Hi Supercell
It’s starting to look like the goal for the current event will not be reached and no one will get the Valentine’s deco.
There are lots of players out there that are really trying hard to get it.
Saying that their hearts are going to be broken is an understatement. Way to go……
I hope that I’m wrong and the deco shows up. If it does, Valentines Day will be saved!

I wonder how Hay Day calculates these goals Good question. Well I haven't got a clue, but I suspect they don't take into consideration that many high level farms have baby farms. I only have one farm, but I would guess that those with baby farms aren't really interested in decorations and reaching global goals on these farms. After all the purpose of these farms are different than on main farms, it is there only to support a main farm. I have a feeling that this is one of the reasons for SCs problems calculating an achievable global goal. It's my theory anyway. |

We missed the goal. Earlier I thought we'd manage but I forgot only watering counted. No boat help, town or the board. That's really disappointing SC, as I'm sure many players were eager to get this special deco.  Today I got my x - reindeer. I don't want it....  |

donkeyfan, I think the fact that ONLY watering counted towards the goal greatly affected the outcome. It’s sad that the goal was missed. I know everyone worked hard to get there. 😔

Perhaps the reward will be offered elsewhere (you never know!). Bets on it being in the paid FarmPass or offered for diamonds. Yeah I’m not a happy camper. There are only so many plants and trees and they are on long cycles on farms with limited land space. 120 million was a huge total. |

There are only so many plants and trees and they are on long cycles on farms with limited land space. 120 million was a huge total. Also a possibility, yes. Very likely. Putting only bushes and trees into account was a very tough task. As already mentioned, the most requests referred to town, board and boat. Additional bushes and trees take a long cycle. BostonGirl hits the nail on the head. Good question. Well I haven't got a clue, but I suspect they don't take into consideration that many high level farms have baby farms.

Usually my contribution for those tasks is limited for my mainfarm. Not this time. I participated with all farms. Really disappointing.... |

Yeah, the “only watering” was different, wasn’t it. Would have been fine if we could find them.
After finding a few on the first day or two, I didn’t see any more aside from the big three helps (boat, truck, town).
When I advertised or flagged anything I tried to put one or two watering tasks out for others, but If others in the DD were doing so, I didn’t see them.
I didn’t particularly fuss about the masks, but it’s always disappointing to try for a global goal and not make it. Especially for those who really spent a lot of time and effort on it. When people instantly seemed to love the Venetian theme (I purchased way more than I ever do), and with this deco being so perfect for it, to miss it was extra disappointing.
In any case, I hope those who celebrate Valentines Day in any way, have some real life fun today. 💗💕💗

I know everyone worked hard to get there. 😔 How many helps did we have to do individually? I managed 64 and worked for hours on it. I didn't even get a notice on the board as to how the event came out. I'm angry and could cry. What was HD thinking on this event? |

I just think it is something SC should factor in when they calculate the goals. It does annoy me that the missing of goals has happened quite often in recent years and I wish SC would take a long and hard look at their calculations. They are obviously off. It must be annoying for them too when we miss the goal. |

I don’t recall exactly, but I glanced at it before bed when I finally got 40, and thought it said 74 or 75. ? |

The goal was easier to reach on my main farm. But I worked hard to get my baby farms to reach the global goal.
On the way to it, I helped a lot of farms with other help tasks. Well, maybe next time.
Happy Valentines Day 💝

I think it was 40 for gl9bal and 75 to the end. I am lucky (?) enough bpto be ale to get ok on many times day... and searched and searched for as many as I could find. I think my grand total was something like 125ish.
Our hood saved and flagged for each other, but as luck would have it, it was Saw and chop down many. We all flagged for others too... just wasn't enough. 😢
I am hoping that since it looks more like a mardi Gras deco... it will pop up on farm pass or maybe s9me place else. Hopefully this week's truck event won't be a repeat.

