The Halloween event has started. Format is the now usual 4 x mini-event. More interesting: If you’re looking to boost your bonus %, head to the store and buy wailing walls: +2.25% for 1000$. ---

Awesome catch, I just bought some and I’ll get some more here. I’m currently at 520.80% OK more now, I just added a couple rows of wailing walls, does the bonus in Tapped Out top out? ---

Just increased my bonus from 1,650% to 2,598%. Will probably go to 5k% for shitz and gigglez. ---

I bought enough to go up 1800% but it looks hideous. I’d buy more but it’s too ugly even for me. I don’t know why I need four digit % when the game is clearly on its last legs. I think it was just a matter of principle. ps the event sucks. Not like terrible, but just boring and blah and a disappointment for what used to be my favorite time of year. ---

Thanks to y’all I more than doubled my bonus percentage before I got bored placing the damn walls. I figured I’d do some more tonight, but I can’t, of course. But anyway, I agree that the game has lost it’s charm and the events are underwhelming. And the Bart screen sucks – pops up way too frequently. ---

I went from 1600% to 3500%. Now effectively get 1 donut for every Kwik E Mart harvested. ---

Week 2 of the Halloween event starts today, including new 50-donut each “mystery boxes” featuring about 6 halloween-themed characters (assuming you don’t have them- it may be more, depending on your progress). ---

Money does top out incidentally, as I recently found it in my game, at 4,294,967,295, which is 2^32-1. ---

I’m on my way there, Folly. This event is awfully easy. But at least we’re getting some characters out of it. I haven’t seen the Bart screen for a couple of weeks, so I hope that’s been fixed. ---

It’s not just you. It’s as if they’re taking bits and pieces from different events and trying to jam them together. ---

New Christmas storyline just dropped. It starts with a 6 second task with Death scaring Grampa then it has the typical 4 hour collection tasks. ---

I guess this is what events will be until the game suffers the equivalent of heat death of he universe… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-tapped-out/643231.md?page=309) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-tapped-out/643231.md?page=311)
