i'm still just getting about 9 collectables per spawn. I guess if I tear down all my buildings I would get more......I could just quit too!!!

It appears that when you click on a pumpkin collectible, if it rewards you with 2 or 3 pumpkins, it still only counts as 1 towards the achievement for finding 10/50/100 pumpkin collectibles.
At the current rate I don't think that would allow a lot of people to complete that achievement even if they gather all collectibles.
Since the event started on Tuesday, US time zones, and it is now Sunday, we are on the 6th day of the event. The event countdown is over 15 days. With 2-3 spawns per day, there should have been 11-17 spawns of collectibles since the event started. While there is still a random number generator in play, there should be some normalization with this sample size. Assuming a more-or-less constant rate, one would need to collect just over 25% of the pumpkins for the achievement; call it 14 of 50 to safely get to the first bar or 25-30 to complete the full 100.
As far as I know, there is no way to boost the number of collectibles or pumpkins, and they are still only counting as one instance for the achievement metter even though they have changed the actual number of pumpkins gained to 1-3 per spawn instance. Despite this, I have already reached 52 pumpkins on my Zeus account and 47 on Ares. Assuming a generally consistent rate, I should have a fairly safe margin for completing the achievement.
As usual, we tend to forget these goals are achievements, rather than something simple to do. Honestly, the pumpkin collectibles seems to be the only set in the group that actually may require some actual effort. The one for the placement of tricks can be done in a day with minimal effort, the golem watering depending only on time for the spawns, and the pumpkin master quest can be completed just by placing the pumpkin patches and waiting. There may be some challenge for players to kill their own golems, assuming that their friends are not killing them already for their own achievement, but there is a 25% excess there as well. And unlike the achievements in the previous event, you do not even need to have purchased specialists to meet the goals.
Going back to my BK now. Maybe if more time was spent playing and less whining about it, it would go more smoothly.
11 spawns here, 22 pumpkins. Avg: 2 pumpkins per spawn, several spawns have been totally pumpkinless. Unless the rate picks up, it is entirely likely that I will not reach 100. I am not alone in this low drop rate.Originally Posted by Aurboth
calling something an "achievement" doesn't mean a whole lot if it is literally impossible to do. Either enough pumpkins spawn in the allotted time frame or they don't. It has nothing to do with player ability or amount of time spent playing and everything to do with random number generation and poor developer planning
perhaps more time spent playing and less whining about others whining would make that more obvious
Maybe only the people that are getting few pumpkins are complaining... because I'm at 37/100 and I generally am only able to log on for one spawn a day.
I am on probably 8 hours every day, constantly from 6:30pm - 11:30pm. Today's 2 spawns netted me a total of two pumpkins. I now have 23.
No Pumpkins from co-ops
I completed 2 co-ops today (the Siege and Lakeside Treasure) received no pumpkins from either one
I am having same issue though I have been tracking my count since I noticed it and I have collected a total of 107 pumpkins yet only have it reading as 46/50 collected. I was hoping it would be corrected or at least a response on board but since neither have happened I am placing my post here with yours so you know your not alone W1lson.
ok, I looked on some ppl's islands and they are getting mad collectables. I still get at the most 12, and have not spammed my island with deco to block spots. at almost a third of the way into the event I have found 27 pumpkins, no way I'm finishing the quest, and I SEARCH my island for collectables. so I might get 2 or 3 in a spot but it's not helping to finish this quest. and I am on a lot.
