Talk:Firefly Festival/@comment-24137507-20140717020729

All, I want to apologize to anyone I offended about my previous comment about how hard it is to get the "max" fireflies. I shouldn't have said "trying hard enough" and should have said more along the lines of "trying long enough". I just wanted to point out that one can achieve the max per day and for ME at least it isn't very hard.

I see on this and other game forums a number of people complain about how long something takes or how hard something is. As we all know App developers don't want to make it easy or else no one would buy the gems that help pay for the game.

I do stand by a couple things I stated...and these are based on my experiences over the past 4-5 days

Getting 40 fireflies from food. The past 4 days I have gotten the max in 10-15 minutes of constantly planting Dragonsnaps in all 11 plots. Based on that 4-day history I can say that at least on MY device it can be done in that timeframe. The first 26-28 seem to come within 5 minutes and the others within 10 minutes. Today I think I got 36 in 15 minutes of trying and then tried again a couple hours later and got the remaining 4 within a few minutes.

Getting 40 fireflies from Coins. This is similar to the food collecting. I try not to collect coins at night so that all my habitats are ready to collect in the morning. Doing all the ones in the morning seem to give me at least 24-30 of the daily 40. I then wait a couple hours and check back once the habitats build back up.

I do believe that some people have gems and don't want to spend them...I'm one of them. Right now I have 1,559 gems and I don't want to spend any unless I have to...yes, I am a gem hoarder. I did a simple spreadsheet based on getting 140 fireflies per day that tells me on what day I will get what prize. Right now the sheet says I will get the habitat on August 2nd. Because of this I am not going to use any more gems to speed breeding/incubation up. I have already written off getting the Twilight Tower since that will most likely require buying fireflies. My sheet does not include the double weekends that people are expecting so I will get the prizes earlier than expected if the double weekends happen.

I, just like CKid stated earlier, also play DV because it's fun and the graphics are great and will continue to play for a while.

Thanks for reading & I promise to voice my opinions more carefully so as not to offend anyone.
