take forever to load now. :(Quote:

anyway lets make some coins for the jewellery :) thx!
I thought it was just my phone. I had such a hard time finding plain popcorn? Couldn't get to the pages in time so slowQuote:

Double coins events are very welcome for players like me who still need them to buy all production buildings. I will not take boat orders during event unless I got really easy boat. Instead I would help friends on several crates to get some boat points. I wouldn't miss green vouchers at all, so my boats bye-bye.

I also thought it was my 3G connection, it seems that this slow loading pages are common during events, with newspaper great event.Quote:

I'm on level 56, so money is far less important than XP, in fact I only fulfil truck orders with high XP points now. Although, I am saving for a tractor....... :)
ps this is my first post! Have been reading the forums for a while and always find them useful and interesting.
Just chiming in. As others have said, this event is great for lower level players and more or less a non-factor for high level players (like me). And I'm fine with that!
Not every event needs to be groundbreaking like the double vouchers one we all love. There doesn't seem to be any kind of event that does not change the market/newspaper in some way, but I think that has to be expected. When the game changes incentives for players, then other aspects will change temporarily to adjust.
I'm mostly just glad that Supercell is continuing to make new and interesting event, even if this one doesnt particularly interest me.
I read people's opinion on current event and while I really LOVE double coins events I agree with high level players who would prefere double XPs to progress faster. Maybe you could make both sides satisfied and bring us double coins&double XPs event in future.
Also speeding up slow producing machines would be great I am always out of jams after I fill boat orders and I think it might be other players case too.
Rehashed events!
Is this how it's going to be? Is SC going to recycle these events every week? Surely there's gotta be other new events in the works. Spice it up, make it different before it gets old, SC.
fix the newspaper, the rehashed ads are back!!
I happened to need some coins since I helped my mom (buy & sell B&E back & forth until she is rich;)
But I would rather see something new - there were lots of suggestions - a bunch of us don't need the money, and it seems like these events focus on coins. Sometimes vouchers ...better, but now that I just fish with worms and have my pets even that is kinda dull.
Just think of all the good stuff that would be in the DD if the machines were faster (sugar, cheese, jam, jellybeans!)
I like these events - even if they don't really impact me, I just think SC ignores really good suggestions even though they keep asking for them.
I'm starting to think this issue is just what happens when the number of people advertising drops sharply.Quote:

There might not be an actual solution except if that's the case except to stop creating situations where people are rewarded to not sell in the paper.
I can definitely see how this event would benefit some players, mainly those who need to earn coins. I have over a million coins so truck orders aren't really useful. Even double XP wouldn't really be much use as the only thing I have left to earn is jelly beans and I don't plan on making those anyway once I get them (uses precious jam). If I were still trying to level up I could see how this event would be great though and I am happy it helps the lower levels earn coins. If there were new machines added for me to spend coins on I would like this event even more! I do like the idea of the events overall and would like to see more that generates double vouchers, increases the number of expansion items given, better WoF gifts, better gift card choices (sore subject), increases the number of diamonds available, etc...or shortens the time it takes to make sugar/jam/dairy products. Keep it up, SC!
This event, coupled with the 30 minute turn around time for newspaper ads,turns HayDay into an extremely frustrating game. Nothing is available for purchase in the ads - HayDay is forced to rerun ads which were previously sold out just to fill the paper. Unless you're at a lower level and need coins, this event provides nothing but frustration! :mad:
frustrating indeed. rehashed or not its just so difficult to find anything. you either be lightning fast or dont bother buying at all. while its neat i get 6000 coin for a 2 diamond ring truck order i'd rather you come up with events that give double xp. why is it you guys are so afraid of people leveling up?? if you want people to keep playing then come up with new machines and items already!!
Oh! Are the ads re-hashed? That would explain why even though I am being lightning-quick at selecting ads containing items I need they are never there when the paper loads!! It's been driving me nuts!! It doesn't help either that when a new paper loads it takes 5 seconds for the initial page to turn :(
yes, to confirm, view the farm's stats. if the most player visits are like 30,000 or sonething then the ads are mostly rehashed. a normal player should have visits somewhere between 200-2000. any more it would be fishy.Quote:

I would like to see this added too. It would help considerably once a player is over level 40. I think that's how the truck event went last time, but I could be wrong. I guess we can't have everything all the time.Quote:

Still, I'd like to see them add more to the higher levels.
Hi,
i'd like to chime in and say that getting double coins keeps people from advertising in the paper. The quality of goods available in the paper drops drastically. It would be better to get a paper with fewer ads if that is all that is available at the moment than to get a paper with rehashed/old ads and find yourself staring at empty stalls. Refreshing the paper faster would be good as well.
best regards,
I LOVE this event.
Thank you supercell, I love double coin ,still waiting for double XP though :))))
the Winchester farm
I love the double coin events :) I suppose we can't always have double XP or double voucher events :)
I want the newspaper event back........permanently!!!
The game has gotten boring again, thanks to the return of tedious shopping.
~powdermonkey
I like this event but hate that the newspaper is back to Frustration Central!
Really wish you would change the newspaper back to how it was in the last event - refreshing quickly.
The event itself is fine and very helpful to many players as it was last time. I'm at the point though where I just want to stop playing when the newspaper gets like this. Too frustrating
Can someone explain to me what's wrong with the newspaper?
Yeah, I don't seem to be having the problems with the newspaper that other people are having. Since the beginning of the truck event, I've found strawberry cakes, syrup, building supplies... Some empty stalls, but not an excessive amount.
It helped me start repairing my fishing boat and I am now working on getting a juicer. Thanks! (Signature wrong, level 30 now)
So a truck order is worth 410 coins on the board...does that mean i should get 820 coins when i fulfil it? If so, then this event is not working for me and i'm missing out on loads of coins!:mad:
I'm really enjoying the event, but now, there is something really wrong with the newspaper.
REALLY, really wrong. I'm getting empty stalls all the time, even for eggs or wheat, isn't it weird?
Didn't use to happen before, in fact, I was never the first, but it's terrible and frustrating how it is now. :(
no its not certain! you have to be discerning even though its a bonus coin event. some orders are not worth it at all so make sure you have your calculator ready if need be. the event DOES give double coin but for some of them, its worth even lesser than it should so with the double coin its equivalent to the original price of the item. its like how some shops mark up their stuff then pretend to give you a discount lolQuote:

Why we dont get double vouchers from jewelry truck orders? if we were able to get double vouchers from truck orders too, it would have been great help to me. :) but i am still happy with the double coins only too :)
yes...that's why i always get my calculator ready when this even starts! LolQuote:

Yes! Double XP everywhere around the farm. And then maybe shortened production time (on top of masteries!)Quote:

The newspaper should permanently be rotated at a faster pace with ads being posted constantly by the vendors. This made the game more fun, with more challenge to be fast enough to get the NEEDED items and kept my interest. The newspaper is frustrating and boring right now.
P.S. Could you make the wheel spin to possibly win special items and greatly needed items.... 5 creams, 5 butter, 5 sugar or syrup, 5 cheese, 3 hard to get tickets, not just one unneeded item..... How exciting this would be when we won!! It would also help with the shortage!!
Thanks!
Julie
I'm very happy with the bonus coin earning events. I can never seem to get coins built up. So this event is really good for me!
100% agree on both of your points!Quote:

Follower count: 555
Likes count: 1378
Now, I'm not against Hay Day putting in bots or duplicating ads if the items being sold are worth it. Let's face it, we complain when we don't find BEMs, SEMs and LEMs in the Daily Dirt, but I'll be entirely honest with you, I ONLY sell these items when I have extras. And I think everyone does the same. So if there were a few fake accounts selling decent items like sugar, jams, etc... I'm all for it.
After all, it was thanks to IA IA OH that I got 4 tapes!
Hopefully in the future something can be done about these dead adverts that keep reappearing in the DD. It really is such an annoying thing to click on the advert and be taken to a dead farm and to see that I am the 99583rd player to get suckered into clicking on that dead advert.
Especially the screw ad. So freaking annoying!Quote:

The higher level players complain that they don't need the coins so an event like this is not terribly helpful for them. So why aren't the higher level players still selling product at their roadside shops? If you don't need an event like this that gives extra coins, then you should still be selling your products as usual. The newspaper is full of rehashed ads because EVERYONE stops selling. I go through all my friends' shops and find they are all empty except maybe one or two out of like 50 friends. So those of you who are complaining about empty stalls, what do you have for sale in yours? How many ads did you place during the event? If you don't like the rehashed ads, then start advertising and selling. Then the newspaper won't have to be filled with rehashed ads. I don't like it either and I couldn't wait for the event to be over so the newspaper would get back to normal. The only way it's going to be normal though is when people start selling again and there are enough new ads to replace the rehashed ones. I think we, the players, have more control over the problem with the newspaper than we realize. Just my opinion.
Oddly, as a fairly new player, I didn't find the double coins all that helpful. I can almost always make more money selling the truck order products on my stand - even at double coins.
Regarding the newspaper, if they make it TOO easy to get stuff, no one will ever purchase the little boy. Remember in your comments that what is done with the paper affects the little boy, and therefore potential profit for the company.

