The blossom derby is my least favourite derby because it is so frustrating. The amount of low point tasks increases by about 4 x normal, so you are forever deleting tasks & waiting for decent 320 tasks to show up. We desperately need a only 320+ point option!

I couldn't deal with it this week, so left poor hoodie carrying the bag (sorry and thank you! 😘) |

The amount of times I will carefully trash tasks waiting few seconds between each so that when they reappear I can trash and choose the blossom I want....
...Only to then completely forget to be online at that point 🙄😆
So frustrating 😅

I almost never opt in to the blossom derby. I did this week and the frustration - low point regular tasks, the need to trash super long tasks, teamwork that’s difficult because it’s hard to know who did which blossoms, and so on - remind me why I need to keep opting out. We finished our derby, but ugh! It was not pretty. If it was possible to at least see who had done which blossoms I might be more inclined to suffer through it because generally speaking I love doing derby tasks.

anniebel884 So true. Over time every derby deteriorated becoming more and more cumbersome. The Blossom and the Bingo take the cake regarding this matter. I visited today my sister-in-law and I remembered a time when we both were nearly the whole time online with our tablets and trying to figure out how to deal best with a Bingo derby. Back then it was doable and we had a lot of fun to finish the required tasks in a row. Same applies for Blossom. It was in comparison already at that time more difficult and not easy to finish due to the mentioned lack of tasks with 320 points. Today we left our tablets nearly alone and preferred to watch a movie. (3-D) Our game-play respectively the time we used to spend for the game changed when the game changed itself not for the better. Subsequent we "adapted" our play-style accordingly. No need to bother with this. Some changes will always happen since this is inevitable. But this doesn't mean we have to take every change of the game. In my opinion it's most important to play how it suits oneself best. It's not necessary to deal with unpleasant things. HayDay is fortunately a game which can be handled in every thinkable form. I also think this is a great asset and should be used properly. 🙂🌺

I play by myself and have never had trouble finishing the derby by Tuesday or Wednesday morning. It’s Friday and I just finished today. I have never seen such LOW point task’s before today. Normally I have a board full of 320 tasks. I thought I read last week someone saying they had low tasks. Well, it finally hit my farm. Talk about stressful. I don’t care about coming in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I just want to fill all the slots to get scrolls. I hope someone from HD see this post and tells the higher ups in charge. Maybe they are dragging it out so we have to play all week. I’m too busy to do that. I like to play casual Thursday through Monday. Thanks for this post, now I know it’s not just my farm.

I couldn't deal with it this week, so left poor hoodie carrying the bag (sorry and thank you! 😘) Bleeeeeh. You’re welcome. 💕 But what a pain in the behind. Would have been even worse if two of us had tried to coordinate to do the same blossom task for full points. I can’t believe how many I had to trash to do 10 tasks, 7 of them basket tasks. Load machine, fill barn to load more, find things to sell to make room to collect eggs, sell some, collect more, sell some, fill barn again to load the next machine, repeat all day. Have the same 2 tasks on the board when I go to bed as I did when I woke up because nothing else worked and was trashed. The derby *is supposed to be fun, right? 😳 SC, I love you and am grateful for the games you provide. But there’s still some tweaking to do, lol.  |

The Blossom Derby is far worse if you are doing it solo. So few 320 tasks appear other than the designated blossom task. I will give SC some credit though that it is by design to help keep players (not solo players) from grabbing a task accidently that is not a blossom task. It would be nice if solo players would get task boards that were more normal. blackbrit, I have seen other NHs have members change their name in ways to show what tasks they have completed. Obviously, some shorthand or code would need to be worked out. It’s worth a try. I played this week with 1 other hoodie. We trashed 173 tasks this week. Being in the same time zone and similar availability to be online helps A LOT. This is my least favorite derby, but I would not want to do it solo, or ask a hoodie to do it solo. We suffer together 😂 |
