How are we all finding it this time around with the slight changes to format from the last?

One thing I find interesting is that you can purchase all the event rewards with diamonds in the shop. That wasn't the case last time, was it?

It wasn't an option last time no
I am tempted by extra rainbow path pieces and maybe an extra flag 😅

There are a couple of bits I quite like but not enough to buy them at this stage.

this time there are just half the available tasks compared to the last event. so not so much speed-delete to get to the favorable tasks :/

The Color Event was a nice surprise this morning. I do like these types of special events.
The tasks seem more time consuming this time.

I've had couple lucky breaks where I could collect things I'd already stacked for instant points But mainly I've had to make them from scratch One time today I collected from a machine so I could make the 3 items I needed....the task straight after that asked for those things I'd just collected 🙃😆 Luck of the draw is failing me slightly today 😂

I like it, especially that there is a lot of deco plus the scrolls and chick vouchers! The latter especially make it worth working for. Compared to the valley, it’s probably similar or less work for comparable rewards.

I’m really enjoying it too ! Making slower progress than last time, but have had some easy tasks mixed in with the more time consuming ones. Very glad to be able to get land permits, means I’ll be able to open up another bit later. And loving the rainbow 🌈 deco ! Bought extra path pieces.

So it should be easier to complete the event this way 😊

well, I am still enjoying the decorations from the last event, I like the goat hanging on the balloons, I like the cart sending balloons in the air... and here we are with a bunch of new decorations. I always looked forward to a new decoration every once in a while all throughout the previous years, made them so special and I really wanted to get them. Now it is more like 'meh, I skip them since next week we have another pile of decorations available' ... Decoration overload?

I am getting a pop up warning when I delete tasks, trouble is no choice deleting when it is feeding donkey or kittens etc when baby farm doesn't have those 🤨

I'm speculating Team Hay Day is using rainbow colors for some of the decorations because they would like to celebrate LGBTQIA Pride Month which just ended in June.
Kudos to Team Hay Day for raising awareness about other cultures.

How mines going on big farm Trashed a fair few still have half the original amount tasks left and under a third of points still needed to finish so seems far more accurate ratio than last time

I'm not as fussed about reaching the end on my baby farms and there's far more tasks they struggle with so it is does seem weighted against smaller farms reaching the goal
Also based on what I've read and my own lack of donkeys there are some tasks like 'feed x pet' that simply can't be completed
Of which more than one example has appeared! Especially on smaller farms I've found

Especially on smaller farms I've found I'm not too worried about this event on my baby farms either. I wonder if that's one factor behind Supercell also offering the decorations for diamonds. If there's a particular deco a baby farm wants, I might be tempted to simply buy it, unless it appears early on the event road. It's good to have the choice!

Last time it seemed we had twice the amount of time to gain the same amount of points. Granted I did love that event so much because it was fresh and new that I blasted through it within 2 or 3 days on my main farm. And then started on baby farm which required more time because of trashing more tasks as others also mentioned. Baby can’t quite keep up with coins and main farm isn’t super wealthy either so she has to hold her own coin wise in my case. Besides not having every type of pet I’m also lacking a few machines.
If this is a more regular event I might slow down a little. Nevertheless I wish they hadn’t reduced the total number of tasks so drastically to allow for more trashing especially for lower level farms. You’re already slightly penalized with the 5 minute wait for a new task to show up.
On my baby farm I won’t be that fussed about reaching all the rewards. I’ll just see what goodies I can reasonably get and if I don’t make it then so be it. Not going to stress over a game which is supposed to be relaxing.

I always knew it would end this way 🤣 Trashing tasks left right and centre in favour of something small and instantly completable 😆 Must have scrapped a good dozen before this screenshot I do the same in video games....hording healing supplies etc then never using them...I'll learn one day 😆🤣

Looking good BauldersGate! I hesitate trashing thinking I will run out of tasks. Unfortunately I don't know how to calculate these things. Think I will start trashing a few, I have 3 soup tasks...time consuming 🙄 Great work BauldersGate 👏

very nice BauldersGate, but now, SC sees it can be done cutting 40 tasks AND 5 days I am close behind you, don't have game time today due to the holiday, so I lined up feeding pigs which will take me past the tent with 54 tasks to spare. I do like this style of event but with the farmpass, the valley and derby, I can only hope it doesn't end up as 'work' and then leads to burn-out for me

As much as I like the idea from SC for this special event I have to say that I dropped out after getting the flag, the coins and 5 pieces of the colored path.
I missed the flag earlier and was happy to get it with few tasks. Although it was more difficult for my babyfarms.
I don't know whether you are aware of that but you won't loose tasks by deleting them. Only in case of taking a task by mistake and deleting it subsequent the counter will decrease for 1 task. It should be doable and no problem to delete unwanted tasks such with a long production time and mingy coins. (E. g. jam and coins <100)
Additional I have less time for farming in the moment. I have to choose which part of the game I want to serve. Valley is in general no priority. Exception....permits as reward. But I'm not serving for puzzle pieces. Tools and mine stuff I have always plenty, no need to waste my time for sun points to gain them.
I also avoid tasks which are in my opinion too time-consuming. First of all I set value on having fun and to get relaxation. According to this I consider already for a longer time what I am willing to do and what I prefer to avoid or skip. I know that this approach is not convenient for everyone but for me ideal. 🙂

Not true, you will loose tasks if you delete them. If you trash a task your counter isn’t going down on number of tasks left straight away. But as soon as the task refreshes after 5 minutes the counter will drop by one for every task you trashed.
