This one small change would have saved the Easter event
Hear, hear well said.
Numbers are just way to high in this event even for a twice a day player like myself.

Declining returns on visits is a major offender. 100 friends yielding 15 eggs each when visited would have been 1500 eggs per day, which would mean 3 boxes minimum per day. A guarantee number of 81 divided by three boxes per day is 27 days, or very approximately the length of the event. So everyone could have been guaranteed at least their common color prizes by the end.
On top of that, raise the odds on baskets just a little, with the important factor that only uncommon baskets should drop, and only common baskets would show up as trappable in neighbor's towns so no one is losing their precious uncommon eggs. One or two uncommon baskets dropping per day, plus easier trading, then uncommon prizes could also be virtually guaranteed by the end of the event if you play daily.
Finally, since the Faberg? egg wasn't available until the quest line was done, it should have been a gold egg generator. Say one spin a day once you find it or buy it. Not enough to reach the 81 boxes, but enough to give everyone a reasonable shot at a couple more desirable prizes. And instead of filling prize slots with common color eggs or baskets, replace them with gold eggs or remove them entirely.
It's far too late, now, but this could have been a fun event designed to last exactly one month and give everyone their effort's worth.
Well, EA. You keep your donuts, I'll keep my cash.
I don't know how much time and thought they put into this holiday, but it seems they didn't care and have FORCED people to spend money and buy donuts so they can get the items that some people were just "
lucky" enough to stumble upon.
This person gets it. I wish you were in a position of influence at EA.
There is still going to be people that don't want to wait and will spend donuts to get instant gratification, so it isn't necessary to set the odds so slim for a chance to complete the event as a freemium player.
Numbers are high even for a four to five times a day player.
And the numbers were still far too high for me. I'm a completionist too so I ended up spending donuts since the gold eggs became available to buy.
The odds and numbers should have been more level with each other, and it would have been a lovely, stress free event. IMO anyway.
Not a good strategy in the long term EA.
Yeah i don't understand the deal about this whole chance thing... why can't we have events like before where we'd get items if we worked hard. stressing players probably won't get them anywhere. I noticed a lot of the people on my friend's list who used to play enthusiastically and have really nice towns haven't checked the game for weeks now. I used to play my game religiously to get items on events. but now i'm missing quite a few items and i don't even care.
This might be what they are thinking of doing, but i doubt they will bring these characters and building back out for a while tho, they might even wait till next year to do the re-release
I also think that they only needed to adjust the figures slightly. We'd have all had more chances if it cost 400 eggs to open a box instead of 500 for example, or the minimum boxes were 80 - 100 across all colours, not each colour or 50-60 per colour. Even shifting the odds of the rare stuff by .05% would have helped.
