I made the choice from the beginning for a full bridge and played for that. I ended up with full bridge, a full Pagoda, an extra Pagoda base, an extra Pagoda upgrade, and three level 1 Sentinel Outposts. Regardless of the DS, I always played the most distance efficient animal, and ended up being able to do 3 extra jumps after getting the last bridge upgrade I needed.
All in all, a good event, but it was very tightly balanced. It appears that anyone who picked the 'wrong' animal based on distance just once or twice missed out on the last Bridge upgrade. I can see how anyone who didn't follow the event on Beta might be upset about their results.

I followed the event on beta though new nothing about which jump to pick and was very pleased with my results as I set a new high of 41 quests and a level four event building.I know that is not that high but it is a big jump form my last event results.

So I was only going for Wishing Wells so spent my currency on those two days, except for the little bit I earned after the second offering. Got lots of Wishing Wells, and enough upgrades for a level 8 bridge in 4 of my 6 cities. Built it in one low level (Iron Age) city, may build it in the other low level (Iron Age) city, but I'll have to see if I can justify using the room in my more advanced cities (OF, FE, 2CE). Since most of them are Diamond farms, Wishing Wells take priority.

You should have received it already. Check your messages and/or inventory.

Same here. In most worlds I had a few jumps left over after I got the last upgrade I needed, but on one I got it with my last jump. The difference had to be the amount of lanterns I got via Incidents.
Very true, you had to decide whether you wanted all the upgrades or not, and then choose correctly. It's unfortunate that there are resources out there to help figure that out but we can't refer to them here.

I don;t know, that;s why I asked.
Some folk are saying they didn't get the full bridge but the passion level is low, like they understand and accept it.
Compared to any other Event in the last few year.there's almost no accusations of ca$h grab$, few gripes about prizes, no ALL CAPS complaints, no overly exclamated 'I'm quitting!!!!!'.
See,s like he players are satisfied. Based on the Gold League minimums I saw, the Coiners (thank you!) came out in force .
Seems like a strong win for INNO., but doesn't 'feel' quite right to me. Purely subjective on my part. Which is what prompts my question.

Well, I've played this game for almost two years and this was the first even I was forced to spend diamonds in order to receive the full prize.
It could very well have been my luck. I was primarily focused on the DS but even then it was taking me ~1700 lanterns to get one prize even using the best chance/lantern animals. I ended up with a total of 5 DS prizes and short 900 diamonds.
I also noticed something very peculiar on my server. Bronze league ended at 8 completions while silver league ended at 9. In past events I have noticed a much higher disparity between bronze and silver leagues. I interpreted this as more people spending diamonds on the event. While this could have been a boon for Inno assuming bronze league players spent real $ on diamonds, the more likely scenario is that players dumped their free diamonds instead.

Finally, received.

I like the balance in this event. I think it's aimed at players who spend a few diamonds here and there - they can still get the full bridge, even if they make a few "non-optimal" choices along the way, like trying for a daily special. Players who spend lots of diamonds can get as many bridges as they want, of course. And as for players like me who don't buy diamonds, and try to avoid using them, we can still almost always get the full bridge if we really want to, by doing our homework and playing every day and staying disciplined about which animals we choose.

I waited til the Pagoda upgrades rolled around and got a brand new fully upgraded Earth Pagoda for each city..plus I got the bridge even though I placed in Bronze league. I like it when the grand prize is attainable by doing all the quests..those that want more pay for it..as it should be. Good event..next one please..

I enjoyed this event. On my main world, I did a mistake of only going for the white animals, so I had to buy the most expensive lantern pack to get a fully upgraded Bridge - no big deal, that's what I save Diamonds for. I also picked up some SOs and upgrades for them.
On my Diamond farm world, I focused on getting Shrink Kits instead of full sized WWs this time and got about 10 of them. I got some WWs as well, I was surprised they offered them for a second time.

I was pleased with the result. it took me a while to figure out what you would win for getting across, vs. winning Daily Special. Spent some diamonds to get a couple Upgrades, as my Incidents came up with very few Cherry Trees, usually 3 or 5 lanterns. I finally decided to go for only Bridge or Pagoda Upgrades, but then realized the grand Prize didn't change daily, you had to win it to "clear" it out for things you did want to win. So, spent some Lanterns to win things I didn't want to clear the way to win things I wanted. I did enjoy completing the Dailies for Lanterns, also enjoyed the few times that one thing would settle both Daily Quest and Spring Daily Quest. In my opinion, the Quests were just hard enough that some were a challenge, but none were completely unattainable.
Ended up with Silver League, 2 Bridges, one I will Upgrade all the way to one of the specials, other will be Level 4 or 5. And 2 Pagodas, with several levels up, plus one extra I will sell to A.D. later, prob. And, in the end, I was surprised when they included several Cherry Tree Selections, as I had one and was looking for more. I only won one extra, but a good extra for an unexpected Prize.
Also, I liked the slower pace, the St. Patrick's Day Event left my head spinning from watching my hats move from place to place, and felt like I had to monitor my progress almost non-stop to keep it from derailing. I felt like I could leave the Spring Quest alone for a few hours to have a life without it going awry. And come back when I had Lanterns for jumping.
I also appreciate the looks of the Bridge and Pagoda, as I err on the side of Good Looks for my city sometimes. I really like the park atmosphere, while still supplying large population and daily output. I dread the upper Eras, as I will miss the simple look of the paths and parks as opposed to 2 lane roads and modern buildings. But that's just personal taste... I'm happy I didn't win a bunch of ugly stuff I don't want to build!

I'm at a Loss here with this event! I went to bed at Silver with 9 trips and my kingdom said 9...
But it was at 10 when I woke up....
With only a few hours left I went to bed confident I did what was needed for the silver reward and that night it flipped the switch and expected me to buy another trip across... Seriously?
You saw 9 was the Silver also? They ROBBED a bunch of us from much needed and earned rewards..
Event was entirely weighted wrong based on the players available and the Curve effect from high school that the teacher applied.
There's no way to ensure your in Silver or any other reward without buying a bunch of diamonds and buying an extra trip across the pond?
There's no way to trust the rewards given because they won't list where you are specifically..
No cut off meter so I can lock in my reward or know I need to continue to progress...
They let you become confident then they screw you in the last few minutes of the event....
It's top loaded and whoever programmed this event didn't have the vision or drive to make it 100%...
I give it a 38% at best....

You weren't robbed, you just don't understand how leagues work. Leagues are not static. Amateur League is reached by the top 50% of players, the Bronze League by the top 20%, the Silver League by the top 5% and Golden League by the top 1%.
When you went to bed, you were in the top 5% of players with 9 crossings. While you slept, other players completed additional pond crossings shifting the Silver League to 10 pond crossings. So the top 5% of players on your world completed 10 pond crossings, bumping you down to the 20% of players who completed only 9.
If you feel you were screwed, it was the 5% of players who bought enough diamonds to make one additional crossing. It wasn't Inno. The rules of the leagues never changed. The results were what they were. 20% of the players on your world completed 9 crossings and achieved Bronze league, 5% of the players completed 10 to earn Silver, and 1% completed 11 or more landing them in Gold.
Sorry you missed out on what you thought you were getting, but you got what you earned. Nothing more, nothing less.

I understand what you're saying but there should be some way to know if I'm at danger at the end of the event timeframe...
I crossed the pond exactly like others....
I was Silver the Entire Time...
The exception - last few hours of the night...
I mean.. By now many players Exactly was I bumped by??? Was it 1 player?
I think I have the right to KNOW by how much I lost other than a Percentile...I
It's different if you have an active kingdom with Many players than it is if your Kingdom has less active players during an event.
If I'm in a game where I might need to PAY to lock in my reward... I prefer more transparency in my purchase!
You've given a great reply about getting what I earned...
But what about Earning some level of trust that this isn't going to happen to me Every event like this??
It's a statistic that I can figure out based on the numbers...
But I'll never know how to alter my game play to my advantage....
Examples of this In the game already??? You ask?
Yes there are! What a great question!
Spending fps to gain prints for any GB...
We get to see what other players have donated(How many trips across line by how many players)
I can do the math and know that my purchase using extra in game currency will result in my expected outcome...
This should be READILY AVAILABLE and not a general percentage and percentile result...
It RIGS the game for specific event purchases JUST to ensure your awarded a specific level....
It doesn't have anything to do with what I Earned!!!
Earned... No one earns what they earned!
It's about how many times I got additional event rewards in my kingdoms and if they were a measly 3.... Or a great 100....
That makes a difference.... Even though completely random.... And some only get 5 or less an event in my experience and I'm an active player...
Those lessen a trip, that factored with the Fear of losing my position....
If I'm 1 in 100 or 1 in 10,000... Etc...
These also happen in Guild vs Guild warfare... There's no Earned! It's bought and Paid for!!
all I ask is that I can see the specifics and the numbers... Where did I land....
So I can determine if this will be my continual future in this game/kingdom....
Do I need to pay for the extra level EVERY time for this event??
If I'm being boxed out of extra rewards every time just because of this being @ 5.01% or was I farther out???
5.99% or did I get bumped to 25%
This event has done this in the past and history repeats.. I won the bridge anyways and always top out for my event buildings so that's not the issue at hand.. It's about being able to know securely that I won't play an event for nearly a month only to find out in the last few minutes I won't be bought out of place...
The results for the game should be posted somewhere so I see EXACTLY how many players and my exact percentile...
Also for you to think someone doesn't understand the Event just because they don't write everything in the rules that is wrong just tells me your thinking the feedback was wrong for me to have given....
I feel the "Curve"(maybe chose the wrong term, should have just said the result) in an active kingdom is entirely different than in an inactive kingdom.
I should be able to know what percentage I was out of HOW many players are active in the event.
This way I can make an EARNED decision to purchase an additional trip across the pond with enough diamonds to cost upwards of $50 to $100
Replace everything I've said with Transparency.... Can I Earn that??? Give the specific numbers so I can see where I was...
Please and thank you!

The game shows you the full league table throughout the entire event. To access this just click on the icon that tells you the league you are in. The league table shows the range for each league (and where you are at currently). This is as much information as they can give.
You see, the game has no idea how many players will decide to spend diamonds at the last minute. How can they give you an accurate warning about something they cannot predict any better than you?
...Until other players spent their event currency at the last minute and surpassed you. You got the reward you deserved. Why are you clearly upset about this when it is obviously fair?
Then you don’t need to make a purchase. Nobody is forcing you.
Besides, this is how games are supposed to work. It’s like a casino (but with much better odds). You pay for a chance to win. You know going in that you might not get the desired outcome. If you do, great. But if not, nobody is cheating you.
This is how the game makes its money. You could have stayed up late at night yourself and bought event currency at the last minute to ensure your position, but you chose not to. The game isn’t rigged. Other players simply took advantage of an opportunity you passed by (or simply spent more diamonds than you). Nothing wrong with that.
I know that not getting the reward you thought you had in the bag sucks, but that doesn’t mean that something is unfair. You can’t win at every game you play, even ones you spend money on.
