Overall, great prizes, but way too slow if you want anything good. Would be nice if we could have some more mid value Black Market items in between, like m bloods, p boxes, bolts, and fertility wands, all items that used to be considered around that point in events like the cards.

I ended up with 5 harmony packs, so no complaints here! The pets aren’t motivating for me, but I do enjoy free BMIs

One word: boring.

I couldn't wait for this event to be over, the final prize was not it and it took way to long to get anything decent.

I like the activity of merging the different elements, but this event is a rather slow progression when you want any of the upper value items, which all take at least a level 8 shark.

As much as I like the ability to choose our own prizes, I do dislike when we have to forfeit the event's divine fragments as a result. The lack of fragments in favor items, even high value items, really makes it feel like we get less than other events.

I wouldn't mind the less quantity, high quality feel if we also got fragments. Perhaps the amount of fragments we could could be in proportion to the gifts we claim. For example, a higher value gift offers more fragments, because you're going to make them less often, and the low end gifts give less fragments because you can make a lot of them. That way no matter which you go for, the fragment amount roughly balances out.

4 titans challenges and two Artemis' arrows. I am very happy with the prizes I got however I am very unhappy about the prizes offered. The Challenges and the Harmony packs seemed to be the only valuable prizes offered for a decent price. The P stone and the M arms as well as several of the other BMIs just weren't really worth the amount of effort needed to get one.

The art was.... Something. I can see why someone would like the new shark design is HOWEVER, I don't think Howrse players are necessarily the right audience for most of them. The more sharky looking ones are pretty good, and a couple of the others are pretty cute too, but the three Godzilla inspired ones are bizarre and should have either been changed to better fit Howrse, or not used at all.
This of course my personal opinion and I would honestly love to know if anyone truly likes the ones with arms.

Not a very exciting or interactive promo and progress is slow. Not keen on theme either, horse game anyone?

What I do like is being able to select own.prizes to work for, I have spent a fair bit but managed to make enough pink eggs to be able to achieve the next zonkey trophy (side note, anyone know what they go up to?)

No other prizes for me as my focus was purely the eggs. Edit, I lie I got as many fragments as I could too, forgot about those!

Another good option for that would be checkpoints. Every X amount of sharks merged together gets you X amount of frags.

The merging promotion is one of the least favorite promotions for me. I made three TC and a few lower prizes. It took 4 days of merging to get 1 TC, It's an extremely slow moving promotion and it's easy to get bored with it, After a few days I was looking forward to it being over. I'd rate it a 1 out of 5. default smiley :(

This event is probably my least favorite. It's so boring, It's like watching paint dry. Thank goodness that event is finally over


I did manage to get 3 Titan's Challenges and a bunch of fragments for the divine, I was working on a fourth but forgot about the existence of the promo (which I did often) and forgot to finish the merges before logging off for the night. Oh well.



As far as the crown divine goes: While I collected the fragments from the promo, I won't be trying for him. Ever since the crowns were introduced, I've had to fill the meter for each and every divine that's been offered. That gets old fast. I'm tired of paying the over-inflated price for a divine that usually isn't worth that price tag.

I love this idea! I'd imagine it'd be easier to implement as well

Hello there!
I was not fond of this particular game. I did get the white fantasy shark and a red dragon. I didn’t feel compelled to really play this game. Just didn’t appeal to me as much as some of the others. No offense but if this game went away I don’t think I would miss it.
My apologies for being negative
Sincerely

The event was quite boring, easy to even forget about it. But prizes and how effortlessly you can get them is good. I think it is fine for a breather between more demanding events.

Sharks, NO
Prizes, Bleh
Time, Forever

So much time and effort for so little. The worst promo I can ever remember. default smiley :@

I do like the idea of something for making lots of merges. (Yes, I know there is a trophy for that but it takes forever too.)

I ike the ability to chose your prizes, but found it tedious with the number of days it took to get anything of real value. It is too sow moving.. While the art work was great, a lot of people on horse are hors people not shark people...

Really poor score - as is usual for this event.
Super boring, super dull,, and prizes are lacking too.

boring....default smiley (zzz)
and zero offense to the artist(s?) because the skill is very obviously there, but those sharks are... ugly designs.... just.. zero interest in 'winning' any of them
sharks=/=kaiju??? there are over 400 species of shark, you could have stuck to the theme
cookie cutter was a great start cause smol, but you couldnt only stick with 4?

i had zero desire to earn the final item so kept falling behind and failed to merge more than one wand, i could have gotten one more 'big' item, but forgot cause i just didnt even care to go to the game page



then again... default smiley (o) im guessing the design choices and the actual creatures chosen were actually a continuation of your co-op with hungry shark evolution? i dont remember that being part of this but that makes a lot more sense looking at their design style and the sharks themselves
that said.. that means this entire set of pets was what, a failed advertisement that... you just didnt want to not use? cause 1:1, its obviously the same style and sharks/creatures used
maybe dont force us to do ads for other games as events?

can we get like.. more goat pets, since goats are actually used as companion animals for horses? or maybe since it *had* to be shark themed, cleaner wrasse, pilot fish or remoras. or even some parasites of sharks, give that shark horse a barnacle buddy!

Mid event for me. Very slow going, especially when you want the top prizes as well as the Divine fragments. I do like the theme, but can see how it would not appeal to some. I do like being able to pick what prizes you want, and there were definitely some good ones to pick, but as mentioned it takes quite a while to get the better ones, and then you only get a couple prizes overall, which seems like a lot of work for little reward. I'm happy with the few items I did get.

1 Fantasy Shark
2 Eros Eggs
1 Harmony Pack
1 Titan's challenge
And a 2 or 3 low end items.

I normally like the merge events because the graphics and artwork are usually wonderful (Cu Siths for example) but I absolutely hated these sharks! They are just nasty looking and I hated playing the game every day and having to look at their hideous faces. I really wanted the Fantasy Shark tho so I played. And got it and some other nice BMI's so I can't complain about free stuff. But as others have stated, sharks and horses just don't mix! The game is slow to progress too but it was certainly easy enough to play and advance and I liked not having to use passes, my resources, or having to bug my friends for help.

I suppose I did something wrong but I had a level 8 shark some other miscellaneous levels and I got zero prizes. Extremely disappointing. I thought I remembered something about trading your sharks for gifts. But nothing I ever clicked on let me. I assumed my prizes would at least be automatically given at the end.

So thats ridiculously frustrating.

I believe I've liked this one better in the past. The top prizes were fine, but it took way too long to reach them without spending passes. Even spending a lot of passes I wasn't able to get a lot of prizes I would have liked.
