3 days to get the 120 000 000 needed for 10 diamonds reward. All helps count this time.
no special threshold rewards for me so far. Global threshold is at 25 helps.

Update:
I consider the current help event sort of laborious. It's difficult to find a farm in DD with a reasonable help request. If I find a farm and help it's buggy. Either the help isn't taken or already settled although the exclamation mark still exists. A little bit annoying. For this reason it takes time until the threshold is reached.
As for me I'm done. After the last experience with a helper event and failure (masked pig) I'm not in the mood to proceed. I also only participate with my mainfarm. Although my babyfarms could use some diamonds I skip. It's not worth the effort, and the rewards between the thresholds neither.
My mainfarm got 1 plank, 3 shovels and 3 land deeds. 😕😵💫😴

I am done, 75 helps within short time. Thanks to the persons who flagged a lot of trees. I left some for others to water.
I guess, it will be more difficult for the baby farms, but, there’s enough time after all. 3 days. I guess, on a normal day many of us do more than 25 helps.
I just love to watch those little pink hearts.

I love the pink hearts, too. I keep waiting for a 320 derby help task, though. This derby is being stupid, but that’s for a different thread, lol.

Yes! I like the pink hearts also 💓 Going through the paper, not many farms asking for help. But, getting there little by little with friends needing help. I have been picking my fruit so others can gain points  Thanks for the update on the stats and prize 💎 much appreciated. .....still gushing and enjoying the new display on the machines. Ups the game immensely!! Playing a lot more with all this info. Play everyday, but now I produce more constantly. Thank you again SC - awesome update 😊 |

This time we had event were all helps counted, so not only bushes and trees. Either SC brings the global goal down (I thought it was doable) or the reward should be higher. 😉🫢 |

I understood that it mostly hampers the android Hayday players with regard to the crashes. My point is that we did over 2 000 000 helps per hour, so we could be done within 60hrs of the 72hrs that the event lasted. The update was for the help event started, so yes it could be a reason , but I don’t believe that the crashes are the main reason. I strongly believe it’s the lousy reward that we can get. The target wasn’t that hard to be honest. |

I'd normally have done it easily (regardless of the reward), but just trying to make the game accessible is a huge chore at the moment. |

I have hundreds of trees and bushes on my main farm and I had prepped many of them, plus those on two of my baby farms, for the event. Then I saw the prize and I didn’t flag them. It was not worth all the saws (to cut) and the coins (to replace) the expended trees and bushes. I didn’t actively look for helps although I did my usual DD helps while shopping. I’ll wait for another event. EDIT: That said, I was still surprised to see that the goal hadn’t been reached. |

I agree with you all. I also think the "reward" wasn't a must-have, so no reason to put more effort as necessary in that, if at all.
Secondly I think something has changed recently, starting with the failure of the event with the masked pig. Many (!) players were annoyed due to the limited conditions for help. No wonder it didn't work. :-(
Since that time either the contribution for events is general dropped or the goal was to high, or both. In the past we had normally more success reaching the goals. Both with deco and without deco and diamonds.

Both with deco and without deco and diamonds. I’m not sure what went on. I usually try for diamonds. For me, part of it was waiting for a 320 help task in the derby, that never came. Then I had some helps for T, but we had little time to connect—we were both busy off and on, or the game wouldn’t load/keyboard froze for her, etc. I did what helps I could for friends, but there weren’t a lot up. I have seen people say in the past that they kind of avoid some global events because people other than those on their friends/followers lists start raiding the shops. I had some times when my shop was emptied by someone who seemingly came out of nowhere—not even a last helpers list or something. Leaderboards, recent contributors lists or something? (I forget where else people can see your farm from.) I was just busy—couldn’t spend hours looking through the DD for helps. When I had time to look, there weren’t many flagged that I could reasonably do. I do think it seems we’ve missed goals more often recently, than in the past. Each time it happens, like when I did 3x the fishing for the Easter one and we still,didn’t get it, it lessens my motivation to bother with the next one. |

I think there are multiple reasons we didn’t reach the goal, and all the possible causes that people have suggested here make sense to me. Personally, I wasn’t able to help as much as usual because moving around people’s farms to look for trees/bushes to revive has been causing me motion sickness since the last update. I realize that many people aren’t experiencing the jerkiness and blurring that I am, but some are, and that may have been one of the reasons we didn’t reach the goal.

I have had the same thing with the jerking and thought it was my IPad. Thanks for posting this info, I was getting worried that I needed a new one. I finished the global event and it was a pain.

I might be mistaken, but I think SC recently changed the time allocated for global events, but without lowering the target needed to complete them. I remember sometime in the past there used to be a 4 days time frame for a help event and for fishing events too. With 4 days available of course it was much easier to reach the target. Hopefully they will change something soon, cause all the global events seem more and more like a total failure now and it's becoming frustrating.

The two 3 day events in April had the same targets as the previous four day events. Fishing: 300M Help: 120M That's built-in failure... |

This one included trucks, boats and also town besides bushes and trees. So for me it should be doable looking at the pace we had first 2.5 days. |

I had a lot of lagging on my own farm since the update. It’s mostly gone now, I removed most deco from my farm. ;-)
During the help event it happened a lot, when helping with produce, like the town or truck, the game wouldn’t take the product. As well a lot of farms where flagged with nothing to help on the farm.
Just checked, the lagging is still there, but not as bad.

Way to much effort for 10 diamonds, 50 maybe lol but not 10. |

Dear member,
you speak from my heart. I won't conceal that I'm still upset about the failure with the event for the masked pig. I wanted it so badly and I think I'm not alone. It was so special and in it's speciality so funny. 😍
At this particular time I consider now thorougly whether to participate or not. In the past this wasn't questioned from me as I did nearly every event, even the "unloved" boat orders. Currently I'm very fastidious about that. If I have the least possible doubt or I know I won't feel comfortable....I skip. Meanwhile that has become a habit.
In comparison with the past it has become totally vice versa. There are much more events I skip than I decide to participate. I mostly dont feel like to contribute. The effort which is required is way too much for a POSSIBLE reward. I agree with you that SC has tightened those events, and the rewards don't improve. No reason to waste precious time for that.

I’m also still disappointed about the masked pig- one of the decorations I really did want & love. I ended up not participating in this event at all, mixture of busy in real life & I’m not tempted by 10 diamonds. If the reward were 10 land expansion permits !!! Then I would have gone all out !! I used to participate in every one without fail. But I agree the effort required is far too much for the reward. And saws / axes takes time to get- and I don’t like the look of a ‘dead’ farm !! |

Agree to all!
The DD was also quite low on help.
SC needs to up their game to get the players going.
Losing is draining.
They opened so much land, doing a scroll worldwide would be fair 🌟

I lost interesting to do the event after the failure of masked pig which I really eager to have. The reword was not attracted so I just did some helps if it would be. I hope that SC do something since we have too many failure in the event in both deco rewards and diamond currently.
