Where the Brown House can be used if you don't have a certain building, could they apply this to characters as well?
Using the same characters does get a bit boring and everyone else just ends up on long jobs.
But if we could use other characters it would make it more interesting, especially the scripts and varied storylines.
And if someone doesn't have this specific character, you still get them talking but tasks are by Homer or Bart for example.
I don't have Sophie Krustovsky, (might have wrong spelling), but she still talks in my game.
Or am I seriously underestimating the complexities of coding, as what I know about it I can write on a postage stamp, albeit with a very small pen.
Though I would really like to see a substantial increase in the item limit, for me it is items not money.
Well lemme stretch for a second, yeah I know the problem.
The problem is as old as the game itself (both the items limit and the characters used for events.... I haven't got the item limit so I tend to question how in-depth people decorate their towns, but then I see some cool designs and understand just a bit)
Reasoning for the same handful of characters:
Lv RequirementsMy first event (real event) was Tapball, they had a pride mini-event questline after the Terwiliger event...an event that I missed by days, I wouldn't have completed anything but ehh.....
Point?
I was a noob, I had a Kwik-E-Mart Farm...as in not farming for Donuts...just cash, easy access and decent payouts with short times... Plus neighbors could tap em... This method saw me powerlevel to the required level for Nelson.... He was required in the Tapball event....
Now, Bart, Homer, Marge and Lisa tend to be the go to characters, especially Lisa and Homer...why?
They are unlocked the earliest.
Bart is what Lv 12? Lv 15?
Still an early enough point.
This allows new players To complete the events without being too overwhelmed or stressed.
The current Mini-event style allows for backwards play styles so if you haven't finished that questline you can always return to it... So think about it
New player makes an account and begins the event, they have a hard time going through the event sure, but as they continue through the event they will level up and unlock new characters allowing them to go back to unfinished questlines and finishing as much of the event as they can!
Sophie Krustofsky was added to The Evergreen Terrors group during the first event, so canonical technicality in play.
This occurs across the board, so any characters you don't have will still have dialogue options, quests can be tweaked at times if you lack the character (usually premium only characters though).
So having another character replace her tasks would be non-canonical to a degree?
Even if they did....it would be with an early level character.
I agree Mr. Burns makes no sense in this event...or they should tweak his task to searching through his old computers, you know the ones the size of a dining room?
The last bit though...hehe I'm honestly kinda happy about that.
See to tell you that story first I have to tell you
this story:
Destination SpringfieldAt least I'm sure that was it.... basically the event that introduced the Airport....
While not all gameplay had the character selection that you're speaking of....one task did.
The reason you don't see that type of task anymore, or hear of anyone suggesting it too often....is because we broke it.
Boy oh Boy did we wreck that thing!
I mean totally, unequivocally exploited the heck out of it.
The task gave you 5(? If I remember correctly...) Random characters that could do the task...but if you sent one of the characters from that list on another task...it would refresh the list.
So what we figured out was:
Send all characters from the list BUT ONE to the event task. Send the last one on a task, the shortest one, and then repeat with the new Refreshed list.
Some of use even threw in Duffland as a possible short task (five minutes if not mistaken) which only further made the amount of characters you could send larger and larger.
Yup.
It's not a bad idea, we as the players simply see loopholes and exploit them.
Nowadays you'll see less "Springfielder" tasks and more precise specifies group tasks ex: Gluttons, Nitwits, Criminals, Kids, Adults, Parents etc.
Wild West was a rare event that had a character from a higher level (and quite new) be used as part of the event:
Paris Texan, part of the Billionaire SH Heights reward.
Seemed unfair at the time, but definitely outside the box thinking that would be welcomed nowadays.
Tl/Hates Reading (You don't want to read because you hate reading...just admit that, it's not that you didn't read it...it's that you DON'T want to read it)
The reason for the same Group of characters being assigned to Event tasks is because it allows players of ALL levels (even newer players) to play the event (not necessarily complete the event)
Why don't they have more flexibility with the characters we can use during events?Because in the past they have done that, and we exploited said mechanic.
Back to topic, Ye Olde Animatronic Saloon Bar Tender with the Toilet?
He did appear in the episode with the toilet.