The frustrating from the players is great. I read this not only here on JHD but also in the German HayDay forum and on Twitter. Although it's not the first time that we failed it's this time different. One the one hand many players didn't realize that only watering from trees and bushes was counted. I think this was due to the fact that global helper events normally includes every help and not only watering. Due to this many farmers took the chance and flagged mostly boat, town and board for truck requests. Having said that it was not only very difficult to find a farm in the DD which wanted to be watered, no, over time this "behaviour" became more and more tedious and frustrating. Not to mention wasted time and energy. For what? For nothing, finally. As for me I never will participate again with any of my babies for that purpose. Only with my mainfarm, if at all. All in all I really hope that this nice deco will be offered elsewhere, as Tahoe 🐾 already stated. |

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Why didn't we reach the global goal?
I have no clue.
But Team Hay Day must take some boos.

So disappointing! and yeah, I agree with everyone, I think the fact that it was only reviving trees and bushes greatly reduced our chances of making it. I too wonder how they come up with the total number/goal that we have to reach. It often seems very high! 👎🏻

This reminds me of the “Christmas Bell Global Event”, 2014‼️😱😬 When we didn’t win, people were all over the forum talking about spending diamonds to win. To say the least, they weren’t as kind as today. People sent SC messages through the game, me included. Some quite the game. Nick was the guy everybody turned to in times like these. Here is a shout to GOOD OLD NICK for being our sounding board. The next Christmas the bell was in the gift shop to buy…to say the least, I bought my fair share. For a 10 year player, I love to decorate. I guess we will have to wait a year to get the MASKED PIG 🐷🎭

We were set up to fail. And by the way, who is to say there is actual accuracy on that counter board? It all may be pre-determined. It's just a random animation.

Maybe they could swap out the masked pig in this weeks truck event. Most of us have the pig from last year.
Just a thought….

Despite my best efforts I only managed 67. Desperately tried to gain the last 8 to reach the final 75 threshold and add to the total, but there was simply nothing left to water! Very disappointing.

Swapping out the Feather Pig deco for the Masked Pig deco makes the most sense to me. Most of us already have the
Feather Pig already so aren’t going to work hard or even at all for a deco they already have.
I really wanted the Masked Pig deco so badly! It’s so cute and brilliant with the costume masks!
It’s sad that the artist who took the time to create such a
cute and unique deco won’t see their creation on any farms except for Greg’s temporarily.
Maybe they could at least offer
it during this event so we can use it this year.
I know I would pay diamonds for it or would pay for it as a diamond package with real money!
This was a deco I was making room for to leave up all year.

I'm not interested in the Feather Pig. But that's a personal thing. Additional I don't like truck orders. Currently I'm not in the mood for any events. I only do the absolut necessary. Even my animals aren't awake.
I think that's a phase. Sooner or later I play again, but not now. I take a break. Sometimes it's a good thing doing so if you're annoyed.

well, I am a bit disappointed, but then again, I am spoiled by all the new decorations and when there is a repeat I am pouting... So I can take a break for a bit, I have all puzzle pieces and permits and no need for a second feather pig. But I wish all farmers wanting this decoration the best of luck reaching the global goal. My guess is, the Venetian cart will be offered again in one year, and then everyone will be working hard to get it  It's a not so subtle reminder by SC not to slack off |

I don't care about the truck event because I already have the feather pig deco from last year too, but today I did truck orders all the way to the end because I had an XP booster going, I got gasoline/suns for every truck order, the gifts along the way were good, 5 bolts at the third step, 6 diamonds on the forth step, and a permit on the final fifth step. So I'm happy with all I got, and I don't care if the global deco is earned because I'll just keep it in storage probably anyway!

Dibzie This is an approach I fully understand. In a similar situation I'd have done the same. Sometimes it's necessary to deal with things you actually don't like if it serves a special purpose.  I'm still taking a break from farm tasks. Only doing the absolut necessary. On one hand I know that's not very consequent. If at all I should skip my farm completely for some time. But on the other hand I can't do that. It's too sad if everything comes to rest.
