@ all You all made up your point of view, very interesting.   Frog THX for the heads up so far. The update isn't far, so I hope everything goes well, without any mess. I also read it will last for 3 hours, but this isn't something to rely on. Only a hint, not more, not less. If the update is done with less time, all the better. But it can't hurt to know an estimated time. As for me I decided not to bother anymore with the update, same applies for the upcoming updates. It's not easy, but from the past we know the scheme, nothing unexpected will happen. Let's take it from the bright side...  You usually know, what is gonna happen, so it's easy to come to terms with it. Another important thing in my opinion would be that SC still gives thoughts to HayDay, they obviously plan to let it live for a longer time. That's great. Keep in mind that HayDay is a very !!!!! old game. Many games in this age are already gone. SC keeps HayDay alive, and this cannot be enough appreciated. You have not to like everything they do, and sometimes it's a little bit disappointing, maybe annoying in some cases. But main thing is, HayDay stays! The best thing to deal with these "predictable" circumstances every update would be only doing those things you like. Choose your actions, and take a break if necessary. In the end HayDay has something very special, which I still love. The details of every machine, of every animal, and so on. It's so cute to watch the animals. Regarding the Easter Event....I have already decided to skip it. I'm not in the mood for serving boats, not to mention the effort for the new temporary machine. The last event has definitely taken it out from me. I know that I'll miss some deco, some permits. Whatever... It's ok for me. For me it's more important to keep enjoying the game. Although I stepped back a little bit, I'm good with it. Finally:As some of you mentioned this already, it's a great pleasure as well to be part in JHD. Thank you for that.  |

It’s interesting reading everyone’s thoughts on the update.
I agree that it’s more of the same, and that makes it a bit repetitive. Hay day probably will have to introduce a new aspect to the game at some point- agree the town has lots of potential. Cross fingers that’s next update since they asked for feedback.
However, I am pleased with the new land. I love the deco trees, but disappointed we can’t buy them for vouchers or something, it will take ages to get them even as someone who has opened all my land up till now, and then we only get one- I’d like a whole row of them, not just one !! I do actually like the waffle machine. Also even though I absolutely didn’t want any more sanctuary animals the meerkats are extremely cute ❤️. New derby prizes are always good, there’s one which I really really want- a horse workshop ? Not sure what it’s called. I still don’t have one of the previous derby decos though despite re spinning every week, the hobby horse one. I’m not sure about the new look, I was hoping for a bit more of a change I think.
So now let’s cross fingers that it goes relatively smoothly !

donkeyfan, I didn’t think you were lecturing – just stating your opinion, which I agree with.

LuvHayDay ❤️ The thought of "lecturing" occured to me because I myself am sometimes in the the mood to complain about things in Hayday I dislike. Thank you for understanding me correctly. 🙂

The Easter event shouldn’t surprise after thr Christmas one. |

I was hoping for more UI changes in this update. Cosmetic changes are nice but they don't change any functions. I would still love to have a simple button to fast scroll to the bottom of the barn items when in the roadside shop. I did see one UI change that will be helpful, when you look at a machine to see how many you have of an item instead of pressing and holding the item all the while being careful NOT to accidentally start it's production in the machine, now we can just tap the item and it will show for about 5 seconds so you can see how many you have without accidentally starting it's production. I am not thrilled about getting yet another expensive waffle machine and more trees, not to mention 31 new pieces of land that I will never be able to open. More sanctuary animals?! Like others have said, that is not an update to the town. The Easter egg making machine, I will put it on my farm cuz it's a cute Easter deco, but I'm not going to participate in the event of making eggs that use lots of resources and require doing boats to get rewards, I don't enjoy boats!! lol So in conclusion, sadly, I'm not looking forward to this update. That's the end of my cranky rant!  |

I stopped playing altogether due to fatigue from the Christmas event, so certainly wont be participating in Easter one. New machines are way to expensive, dont need new trees, have no room for them. Current land takes to many scrolls that are to hard to get, so cannot get excited about the need to search for more. New sanctuary animals, excited not!!! Where is the town update, that I would get excited about. Was considering returning with this new update, but seriously not sure I can be bothered, so lack lustre 🤦♀️

