Bingo Derbies are always frustrating, but this last one was especially awful. It was actually impossible. We deleted over 1,000 tasks in our quest to complete 3 Bingo lines (top row, left column, and bottom row). We had just 2 squares left. We never got tasks for one square (top left), and Hay Day stopped releasing tasks for the other square (bottom right) so we couldn't complete it.
The pacing to release tasks has always been frustrating. One or two tasks wait to drop until nearly the end of the derby. But never dropping, at any point value, is new.
Hay Day needs to fix the Bingo Derby task algorithm so getting Bingo isn't impossible.

I definitely understand!
I save all tasks of the type I need no matter how low point from the get go
I keep searching for better point tasks but I don't always get them and so have to fall back on the ridiculously low point task just to finish a line
And thats IF I'm lucky enough that any of the type I need show up at all!
Towards the end its an endless barage of identical basic truck, boat, train tasks to trash over and over and over with no unique production, harvest, townie tasks at all in the mix 😑

I lead a Champions League NH with 30 players. We usually finish 3 bingo lines. Not sure why this one was so awful. It was the first time that I can recall a task never showing up at any point value. We deleted 1,162 tasks and nothing, zip, zilch! |

I completely agree with arzea . I'm only in a 2 person hood but we've deleted over 500 tasks without ever seeing some tasks needed for bingo at any point value. I think they need to fix which tasks that show up so that we could try to complete bingo lines. It's disappointing that we get our hopes up only to never see the required tasks. |

Totally agree! We deleted ,000's of tasks waiting for ONE task to come in. One poor player had their cake machine stacked with about 25 Berry Cakes for days. It's not supposed to be easy, but come on! Making your players frustrated so they want to opt out next time surely isn't sensible. This and Mystery derby are most unpleasant to,play

Ack! I remember earlier times when Bingo wasn't that enervating. I also don't get the point keeping players stuck until the last day of the derby. Of course a little bit challenge would be appreciated but it's a great difference between a challenge and a nuisance.
Since we become aware that Bingo (and some other derbies as well) changed so badly we decided to take a break. Meanwhile about weeks. We are missing nothing.
To make things worse the effort and wasted time doesn't match with the given rewards. Very often are special rewards (such as in bunny rows) a disappointment as well. The logical consequence from this is clear. Either doing it nevertheless and being annoyed or skip it completely.
We (my sister-in-law and myself) chose the second way. It's very liberating and refreshing. 🙂

I still wish they wouldn’t wait to release bunnies in the bunny derby. Just finished it and while I got full points and might not need a 10th unless a bunch of others are sitting and waiting for the bunnies, I missed out on two of the bunny rewards. It’s either that, or risk being demoted (not to mention just having to think about it more during the week, lol). Less fun than it should be.
