Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

47 fences now...no Johnny Fiestas, no Chirpy/Bart Jr, no Father Sean, Bobbins....I'm tempted to pick up the 5500 gold eggs.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

FML: I start the game this morning and begin clearing out bunnies, only to realize I didn't start a new crop of carrots last night.

To add some insult, I got $250 cash in my weekly mystery box.

On the good side, thanks to those who filled my baskets overnight.

I'm pretty much in the same boat: No Fiestas, and no gold box characters. I just know that if I buy the eggs, I'll get the same old crap.

Cashed in four blue boxes:

Three fences (now up to 46)
Pond
200 gold eggs

Cashed in one pink box:

300 gold eggs

Used those eggs on a gold box:

Easter gate

Not a lot of baskets out there.

I've only ever encountered a few and they are hard to take advantage of because they seem so rare. It's almost like this time EA really wanted people to spend donuts and/or real money to buy donuts to buy baskets and eggs. The past events didn't seem this bad and the event items were easier to get. This event just seems like a big mistake.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

It's like they looked at how horrible the v-day wheel was and decided to see how they could make it worse.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Yeah, I have three pink baskets open now.

Cashed in two blue boxes for three fences (up to 49) and a pond.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I wasn't very lucky in this event. A lot of gold tickets, that got me nothing. And I think I got more than 8 Easter ponds. And a lot of decorations. Oh well.

At least I'm going to get my first baby Spuckler in 5 days.

You're welcome.

Later tonight I'll do a run through of my list and fill any baskets I come across.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Thanks to nuttaro and others for some more drops (only one blue basket ATM).

Three blue boxes and four pinks later, I have 900 gold eggs, another tree, another egg pile, and three more fences, which pushed me to 52 and the 15-donut payout. I'm sort of tempted to parlay those and the other donuts from this event into the load of gold eggs.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

This event is tedious and frustrating. EA screwed up trying to drain more donuts but instead pissed off a lot of people. So many people on the neighbor list are becoming inactive. I don't blame them at all.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Finally got Johnny Fiestas!

Since Egg Council Guy isn't worth pursuing, I guess all I have to try for is gold eggs since I haven't gotten any of those characters yet. Trying for those is going to really expand my collection of trees and umbrellas.

Yes! I'm five days away as well!

I wonder how many people started Brandine going three months ago and have long since abandoned the game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I just turned 500 Blue eggs into 300 Gold eggs. I then spent 500 Gold eggs to win 250 Pink eggs (and I have all the pink prizes). Screw you, Tapped Out.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Four blue boxes, trying to get gold eggs: 100 gold eggs, fences, egg pile, Egg Council guy

One pink box, trying to get gold eggs: Beach umbrella

Two gold boxes: 250 pink eggs, pastel fences. Still don't have any of the three characters, but I've "won" everything else in there.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

5 ponds, 6 easter egg piles, 47 fences, 3 gates. Stupid game. I have all of the pink prizes, and the egg council guy, the Banana Dictatorship and one of the topiaries. I'm more irritated than I've ever been. Close to dropping it entirely.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I'm thinking tonight I might cash out the donuts I have on gold eggs (only 35). If I get Sherri and the priest, I might continue with this game. If not, I'll reconsider.

It's kept me entertained for nine months. That's more than I can say for most console games.

I might get the large gold package. While I hate to "reward" EA for this event, I haven't gotten any of the gold characters yet, and it'd be 50 donuts for nine tries. Yes, it's likely I'll just get garbage, but if I get even one character, it'd be cheaper than spending donuts on them after the event. It sort of makes sense to me. The fact that I've gotten these 50 during the event through various means makes me feel better about it as well.

Got Bobbins and the Kodos topiary. Now I can save up the remaining eggs for passing EA execs.

Wish I could give some away. Think I have 17 pink baskets and not a blue basket to be seen.
