Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

If anyone is trying to get pink eggs, please fill my basket with your blues. I honestly think that they're going to extend this, but if they don't, ah well.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I don't recommend cashing in donuts for gold eggs, I cashed in 50 donuts and I won 4 ponds and 5 fences... screw that!

That's why I'm hesitating. Those gold boxes would still have the same crappy odds that have shut me out of the characters thus far.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I opened 10 gold boxes after purchasing the eggs. I did get the Father but the rest was shit. I have around 5 Kang topiaries. Still missing Hugs and Bobbins. Birthed a suckler today. 2 more to go.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I just dropped two blue baskets if anyone has some last minute eggs to get rid of.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Lol, I cashed in 500 more blue eggs to get ... gold eggs. I cashed in 500 gold eggs to get ... 2 pieces of fence. Putting me at 49 pieces of fence. Sigh

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Against my better judgment, I cashed in 50 donuts for gold eggs and got two topiaries and a load of crap. One more blue box got me to 450 gold eggs, so I bought 550 more and got fences and... Father Sean. So that's something. While it probably wasn't a good use of donuts, it would have bugged me if I hadn't at least given it a shot.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out -- Easter is Over

App update now available on the Apple app store (Play and Kindle seem to follow at various times); takedown of the Easter event, no new content.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

In one final fuck you, it looks like I'm going to end this event with 49 fence pieces.

No chance of another box before updating?

It's pretty unlikely. I guess it depends when they force the update. I'm at 418 pink eggs right now.

No Sharry Bobbins for me. I wasn't close with fences. I think I have 31..... For the awful way this event was handled, they should give everyone that's active the highly sought after items that you didn't get from each box.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

They'll probably "let" us buy them with donuts.

For all the money they make off this game, I hope like heck that they monitor the play and abandon rates and realize this was a colossal fail.

That said, I did enjoy releasing the bunny carrots and letting them run into a wall of electricity.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Blah... Well.. slightly less blah than usual.

I had a bunch of pink eggs that I was able to trade in other towns for blue eggs. That got me to 510 blue eggs.. Got a blue box and it gave me 300 gold eggs. Traded in those and got bunny #24601.

At least it wasn't a beach towel or something stupid.

I'm considering spending of the donuts I was able to save up for gold eggs hoping to get Sharry Bobbins. Does she have actual tasks or is she like the Squidport characters that don't have any tapable tasks?

That makes me laugh.. ok.. now I really want that character. Guess it might not hurt to use 25 donuts to get 1700 gold eggs.. that'd give me 3 chances at her.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Now we can start complaining about the new update. Many people, including me, are finding that the game has become very choppy since updating. iOS and Android.

yeah, me too. I also gave 50 donuts for some gold eggs but I rationalized it by saying they gave me 15 donuts for the 50 fences and I scored quite a few donuts recently through tapping on neighbors and cleaning up radioactive waste and the level ups. It was close to 50 donuts that I got from the event so I can sorta of feel okay about it. Ended up with Father Sean and more eggs/trees. I really wanted the Blocko building. I really hate this random prizes and low egg producing options.

You need at least to have opened 20 gold boxes before she becomes available at a 2% chance according to some of the pages. She is guaranteed at 80 boxes so that is around 400 donuts (maximum assume worst case), the most expensive character yet.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Well... so much for considering spending donuts for gold eggs.. I forgot about it earlier while at work and my apps don't auto update over cellular network. As soon as I got home and my phone hit my wi-fi, it updated all my apps.. Tapped Out included.. So I no longer have all the Easter stuff.. oh well... that way I can save my donuts now..... At least I only missed one item that I wanted.. I know others are worse off and got maybe 1 item they wanted in total.

Damn...I shouldn't have updated then and made one more try for her. Crap.
