Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

And they auto collect like the dollars and XP, right? I don't leave a town until the little window pops up so I can get that bonus XP, but I want to make sure they're not lingering and somehow I'm missing them.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Correct, you don't have to physically tap on them.

How do you get bonus XP?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Tap the buildings, get the cash and XP. Then, the little screen that pops up says you get 25 XP for visiting the friend's town. I've always taken that to mean that's a bonus XP on top of what you collect. True?

Has anyone else been having issues with server disconnects today?

I have intermittently, but especially just now. Can't connect at all. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm on work's wifi and I thought they got wise to this app.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I have, but I also seem to have had a problem lately where the first time I try to start up the app it tells me it can't connect to the server, then when I try again it works.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I've had problems today and last night (downloading--or maybe redownloading--335MB of updates). I did get in recently, though.

I also can't log in tonight. How am I supposed to hang out with a very angry Krusty?!

People who claim to have tested it say that you do not need to wait for that window. That the extra XP will be automatically collected along with everything else. I tap 3 buildings and tap the next arrow without waiting for the box. I've never taken the time to calculate the total XP to verify.

I haven't had any updates since level 43 on either iOS or Android. You might want to delete and do a fresh install when the next in-store update comes.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I used to not wait for the window but an update in the last few months made the auto-collect of cash and XP so fast that it's barely any wait at all. But yeah, I haven't tested it or looked it up, either.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I've never seen that mentioned on any site or under any tips. So while I haven't tested it myself I'm just going under the assumption that you don't get extra XP for waiting.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

You do get them, but at 25 extra points it rarely seems worth it.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I did a test. Wrote down the XP before and after.

Tapped 3x and moved on without waiting. XP gain 31.
Tapped 3x. Each tap produced 2XP. Popup said 25XP bonus. XP gain 31.

Amount of XP gained is exactly the same either way.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Just downloaded the 335MB update for the third time. I was traveling so I was lucky it happened on wifi.

I like being back in Krustyland, but the questline appears to be over. I might just go back to Springfield.

Don't see what you're talking about. Care to elaborate?

Too much land in KL, not enough in Springfield.

Same here. I actually opened the game and checked. I can only see trees and the freeway.

Oh, didn't realize you were referring to someone's Krustyland; thought you were referring to Krustyland in general.

Ugh, lame. Somehow, my "Confirm Donuts Spend" was turned off and I spent 4 donuts, all of which I'd earned earlier today: the 3 donuts I got via leveling up and the 1 from visiting friends (only my 3rd total from this) just now on the stupid Springfield Downs for a second race. Lame, lame, lame.
