Oh, and we’ve had no 400 fishing tasks. On top of that, we aren’t getting boosters for completing boats.

I’m frustrated that the winning, or not, of a special bit of deco, is down to a lot of luck. I’m fine with organisation & planning etc, it being difficult, even to some extent the luck of your starting place when you take your first task, BUT total luck over getting enough tasks to win is rubbish.
Very sad to be losing our much loved forum ~ and many friends

What is this "special beach decoration" anyway? SC, if you want people to spend diamonds to get a 10th task, you have to be more specific. I was more than happy to spend diamonds for a chance to get those 3 trees a few months ago, but this week I don't even know what I'm going to get! If it's another sand path, then no thanks!
My guess: It‘s the windsurfer sign (seen on Greg‘s farm)
It really does get worse. Last derby I got a basket task that required many multiples of 2 products from the same machine...the barbecue spit. If that isn’t a recipe for a diamond spend I don’t know what is. I deleted it...without compunction.
In related news: I honestly cannot tell you the last month I received a 320 mining task. I believe I got a 400 once this year (maybe late last year?) but am convinced that that was because the 400s generate for any task. It definitely wasn’t the equivalent of the 320 as I only had to mine 86 ores, IIRC. Forget 320 corn and wheat which were always the rarest of rare tasks on my farm.
Frankly, I’m just weary of playing every week - even though I have derby burnout - just to stay in CL. I was hanging out waiting for a Bingo Derby to continue to the completion of the Achievement but it’s just not worth it any more at this time. HD is supposed to be fun right? Right. So I’ve decided that after this week, no derby until I miss it again. I might just go-slow on HD overall but we’ll see.

I definitely had derby burn out, Bostongirl, and giving it up has been absolutely great. I haven’t missed it at all. We did one in our little hood in rookie league recently just for fun, but it didn’t tempt me to go back to the weekly slog. Reading all the unhappy and frustrated posts about the themed derbies just makes me more certain it’s not something I’d like to go back to again on a regular basis. I still remember last year’s harvest derby! I’m enjoying the game much more now and the freedom to play it without spending diamonds to call boats and do a 10th task, and having my machines tied up for days stacking for tasks which often never appeared. I just realised that the effort required to get some nails and panels and a virtual trophy simply weren’t worth it for me.
Here lately we seem to be getting the same tasks over and over again. I have made over 100 ice creams so far with this so called theme derby. There is no variety anymore of 320 or 400 pt. tasks, just the same ones over and over again. And everyone else must be getting the same ones over and over because that is all I see in RSS is the same products I'm trying to sell. We really only see 2 or 3 tasks that pop up having to do with the themed derby's. Really getting frustrating and not much fun doing derby's anymore. I can understand so many people opting out. Hayday you need to step it up and make the game fun and more interesting.
Strawberry
we have 90% strawberry tasks
and the rest: strawberry and coat milk!
we don't have (enough) 400 point tasks
this derby is a pain!
it is boring!
There is no trace of variety. The same was at the fishing derby.
those themed derby's are killing the game, point.
too much the same kind of boring and long lasting tasks over and over again.
went in many hoods, all slowly dying because of those themed derby's from hell.
SUPERCELL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, don't you see this once beautifull game is slowly dying !!!

I was lucky and got one 400 pt fishing task, but other than that, only Vegan, Warm and Picnic. I’m a hood of one, so can usually get production tasks going while I feed animals, do a town task, etc., but this is just impossible as those basket tasks need some of the same machines. Oh, I did get another individual task (either vanilla ice cream or apple juice, can’t remember ), but I trashed it as both those machines have been going constantly since the derby started.
I did this derby only to get my 40th trophy, so I’ll let my old brown mare rest now until something changes.
