Could the Booster prizes please be interspersed among the other prizes (the same as all other items) so that we're not forced to pick 2 Boosters. I don't like Boosters much & feel as if I'm losing 2 prizes every week.

Yes please! I do not want to be forced to take two boosters every week. Yesterday and today I had to trash several in order to make room. And then i got one in a red box. Grr.
I want choice! (please)
Just claiming this week's prizes & I have 2 identical Boosters in 1 column so now have even less choice.
I actually dislike this idea. The boosters are the only prizes I care about (outside puzzle pieces and permits, but those are rare and only finitely useful), so the 2 guaranteed boosters are nice to see. Do you forget how utterly useless the horseshoe prizes are? 13 free Tom hours are way more useful than 2 axes. That could get you 54 axes, at the cost of the same prize oppourtunity.
And for people complaining their boosters are overflowing - USE THEM! They can't overflow if you use them, that's what they're meant for. Since you get 2 per week guaranteed if you derby with enough horseshoe slots, there is no point in hoarding them, you know you'll be getting more.

That being said, I'm glad someone likes the dedicated booster columns. At least Hay Day isn't irking everyone.
Well, everything seems to have dedicated columns for showing up. So even if they got rid of the booster-only columns, that doesn't mean those columns would suddenly have a deco chance. And if they got rid of all the dedicated columns, that could even lower the deco chance altogether.Quote:

(I don't even care about puzzle pieces enough since picking up neighbour townies can't give paw prints.)

Personally I don't mind either way, but I think the argument against them not being in specific columns is stronger. As it is, people are forced to take Boosters & solo/small hoods can't get any. Whereas if it's all mixed up people have more opportunity & more choice.
I play solo so I don't get any Boosters on the Derby, which suits me fine.
Most of them don't help me anyway. I don't need my trees & bushes to grow faster. I stack, so It makes no difference to me if my machines run faster, I don't really use Rose & Ernest. I don't pay to hire Tom so the Tom going faster booster is only any good if I win a FREE Tom. The Boat Boosters are ok, but the FREE Tom is the only Booster that I enjoy getting.
I do use them as they come up, but I still get over run by them & frequently trash one. I'm definitely not paying diamonds (to use two at the same time) make my trees grow faster, simply to 'use them up'.
As for getting Paw Prints on NH visitors - it would be yet another blow to us solo players, so it's quite nice that everyone needs to serve at least two visitors to get extra rewards. Equal playing field.
However, as it's just stuff you get from wheating & not actual puzzle pieces, I really wouldn't care if they changed it.
The paw prints show up on NH visitors, they just don't carry over. It was intended to work, but doesn't, and Supercell hasn't even addressed it. :rolleyes: They're getting so sloppy lately, it's frustrating.Quote:

I just mentioned the types of things that seem to have dedicated columns, since those types of columns are the point of contention. SEMs, BEMs, and LEMs are available in abundance through wheating, the minimal bonus from derby horseshoe columns in negligible.Quote:

Derby was a place I could get as much as 9 tapes. And it happens with others I talk to, they are always desperate to get that one thing they do not have.Quote:

Wasteful to use a tree booster when we don't need more fruit, wasteful to use a crop booster without the corresponding derby task. Who cares if potatoes grow 1 hr faster if I'll be asleep anyway? And I don't want to grow them in the day and tie up my farm for several hours if it's not for a derby task.Quote:

Not saying that there shouldn't be a choice for two boosters. Give people a choice, just mix up the columns. You want your two boosters? Fine, pick them. We're at a point when we need to just trash them? Give us a chance to pick a bem or a deco instead. Everyone's happy, including SC who will probably get more $$ from increased reshuffles.

The glitch was the Paw Print showing, not the fact it disappeared when they unloaded onto your farm. They are only supposed to be on visitors from the Eggspress Train.
Ive just added a separate thread suggesting changing the booster storage system as I think it might alleviate some of the discontent. I could be wrong. https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...ooster-storage
