WHAAAAAAAT I am IN.

After downloading: WOW, this artwork looks as shitty as that Zelda CDi game. I'm OUT.

4 gold egg boxes have yielded 3 pastel fences and a Kodos topiary. Screw you, Tapped Out RNG.

Not sure how random it is, it may be predetermined for you. By that I mean your list is already set the order your getting stuff in, it's probably different from other people. I did 7 blue boxes last night and got

300 gold
Egg pile
Fence
Pond
300 gold
300 gold
Fence

I did this with wifi off, closed the app, deleted the app, rebooted, then reinstalled the app. I did this 3 more times. On the fifth time I had wifi on and just kept what I got. Each time I got the exact same items in the same order.

:lol:

Also, if Jcheckel is right, that seems like lazy programming.

I think we've been spoiled by TSTO. :lol: But at least the art isn't as bad as the original Archie Marries... run. I'm playing now and trying to ignore the clunkiness. I just sent Archie and Betty to watch a movie at Veronica's house while she's at the Choklit Shoppe. :lol:

OK, back on topic. The frustration for me is the combination of low success algorithm and limited ways to get eggs. And I haven't gotten a basket in a couple days. :mad:

I suspect that it's intentional. They probably knew that some had been cheating on the previous wheels.

Hey toddarino, I'd suggest moving your pink basket farther away from your blues. I'm wary of tapping there for fear of hitting the wrong color.

Yeah, clearly they don't alter the algorithm--just another joke. I have to say that while I question EA's decisions, the game play and dialogue is still entertaining.

Does he actually do anything? He almost looks like a character skin.

I finished the second phase of the level 40 quest and was surprised
Spoiler:
that the chocolate character is actually usable and not just a NPC

I leveled up but somehow I stayed at 39 at the update. So I have to get to 40 again to open up Mrs. Hoover. Strange bug.

This easter thing is killing me....fences or easter gates if I have the damn gold eggs. No fabrege egg yet.

He does, he's got his own missions. I'm not sure if he has any unique animations though. But none of his missions give eggs.

If anybody is looking to drop blues, I have a ton of blue baskets.

Nice that it's a real character, though.

Just "blue" some your way. :)

Jcheckel 05-04-14 12:53 AM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I filled a ton of baskets of both colors. I used other means to get gold eggs, so I had no need for any of the pink or blue eggs anymore. I normally wouldn't have used the other means if they would've just let me use donuts to buy gold eggs, since I still have a ton of them that I got from the harp of death last year and playing with the Homer Buddha, but I'm glad to finally be done with this event. After I help my friend get the rest of the Easter stuff, I think I'm taking a short break until the next update.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Pink eggs have become useless to me, so if you want me to drop some pinks on you, just let me know.

Unfortunately, I'm out of blue baskets right now to accept eggs in return.

bippitty 05-04-14 01:36 AM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Just got the Egg Council Guy. I've got everything except Shary Bobbins, Hugs Bunny, and the Kodos topiary. I wish I had a few gold egg generators.

I read somewhere that there's supposed to be an option hidden in the code to sell gold eggs for donuts. Don't know if that would be still to come, or if it was something they planned to do but scrapped.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I got Jonny Fiestas this morning. Now the gold boxes can be my main focus.

Toddarino 05-04-14 09:13 AM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I'm done with the blue eggs as well. Ill still take pinks. Jason I can drop some blues as I get them once you get another basket.

davidh777 05-04-14 09:37 AM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I'd built up 4800 pink eggs then figured I should cash them in just in case I get the good stuff and need to change my focus (yeah, right :lol:). Here's what I got:

Five sets of 300 gold eggs
Two beach umbrellas
Three fences (now up to 35)
...and the Blocko store! :banana:

I cashed in my 1500 gold eggs for:

Kang topiary
250 blue eggs
Easter gate -ohbfrank-

So now I'm mixed. I'm out of good items in the pink box, but it still has the chances for the most gold eggs. What I really want is Johnny Fiestas in the blue box and all the characters in the gold box. Maybe I'll continue to collect both, but not trade in my blues for pinks anymore. I'll instead take shots at Johnny Fiestas then hope for gold eggs when I get pinks. So I do have a pink basket right now and will take eggs if people have them to burn (thanks!).

Thanks! As you noticed, my blue baskets got filled (thanks guys!), but I'll post here if I get more.

Meanwhile, I have no use for pinks, so if anybody has pink baskets they want filled let me know. I've just sort of been dropping them as I make my daily trip through my friends list, but I'd rather give them to an active poster here who affirmatively wants pink eggs.

Canis Firebrand 05-04-14 10:40 PM

Well. That was a round about way just now. I had 400 pink eggs. 499 blue eggs and 300 gold eggs. I got a rabbit and it gave me a blue egg. Traded in those and got 300 gold eggs prize. Traded in the gold eggs and the prize was 250 pink eggs. That put me over 500 pink. Traded in those and got the Blocko store. Now I don't have to worry about pink eggs any more and can swap them for blue. I still need the Johnny Fiesta from blue box. Then just the 2 characters from the gold box are all I care about.

kenbuzz 05-05-14 12:28 PM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I'm on Team Pink and have had little luck earning eggs or baskets. I've managed to get the Blocko Store, Hugs Bunny, and Banana Dictatorship... and a shitload of beach umbrellas. :)

I'd beg for eggs for my baskets, but I suppose I need to beg for baskets first. Lol. :)
