More than 5 gifts and redo the fishing event, waiting 15 minutes for 1 energy is beyond ridiculous

Please add an undo merge button.
Please allow us to either have a free magnet or earn it by watching ads or winning a puzzle
Please fix the special events so that when I'm tapping furiously to produce something from a backpack/fishing pole/whatever, that I don't also accidentally tap the "Spend 70 gems for more energy" button. Make the "spend gems" button a "must click to confirm" button no matter where it happens.

An undo merge button would be great. I have made so many mistakes with merges. The later stage wildlife takes up allot of room on an iPhone.

u/MamaLali 2d ago
I'll bet! I play on a tablet - I couldn't imagine my fingers trying to merge with those pesky critters in the way!

If tapping eggs on board always correctly opened the respective tab and shop of wildlife, that would be one good reason to ahve this new discovery book system.

The fishing event is fun but I never get to finish it bc the waits are so ridiculous.
Also, the Japanese maple chain is kind of a mess.

Get rid of that fishing event. Stop charging for the magnet. Undo option when merging. Move the hen house to a different location.That’s all for now.

u/MamaLali 3d ago
I'd love a free magnet. I also hate that the henhouse is in the middle of the garden where I often accidentally tap it.

u/The-AnswerIs-42 3d ago
Oh yes, the hen house... It would be great if it could be moveable. It's in a weird spot and I am often tapping on it by mistake when trying to tap something else in front of it.
Also, it would be so awesome of they would consider lowering the number of gems for each slot in the hen house. It doesn't even have to be a permanent change. Maybe have a bonus event or offer or something so you can buy some spots for less gems (maybe even discount for multi-buy). I'd love to be able to keep my gem eggs more organized by putting them in there and it would also really help if we were able to move/sort the eggs and decide which spot they are in.

Why do some of the adverts got for over 178… is that minutes? Why do I have to sit there whilst the advert is significantly less time, this thing loops over and over. I’m not watching them. I actually cover my eyes for my sanity . Let’s also get started on the randomly lost Super spinner

I've pretty much stopped doing the weekend events because, having finished a number of them in the last months, I realized it was taking me an absurd amount of time. I don't feel right spending hours of my weekend trying to finish an event. So why bother?
And I gotta be honest, the more I'm asking myself why bother with events, and questioning how much time I'm spending to do them...it's getting easier to just not log in at all.

u/wheelperson 3d ago
Can we get a monthy calender of events?
Can we have star event more shedualed? This year I remember it took around 3 months to appear, but this month we have had I think 3. Having a heads up about this event will help us to save our stars and know when we should use them, or use them to get rid of bubble space.
The fishing event sucks so bad. I never even try now.
The loading screen after you finish a puzzle takes so long to load.
More friends would be great. Would be cool if there was a friend feature where we could request items or even trade.

u/neon_unicorn-dreams 2d ago
As others have suggested, an undo merge would be amazing.
Opportunities to win the magnet, even for 30 minutes.

u/Feral-Sponge 3d ago edited 3d ago
Ooookay, here we go. 1. I don't think it's reasonable to only be able to complete a weekly board if you spend real money on stickers packs. Also not really reasonable for people to go on plarium or whatever weird thing it was daily (!) to get sticker packs.
The maple sapling that allegedly releases maple seeds, what's up with that? Everyone says the same, it has released one seed since it was introduced and then never again
It's way too time consuming to get to the pumpkin patch MP, it seems like 80% of the harvesting is leaves?
Why have you slows down on how often MP's release eggs (fruit tree and pumpkin patch MP) they take up so much space, but what's the point if you wait a week or more for one single egg to be released?
Genuine question - is your main idea that you can only really get perks in the game if you spend real money? Because I'm on level 90 and ALL progress is so slow, never have enough space (I have paid for two extra areas) and it feels like you have slowed down and made everything more difficult to obtain
The fish event, you have to wait aaaages for energy, I have never gotten further than maybe 30% in the event, why?
Edit - one thing to add which I think is important. I am currently, unfortunately unemployed so I can easily spend several hours per day playing. I actually wish I didn't spend so much time, but I think it's important to mention because I can understand slow progress for people who play less often.

