Poll

1. How entertaining was the event?

2. How easy was it to understand the event?

3. How easy was it to progress in the event?

4. Are you satisfied with the gifts you received?

5. How visually appealing was the event?

Got ~3,500+ passes worth of stuff for essentially free. Am I actually going to do anything with most of these? Nah. But I did get luckier than usual! At no point did I go for points, only for prizes. I spent 100,00e in one go on trades only twice. The others, I stopped around the 7,000e point.

I do really like that they gave way with the community objective and just gave us two rounds a day. Easy to do, especially since you could get all the UFOs within 5 minutes of clicking about. Quite happy with this iteration overall.

Prizes:
1x Athena's Medal
1x Harmony Pack
3x Chronos' Timers
5x Horn of Plenty
3x Aphrodite's Tears
3x Wanderer's Spirits
6x Fertility Wands
5x Achilles' Heel
7x Kairos Dials
2x 5 Aging Points
7x Apollo's Lyres
10x Artemis' Arrows
1x Beluga Pinata
5x Croesus' Fortunes
3x 5,000e
5x 50 Mash
5x Saddle Pads

I always have mixed feelings about this event in general as it's so difficult to progress that I end up just keeping everything and not actively playing it for the intended goal. In the end, though, it is a nice event to stock up on various prizes. I like that the prize pool was fairly limited so that there was a good chance at getting multiples of some of the items that I use more often, and I loved the ability to trade balloons for a reasonable price. I also found the 2 rounds a day to be much more compatible with having real world responsibilities than previous editions.

I was really hoping to get a Harmony Pack or a Chronos Timer, but I got stuck in endless trade loops of Fortunes, saddle cloths, Lyres, Arrows, and Belugas. Eventually, I'd just give up and keep a Lyre or Arrow.

All in all, I'm pleased with what I got.

7x Seven Seas Wanderer's Spirit
2x Aphrodite's Tears
1x Horn of Plenty
6x Artemis' Arrow
11x Apollo's Lyre
3x Fertility Wand
11x 5 Aging Points
2x Croesus' Fortune
6x Kairos Dial
6x Achilles Heel
7x 5000 Equus
1x Blue and white Western saddle cloth
6x 50 Mash
3x Beluga Pinata

Loved this event! Didn't bother trying to get the ranked rewards and focused on getting as many higher tier BMI's as possible. Worked out great! Ended up with a ton of AH's, fertility wands, aphrodites years, harmony packs and horn of plenties. I always love events like these because when I win BMI items I can usually sell them through the exchange to really boost my reserves! Only nitpick I will say is I had to spend a good chunk of Equus throughout to swap my balloons, because I was constantly getting aging points, equus, and that darn Beluga whale!! Lol

Can't wait for the next event

Spent way too many Equus trying to trade items just to receive lesser items. There should be some kind of system where the prize items are on a ranked list, and trading can get you something of the same rank or a rank up.

The most annoying thing about the UFO's is that the same 5, low level prizes kept coming up. I did appreciate the aging points coming up repeatedly, those I can use.But the Croesus Fortune and Apollo's Lyre are virtually useless. Otherwise it cost a lot of equus to get anything worthwhile. Overall...Free stuff I can use and trade are always welcome.

I kept the black market items I wanted to keep and passed up the useless ones. I wasn't really concerned with the ranking because I've never managed to get very far on that. At the end of the promotion I got what I always win,a Medusas' Blood.

Decent gifts for a change, but the ranking? Yeah.. let's not get started on that.

Was nice to have set times, in blocks of 12 hours each - very helpful - please keep that element default smiley :d
Costs to trade an item: Great that it reset every round and started LOW instead of at several hundred e from the get-go. That is a keeper too, though the odds of getting a better or equal item to the one you're trading could be improved on.

This event is really easy if you are not going for the ranked rewards. I'm just happy to have collected some really nice BMI's.

I didn't play competitively this time, But I'm very happy with what i got. I spent way too many equus trading for better prizes, however I don't mind too much.

My only issue with trading is getting something with lesser value or to keep repeating what ive just tried to trade away.

Other than that, I enjoyed this event

Whilst I enjoyed this event I expected to get better prizes if I spent equus to trade. But if anything i got worse ones most of the time. There could of been more variety of bm items as it was alot of fertility wands and HOP's at best.

It was a bit frustrating if I was trading equus to get worse prizes. Even if there were changing percentages of options. I might get a mid level prize at 10 equus and a 5pt prize at the 2k equus. I'd expect as I trade higher amounts of equus to have a much better chance of getting better prizes

I got great prizes in the beginning, such as a few Harmony Packs, Tears, etc. But as the event continued, I couldn't help but notice the prizes got progressively worse. It wasn't long before all I was getting was a few bags of mash and aging points.

Not trying to complain, but the exciting prizes didn't last long. I am thankful for the few good items I did get, though default smiley :)

I am pretty happy with what I got. default smiley (7)

I didn't pay for extra bonuses from friends and I didn't spend much on trades. I got 3 HoPs, a timer, 4 fert wands, 2 Wanderer Spirits, 4 or 5 tears, and a bunch of heels, arrows, dials and APs. Eventually I will use them all. It was so nice to stock up. Thanks, Howrse!

Overall great event and happy with my freebies.

For me i would rather have seen a MB, GA, Ray or really any other tradeable item instead of the zillions of dials I kept having to trade.

But restocking up.on freebies to trade, or use in my game like the mashes and AP was much appreciated.

I wish we could have traded things for items of equal or better value, much like a number of other people have expressed here. It's a fine event for stocking up on things if you have much of an interest in the prize pool, but I still found it to be meh overall, with the way the UFOs tended to become worse when trading them for a different one being a huge killing blow to my enjoyment of the event.

I did appreciate that the trade prices started low, so that's one good thing.

I actually only traded once and just decided I was always going to just keep the prizes. I got a lotto stuff that I won't use,but can give away. I enjoyed how easy this game was. I liked it as it didn't require passes to make progress

A fair trade with your balloons would be a great improvement.

A BM item balloon should be offered another BM item in your next balloon if trading. Not tack, mash or AP. I disliked saddle blankets and mash being a UFO balloon. default smiley (n)

The BM items were VERY repetitive. I got a few heels, 1 HOP, 2 Fert. Wand. I didn't want Croesus Fortune or Lyres. Such useless prizes. No one wants to trade these in the Item Exchange, either.

Prizes were very mediocre. It would be amazing if you offered EVERY player the same prizes in their balloons daily. Too much luck based and many times it's unfair for those only offered mash, tack and AP constantly.

Please, reduce the amount of equus for trading a balloon as well. The prize is crazily inflated each time.

Thank you for the event and considering our feedback comments to improve the next event. default smiley :d

hm. never thought i'd say this but i genuinely got sick of the pinata. i was on the phone with a friend and said "if i get one more of these im not spending anything on the next event" because it was literally what i was getting EVERY SINGLE TIME, then the western saddle cloth, then mash. yeah i got some BMIs but nothing that made me go "oh thank goodness" default smiley 8-) just kinda bummed this time for logging in so religiously to get my eqqus drained just trying to get more than 1 chronos' timer
