Very cool glitch today. I tried taking a picture of it, but pressed the buttons in the wrong order and ended up turning the game off instead of getting the screen snapshot. :smack: dammit!
Anyway, i have a bunch of pine trees that are just put randomly in an empty square of land. When I moved over to that part of my town today, they were all turned into soldiers, with their backs to me, and they all had rifles. It looked like they were on patrol, as there was one man on point, and other men flaring out behind him. They were all the same characters, and they were all facing the same way. Very odd.
The soldiers, or whatever they were, were not from this game, as far as I know. I have no idea what game they would be from, as I don’t play any army type games on my iPad.
If anyone else has seen this one, or reads about it anywhere, let me know. This was a very cool thing to see, although what purpose it served is anyone’s guess.
I also had a glitch today where someone graffitied moe’s, but when I cleaned up the writing, I didn’t get a friend point. What the fuck?
Today, for the first time in forever, I was able to add a friend by sending a request,
So, if there is anyone who would like to be my friend on tapped out, send me a PM with your origin name. As soon as I am able, I will try to send you a request. One person accepted my request today, so i know it worked from their side as well.
I know i have not added a number of folks that have joined in the last 3-4 months, so if this g,itch is fixed on my iPad, I’d like to add folks while I can. I am not going to go through the list, however, and try to figure out who i have and don’t have. So if you know that you don’t have me (68XR7G) as a friend, send me your screen name in a PM to me on this message board, and when I get my request to get through from my end, I’ll send you a reply.
Has anyone else been having issues with other people not having anything to click on? Out of my (guessing at numbers) 45 towns, I’d say that 10 of them don’t have anything to click on.
I don’t remember if it started during the last event, but it’s still going on with the Friend Points. I’m wondering if I removed and resend the request for the people I’m having problems with, if that will fix it. OTOH, I normally, stop going to towns when I get to about 4 points and that happens well before I finish out my friend list.
OTOOH, I might need it straightened out for the next event.
Those are probably inactive players. Once everything has been clicked, it doesn’t reset until the player clears it (which, incidentally, is was killed the multiple tiles/corn/etc.)
I deleted anyone who didn’t at least have Valentines Day junk in their Springfield, but some others seem to have stopped right after V-Day.
I did a big cull around Valentine’s Day and now I am finding more that don’t seem to be active. I cut about 15-20 and I think I need another 5-10 to go. Lots of friend space opening up, it would seem. Too bad I don’t see that many new players to add…
Question for you all. Where did the little bridges that I see in some Springfield’s come from? I have never seen them as an item to buy, and it would be very helpful to have them to make use of water in my town. If you have those little archways, you can have
Roads pass over the water and it looks good. My water only can look like a ditch filled with water, a small hole or a big hole. They all look ugly.
I’ll add to the neighbor’s discussion. There is a way to check to see the last time someone has played their game. So, when I got into my friends list, I looked at everyone that wasn’t at level 39. I was able to delete 25 or so people that hadn’t played in weeks. I didn’t delete anyone that had played within the last week or two. But if it was longer than two weeks, I just removed them. Today, when I went through my friends, i only hit two towns that didn’t have anything to tap. That made a huge difference in time, because I didn’t have to search everyone’s towns for something to tap. There was usually something close to the entry point.
Thanks! How cool is that? I have been looking for them for weeks, and I couldn’t find them anywhere in the game, or in any of the forums. I thought they were from an event that I must have missed, or maybe they were a premium item.
I went to a few of the tips forums, but i came up empty there as well. I guess i wasn’t searching on the correct name.
I would have never tried putting a road over water, so thanks for filling me in. Woo hoo!
Does anyone know if it will be available on all devices, or will this just be on android devices?
It would seem that another company (TinyCo) is developing the family guy version. Do they have any other games and if so, are they stable? I’ve never heard of them, but they can’t be any worse than EA’s development team.
So I mentioned before my XP meter didn’t reset to a reasonable level with the 39 update. I wrote to EA and never got an email back. I finally checked back and they had written me fairly soon after and basically said “Sorry about that. Everyone’s FP were messed up by the meter, but you still collected them.”
So I wrote back “Gee thanks, but it was my XP meter. Can you maybe look into that instead?” I attached pictures of the day before and after and everything.
That’s my pro tip of the day: take a snapshot of your device every time you get donuts. I don’t know if it will help if someone gets into your town and spends them all, but it won’t hurt.
I finally won 5 donuts popping balloons in Krustyland. Totally unexpected, I had no idea how donuts would actually be given out on that game.
But you pop a balloon, and the famous punk donut appears with a “5”. Straightforward enough.
For the longest time (until someone in this read explained it) i thought donuts were given out each 200 times the balloon pop game was played. But that’s not the case. The odds of you winning donuts are about 1/200. Big difference.
I had the same issue. Forgot how I eventually figured it out, but I also tried looking elsewhere for the answer. But, after building for 38 levels, I finally got it.
I wrote EA about my XP meter not resetting. They told me they fixed FP. I wrote them back saying it was XP, not FP.
Today’s eye roll drama was I got a message back and they said “sure, you FP are fixed. They were always collecting. It just wasn’t visible.”
I couldn’t contain the snark when I wrote them for the third time along the lines of “Look, could one of you people actually read what I wrote? XP, not FP. XP XP XP XP!”
If they can’t fix it, I can deal to a certain extent. But JFC, they’re not even reading what I write and I attach screenshots and everything.
If I get the same message again, I think I’m going to have to just start a new ticket and 'shop my screen shots with big red “Look at my xp meter!” circles.
And yet another Homer-centric storyline, of course occuring right after I set everyone up on day-long jobs. Homer’s a pain because he’s always the first on the ‘unoccupied persons’ list (upper left corner) but if other characters need him for their jobs…and I like to keep everyone on the same clock. At least Lisa shows up before the Flanders’ kids, so if I’m doing 8-hour jobs I’m unlikely to screw that up. I have to now remember to keep Bart free for Stampy if doing 12-hour jobs, and of course keep Ned free if doing 8-hour jobs.
I’m cheesed off. I bought the gypsy fortunenteller’s shop because it looked like it came with the ghost of Maude. NOPE! 25 donuts down the drain…
In other news, I installed Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff. It uses FaceBook as a friend finder, rather than a separate (Origins style) account. I should probably start a separate thread for it, but any takers for neighbors?
Maude does come with the Fortune Teller shop. It was supposed to cost 150 donuts but they mislabeled it as 25 donuts when they first released the update. (They released a hotfix update to change the price.)
Protip: you can change the order that characters appear in the character finder by storing them. (Of course this doesn’t help with Homer and Lisa.) If you want Bart to always appear after Stampy, store and replace the treehouse and now he’ll be last to appear in the character finder.
