I don't want to be a downer but at the rate we are going we are not going to make this event goal either. Based on the hourly output for the first 8 hours of the game if we keep this pace up we will fall about 6.5 million short. So I'm wondering if we are losing participants/players or if Supercell is setting our goals too high?
This even is during the week, instead of the weekend...
hope it's only once, else we get a lot of failed events... Don't have time to play during the week, i'm WORKING......
It looks good to me, actually. From the counter (given that it is right) it seems there are about 100 boats per second (6,000 per minute, 360,000 per hour, 8,640,000 per day/24 hrs*5 are about 43,200,000 ). At this rate we should make it. I feel I'm off somewhere lol :D ;)
It would be easier for me to participate if they would quit giving me Fish Boats!!! Ugh!!!

So, we seem to be on track.
Although its very hard to jump on any conclusion atm.
p.s. You messed up some zeroes (0's) in your calculation up there...;)
edit - You corrected those 0's before i can reply...lol
I knew it looked wrong, haha. Edited it above :)
Well, since the event just started, things are always abit slow at the beginning. Maybe players don't know a new event has started? Plenty of reasons. Let's just all do our part and see how it goes in a couple days.
Yeah, I agree. I'm not complaining, some people work weekends, and I don't mind a change of pace sometimes. I'm going to give it my best, but there's no way I can complete this event during the week because I work. I'm hoping for the best but not terribly optimistic here. I do hope they move events back to weekends. Still, I'm happy to get an event.Quote:

Wow, put that way, it might be tough. If they kept it proportional, the 5-day goal should be 32 250 000.Quote:

OTOH...there may be more people playing now, if the player base is growing. And we made the goal pretty easily last time, so the higher goal might be in reach.
Last event soured me. Skipping this one.
Regarding player base, I feel like there are less active players now. My items that used to sell fast in my RSS don't sell quickly or at all lately. Been like this since the last event...
I think we will make it -- this is a boat event so it's not like you have to play for extended periods -- you can load machines, pop out, and come back later :)
The prize is only 5 diamonds anyway. Not that I'm not happy to get diamonds, but you can get those by searching for a few toolboxes. It's not like the Easter basket, where there was no other way to get it.
For me, the personal rewards are more interesting that the global reward this time. Even if it might be saws. Hey, it might be gold vouchers, too.
Speaking of which...I got a gold voucher for the last boat I sent off. Which means I now I have 20. Should I get a brown donkey? I've got everything else I want that needs gold vouchers.
OTOH, maybe I should save them for the update? Who knows what might be in that...
Yeah, we'd rather have the unique décor item too. That would be GREAT for the wedding chapel we do from time to time - better than a bridal flowerpot!!!!!Quote:

Have fun with feeding carrot every hour and get a tool in the 4th hour.
Can I just come to your farm and watch yours? ;)Quote:

My advice. Watch Perky's donkeys and save those vouchers. Remember there are more bunnies coming. Unless they come up with a 20 golden voucher bunny , you might be able to get four bunnies for the cost of one goofy looking carrot eater.Quote:

i don't know about your Hay Day donkeys, but mine poops bolts and deeds. :cool:
That said, if you are at all uncertain, you should probably wait for the update.
Dang Willa. And I thought chickens have it difficult.
I agree, but it was a real downer to see that they went back to crappy personal event goals this time. It was a huge step forward on last event where they only rewarded vouchers, because that ment everybody got some yummy gold and purple vouchers if they completed. This event, I got 2 saws on first event, and if trend continues to the end, I'll most likely not be bothered to put energy into finishing all 10 or 15 boats or however many will be needed for final goals.Quote:

I got 1 blue voucher, 2 nails so far this time. I'm happy so far. I need nails, and I never get them.
So far I've received vouchers for my first two...green on the first and I think pink or blue on the second. I'm very happy with the vouchers, would definitely rather have those than dynamite or axes/saws, lol. And of all things, I'm low on green vouchers. :p
I have received saws and purple vouchers so far in this event. I like boat events - really extra rewards as I do boats anyway.
Many people work on weekends so perhaps events on other days may suit them.
So far, I've received 2 shovels, 2 nails, and 2 mallets.
I'd be filling boats anyway, and the diamonds will be a nice bonus if we reach the target, but I'm not knocking myself out for this event.
Hey, my chickens left me a plank this morning! :eek:Quote:

Even with a busy real life schedule, it's easy to meet the goals for the boat event. I've sent 1 boat off empty as it was asking for cheese and 2 other cheese products.
I have completed 3 of the goals, 2 shovels, 1 gold voucher, 2 gold vouchers. Good prizes this time, but sometimes I don't get ones I'm happy with either but I do the event anyways. It evens out, sometimes you get good and sometimes the not so good.
2 mallets for my 3rd goal
Charliedagg asked why people don't want to do this event:
Because the boats are asking for really precious items, like cream and cheese and sugar and syrup, and these are hard to keep in stock at the best of times. If I'm going to use these on boats, it has to be *REALLY* worth it.
I'm happy with this event because, as someone said above, I do boats anyway. So far I've gotten two TNT and a total of three gold vouchers :)
I don't do a lot of boats. I cast off most of my boats when I was in the lower level, coin-hungry stage, and kind of got in the habit. Basically, I only do boats if they are easy - that is, if I have the stuff in stock and don't mind parting with it.
So how did I get Boat Score Hunter III?
Mostly by filling other people's crates. No waiting around for your boat to arrive, just check the DD. And you can fill only the crates you want to fill.
Edit 2 land deeds for my third goal.Quote:

so far, I got:

Wood Panels x2
Purple Vouchers x2
Planks x2
So far:
2 TNT
2 nails
2 yellow vouchers
very happy with this. I rarely get yellow voucher so this was a nice surprise :cool:.
I didn't get land deeds. I got two mallets for my third goal. :p
My Goals so far:-
2 TNT
1 Gold voucher
I don't do those boats either, I cast them off empty, as I said in my post, I had to cast off a boat already. I have found to if you keep those precious items to high or to low you will get more boats asking for them. I might be crazy on this observation, but it seems to me the boat orders tend to have 1 item that you have lots of and 1 you don't have many on.Quote:

My rewards so far have been:
1. 2 shovels
2. 2 screws
3. 2 land deeds
And since I'm taking care of my fathers farm for a while:
1. 2 dynamites
2. 2 nails
3. 2 marker stakes
No gold vouchers so far but I'm happy with the rewards, anything is better than nothing or no event.
For us in japan its holiday time. For the next week or so many players will be offline as they visit family around japan.
On a side note though this is just nromal boat filling. Some you do others you don't. I think of the rewards as a bonus to the coins and Xp I get so i don't really worry. Now the 5 diamonds will be nice but I'd rather work for the special prizes like the egg basket we tried for in the last event. If we reach the global total great if not well there is always next time.
So far,
1. 2 TNTs
2. 2 Nails
3. 2 Deeds
This has been my experience, too. I sometimes let my wheat get very low in hopes of getting a wheat or bread boat. Or i sell off all my woolens because I don't mind having to buy them back to fill a boat.Quote:

FWIW...by my rough calculations, we are on pace to make this goal. With 3 days, 9 hours left to go, we should be at about 12 million boats to make 37 million by the end of the event. We're at 13.7 million.
Find my self playing Hay Day alot less now. Events have been ridiculous lately. Boats, fishing, boats, fishing, then the failed Easter event, and then right back to boats.
What happen to double coin walk ups and double voucher trucks etc? We haven't seen those in a long time. Hay Day was the only farming game I actually liked the wife got me into it. Now I own all the machines, everything is unlocked I have 3 more achievements to do and then what? Keep levelling up to get 2 gems?
I just don't see a point any more. Events were the only thing keeping me going but I am done with boats and fishing. So it's been fun Hay Day but your lack of innovation has me looking else where for my entertainment needs.

Boat event is good for me (though I think it happens too frequently these days). At my level I have too much coins and only one product locked, so I'm only aiming for exp and level up as quickly as I can. I do most of my boat orders (and tons of truck orders of course) and I usually fill 4 boats a day. Yes, premium items like cakes and icecreams are hard to find and hard to make, but what else should I use them for? :cool:
BTW, so far I got 2 dynamits, 1 gold voucher, 2 purple vouchers, and 2 bolts for reward. Aside from the first reward, it's actually not too bad :)
I have noticed that we are now getting consecutive boats asking for the same item. For me it is cheesecake and soy sauce. My next boat wants more soy sauce, plus two different lots of sushi. Guess where that boat is going - down the river empty, just like the one before it. SC does seem to be trying to persuade us to buy diamonds and hire Tom. Ain't gunna happen!! I am totally over events, and this event in particular. I will do what boats i can, as per normal, but I am most definitely not going to make an effort just for 5 diamonds.Quote:

I really should go back and sell stuff in my rss to gain enough money to buy that juice maker but filling crates is kind of addictive :rolleyes:
I'm with you on that, lol! I don't really need to do boat orders any more...not really in a hurry to level up so don't really need the experience from it, but it's just addictive for some reason.Quote:

2x TNT
gold voucher
2x purple voucher
~powdermonkey
So far i've gotten:
Blue voucher
Purple voucher
2 yellow vouchers
2 duct tape
I'm pretty nervous about meeting the event goal myself. Don't know if it's due to the rise in the global event number, or what, but it seems we're more behind than usual?
I think we'll be fine. To be "on pace" to reach the global goal now, we should be at 17.9 million boats. We're at 21.6 million. We'll make it.Quote:

Underwhelmed at the mallets - don't need LEMs any more - but the rest are okay.
For this event, I received:
2 shovels
2 nails
2 mallets
2 gold vouchers
5 TNT
Other than the gold vouchers, none of it was especially thrilling, but I'm pretty happy about getting a little something extra for doing what I would have been doing anyway. Still... given that I might get any and all of these items just during a normal day of farming, it is hard to muster up a lot of enthusiasm for an event like this. Even five diamonds I can get in a mystery box. Wouldn't it be great to get a true "knock your socks off" item that you can't get anywhere else: a unique item that comes with XP for those who don't like deco, a bigger lot of diamonds (10 would get my attention!), or a large box of assorted premium items?
I appreciate that the personal goal increments were reasonable. Is this normal for a boat event?
I've been wanting this since day one. I think the reason SC is not doing this is because they don't want players leveling up so fast and getting bored of the game.Quote:

Maybe I need to take a break :rolleyes: Is the update here yet?
Noooooo, you were on a break last month. No more break please. I count on you for my rice.Quote:

WARNING: if you care about being on Last Helper tab of someone you don't know, this is not recommended.
First time it came out, I was like.. "yeah, another event, it won't change my play style much". The second time I thought about it and decided to go fill boats, more active than I used to be. Actually filling boat of those top players is what I spend most of time on. In this event, boat does not need to be your own river boat, it can be your neighbors, a stranger from the DD, someone you stumble upon in boat leader board... ANYONE.
If they need to complete their boat for personal goals, I help them.
If top players want to be on top and open unlimited crates for everyone, I see a chance to dump my bacon, goat milk, wheat, bacon and eggs, corn bread, cookies.... way much faster than waiting for my own boat or neighbor's boat to ask for those (my limited number of neighbors are not likely to ask for help on wheat as far as I know). I did fill various products including wheat, rice, tomato, chili, fish pie, yoghurt smoothie (yay, finally I can use them for xp), cakes, pies..... in less than 1h.
People get boat filled and complete personal goals, I get tons of XP. If we win, everyone get diamonds. You are welcome!
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate these events, it's just that I feel like it's getting a little repetitive. I do boat and truck orders on a nonstop basis (don't even remember the last time I casted a boat away) so it's a nice bonus to get something I'm already doing all the time. But is it really a bonus getting a LEM or SEM if ur done expanding? I understand it's a way nice way for players to get some items they still need (Vouchers, BEMs, etc) from these events, but I'm sure a lot of players are underwhelmed with some of these prizes and skipped doing some of these events altogether.Quote:

Give something for all players to really strive for. Pump some new blood into these mundane events...tweak it a little is all I'm saying. Let's not get complacent with this rinse and repeat mode that we're in...it can be so much better.
PS...I count on YOU for my rice :p
fwiw, I'm participating more now. I don't know if SC listened to our complaints, or if it's just a coincidence, but I'm finally starting to get boats that don't ask for all my sugar and dairy products, and ask for other things instead.
I've got my second sugar boat coming shortly...which will be cast off unfilled.
Sugar is an issue for me as well at the moment, my second sugar boat is on its way, 40 brown sugars last time.....
My final reward was 5 Gold Vouchers!!! Can't complain about that!
Final Talley:
Saws x 2
Wood Panles x 2
Purple Vouchers x 2
Planks x 2
Gold Vouchers x 5
My final reward was 3 mallets, lol
Finally I've reached my personal goals. I've had that many jam boats , I even contemplated going into my blinking freezer , defrosting my blackberries & making my own jam ( hmmm it would certainly have been quicker :p)
x2 TNT
X1 Gold voucher
x2 Mallets
x2 Tapes
x5 Dynamite
I'd like you thank all my neighbours for helping me out on my jam boats . I normally cast off jam boats & use my own jam for helping my neighbours boats . I really do appreciate all your help 💖 .Once I'm stocked up on my preserves it will be business as usual.
Oh & guess what my next boat is ? Yep JAM , CREAM & LEMON CURD 😥😥 ...I don't think so
2 sawsQuote:

Are you freaking kidding me!!?
Even 1 purple voucher would have been better!
With such rewards I'm really not spending any effort anymore to this global events.
Once I reach the global reward, I'll stop.
I can beat that, I got 5 TNT. :mad:Quote:

This event, I got a single purple voucher on goal 2 as the only slightly valuable item, rest was a couple of building items, which I will get more easily from just harvesting crops instead of filling unreasonable boats like sugar or dairy items. What a let-down.
I got dynamite. :p
1. 1 blue voucher
2. 2 nails
3. 2 mallets
4. 2 gold vouchers
5. 5 dynamite
I dunno, there's something that's so disappointing about getting things like saws and dynamite for the final prize. Wish they'd stick to vouchers or diamonds for the final prize at least.
Just a little perspective here. Some of the items some of you are complaining about, I'd give my eye teeth for. I'd love more axes, and dynamite or TNT is lovely. Almost as good as shovels. And the guy who got screws? Well it took me two days to finally score those last ones I needed for my silo. So value is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes I enjoyed the vouchers from the last event, but if you recall we didn't make that goal so enough folks must have figured that they weren't enough to keep making cakes for. Maybe it was the timing or an un realistic goal from our standpoint but maybe from SC's standpoint, they figured that vouchers weren't attractive enough to the folks who don't post on the forum. Let's face it we are a small minority of the overall hayday playing population.
I really don't have any inside information of course but just saying. Some of the things that were given out have value to someone. I am sure some of you would have loved to have received the deeds and mallets, I just chucked into my RSS. About the only way I can see to make the small prizes more valuable is to increase their number. They can always be sold.
Oh and I just checked. Looks like we will make this one. Over a day left and we have less than five million to go.
Yes my partner finished with 5 axes, and it got 5 gold vouchers....seems a tad unfair..and now he's got the grumpies!Quote:

Compare those with yours.
C'mon, be satisfied with what you got. At least you will get some extra diamonds if you mine.
You are lucky that you are getting this free for the usual activity you do daily.
You are getting it for usual activites is the biggest thing whatever it be.
- 1 Blue Voucher
- 1 Gold Voucher
- 2 Gold Vouchers
- 2 Gold Vouchers
I guess I was lucky!
Don't think I'll have enough time for last goal though. (9/12) :(
At least you got 2 gold vouchers on the 4th reward.Quote:

If I put as much effort in the 5th reward as someone else and I get 5 shovels which I can get during normal play (or by trading) and someone else gets 5 gold vouchers which I can't get during normal play, nor by trading then the balance is gone.
And yes, the awards are extra, but with these rewards it's not a reason to do extra effort for the global goal.
Once I reached the global goal, which is normally reward no.1, I can stop participate from now on.
Yes the personal rewards as well as the global reward are a little bit boring. It might have been exciting at first, but I'm afraid that if those kind of rewards continue on with future events, it would all become so monotonous and boring that fewer would bother to participate and strive for the final global goal.Quote:

But I have had plenty of events that I didn't get 1 voucher, I have never gotten 5 gold vouchers as 1 reward.
Everybody has a choice to how they play, but for me I'm not stopping at the global reward goal, because that might just have been the event that I would get 5 gold vouchers. It would bug me for some time not knowing what I passed up, lol.
I think in the end it pretty much evens out as far as who gets what. But then again some might always get more. I know on the big thank you prizes, after playing one game into the high 60's and up to level 52 in this game, all I have gotten on either farm is the pearl, which does not even come from the thank you cards. Not one big thank you prize on either farm, I have not even gotten the frog, so I can't even get the smaller prizes. I've been to farms where they have all of these big prizes and often several of each. It does annoy me, but it's just part of the game.
Personally I don't see what everyone is complaining about. The rewards are all high-demand items and I would be happy to have any. First everyone complains about there being no event and then when there is an event the complaints start about the prizes. Seriously, they are the usual prizes for any event and an easy event of loading your boats, which you would be doing anyways.......
Not me. I generally don't bother with boats. I prefer filling other people's crates. Though I'd probably participate just for the challenge, at this point.Quote:

They are the usual prizes, yes, but I think what's changed is more people have become aware that not everyone gets the same prizes. That's what's driving the griping, IMO. It's like buying a car or a plane ticket...it's finding out someone else got a better bargain that annoys people, not the actual price paid.
If the prizes were the same for everyone, those who didn't want or need them wouldn't strive to finish the event. Then, everyone would complain about not getting the global reward. At least this way it means something when you get that prize you were hoping for. It is complaining for the sake of complaining in my opinion.
No, I don't think so. The vast majority of players don't hang out here and wouldn't know what the prizes would be, even if they were all the same.Quote:

(one event you get the tickets, the next someobe else) When I cimpare my prices with my boyfriends for the half year weve/been playing he's gotten about twice as much golden vouchers in events compared to me and this does seem unfair... (ive gotten a few more blue and green ones than him but we all know golden tickets are way more valuable and difficult to find outside of events.
i just completed all of my event goals and i received one green voucher, 2 wood panels, 2 land deeds, 2 purple vouchers and 5 shovels. Im quite happy with these rewards. I think the all voucher rewards for the last event was a bit boring, whereas getting free vouchers and lem bem materials is much more practical. What one person really needs another may not have any need for. For example A low level player who is focused on upgrading the barn and silo and expanding their farm would have much more use for the expansion materials than the vouchers. personally i would have loved the 5 gold vouchers as a final prize but hey look at all the good stuff that i got for just completing boat orders..something which i would have been doing anyway. Plus we all got 5 diamonds which is like a cherry on top of the cake. Anyone who is complaining needs to stop. I loved this event.
Someone suggested in the past that SC can offer several choices of prize, and you can chose one of them each time when you qualify for a prize. That way it is still randomized for each player, but ppl will be much happier with much higher chance to get what they need. I think that's an awesome idea! :o
Thanks :pQuote:

I would choose planks over gold vouchers in a heartbeat but that's just me :rolleyes:
I like that idea, too.
Even if it was only for the final prize. The last goal is the toughest to reach, and that would give some incentive to go the distance.
I wish the complainers would just get over it. The whining about how it's not exactly the way YOU would do it is like schoolchildren. Annoying. If anyone whining knows how to program, develop your own game, more power to you.
I, for one, am just so so happy that hay day was developed in the first place, and that the developers have regular updates as the gamers grow more experienced. Report bugs, by all means, but frankly, it's pretty darn bug free. And simply beautiful graphics. I'm grateful for the frequent events, and if I don't particularly like one, I'll skip it. Just the same as a boat or truck, no penalty for skipping it.
focus on all the zillions of things that are RIGHT with the game. Thank the developers once in a while instead of CONSTANTLY finding fault.
as Anne Landers used to say... Quit cha ♥♥♥♥♥in'! (Female dog, lol)

There is something about being unhappy that satisfies a need in some people, just as being happy is something others strive for. As soon as we got the double tap diamond confirmation button after over a year complaining about it (and I'll admit, I complained about it a little too) someone wrote, "now I wonder what they will complain about" and not less than five minutes later, someone wanted a third tap for some things.
So while I share your pain, we both will have to just dream here! But as some kid somewhere once said. Hey, it could happen!

If you don't want to see any complaints...why even come into a thread called "On track for another failed event"? That title doesn't suggest that it's going to be a thread full of sunshine and rainbows. :rolleyes:
And even if you were somehow fooled by the title, once people start posting what they got, you know how it's going to end up. Just stay out of the cluckin' thread. Consider a place for grumpy people to vent, and steer clear.
I'm sure SC wants to hear what's wrong, as well as what's right. Since they are doing this for the money, and happy customers means more money.
The fact that we got an all-voucher event suggests that they're listening.
Tigger, there will always be complainers no doubt. Some moan about the tiniest of things, others whine about the valid faults of the game. Whatever the case may be, they are just being passionate about the game and voicing their frustrations. Give them a break. It's part of forum life. If people are content with the status quo then so be it, but there is always room for improvement, IMO.Quote:

Janilee, agreed! Don't forget unicorns and Care Bears :D
Latest poster lured me in.....
Always enjoy reading positive opinion :).
Woohoo!! We made it! Got my diamonds when I opened the game today. So, we were on track.:D
Tigg, I have to laugh at this thread. I remember when I was working in an office environment, I'd ride in an elevator with others, and every now and then one would ask another, "How's it going?" to which the other would reply "Can't complain." "HA!" said I, "I sure can! But I won't." It was always good for a laugh.
I actually only have one or two mild complaints about the game, and when I get frustrated enough I'll take them to the ideas and suggestions board. :)
Oh they do listen that's for sure. And I enjoy a thread with constructive ideas along with the complaints.Quote:

I wonder what happened to make their life so sad that even something as insignificant as a free piece of virtual fluff could make them so unhappy. I just hope that the rest of their life is so good that when an itty bitty game upsets them so much, it's because it is the only negative thing in their life. Hey I can hope right?Quote:
