Oh, okay. Whew! I met my soccer ball obligation. I'm done with them.

Yeah, I took one for the team as well.

Right now the Community is at 869,189 and earning 7 per second
We need 110,800,000 just to reach the first prize
That's 15.7 million seconds, or just under 6 months
There are 15 days left in the event..... EA vastly underestimated our willingness/ability to buy balls.

Good news, everyone--we're now up to 1.3 million balls! Only 109 million to go! :banana:

Right now, my primary four players are at 4.5 stars each, so once I max them out I might buy more balls. That's a lot of effort just for a chance to get 10 donuts, though.

I wouldn't personally buy any more balls. The counter seems pretty regular and goes up in regular 4 or 5 ball intervals. I doubt it is actually counting the number of balls the community is purchasing. I would assume that EA will come in and tweak the updates like they supposedly did last time to ensure the community gets some/all of the prizes.

Good news, everyone! We're now up to 1.8 million balls, which means we're... still 109 million away. rotfl So for the last two days (which should've been about peak time as people were chasing the questline), we've been moving about half a million per day, which is still around the six months that kenbuzzz estimated. :lol:

I agree that EA could be "reporting" whatever numbers they want and we'd never know the difference. Since they're so far off-goal, I'd guess that they ARE accurate for now. Whether the numbers pick up (real or not), we'll see.

:up:, and we're over halfway there.

I lucked into finishing my daily task when someone came into my town and lost a game. :lol:

Back after about a month away from the game. I'll get to tapping ASAP.

Now it is saying the donuts are unlocked, the count is gone, but the donuts are still locked.

Hmm, I'm still seeing the counter at 2,032,339 out of 3,266,000.

It's about damn time. ;)

Yeah, now its back... weird :shrug:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Now that I am close to finishing act 2, I sort of wish that I didn't upgrade as many players as I did. I could have just saved the AB's for crafting the few items that I want and save the rest for soccer balls.

The soccer balls are cheaper too, not sure if someone mentioned that.

Wow, from 500 per to 40. :eek:

I wanna rebate!

Can I price match the dumbass soccer ball I bought? Jeez

According to TSTOtopix.me, the first Community Prize trigger has just been met. If you haven't logged in yet today, there should be 10 Donuts waiting for you.

At noon today:
3,277,450 (Trigger was 3,266,000)

Current accumulation rate is 31 Sports Balls/sec

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
The second prize is the original 110 million. :lol: At least the balls are still cheap, though.

Thanks for the reminder. I visited your town and threw a soccer ball at your head. ;)
Did I hit you?

kenbuzz 07-09-15 05:15 PM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I've seen exactly one. If it was from you, thanks!

I logged in yesterday and collected by 10 Community Donuts. And, for some reason, I got them again today just an hour ago. Cha-ching! I've also unlocked all 5 of the Act 2 prizes, and in less than 36 hours I'm only a few hundred caps away from my SECOND Donut Bonus. Getting 3000 caps for a shot at 1-3 Donuts is easy when each fan coughs up 20 on top of the daily first win bonus and the 200-300 I'm getting from my 2 Tap Ball games every 4 hours or so.

Got the extra 10 donuts as well. :up: Also finished up the act 2 prizes, and Tennis Marge gives me two complete ball teams.

Great news everyone! there seems to be a Futurama game on the horizon ...

I never did get around to playing the Family Guy game.

you aren't missing much ... "events" that are just about impossible to complete unless you buy clams. They have quests where you need items to complete - labeled common, rare, and "not a fucking chance" ... they just ended one this afternoon and are already starting another. at least The Simpsons makes it so you can complete events with regular gameplay. I feel like this is just a cash grab

Read their facebook page ... they have taken the whole freemium idea to an absurd level

What exactly does the soccer ball do? And thanks for whomever tossed one in my town.
