Team Hay Day Soliciting Feedback about Derby

Thanks LynnK.

Yeah, social media accounts are becoming a plague like excess bank/store points cards used to be, lol. Sigh. People have had lots to say here. Maybe we can gather some thoughts on this thread, if it’s okay, and perhaps the team may see some. ?

I's a pity since contact regarding this matter is only possible via Twitter. It's comprehensible at the part of SC if they want to reach as much players as possible.

We are only a little number of opinions and not every member makes his opinion public. However, I'm interested how our Community Manager (Chris [Supercell] and Ice [Supercell]) think about it, what they recommend.

The same question was posted on Facebook. On the German page are already more than 250 comments. There are more possibilities than Twitter.

On the chance that SC comes here to look for feedback, I noticed that for 1 member opted in novice league for bunny derby, it requires the extra task to catch the 3rd bunny because 2 bunny tasks are required to catch a bunny (instead of 1 bunny task in rookie league).  In the next league up (professional) the extra task is not needed to catch all 3 bunnies or reach all derby thresholds because of 7 available tasks.  Just seems a little odd since I assumed novice league would be more relaxed/casual than a higher league, so not sure if this was an oversight or actually intended by SC.

Reason I bring this up is just observation from playing on/off since 2014.  When I first started, I remember for small hoods (1 or 2 members opted in derby), it was not possible to reach all derby thresholds even doing all 320 pt tasks including the extra task, which didn't make any sense    But I took it as SC encouraging players to be part of larger hoods.  Several years ago when I started up again, I noticed the derby thresholds had been tweaked for smaller hoods so reaching the last threshold(s) was/were finally possible in all leagues (but extra task required in highest 2 leagues, which made sense) so thanks for tweaking the derby thresholds back whenever that was done.

Bunny derby is the newest derby type so whether or not SC intended 1-member novice league derbiers to complete 2 bunny tasks instead of 1 to catch a bunny and do the extra task to catch the last bunny, I dunno.  I'm just happy to have opportunity to unlock some extra rewards and not have it be a "task-trashing" derby like it is for bingo derbies! 

*Edit: Wanted to add it would be nice to be able to keep the boosters we get from derby horseshoe rewards like the ones we get from the Valley instead of having them count against our booster storage

I do all the derbies… mostly for the permits. Most of the time, I find the reward prizes unappealing. The rewards for finishing top 3 is a joke. (Ex: axes, saws, stakes, mallets, etc.) As mentioned, we can get the equivalent by « wheating ». In sports competition, usually the top 3 get medals, trophies, etc for their accomplishment. I think teams that finish top 3, should get something « special ». Here’s a few suggestions: permits, puzzle pieces, fences, paths, past decorations that came with the 130 diamond packages. Maybe have the option of choosing 3 items among 9 rewards (a bit like the other rewards at different thresholds.

Bingo derby, make it possible to get all tasks (320 pts) on bingo card. Sometimes I have to wait until Sunday evening to pick the task and it’s not even 320 pts.
