Curious ... played for a few minutes this morning [to clear up the overnight activity, shipment etc.] and the first thought-bubble I clicked gave me a Dozer Wheel. Nothing since, of course. that's the first 'drop' I've had for two days.
Interesting ... I'm stating to get 'drops' again when clicking my city thoiught bubbles.
Has EA fixed something? Or is it related to the fact that I've travelled across 9 time zones over the last week?!
Has anyone else found things have improved?
EDIT
~48 hours later, still getting in-City drops regularly. However, speed-up tokens are now appearing at random times: most of them used to spawn within 5 minutes of each other. Strange! Playing on iPad, if that's relevant.
OK, it's back to "broken" again. I'm getting 1 or 2 drops a day from my City, and that's it.
So, EA, while I'm sure many players will be pleased with the new extra 10% expansion area, there's no way I can take advantage of that. I can't get Expansion, Beach, Mountain or Storage items unless I play non-stop for the next 2 years. 😬
