The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Looks like they changed the social battle requirements. I logged in and it jumped me from level 2 to level 6, giving me all the prizes in-between.

There’s also new stuff in the store that I want: Lincoln, Washington, Presidential Estate, a geyser. I’m going to have to work on leveling up because that’s a lot of donuts.

Yeah, when I logged in last night I got three prizes. I went to TSOAddicts and they said EA lowered the overall requirements from 115 felon battles to 77 so we all should have been bumped up a bit.

Also I don’t like the fighter guy you can buy for 120 doughnuts. Well, more precisely I don’t like what EA did with him. It’s sneaky underhanded trickery bullshit. They make him appear at the top of your list of fighters every time and they put the button to buy him in the same spot as the button to select a fighter. When I go to select a fighter I look for the type I need and not the character itself and there was a couple of times I wanted a jock and almost pushed the button to buy him. But luckily as I was moving my finger over to buy him I realized what I was doing.

Like I said they’re intentionally trying to trick us in to buying him. Fucksticks.

Oh look a new shiny.

They added a “quick battle” button.

So I tried it out. It automates the fight for you and ends the fight practically immediatley. The problem is, which it tells you after you use it, that it doesn’t switch out fighters or heals. Each fighter plays until they die. I still won but I don’t like that. I don’t let any fighter die. At worsetest I’ll let them get down to one heart so that four hours later when I can fight again everybody’s healed.

So after the fight I went and looked at my fighters and two were completely drained and the third still had 3 hearts. So I won’t be using this feature again.

Works well though with the intentionally lose one fighter at a time strategy.

So I’m a new player and I guess I’m the slow one because I can’t figure out how to do felon fights. I’ve literally done only one felon fight, which was a tutorial one with Pieman and Fallout Boy. I did win ClownFace so I should have a team of three heroes to fight felons with, but I try to click on Orphan Alley and it doesn’t do anything and none of the heroes have a “fight felons” task.

I hear people talking about a fight button, where is that?

Also, can anyone with just an EA account let me know if you can make friends with that or if you have to link with Facebook(I don’t have a Facebook acct). Can we basic players set up friends and visit friend’s towns?

If you have a felon fight available, you should see a little fist icon in the upper right with a number inside of it indicating how many felon gangs you have roving around. Alternately, if you see a felon gang roving around with a fist floating above them, you can tap the fist.

Felons generate from orphan alley every 4 hours.

You can search for friends to add through an EA origin account. I think? I haven’t done it in forever. There’s a list of people earlier in the thread you can try adding. You can add me, name ‘Folly312’ if you want.

You can add friends without Facebook. Tap on “Add Origin Friends,” and in the space where it asks for the email of the friend, just enter the Origin username – you don’t need the full email address. I am UncleCrappy.

I’m connected with Folly, your town is huge! I found sideshow bob over in the old west area, near the top chop. I would imagine finding him daily is pretty hard with a town that size.

I think my Orphan Alley is bugged because it has never spawned a felon group to the best of my knowledge. I’ve never seen a fist icon. I have done several quests past the orphan alley one, but not sure what’s up with it now.

Thanks for the tips, looking forward to exploring more Springfields.

Enjoy,

And cluttered! I think the Sideshow Bob stops after a certain level. At least, I’ve not seen him in years.

I think maybe you have to be leveled up enough to have Android’s dungeon before you progress enough in the event to regularly spawn felons.

I started through this thread finding people to add, but I see it goes back four years and some of the players may either not be playing anymore or getting close to their friends cap and not adding unknown people.

My id is smerr612946 feel free to add me. I think this may be the better way of finding the active players than hunting down their IDs through this very long thread and guessing at which may still be active.

I finished the second stage a couple of days ago. Didn’t take a whole lot of effort. This seems to be a long event.

Frequent events are killing my enjoyment of the game.

I like the superhero idea, but I’m fucking sick and tired of the combat. i have other fighting games for that.

I would prefer a 10-14 day event every couple of months or so.

Just a note that I randomly looked in my inventory and I had a pack of trading cards in there . I assume it was one of the prizes that I didn’t realize went into inventory rather than being added to the total.

Charcoal Briquette is craftable for 4,000 trading cards.

I came in just to say I just got Charcoal Briquette and her fighting animation is the best yet. I had a ton of trading cards because there’s been nothing I’ve wanted from the cards.

I didn’t recognize any of the newer stuff because I haven’t watched the show very much in over a decade. Frankly, if it’s past season 10 I’m unlikely to recognize it.

I’m also getting tired of this event and the relentless schedule of events. It reminds me a bit of that Family Guy game, which I finally stopped playing because it became impossible to do much of an event without spending a ton of money.

I’m familiar with maybe 40 or 50 of my characters. I’ve never been a big Simpson’s fan. I just enjoy the game. For the most part.
