Holiday Event? Holiday Gift Boats Event?

Did anyone notice the catalogue doesn't have page no. 2? Funny 👍🙂

There are multiple things with December:

- Supercell won't be working when the late December event are actually out, so they can't really prepare the best communication, in case of last minute changes due to bugs or issues detected too late.
- if Supercell start holding off some information since several years, it is because they want to give the CC some spotlight so they can actually attract viewers for their own benefits. Some of you might remember "forum exclusive info" in the past. Too bad for those who can't stand watching lengthy and unnecessary video like me, or anyone who doesn't speak english. it's not like Hay Day is a multilanguage game...
- SC team maybe short on members but still want to give players some surprises. Surprise! However, I don't like surprise when it means it causes chaos in my planning!


I don't think I have much energy to follow this unwanted hype, it triggers more negative emotion than I need these time of the year. No boat needs rushing, I'll just play at my pace and let it be. If they do the bad job in communication, they gotta see the reaction when Players cannot plan nor even have the satisfaction of "playing smart" when they could have invest some money/diamonds to achieve all the goals.

I also decided for me not to bother any longer with the annoying issues without any chance of clarifying in time. It's indeed wasted energy, I don't need this either. 😕

I admit it's easier said than done bc it's actually so unnecessary. But it is how it is. If there are things we can't change - this is obviously the case - we have to change our attitude. Everything else is bad for us and it leads to nothing, exceptional bad mood. I try to come to terms with the current conditions and to get what is possible.

I have no power any more to deal with things I can't affect in any way. Tbh, my power and my time are too precious to be wasted at this subject. Enough is enough!

I could start a long rant about SC/HD, but most has been said in this forum in a lot of threads over the past months.
I wonder why a quite lot of you long-time-players, deco-lovers, fangirls/boys etc still give them your money.
To me it's obvious the one and only goal is to get more revenue no matter what, as long as possible.
Imo this game is dead.

I absolutly agree with you and LuvHayDay. 
Surprise is ok. But they should let us know how long we have the chance to earn hollies. 

The first part of the catalogue will be closed soon. Without knowing how much time we have to collect the hollies it is hard to decide what to buy and how much hollies you should safe for the upcoming parts. 

But as donkefan said: 


You are right. It is wasted energy. 
First I thought this is really annoying and was disappointed about the event or better about the missing informations. The time difference. 

But now I have dealed with it. 
It is how it is. 
I still try to catch informations and wanted to know how it will go on. 
But I am more relaxed. 

I decided that I will spent my hollies as there won't anything else coming up. 
So that I am safe if there is nothing else. 
If there will be more, then it is ok. If not, then I will have collected the things I wish. 

Frog, it's a love/hate relationship for me too. Sometimes I feel really fed up with the way things work – and don't work – but most of the time I get much more pleasure than frustration from the game. At this point what I enjoy most about the game is decorating, so I'm willing to spend (what I consider) reasonable amounts of money or diamonds on decorations I love. I'm very selective about what I buy, and the things I do buy really add to my enjoyment of the game.

I join you with agreement. 🎄⭐️

I play meanwhile 7 years, and I have to say there is no other game which created such a strong bond with me. Despite all shortcomings over the time.

Still enjoying to watch my donkeys (and other animals as well, but of course mostly my donkeys) and additional changing the "outfit" of my farm. Especially giving the donkeys another place so that I can see how they "adapt". In the past I had very often funny moments. That's are things I won't miss.

Regarding money...I am very fastidious. Like LuvHayDay and 🌼GymGirl🌺 already stated. I buy what I want but very often I pass. I think - despite of reasonable criticism - it doesn't hurt to support the developers for their awesome game over the years.

And at this point I come back to what Frog mentioned...it's a special relationship, grown over the years. The bond is strong, and therefore you don't quit easily. 🎄⭐️🌺❤️

It sure did! Scored me the carolers and snowfight!👍

Yay!  My wandering mind wandered upon the reason/solution!  It IS the Hay Day Christmas Magic Miracle ! 

Of course theymay still have surprises awaiting! 

Hello kida,

Thank you for your feedback. You did not offend me .
Been there, done that, got fed up, took break, coming back, review expectation, keep ranting... (or giving feedback, in some cases). Maybe it's age, I also accept game issues with a more generous attitude. To err is human and there are worse pb elsewhere.

I actually think the game is much better now than in the beginning where it was quite easy to be exploited. I'm at a stage where I know how (or find out quickly) and can do almost everything in Hay Day, I just decided to only bother what pleases me most. I have to say that real life has much more interesting things to do as well ^^.

Supercell games is the first games that I actually enjoy enough to join the community to learn tips and discuss strategies with like-minded people. However it's not always possible to have conversation between players with different playstyle. While some struggle with coins to buy new machine, I have no problem with clearing every RSS I could find, I simply don't mention it as I don't have a proper discussion thread to discuss how much the wealthy people enjoys new products right in front of other players who can't. How would they feel?

The core of Hay Day remains some kind of resource management. Poor strategy or playstyle would easily lead a farm to a vicious cycle with constant need of coins or storage. That's usually where players got stuck and upset if they can't get out. When there are such things that bother players and if they want to ask for advice on how to improve, I'm sure other players are willing to share tips. But if all they need is just to vent then people will just listen or join them. Personally, I woudn't spend time on a post where I can't identify a question or a need for clarification.

This forum, in english, is not the best representative of player base. Players who are actually pleased are busy playing, communicating on modern social platform looking for neighbors to trade, reminding them about derby task, sharing screenshots.... I can see that on some Discord servers, FB groups and Reddit. Not counting other similar platform in other languages.

I'm sorry if the vibe from the forum alone let you think the game is heading south. I do believe the game is improving and trying to please all different playstyles, often contradictory. The introduction of new type of event (Task Event) this Fall has actually brings more reader/ poster to forum as there are new things to talk about, and not just the same old "when does Bunny come" that is already discussed trillions times on the internet.


Hang in there! We're still here wherever the game is going.

Thanks so much for posting this, wasn’t clear at all, I was saving my hollies for the 2 deco booths coming in 6 days. Definitely don’t need my hollies turned into coins!!! A bit annoying though as I’ll have to re save up more hollies next week when I thought I’d had enough to get the booth decos on the day they came out, they cost a lot of hollies- 1800 in total which is why I’ve been collecting them ahead of time. So really I’m not happy about having to spend the hollies in only a couple of days or lose them to coins. Thought that would have happened like last year at the end of the event 😟

Everything says Boats 14 days 20 hours more of what the board says is a boat based event





Plus the gift catalogue itself only mentioning boats

It will take the absolute mick if the hollies we've worked for are converted to coins only for us to have to re earn more

Especially if that's using the same machine!

R3dknight posted a video to clarify the holly and gift situation

Current boat task with gifts ends on Dec 21.

Presents go away after Dec 21. They will be removed from inventory. No refunds.

The holly stays. It will carry over.

Gift machine stays for another 15 days.

Catalog also stays for another 15 days.

There is a new event coming. Holly will be part of this event.

Remaining holly will be converted to coins in 15 days.

Clear as mud.

Just watched r3dknights video- great to get that cleared up!! And that I can save my hollies.

Looking at the wrapping machine I wonder if they are New Year Eve party invitations popping out?🤔 - perhaps the next items we will have to make are New Year related??- just a thought😊
