Bob's event: one perspective

As confusing as it has been at times, and as demanding as the schedule seems to be,

I have to acknowledge certain things I appreciate about the event so far:

- activity on this forum is way up. It's not just a boring monotonous grind, it requires some thought and so we are here sharing ideas. I like that

- large assortment of prize tracks. We don't just level up in rank, we get prizes for some stages. We have daily mission prizes. We have long term cumulative prizes. We have crafting prizes. That's a lot of variety and chances to win.

- the prizes have brought me back to significant town designing and construction
This is the big one for me. Last few events, I put out stuff until event was over then shelved it. CoC and Heroes had too many large things that didn't fit into a normal town concept. They are in storage.

But this event has prompted me to build a huge drive-in and surrounding farm area, huge corporate campus, and by choosing to put it on the pier, my theater has revitalized my Squidport. I want multiple things and more time to earn them. I don't want the event to end until I have a corn field. I wish I could afford to build a CORN MAZE!

That's a lot of content.

And for me anyway, I've had practically no crashes or Bart screens.

Not bad, EA. Not bad.

Any body else PLEASED? be happy to hear from you.

lol happy tapping!

seem to get the Bart screen/server issue almost every morning between 6:30 and 7:30 am cst during this event... (maybe there's a server reset/cycle at that time) edit: spoke too soon... getting the server error screen right now.... :roll: figures when it's time to clear the Cecil task and start the last one of the day....


that being said... definitely enjoyed the event overall... the long term crafting/planning makes it more interesting (to me), and while I might not get everything available, the 'big' items are all easily attainable (even for a freemium player) if you have the time and willingness to put in the effort.

I like how many characters are used in the event.

I like the complexity.

I like that we got Sideshow Bob and his family.

I've been enjoying the event! I love that we got Bob and his family...and all the other stuff is pretty awesome :) No complaints other than the fact that I have had to be EXTRA creative about where to put stuff!

I'm enjoying the event. I like having to think about strategy rather than just mindless tapping, loads of characters involved, lots of different activities. I've not been bowled over by all of the craftables but there are enough that I do like for me to keep busy. I would prefer a bit more neighbour involvement, I haven't had enough mutant seeds to spread amongst my neighbours (refuse to spend donuts). Overall though I think it's a good event.

It is a decent event! with 5 new profitable buildings and 3 new characters, even if it is a bit long i had fun but i'm kinda worn out already, i want the houseboat and the Homer decoy but i really want this marathon of event to end...
i miss my good night sleep.

Good event...very time consuming, but its held my interest. Only had 1 Bart screen durin the whole event.
Love the new characters

Im very happy with this event. Its not my favorite, but Ive had lots to do, over a long period of time, and will end up with a lot of cool new stuff.

I've really enjoyed the event thus far and rate it up there with the stonecutters event as far as prizes go.
It too had us clicking around the clock for the prizes (reminds me of the mouse navigating the maze for cheese)

At the end of each prize track we've had lots of time and opportunity to collect donuts and the pace is reasonable for a event lasting this long. Its been neither too fast (not enough time to collect what I want) or too slow (too much time between collecting stuff).

We've had a level update and a tie-in as well during the event which while providing more questlines to untangle and do, has been easy to put on hold until the event is over. In the case of the tie-in, it was short enough that I can hurry through it before it ends and the prizes from that disappear - a whole week before the phase 3 portion of the event ends.

Cecil and Bob are iconic characters to be released and they have done a fine job releasing them.

Of course, not everyone is going to be happy with a given event and there are people who complain about every event, but overall, I have found great enjoyment in this event...despite tapping as often as we have been.

I have at moments enjoyed the event, but don't feel its one of the better ones from when I started playing.

Normally me and my gf play events together, but the complexity really turned her off. Too many currencies too many things happening and really the game was too needy on this event.

Nice to see them try something a little different, with the limitless upgrading and having to find the right level, but felt it was pretty punishing to people who didn't research that. You could spend way too many resources on it.
