What do you think of the new farm pass? I noticed that they really cut back on the XP awards, over 50%.

I'm missing 1 permit for the free farmpass, furthermore 1 additional spin (paid version) in the valley. Ok, the deco with the woodpecker is nice, no question. But no reason for me to buy the pass.
I don't question the reduced XP to0 50 % and increased coins to 50 %, but I think it wasn't necessary to increase indirectly the prize of the pass by cutting some features which were useful in the past. But that's only my point of view.

I have zero expansion permits in the free farm pass path and only one peacock voucher. Very disappointing. It will take forever to acquire the peacocks. 😢

I am personally going to miss the xp boost, it was pretty much a garenteed level up
But I can see how it was throwing off the coin to level ratio for the lower levels.
I'm also annoyed at the rate we'll be receiving chick vouchers
But again I can see how by this time next year that slow drip will mean we'll all have both peacocks and a store of them waiting for next animal release and the next after and so on.
My takeaway from this is that Supercell seem to be playing the long game, catering for a future of pet releases and catering for new players to keep joining
That in itself is a good thing for all of us, it means Hay Day is planning to keep on, keeping on for the foreseeable future and is adjusting the game accordingly.

I have to correct myself, I got this wrong. The additional spin in the paid version is available.

Yes, I agree. This is something important. It's human to look only for the short things but it doesn't hurt to stay with a longer perspective.  |

I haven’t bought the farm pass all that often yet since it’s introduction but find the woodpecker so cute that I had to get the pass this month.  Whenever there’s a cute an animated deco which I like very much I have a hard time resisting the pass. I wanted the Halloween deco in last months pass and also couldn’t resist the bouncing bunny in the spring pass earlier this year. Of course the extra things are nice to have but not happy with the reduction in XP from my perspective but for lower level perspective I understand it would be better not to level up that fast. |

Donkeyfan, I’m glad you mentioned the woodpecker deco. I completely missed that when perusing the farm pass. Now I feel better because I had been admiring that deco on Greg’s farm. 😀

You speak from my heart. Same goes for me. If there is some nice deco I'm eager of I can't withstand. For that reason it's fully understandable when user are buying the current farmpass due to the woodpecker. Donkeyfan, I’m glad you mentioned the woodpecker deco. I completely missed that when perusing the farm pass. Now I feel better because I had been admiring that deco on Greg’s farm. 😀 You're very welcome. Glad to help you.  |

I totally understand the % change in coin and XP, as it obviously had a balance effect. One of the first things older players tell new players is DON’T level up too fast. So it was wise on TeamHayDay’s part to reduce the XP. I’m not happy about it, as I had set a personal goal for myself and the change will make me work really, really hard to attain. Wish me luck 🍀. At the end of the year, I’ll let you know how I did. 😊

I want more of those! Lol. So disappointed. I think lower level players will benefit from slower leveling up. I know the truck tasks pay a lot less for lower levels than higher levels, the wow star pays coins based on level, so think they could have fixed the farm pass to do the same for us. Payouts based on level. |

I agree BauldersGate. I will definitely miss the xp boost. I am okay waiting 3 months for Peacocks. Its a goal to set and achieve for me. I could care less about sanctuary animals as the xp reward is ery meh. Lol. Especially when hay bales take 1 1/2 hr and you have to make 9 a day! Mine sleep a lot. I long for an expansion of the town with new shops and townies. |

I miss the XP but I’m really bummed that they replaced the permits with chick vouchers. Now I only get 2 permits instead of 4. The permits are the main reason I get the pass.
I bought it this month before I even noticed. It’s hardly worth it now that they took away 50% of the permits.

But I don't need more. I'd much rather level up and get garden plots occasionally lol. It's wonderful how each of us play so differently and work for different things.. hay day does work hard to keep each of us satisfied as much as possible.. while I'm disappointed in the change,, I will easily adjust and adapt to the changes.. I remember the days when we bought and sold unlimited amounts of expansion materials.. I was disappointed when they changed to 80 a day. I think instead of limiting buyers, they should limit sellers. That would stop a lot of bots as they would make a lot less money. But the developers did not ask me what I thought lol, ( go figure 😂😂 ) so I adjusted my expansion style and I'm good with it. |

So excited for the wood pecker deco! I will be looking forward to that one all month! Not sure why we have Valentines and Christmas deco in November but I love all decorations. Hopeful to have a choice to pick the vouchers one day in the future. I got some new task this week too, excited for that.

Haha my 200k really isn’t much. I need to save up again when they add a new machine I wouldn’t be able to buy it. I had started collecting Maggie styles so that cost me quite a bit of gold and I have a habit of buying all the goodies I can find. Anywho I certainly understand people aren’t happy with the XP changes and permit changes in this months pass. The 80 limit I could live with as I knew I could never reach that amount beforehand anyway. Limiting sellers is a tricky solution as well. You could end up with a stuffed barn , besides it’s bad for the EM economy if players have selling limits on EMs. |

I miffed that I paid for two repeat decos , the coffin, and now the fireplace in the road pass. Not to mention the fact that I got two Olympic decos, the winner stand and the torch which is huge and why would I ever want that on a farm. At least give us a choice of decos instead of forcing old ones on us.

I haven’t seen any reduction in the XP rewards this time. I’m probably getting about the same 2.3 million XP.

So for me, I only go the free road...so this time XP is less, NO permit, one chick voucher....I like the final deco music box snowman. But it feels like permits are getting more and more rare...I had none on the last Valley either.  |

I’ll also say, since the parameters have changed, it’s ok to adjust your goal accordingly without feeling like you didn’t make it ( if that happens). |

They were on the wheel for some lucky people on the very first day of the update but that was a boo-boo which was fixed. |

At least give us a choice of decos instead of forcing old ones on us. Repeated deco for one are also first time deco for other players and they aren’t necessarily new players. This spring I got the farm pass just for the bouncing bunny. It was a repeat but I haven’t bought it before yet so for me it was new. the same goes for the purple pumpkin with the chicks and the Halloween table stand thingy. The fireplace is also new for me which I do think is nice however I do like the woodpecker more so that was reason for me to get the farm pass again this month. |
