This is beyond a JOKE

EA's really giving all the players the ol'e 1-finger salute with this event.

some of the prizes i win make me want to throw my phone out the window

exchanged 1000 blue eggs to get 500 pink eggs...opened a pink box and won 300 gold eggs, ok cool enough for another gold box...opened a gold box and won 250 pink eggs

errr :? :? :?
well that was a big waste of time

i think i'm going to forget about the gold box all together and stop visiting neighbours

What the hell?! I have always said I would stick with this game because I have played it since the start of its existence!!

I have been on everyday- 2/3 times a day to collect eggs and all I get is crappy fences. Screw this, I have had enough of wasting my time trying to get the buildings and characters when I only get stupid fences. It is unbelievably frustrating!!!

Thanks a million EA.

I'm pretty sure you should have. Gotten something good by now if you are playing everyday?

its all random I play every day and the only good thing I got is the banana dictatorship. While my friend who also plays every day got the blocko store, the banana dictatorship, johnny fiestas, the two lizards from the pink box, and the flying bunny. I have opened at least 30 blue boxes with no good prizes so I think i'm overdue for Johnny fiestas...

I got that bunny ref guy today. Kind of fiending after Banana Dictatorship though.

What I don't understand is why the fences or gate from the gold box don't have a multiplier

agree - this event is bad - opposite of good bad

:shock:

I am of the opinion that the easter fences are a slap in the face. Tiring...like anyone that plays cares about the 15 donuts.

I agree, and I'm pretty sure the developers agree too, cuz they call it "sucking out"

They better take all this feedback and do something about this new but not so new system of screwing players over. Complaints are only a step or two before loosing costumers. This isn't rocket science, and if EA makes it out to be then they really need to reevaluate their purpose in the gaming industry. Leave the money grubbing to the financing world, and give back games to gamers.

My goal became to get at least one character and one building by the end of the event and if i get more that's a bonus

got banana dictatorship this morning so now all i need is a character.

I will continue to try until the end and hope for the best but this event is kinda upsetting as i have completed every other event 100% without spending a single donut and this will be the first event i don't complete.

THAT is what is different about this event. It used to be that a few people had that experience, they'd get frustrated, and everyone felt bad but we all figured it was inevitable that some people have bad luck. This event differs in three ways

1. The "bad luck" in a previous event was in relation to a small element of the event ... a wheel, etc. There were other prizes that were within our control. The wheels made us crazy, but at least EVERYBODY had something significant to show at the end of the event. (Personal prizes, community prizes, etc.)

2. There are so many (!!!!) people this time that are having overall negative experiences.

3. We don't find out things that are damaging until after its too late. (e.g., that baskets are one-time, that baskets stop falling after we complete the quest, that not clearing out a town before harvesting carrots prevents carrot-bunnies from appearing.) I can't even imagine how someone not on the forums can know what's going on.

When an entire event is chance-based, it sucks. When an entire event is chance-based AND glitch-ridden, it sucks. When an entire event is chance-based, glitch-ridden AND has details written in the code that make it impossible to play "smart" to maximize our chances, it REALLY sucks.

Boom, Annette hits the nail on the head as usual.

I've actually had some decent luck, but I'm still growing bitter and angry about this event. I've always had something to show for all my tapping every day. But now it's about... one in four days I'm getting something worthwhile? And then I look around and see that I'm lucky to have that sort of success rate, and it just irks me off. And then the game dialogue points out how terrible it is, and I want to throw something. Something like eggs. I am so sick of eggs.
