Good prizes, but there was no point trying to rank up. I spent the first half of the event trying to get into a higher rank for essentially no reward whatsoever. Once I quit trying and just kept prizes it got a lot more fun!

I'm very happy with this event. set trade limit of no more than the 2430e trade. and decided the only prizes I didn't want were lyres and fortunes. never spent 2430e on a trade usually only spent 270e. did a few 810 (usually lyres and fortunes). spent a grand total of 8980 on trades and spent nothing on bonus requests.
My haul:
2 harmony packs
timer
3 hops
3 tears
2 wandering spirits
3 wands
2 heels
8 dials
70 aps
19 arrows
4 belugas
60000e
150 mash
2 saddle cloths

Yes I could have spent more on trades and MAYBE gotten better but I could have gotten worse. the fact that I ended up with NO lyres or fortunes is amazing to me. on this promo I always set similar limits and always have 2 or 3 items I don't want to keep at all but I always end with a couple because I am at my max for the trade limit I set. I never met the trade max I set this time and still didn't have to keep any of the 2 items I didn't want at all.

also used one of the HOPS yesterday to try for Scorpio and actually got Scorpio. I had no HOPs before this promo so the only reason I got Scorpio is this promo.

I gotten 7 dials in this event. I really like those bmi because it makes my working my divines easier.

I just took the bmi given because this event requires a lot of equus to place on top rankings.

About 9 out of 10 times, just ended up with the same items despite trading over and over again to try to get something better.
I ended up on the second-to-last page of 'lowest ranking players' last time I checked, because it's just better to accept the cheap stuff and move on.

I added my comments for the battle along with the challenge

I don't go for any top shelf items - in my budget or my ability so I just pick up items offered

glad it's so quick - while waiting I visit pages and I do the strokes if I find them and good chance of pickup of HOP

Really loved the prizes I got in this run - I know it's a luck game, so not everyone will have great rounds but this time I managed to get a bunch of the top-row items, as well as several mid-level and lower-level stuff, but it was all items I'll actually use. default smiley :)

The only things I traded were Belugas, Lyres and Dials, everything else I kept and I'm quite happy with. The trades were also not so expensive that trading cost more than the prizes, with the 5000e prize alone which I got several times I paid for it and then some, not to mention all the other things. default smiley (y)

I guess it was a decent event, in the sense that I got many prizes and things I can use (I'm a new player, it's the first event I've experienced) but I'm also not sure what the point of the event was.

You got to choose between a prize of some sort or points - I couldn't quite figure out what the point of the points was... did higher ranking people get bonuses at the end? So I just took what I could.

I liked the vent but trying to rank is almost impossible so i just figure that i would just take the prizes instead and i got a lot of them. Nice event, very generous thank you !

I kept most of the prizes from the balloons. I have no interest in climbing the ranks. I also only participated because I would make progress on my trophy for the battle.


In terms of enjoying the balloons / challenge. It's a meh event. I didn't bother buying the key. The premium prizes, in my opinion, weren't worth the cost. I have no use for the starry Aura.
Prizes for the balloons. Also meh. Howrse really wanted to give me the ugly companion. And many duplicates. No thanks. I only kept the horn of plenty, Athena's Medal, Harmony packs, tears, wands, dials, heels, Artemis' Arrows, and some of the 5 AP balloons. Everything else was junk.


Otherwise, I'm happy this event is done. I am happy I got the mushroom divine. Now I can work on that trophy

Disappointed. I got the same four gifts over and over again, Lyre, Blanket, Cash and Age points. Never reaching the higher more valuable gifts. It was like being stuck in a glitch.
Just how many Lyres does a person need? I've never understood this game.

tried to rise in the ranks before i figured out it was super expensive and really time consuming, so i just started taking whatever gifts. i just got stuck in the lyre-blanket-equus-KD-mash-pinata companion loop. i did manage to get one harmony pack and a couple artemis’ arrows, so that’s cool i guess. i also was in the top 5000 so the medusas blood was nice. just kind of meh overall. i’d really like a competition that doesn’t feel too exclusive to participate in as somebody who’s not in the top ranks or doesn’t have a huge cash reserve. sure, the prizes are cool, but what’s the point of attaining them is borderline impossible for a casual/brand-new player? i’d like BMIs that aren’t another apollo’s lyre for once :,)

I’m just glad it wasn’t the piñata event. I want cute sleeping pets, the phoenix, cubsith and cat situs.

I got only 3 or 4 things I actually value from the Balloon portion of the event. I think it’s a bit crazy to spend increasing amounts of money and end up with the same item or a lower value item. As you trade I feel you should be even if it’s every other time trading in a single trade sequence be steadily climbing gift levels. The number of times I started with a C. Fortune and ended up with 5,000e or 50 mash was pretty depressing.

I also find it terribly annoying when you catch a balloon and have to immediately go make a choice with it. There were times where it seemed like it glitched out and every time I tried to finish caring for a horse it would pop the balloon notification back up. (Could just be on the mobile version) but it would be lovely if when you caught it, it was a little less repetitive in reminding you so you could finish the action you were working on when it appeared.

Overall, not the worst, but not the best. Probably my least favorite event in the last 4 months or so..

this would be a mobile thing. that's not how it is on the classic version. only issue is you won't get the next balloon til you decide so you don't want to forget to decide

I would rank it 10/10

I used to really, and I mean really, dislike this event but now I know not to worry about getting points and instead just take the prizes every time. There is literally no point in trying to keep your points standing in the positive. I would rather be in the negative 500s than be struggling to keep a positive number and missing out on BMIs. I like the BMIs to be won also. I was happy to get 2 sea wanderer coats.

Please keep this event as long as its not going to be changed. Just let ppl get to massive negative scores, bc it will never be worth it to me to try to maintain a positive point ranking and turning away BMIs.

I do find it irritating that I keep getting interrupted when try to look after horses but:

I spent less than 300 equus getting rid of things I really didn't want

Harmony Pack
Timer x 2
HoP
Tears
Wandering Spirit x 2
Fertility Wand x 4
Achilles heel x 4
Kairos Dial x 9
55 Aging points
Apollos Lyre x 5
Artemis Arrow x 8
Beluga x 3
Croesus Fortune x 6
40000 equus
Mash x 8
Saddle Cloth x 5

I'm happy with that although I could have done without the 102 bonuses I was left with. Perhaps we should be able to trade them for a few more prizes next time default smiley default smiley :)

Since I only get on once a day, I only got one round of water bottles tossed at me each day instead of 2. (Funny, but they looked like balloons to me & not water bottles, just sayings). -- I only passed on a couple of prizes that I really didn't want in the first day, then I just kept all the prizes. I wasn't going to get into the top spot or any where near it so why even try?

My least favourite event but thanks for the items I guess?
I think the prize categories should be expanded. Instead of just the first place prize to just the first place, it should be the top 100. then 2nd place should be the next 200 and 3rd 300. its just not worth trying at all to place otherwise.

Honestly I hate this event. Unless you really go for it it's very unlikely you'll get the top prize. And in doing so you forfeit getting any other prizes. Or you collect the other prizes which are boring, and repetitive. It also takes so long for the balloons to open and slows the site down for me.
