At that point maybe it is time to find another game.

I was making a point that for the first time ever, I had nothing to do after the update. I then listed everything I could think of that I might have had to work on if it had been included in the update.

As for how many people are thinking of quitting Hay Day... I'm curious, but not curious enough to start a poll on the forums. Perhaps one with varied options that in a neutral fashion seeks the opinion of forumers would be appropriate? (Or would that be too toxic?)

For myself, this was the first update that I've experienced where I've had nothing to do after updating the game. There are no new crops to grow, no new trees or bushes to plant, no new products to make, no new machines to buy, nothing new in town, there aren't even any new options from Maggie. This update had NOTHING outside of the valley.

Susanna, I disagree with you on the part of your post which I underlined. Please read Nick's post with the following release notes which I've excerpted. https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...cember-2019%21

• Great improvements to the Diamond Shop. Check out the new weekly deals!

• Clearer information on the expansion and upgrade material purchase limit...

After the October update and the implementation of the controversial daily 80 UMs limit, forumites requested for a counter and Nick posted that he'll discuss it with Team Hay Day. And if they decide to implement a counter, it will be on a future update which turns out to be the update released a few days ago. I don't buy UMs regularly in the shops, but this feature will help active traders so they may stay under the limit. I'm happy for them.

The new Diamond Shop is an improvement because now we may buy UMs with diamonds instead of real monies.

Susanna, I think you're writing in earnest and not attempting irony in your post so I'll reciprocate: I'd like to suggest you PM one of the forum moderators and ask your above question. Good luck. I'd like to see a neutral poll too.

I play solo, and I can see there will be no way for me to collect 400 animals myself, not due to lack of animals, but due to the amount of fuel it takes. I caught and delivered 1 on the first day using up all my fuel up to and including the 100 pt spin + the 5 diamond spin(hippo escaped twice), .
Today I caught 3 with fuel thru the 100 pt spin.
So 3 to 6 a day is a more reasonable estimate of what 1 person can do with fuel spins up to 100.
Another diamond grab is the bonus game I "got to play" for the 1st time today. I was presented 6 cards. Behind 5 were prizes, behind 1 a bomb. They are shuffled, then you pick a card and it flips to reveal a prize or bomb. With luck, I picked all 5 prizes without hitting the bomb. BUT WAIT...
So I was sent to round 2: 9 cards with 2 bombs. I picked 3 prizes and 4th card was bomb. So I was offered to pay diamonds to collect the prizes I'd won, or quit and get nothing. Not even the prizes I got from round 1 where I didn't hit a bomb were given to me without paying diamonds. I quit and forfeited the prizes.
This valley season is very disappointing. Sorry, Nick. Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean my opinions are toxic. This is a real miss.

Since my initital valley disappointment, i’ve tried playing it again. I found a strategy of staying near a sanctuary and just keep going a round the same block every time i deliver animals. Then use the same path again as i see new animals almost on same or near the same path.

We got 40 paws now but i think i contributed like 15 or 18 out of the 40. I hope that SC tweak the 400 and make it into 150-200 instead.

How many of the tokens did you get to keep and how many went into the piggy bank you’ll have to pay diamonds to open at the end of the season?

Our valley is doing well,about 70 animals collected. I have noticed it’s taking a lot more fuel; the animals are easy to find but then there’s the drive to the sanctuary. I have spent some diamonds on fuel, not sure if I’ll continue to do so. As for the rewards, I have 1 scroll and 1 puzzle piece available. I’m hoping to get the premium deco from the animals collected plus those two items. No intention of spending diamonds for the piggy bank, the fuel is enough. I think this valley season is a great idea, but it really almost demands some diamond spending. My choice to do so thus far, I’ll reserve further judgement until the season is over.

Im starting to think the intensity of diamond grabbing has severely increase with the introduction of this season.

i think you’re spot on about the diamond grab. It’s really starting to p*** me off. Everything seems to be tailored to getting you to spend as many as possible. I know it’s optional and you don’t HAVE to spend them but I don’t think it’s coincidental that the new diamond shop area now has Deals and Weekly Offers all costing diamonds and where scrolls and puzzle pieces are also to be found. I hope that doesn’t mean that those two items are going to be even rarer than they are at present. :mad:

Thank you for this suggestion, but I'm not curious enough to do that either. It was a serious suggestion. If there was a poll then people could stop guessing how much of which type of opinion people have about the valley changes. People tend to believe that others agree with them, especially when they see others posting the same opinions. A poll would give a more accurate, though not completely scientific, idea of where opinion is on the matter.

Susanna

I’m happy to give the valley changes a chance, see how they work out but must admit I’m finding it very confusing.

I play on 3 farms (I know, I’m sad) and on each one I’ve turned over one of the bombs in the second section and lost the prizes so I won’t be bothering with that again. Looks like it will cost 5 diamonds to cancel a bomb in round 1, 10 diamonds in round 2 and (I’m assuming) 15 diamonds in round 3.

I like the refuelling stops though. Managed a few freebies yesterday and was able to pick up quite a few animals and drop them off but can’t understand why it takes 30 minutes to unload 3 giraffes.

Not sure I’m imagining it but did the layout change as well? Seems fewer bridges around or do I need to get a better Sat Nav system?

It's a bit more expensive than that. As Nick wrote https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...1#post12437170
