I have noticed that events are now Thursday through to Tuesday mornings. These last two were shorter, just a week, but it used to be start on Thursday ends Monday morning two weeks later.

Or is it just me. I hope it goes back to two weeks.

I liked some of the prizes.

Oh I only had to buy a set of moves once because I thought it will end on Monday instead of today.

I think the only thing I was happy to get was the crown. I know the last time we had a shortened event that many people complained about it, so I don't know why this one was only a week. I would have loved to have had the final prize, but because it was shortened, I would have had to spend money that I don't have to finish. Having the option to spend passes is nice, but it would be even better if we could win without them. If you're going to shorten an event, please allow for some sort of objective we could do to skip forward a bit.

I really don't like the hike event. It's boring, mindless clicking that is completely down to chance on if you succeed or not with the cards you get. I didn't even end up remembering to play because it's so mindnumbing and lost out on whatever prizes I could have gotten with the 50 tokens I had waiting to be used, but oh well.

Really like the hike promos, would rather this be normal length and the mind numbing blocks and pairs be used for mini events though.

Easy to progress, managed the element in all servers with ease, despite collecting as many fragments as possible (so wasting moves changing lanes). For a totally free event prizes were fine.

I didn't finish the hike, never knew what the grand prize was until I asked some friends. I didn't like this one, found it too hard to progress and got stuck often. I like free stuff though. Yay free stuffdefault smiley :)

Hated the length. It was too short for my taste. Other than that I found it very very fun and entertaining. Because it was so short I didn’t get a lot of prizes but those I did. Enjoyed.

Didn't finish, wish there was more ways to earn coins to move. Overall I like these events.

This one was quite easy and was able to finish only if you logged in every single day. I think extending it even just a day or two would've helped others who aren't familiar with these short events. The only problem I ran into was trying to restart it after finishing it the first time. It restarted, but then wouldn't let me move, so there really was no point in restarting.

Usually I get through this event fairly easily. I think I ran this every day and this time barely made it. But I did make it without spending passes. Just luck, I guess.
Got a few nice prizes. The Special Element is not one I particularly prize, but "to each their own." default smiley ;)

Did not realize this promo was so short, so I didn't use most of my tokens. I can say that's my own fault for not paying attention, but genuinely, most promos are much longer so I can't totally blame myself for expecting a previously set precedent to be followed as usual. Fortunately I looked at all the prizes in advance and didn't see anything I cared about that much and did make it to the tyche's crown.

I found it hard to get very into this one as it felt like it was already almost over when it started. Not a lot of work and prizes were ok for minimal involvement, though really unfortunate if you couldn't make the cards you had work out to get over to the Crown as it was the most exciting thing. Definitely prefer the full length events.

Short event, but easy event, as long as you actually want the prizes / put in some effort.

I logged on every day, did the missions to get tokens, and logged off. Then yesterday I actually used all the tokens, and was about 5 away from the prize. Logged on this morning, got the prize.

I spent 0 passes, and got:
- Special 5th Element
- Aphrodite's Tears
- Fox
- Tyche's Crown
- Ow's Helios Ray
- Ploutos' Parchment
- Kairos Dial
- Croesus' Fortune
- Achilles' Heel
- Fertility Wand
- Horseshoe Studs

plus other smaller things, like squirrel, ap, and tac.
Not too bad for a completely free and short event

I was really happy to get the fox companion, Tyche's Crown, and a 3*** saddle pad. The other prizes were descent for a short run. I'm not a fan of the shortened mini events. Even playing every day of the event and skipping lesser prizes I was not able to finish this one. I got stuck in spots were I needed a card to move and couldn't get it. Having an extra day or two can be super helpful.

I really like these types of events - the prizes were quite good too!
The only con for me was that the event should have been a few days longer.

We love big prizes for participating in promotions, where are they? The only useful thing is the crown, ugh! default smiley :-x

I long for the days when Events were not one after another but were quite infrequent and always had a great top prize of a divine. While it's nice to top up small things and I can see that it's good for newer players, the one after another approach we have now has made them less special. I don't mind this particular event and was happy to pick up a crown and a few other things - and it is one that doesn't take a lot of time to take part in.

I really liked the gifts. I would probably have finished it in time if i didn't spend square on so many gifts i wanted. It's okay though, i ended up spending a bit to finish it even though i didn't have to. Thank you for all the gifts.

I don't like when you shorten events. Last time we had the hike, once we got to having 4 squares across the move over button only cost 1 move instead of 2. You didn't do that this time, so I was really disappointed in that. Caused me to skip a couple prizes so i could keep my moves & make it to the end. I thought it ended Monday, like many people, but was glad it didn't as I was able to log on & get to the end to get the special 5th Element.

Now, could you PLEASE NOT have another even start Thursday? Can't you give it a rest for a few weeks and let us build up some passes for a while, and then have another event?

I get so tired of event after event. Some are too time consuming -- remember, some people do have jobs!

I got stuck with all the cards being a movement of 3 when i really needed a 1 to get to the prizes instead of only being able to get one prize and having to skip over the rest. also the tyches crown was on the 4th slot that i could not get to because of this. Next time can we have a reroll button of the cards that costs tokens?

Not bad, I enjoy the hike. The prizes were not a huge draw to me, but that allows for less pressure to have to complete the event. A nice break from that! I don't know if I like the shorter events or not. On one hand, it change things up, but on the other, it offers less forgiveness if you forget a day.
