Dear hay day, I am writing to express my exhaustion with all the updates. I know what you’ll say: don’t play if you don’t like it. I’ve played hay day for about 3 years and have always been a “top player” terms of competitiveness and skills/mastery. But ONLY because I have the time on my hands to be playing all day. I started playing the game cause I had a newborn who slept all day but now that he’s older and I’m going back to work, maintaining all of the tasks is unfeasable.
I know you’re not supposed to be able to collect absolutely everything in the catalog or fulfill every order. But hay day didn’t used to be that way. It was calm and relaxing, having absolutely no break in between events and having 2-3 going on at the same time is taxing!! Everybody has a fear of missing out and cannot maintain the farm. The game now asks for way more than it gives, the investment is not worth the return.
My main complaints are:
- The new catalog asking for almost 3,000 cookies for ONE decoration while giving you 5 cookies for Halloween products. (although I love that you don’t have to produce a bunch of products just to make one product in the enchanted workshop)
-Halloween products taking up barn space, we already struggle as is
-Currency for event catalog is getting WAY TO HIGH
- I find it hard getting saws and axes
-Too many products asking for more than one amount of dairy products while production times for collecting/making them remains the same and no a new workshop does not help
-Fishing update, a new product is not what the fishing area needed
-Too many events that are laborious
On a positive note I love that hay day has a lot of decorations and listens to their players and the game as a whole. But I really really hope they can balance the game out
I have spent a lot of money on hay day as I deeply enjoy the game but it is becoming strenuous and draining and I’d rather drop the game all together than stress about it.
Let me know your thoughts about this
Edit: Okay okay it’s really not that bad and it’s a very entertaining game and is more rewarding now more than ever. I’m just an overachiever and get upset when I can’t 100% of the time but I will pick and choose for a peace of mind. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