Kaylin I'm not sure calling some ignorant makes you look any better. This is a chat thread and anyone can give an opinion. But to call someone ignorant is ignorant. Are we in third grade? Are we going to throw stick too? . Jeez guys take a chill pill and go play some hayday! I
Everyone has a right to their opinion. Keep that in mind when you post YOUR opinion please.
i dont really care, seriously. when i offered to help you with an expansion item once you told me "someone beat you to it". someone beat me to it? are we in a competition to help you? am i desperate to do it? im not sure if what you said made you look any better either.Quote:

To answer you, kaylinpickles, yes I know what rehashed ads are. One of the very first conversations I participated in in this forum had to do with ads running for the full 3 hours and everyone, including you, was trying to convince me that an ad is pulled as soon as the advertised product was sold. I disputed this point way back then before the events started and the issue with the newspaper came along because I had seen ads rerunning that I had already checked previously and the item was already gone. You and the others were insisting that this was the reason that bacon and eggs was the chosen ad because it wouldn't get bought quickly and the ad would continue to run, where as if you advertised something more interesting, it would sell immediately and your ad would be pulled. Obviously you all were wrong then because I think it's plainly obvious that no matter what you advertise for sale, it's going to get the full 3 hours, whether it's sold or not. Think about it - if the newspaper refreshes every five minutes, then your advertised item is going to shuffle and re-run repeatedly. When you place an ad, it doesn't say advertise for 3 hours OR UNTIL SOLD!! It just says 3 hours. But of course, this is just my humble opinion.
if its really like what you said - you advertise something it goes on for FULL 3 hours irregardless of whether the item has been sold or not, then please kindly explain why is it when you have a stand full of items and when the advertised item gets sold, nobody will come in and buy the rest of the items anymore, until you place another ad? if an ad goes on for a full 3 hours then people would come in continuously, in a steady stream isn't it? apparently that is not the case. if its like what you said, then why would anyone need to use bacon & eggs as a dummy ad or whine when their advertised item gets sold? because the rest of the items are left on the stand, simple as that.Quote:

sorry to have used the word ignorant. please be assured i wasn't trying to say you are one, it has got nothing to do with you as a person of course. i just didn't like that you used an accusatory "tone" saying that we're all hording and not selling. theres a limit to how many items you can put up. we don't have 5 or 10 of each machine.
When I said someone beat you to it means that I am loyal to the first offer I get. At least I was nice enough to let you know I didn't need your help and then thanked you for it! I feel it's time to get off your high horse and enjoy the game. I don't see a reigning queen on this game. Maybe you should keep some of your negative comments to your self. Everybody is untitled to their own comments just not negative ones.Quote:

OK everyone- let's continue this thread in the topic that JPAW asks for-

Waiting to see the next mystery box offer. It was fun to try for the turbo because you are under a little more time pressure but it will get done. Coins are always a good thing. You never know when you will need that emergency golden pig riding statue. :)

As for me, I am glad the truck event is over (*yawn*), and that the DOUBLE BOAT VOUCHERS are back! YAY!!! If I can score a couple of gold vouchers, maybe I can finally get that last horse. :)
~powdermonkey
I really dislike complaining and rarely do so, especially when I like this double voucher event, but, jeez, come on, SC, can the team tweak the order algorithm or something? A special event isn't special if players can't achieve what's being asked and the proffered rewards are illusory.
Out of the last five boats I've had four orders for apple jam...that's 3 crates of 3 per so 36 jams, not to mention the unholy amounts of cream, sugars, butters, and ice creams being asked for as well. With the help of great friends and neighbors, I've managed two boats out of the last six, but the rest have been cast off because of the impossibility of filling them.
Im not going to waste my stock on an unfillable boat order with no hope of vouchers when I can sell it roadside for market price and make more than I can even with the double coin incentive. I'm still working on boat points III, but rather than moving forward using this event as I had hoped, I'm going nowhere.
I know there have been plenty of comments, complaints, and suggestions regarding the amounts asked for or shorter production times, and I understand that it's all comes down to a dollars and cents, euros or yens bottom line for SC, but in the long run, that same bottom line is going to be affected if players start to bail because after a certain point in the game it becomes impossible to progress and fun and play becomes more effort and work than its worth.
I agree completely. Today double cookie boat, second boat cookies, third boat cookies. No variation in product requests makes no sense due to the thousands of variable options. Plus, my order board never changes no matter how many times I discard. It just keeps regenerating the same requests over and over again. Very un-fun!Quote:
