@guiltynine Thanks for the heads up! The game hasn't pushed a new update for me yet, but I'll look into it. Kinda happy this next event is just one of those where you can advance on your own pace. The Sandcastle Competition took it out of me, lol.

Another dog, very imaginative!

Could we get a cat ? I have 8-9 dogs and only 3 cats.

@Rambling Rose Another dog might not be the most creative thing, but I gotta give credit where it's due. Remember how some time ago I posted how I thought the key purchase confirmations had been added into the game? I was actually right and yes, the game now asks for confirmation on ALL key purchases. I found out during the event by accidentally tapping on things on the order board and also accidentally tapping the "skip wait" button on global. I am so happy I didn't lose any keys and even though the temporary hand is "just a dog", we've gotten a much more important game feature in complete silence. Considering how long we asked and asked for it, I think this is awesome!

Game is asking for update but Amazon app store doesn't have an update

Rambling Rose

@SB_ wow I hadn't noticed that. I'll look out for it. To finally get something we've asked for for ages is, I agree worthy of celebration.
I notice though that someone was complaining about accidentally losing keys this morning, so I hope the joy isn't premature.

I posted what I did because having played the game for over 3 years now, I'm knee deep in cats and dogs, some of which even look the same. I don't think it would kill Zynga to come up with something else.
I don't care much about the temporary hands but I wish they would offer a choice of prizes like the fair. I really don't need any more hands, an extra tree, power pin, even the choice of a decoration would motivate me more.
I'm not bothering with the next event , I'll just help my coop.

Irraya

@SB_ I just accidentally spent keys to speed up something. No confirmation.
Maybe they had it for the event, but doesn't seem to have been implemented for normal gameplay.

@Rambling Rose the farm frenzy will be a nice change. Hopefully we'll get another special crop.
As for events, I agree with you. A change is a long time coming, but they don't seem to want to put the effort into creating different events or prizes.

SB_

@Irraya I don't know what to tell you, except that maybe this is something that gets rolled out in phases again. Maybe Zynga has gotten tired of their customer service being jammed with endless messages about lost keys?

By the way what's this Farm Frenzy about?

@Rambling Rose I totally get it that you'd like something different. I would too if I was in your shoes. I was just happy to notice that changes are being made, even if it's gradually

GUILTYNINE

Wish they gave us more power pins along with the temp helpers.

nelmit

I cannot play my game at all as it wants an update but my Kindle doesn't have it. I'm going round in circles.

Rambling Rose

So I've counted and I have 28 permanent helpers and 3 Temps and I don't think the using key issue is fixed.

mb_942

I can't get on my game at all. Which means I've lost my chance to finish the stuff I was working on. Really mad. Game asks me to update but there is no update so game won't load.

Irraya

@SB_ the farm frenzy lasts for about a week, usually. They give you a gift every day. I need to restart my game to get it, so I did so around the same time every day.

You might need to be connected to Facebook, but I'm not a 100% sure on that.

The last time we got the special corn patch, plus gifts like unlimited speed seed for a day, a temp hand for a week.

sgeo

Does the farm fenzy happen only once a year?

SB_

Game now has info about the Wild West event, which starts on Aug 18th.

Event started for me today although I saw the sign saying August 18.

Maybe Zynga is starting it early for its "most favoritest" players in the whole wide world.

On second thought, that would definitely leave me out so ... whatever.

SB_

@IwateGuy Yeah, I noticed the same when I logged in just now. Event is underway and first phase requires Peaches for Peach Yoghurt.

julielundy

Says event will start on 18th. Mine started on 16th.

Also, my other coop members say that under the reward you get, at the end of each phase, they have a bonus and a time frame in which they have to complete the phase to get the bonus. Bonuses are things like ribbons.

I don't get this bonus or time frame displaying... Have reported this to Zyanga, no response as of yet..

Irraya

@julielundy phase 1 bonus is 3 spades.

Phase 2, bonus is yellow ribbons

Phase 4 bonus is red ribbons

I don't know about the other phases yet.

.......

@IwateGuy @SB_

I want to clear up some confusion going on here about the events.

The current event that is underway - started on the 16th, is the FarmVille Western. This is the 5 phase crafting event.

The Farm Frenzy is something else entirely. That is the one that will start on the 18th. To participate in that, all you have to do is log in every day for a week to get a reward each day.

@sgeo the farm frenzy isn't regular. There was one last Xmas, then 1 for the 3rd year anniversary, and now the one coming up. There might have been a couple before that.

farmerNikki

@Irraya Tyvm for the screenshots with the bonus rewards and countdown timer! Last Christmas, during the Frenzy Event the Corn box was one of the daily rewards.

It's a huge help to know in advanced which ingredients will be needed for the upcoming phases. Thanks @Irraya and @SB_

Irraya

Items needed:

Phase 1, peaches for yogurt
Phase 2, butter, eggs, flour, sugar, strawberries
Phase 3

Irraya

Phase 3 bonus - Ready Eddie pin

sgeo

Thank you!

Carrieslu

when someone said you may have to log into facebook to get the daily prize, I automatically log in when I go into my game, will it just automatically give me my prize or do I need to do something specific?

GUILTYNINE

@Carrieslu there's no need to log in to Facebook in order to get participate in the Frenzy event. Everyone who opens their game during this period will automatically get the prize..

Irraya

I got 10 keys for Day 1.

@Carrieslu I think a previous farm frenzy was for those connected to Facebook. But @guiltynine is correct. Anyone playing should get it.

Mine didn't pop up, but there was a new message, so check there. Bottom right corner, if anyone is unsure.

Muddi

Several of us in the co-op do not get the pig food pricies - other with same problem