The Easter things look super cute, and I love meerkats. They’re also super cute! It’ll take me a long time to get them, but so it goes. It’s almost Easter, so hopefully the update is soon, given we had a month of Christmas gift boats. I wonder how they’ll do the Easter Egg machine. I love the meerkat too... did anyone else watch Meerkat Manor? I think it was on Animal Planet chanel... or maybeD8scovery.... either way it was good! Lol. I would like to see our sanctuary meerkat pop up in the town or on the farm once in a while! Maybe tap it to get a bonus something... Lol I think I read the boat event for Easter is the 3rd to 17th. 😀 Oh yes! I remember Meerkat Manor. Loved to watch that. They’re so cute 🥰 |

Get 2 seconds off production time by watching an ad? Is SC serious?

I'm okay with the new UI, looks good even though I liked the previous one better. But that huge menu appearing when you're trying to put stuff into production is absolutely frustrating. It is waaay too big and also overlaps other products so you have to press another time to remove it. Oh, and those arrows next to the ingredients are annoying. I don't need the game to redirect me anywhere, I know where my lobsters and fruit trees are. Hope I'll get used to it someday...

Get 2 seconds off production time by watching an ad? Is SC serious? According to R3dknight's video, it's supposed to be a 50% reduction in time. Although I haven't sped up the waffle machine, I don't see this ad option on any of my machines. |

UPD: Another ad appeared after relogging into the game, so it's all okay so far. My concerns were ahead of time.
Oh and it seems that now we're getting only one movie ticket per day instead of 4. I see there's a new daily reward in the diamond shop, but there's only one for free and one for an ad, which is still less than 4. I'm kinda disappointed since I loved watching the videos to get decorations, and now the chances happen to be lower. Hope the daily rewards will include decor as well, but I doubt that.

I would probably have found it useful back at the start. Now at level 200 I like to think, I know my way around my farm. It would be great, if there was a switch off option, so "old" farmers could avoid it. I like the new graphic partially. The look when visiting other farms is very pleasing, however I find the overall 3D/shadow effect to be a bit too noisy for my liking. In a couple of weeks I have most likely gotten used to it. Anyway I appreciate SC trying to give the game a graphic overhaul. Not that there were anything wrong with the old one, but a new look can be very refreshing. |

Looking at all the new changes! I hear you on the land expansions, increasing barn and silo items takes away from farming when refocusing on expanding This is a task that takes over our needs What I don't understand, why when we play for land extension items, it never includes scrolls? Anyone know why they hold back on these? well time to get farming if I want that super cute waffle maker |

Players: We want winter trees we can have all year round for winter corners
SC: heres 3 blue spruce that you'll need to spend a lot of expansion items to gain
Players: 😐
😆😂
Seriously though, I Really hope there are more Blue Spruce going to be on offer in different ways!!

Does the new "watch to speed up production watch an ad button" work for anyone? The button doesn't appear on my of my farms. I have tried jam, juice, and syrup so far.

Well, it wouldn't be a SC update without several maintenance breaks to fix stuff. Sometimes I look more forward to the diamonds that we will get then, than the actual update, if the update is just new machine, new products, new fruit tree and new crops... 😂 As Marilyn Monroe said diamonds are a girl's best friend. 💎 |

I did not accept the data sharing terms so was never offered the prompt to watch an ad to speed production times. Just as well.
Overall the update is pretty cute. Wish they would do something to let us organize our own deco though … and of course something with the town.
Major UI screwups with the extra clicks needed to load new products (having to unclick the one you’re looking at is a major gaffe), and with switch farms via scid … 4 clicks to switch farms is very bad.
Other that that the update looks good.

Easter machine event i will skip since i don't like any f the possible reward decorations. New derby decorations? I never ever saw the new decorations from the previous update, so I doubt i will see those new ones. The new buttons are to attract kids? Big bubbly, shiny? Meh! Pelicans on the farm? Worse than toucans. I can understand toucans and parrots for an aviary, but not pelicans! Nope! What is next, a condor? I'm thinking i will be able to squeeze the mercats into a corner of my zoo but that's going to be it for zoo animals if no more land will be made available.
But overall i am happy i have my hay day farm 🥰
