Arnie Pye ~ regrets

I play all day, i put everyone on 1 hour tasks. Don't feel like slowly paying attention to who i am putting on what task when i have 90+ characters every 60 min.

Arnie was fine how he was. And who buys characters to not see their animation? People ususlly buy arnie to have him flying around. And buying skins for premium is a waste if i ever seen one.

Since the super hero event went live, anytime i tap on arnie pye flying around it takes me to the channel 4 news building. Before his task pop up with the timer left would pop up, now I am constantly having to scroll back to where I was. The majority of the time I am not anywhere near his chopper when the game says I tapped him. This has been the most annoying change I've witnessed. Please change arnie pye back so I am not teleported from 2 opposite ends of my town trying to collect.

I would rather not have him and would even trade (if it was possible) for any character worth less donuts.

I think you can store characters if he bothers you that much.

This is more tempting than the 24 hour task. I won't ever have kids so this is my chance to ground someone for being annoying... good thing i wont be a Dad; Or EA could have just not changed anything with an old premium

Not me. I bought him to complete my collection of stonecutters. Would never have bought him otherwise. He stays in the lodge, far away from the irritant that is the helicopter. (Trust me, that thing has been annoying people for years.)

I'm assuming you keep Stampy on his 24 hour task? So this would be the same thing. Maybe try putting Arnie on his 24 hour task at the same time as Stampy, then it's less for you to remember. As annoying as it may be, it doesn't make sense to gripe about it when then are two simple solutions.

His soundbites annoy me 1000x more than the helicopter. I actually bought him because of the helicopter.

I guess we all have / had our reasons for buying arnie. Just so happens my reason has become the first annoying thing to bug me since I started.

Not "griping", I'm using the forum for its purpose, conversation about the game.

when i log in 12 times for 60 min task than finish it with 8 hour before bed, that's a lot of cash loss by putting him on a 24 hour tadk. I wasn't around for money glitches or outside cash help that is illegal so cash is a bit important when you're level 49 and never reached 1 mil in the 7 months of playing. I buy premium characters because they make a good dent in a day with 1 hour tasks.

All i was doing was trying to start a conversation about this change, not get reamed out for because of an opinionated matter.

Ditto. When he isn't at the lodge with the others he is in the studio on his 4-hour SC task...

I find the helicopter annoying as well.

Arnie Pye hasn't been out of his stonecutter robes since I finished his questline. I hate the helicopter.

Honestly, though, I can understand the OP's frustration with the change. If I DID like the helicopter animation, but it kept throwing me across town every time I tapped on it by accident, I would be upset too. Kinda like the mutant rabbit - at least you can store Arnie or put him in a different skin.
