Just logged on to find the latest Birthday Package Diamond/Deco offer. The decos are cute and I always try to buy one from each diamond/deco offer.
Here in the UK we normally get the option of £4.99 / £9.99 / £19.99 for the packages. My choice normally depends on the deco and how rich/poor I am at the time.
However, this time HD have taken away a deco for the cheapest option (£4.99) and instead have inserted a higher costs for the 3rd deco in between the £9.99 and £19.99 options!!!!
So now you can only get the deco if you spend £9.99 / £16.99 / £19.99. To be honest I am disgusted at the greed! They are also offering 3 puzzle pieces for 249 Diamonds and 5 Scrolls of 499 diamonds - are they out of their minds at these costs!??
I would have opted for a £4.99 deco package had it existed this time. We, like many, are having to make cutbacks with expenses due to rising costs of everything. Instead, SC will not be getting my £4.99 or anything else from me. I'm sure many people will still buy them, but I feel it is a kick in the teeth and very underhand of SC to just removed the Deco from lower price package. So disappointed!

Same, I was thinking some more diamonds might be nice and I'm happy to wait for an accompanying deco deal but then no 4.99 option 😐
Guess I'm waiting longer now 😅

I am running a little low on diamonds, so was looking forward to diamond packages so that I could top them up.
When I need diamonds I tend to buy the packages where I like the particular decoration.
This time I'd have loved the "floating goat", but I won't be buying it. Although it says 30% off, the package includes coins as well as the decoration and diamonds. My farm currently has over 42 million coins, so I really don't want to pay real money for more coins.
I appreciate that some players will be glad of coin, of course, but it's not the package for me.

Agreed! They should have offered this as the mid range diamond offer for £9.99 and 275 diamonds. Instead they've made it look like a great 30% off offer where in actual fact it's only slightly cheaper than the top offer, but with less diamonds and coins which are useless to most! if the goat had been £9.99 with 275 diamonds, I may have stretched to that offer as it is a great deco. Def not paying £16.99 for it! |

I am also a little bit disappointed about the price. Tbh, I didn't realized until now that the second offer with the floating goat included diamonds AND coins.
I have also enough coins and I am therefore not in need for more. The last offer aroused my interest although it's not a typical farm thing but I find it very special ( like the masked pig in the event we failed). I admit...I was tempted. But I think I'll pass. It would be nice to have it but it's not an absolute must-have.

ugh! why the price increase SC? (Share holders demand?)
Well, I had my mind set on the floating goat so I bought it. But not the other 2 offers, and I am not buying any of the offers for my Mom's farm. I am wondering if SC is trying to see how far they can raise the pricing for people still buy the offers.
AND while I'm ranting, raising the pricing and not raising the event diamonds from a meager 10 to say 50 is just not right.

I agree with everyone - Hay day are getting too greedy.
I would much rather have more diamonds than coins which I definitely don’t need. I had intended to get the £4.99 one, but the cheapest is £9.99 in the UK, and the deco I really wanted is the balloon goat which is £16.99 !! Too much sadly. I’ll skip them this time.
5 scrolls for 499 diamonds is totally bonkers 😂 !!

Agreed.
They are raising the prices for a “gold pass” in Clash, as well. Perhaps they are varying the deco prices instead of “farm pass” prices for HD.
I agree with the cost of everything rising (it must be for SC staff as well), that their game staff perhaps deserve/(need?) an increase, as well. But there is a limit on my end, too. No goat for me, and I’m going to have to be much fussier going forward.

Agreed, they are all more than I am prepared to spend.

Wow, 42 million coins. I'm somewhere over Level 70 and so I'm always glad of getting coins. But the biggest source of income is my farm and RSS. Although coins are important for me, I'm absolutely with you. I would never pay real money for coins. |

I would never pay real money for coins. Unfortunately, I did, I'm embarrassed to say! I came to realise that I was getting too low on diamonds, and was in danger of having to buy some before the next deco offer was likely to appear. Having done the maths, regardless of the coins, it was actually a better price for the number of diamonds in comparison to the other offers, and it included the one decoration that I really wanted. I therefore went totally against my principles and bought the floating goat! She's now in residence floating above my truck order board. My integrity is hiding in a cupboard... |
