Overall, this was a pretty decent event.

I loved the pinata divines (especially how they looked like actual pinatas of the divines they represented). I have mixed feelings on the decorating mechanic instead of smashing, but I liked that we weren't bashing cute animals to death this time.

The event was able to be finished for free if you started on time, completed objectives promptly, and logged in frequently enough to ensure the meter didn't fill, so that is a huge plus. There were a few nice prizes in the free version too.

The premium key is, strictly speaking, worth the passes, but I refuse to participate in the pay-to-play model so I didn't purchase it.

I'm disappointed in the divine - I talked about the proportional and direct worth of the Equus prize in preprod, so I'll not rehash it here except to point out that is worth way less than is expected based on the other two divines in the series, both in quantity and type of currency.

Overall this was a pretty standard Piñata event.

I can't decide if I like the fact we're now making instead of destroying the Piñatas or not, but its a cute change.

Also, out of all the Piñata companions, I feel these are the best - much more game related than the others [plus. It's fun giving various horses a mini-me]

Overall, I'd give this run a 4 out of 5

I've never struggled with the piñata events in the past, but for some reason I was not able to finish this one despite doing all the objectives, never letting my charge bar get filled so I didn't loose any, and getting help from friends. As someone who believes all these events should be completed by not using passes, I never buy any extra hits, I am wondering how many others were unable to finish as well despite doing all the same because I don't think you should only be able to finish an event because you bought extra points or because you have to rely on all your friends also helping you as those should never be what get you to your goal, but what help you get to your goal faster. Not only were the low tier prizes not entirely worth getting, but also not even getting the end prize because of a seemingly rigged system really makes these events not enjoyable. default smiley :(

Easily one of my favorite events in a while. Definitely my favorite Piñata event. The new companions were delightful and appealing, I liked we were building them up, and the Premium Key felt worth the prizes this time.

Loved it!

I really like the new companions, compared to the previous ones which I just couldn't stand anymore. I also like the fact that we won't wake up our horses each day with dead pinatas!

Prizes were good imo! Bought the key for the very first time. It's nice to have a divine in the end default smiley :)

I’m glad we were making piñatas this time. Last time especially their expressions changed

The Premium prizes were actually pretty good this time, and well worth the 600 passes.

The theme of using divines for the Pinatas was excellent. The designs were cute, and it was also nice to get something horse themed for once.

I don't actually care either way whether we "make" pinatas or break them, although it is a bit odd to not break them, when breaking is the whole point of a pinata. You wack them, and bust them open.

Great event, decent prizes and the key was well worth the 600 passes (for the extra fragments alone really) - although I feel we are absolutely bogged down with companions, I have to admit this set are super cute and I like that they are based on the divines.

I actually bought the key on a couple of the regional servers too, and was able to comfortably complete the event.

On the US server I didn't buy the key, but did require purchasing 2 lots of extra hits to ensure finishing. To be fair I probably missed at least one of those hits on the start day, by starting several hours late and if I had been able to immediately activate the shorter spans between hits, rather than the following morning/evening and been able to utilise today's daytime hits I could have probably finished for free.

Just waiting for tomorrow's objectives now as I need 2 more fragments for the art divine!

As others stated it was nice to build the pinatas instead of destroying them with the hit.

I bought the premium key and thought it was worth the cost for the prizes. default smiley (y)

I played as often as I could and didn't have to spend extra passes to complete the event. default smiley (y)

Thanks for the cute artwork and change to build the pinata. Overall a fun event. default smiley :d

I generally love the pinata events!

However, I live in a time zone that is very behind the server time, and even more so now that savings time has ended where I live. The event started overnight and ended at 7am (for me) this morning, which meant I had over half a "day" in game of missing out on the event.

This was far too short of an event to let everyone in all the time zones fully participate! Given that this is the extension of the "anniversary" event/celebration, it should also be accessible for everyone to participate if they log in regularly -- even if they're in different time zones. And especially on the international server.

While I enjoy the pinata competitions, I'm tired of my huge stockpile of pinata companions.

That said, these companion prizes were brilliant, fun, & well done. Good job to whoever came up with the idea.

Not personally a fan of the piñatas as pets but the rest of the prizes were great. The pay for more prizes were a great selection too. I’m looking forward to trying to finish my gemstone collection with that last prize default smiley (l)default smiley :)

The piñatas were super cute! I would have liked to have seen more changes in the piñatas as we decorated them though.

I thought the key was well worth the cost and I am glad I bought it because I let the meter fill up a few times.

Thanks for a good event, Howrse!

I liked this event. One has to remember to log in one more time before going to bed or work so your metre doesn't fill up when you are away.

I like the event. I was able to complete the event. I love getting a Divine at the end.
I hate the events where you finish it and only get one of the trophies. Like in the last event.

I enjoyed this event! I spent 100 passes at the end to get the last extra hits i needed, so glad I was able to get finished without missing out I even ended up buying the premium key which I wasn't going to but I like the stary aurora's. I seem to be the only one on the game that likes companions default smiley xd sorry not sorry!

My top tip for anyone in different times zone(I'm in NZ & get caught out sometimes too) even if your not going to buy extra hits or clicks or whatever(each events slightly different), when you've run out of clicks hot that buy extra clicks & it usually(when nearing the end of events) comes up with a count down which makes life easier i knew i only had 8 hours left last night when I came on so I brought my extra clicks otherwise I'd have gone to bed & missed out on the last piñata. I like that they put a special on the clicks during the last couple of days off an event.

Thank you mods I liked this one! I wish we could do more objectives to get through faster even if it were like 3 for the first half just to get that ball rolling because it does feel a little slow during the first few days that's my only complaint default smiley <:o)

I liked this a lot more than the last piñata event! I didn't like how you could see them getting hurt before

I don't know why, but I couldn't complete the event completely. Perhaps I missed 1 or 2 shots at the beginning, but my gap from the final was not 10-60 points (1-2 missed shots at the very beginning), but as many as 1000 (!) points. It is unlikely that my friends could have made so many points if all the requests for help had been accepted, I have no idea where they went. I was going to pay 600 passes for the final key, but I changed my mind when I did the math and realized that it took twice as many punches to finish as I had left default smiley :'(

Really loved the artwork and click mechanism for this version of the piñata event. The designs were so cute, and I'm glad we didnt actually have to beat them up to complete each one! I finished the event with zero passes spent and was very happy that I received the new divine as well.

I finished 3 days before it ended,without passes so easily done.. I did buy the bonus prizes mainly for the fragments which I ended up not needing after all. Smashing is more authentic but building is fine as well. Cute art work. Overall an easy one to finish even when the bar filled up when I was unable to log on a couple times.

I have to say i'm furious right now. The timestamp on the event post said i had until 2pm today to finish my event, it's 7.40am now and the event is already over. default smiley :@ Do better howrse. I have now wasted a stack of passes that i could have used on black friday and didn't even get the divine because you gave me false information.

So, upon calming down and further investigation, it may have been 2 am it was supposed to be finished. Mia Culpa, but perhaps add a note for dumb people like myself that the timestamp is written in 24 hour time to avoid disappointment. If I had of known it finished at 2am i would have spent the extra passes to finish it off before I went to bed last night instead of leaving it for the meter to fill up.