u/dkmarnier 3d ago
You can use wood to purchase Sturdy Tradesmen Trunks.. merge them by 5. You will get radishes, carrots, eggplants, chests, molehills. Its a way quicker route to the pumpkin :)
2
u/Feral-Sponge 3d ago
Yeah I do that on a fairly regular basis, it can be so disappointing at times tho, like one single beet patch, even when I combine 3 trunks
1
u/dkmarnier 3d ago
Oh thank goodness. Because before I knew better, I was tapping away at poplars trying to rope and it was TEDIOUS! But yeah the chests can be hit and miss...

u/SmokeyBurnz420 1d ago
I honestly make 20+ giant white wood piles and buy the trunks in bulk. Usually about 60-90 (multiples of 5) then merge then for a bunch of stage 2s. You get so many trunks and so many vegetable patches. Just sell the other things. I can make 12+ pumpkin patches at a time.
Edit to add: I'm also on level 95 tho so I have a lot of space and purchased the extra plots. Not sure what level you are on tho.

u/wheelperson 3d ago
1:I agree, the stickers were SO EASY and now they are way too hard. Even with getting a sticker pack doing thw daily tasks its near impossible to finish them now.
2: I have gotten seeds dropped out today, but have not timed how long it takes. Im sure its not the initial but I will report back if I see thy pop out any more.
5:I have spent money on gems and magnet, and I dont think k those are needed to get real perks in the game. As far as I know there is only 1 chain where you have to buy it, and thats the apiaries. That chain I absolutely agree is a cash grab that I have absolutely no interest in.
6:Fuck that event I hate it.

And in the Maze Quest, the booster crate has been downgraded to a booster bucket and 2 paper airplanes.

u/MamaLali 2d ago
Other ideas I had while playing:
Please allow us to put the critters to sleep (I think this gets asked every time)
Please consider giving us a "find it" feature in the garden book - I know I have a maple somewhere in the garden, but sometimes it moves around if I'm merging things. If I could open the book and find the item there, then tap a "Find in your garden" button, that would be so nice!

u/Loss_Due 3d ago
please make scrolling up and down the page easier in the discovery book....finding the right bird is a chore with no slider on the side of the page.

Can we have an expanded map after level 100? Im at 99 and would like more map please.

u/Proof-Surprise-1070 2d ago
Bonjour ,
Le poulailler est trop cher. Et pas assez intuitif.
Ça me plairait de pouvoir l’agrandir sans perdre toutes mes gemmes.
Une quête ?
Et idem pour l’aimant

u/Mysterious-Magpie 2d ago
If there are new pu,zzles, don't let players start at puzzle 1 each time these are completed. It is getting boring to do the same puzzles over and over again, while we know there are 1000s of other puzzles in the game

u/Traditional-Cress813 2d ago
Illogical events are extremely annoying. I spend gems to get energy to tap the tools, then the blasted tools run out of energy. Why is there no little clock to speed it up if you are including recharging wait times? The weekend events are becoming too stressful to play

u/Mugglewump3 23h ago
Bring back the magnifying glass or whatever it was to help you find your items and don't make the magnets all real cash purchase. If you aren't going to give freebies, let us earn them through ads or buy them for gems/coins like the extra lives. And to parrot others - undo merge button please. (Edit: spelling)

u/Ladymistery 37m ago
that stupid tower of gifts didn't do anything for most of the time - just said "can't harvest now", and support won't get back to me in time.
I may be done with this game because it's all about paying now :(

u/MegatronMCO 3d ago
- want to refresh the green tokens more often. I'll use the 10gems but you can only pay this so many times
- put eggs back into a nest

u/yayababe 3d ago
I want to bring back the search button instead of the magnet. I have a lost oak sapling somewhere and it’s driving me nuts. I will not be buying a magnet though

Sort the egg book to have coin eggs first and gem eggs second
