Community Prize Estimate

I'm curious why if you have two towns on two separate devices open at the same time, the number is different. I checked the other night and it was off by approximately 50,000

I kinda wonder the same thing and I think one way or another we will get all the prizes. Just keep tapping and collecting the goo just to be on the safe side.

Probably just a way to get people to play till the end for sure. Unlike whacking day where everyone got their prizes and just coasted till the end, not really helping anyone else out. The way this is setup is everyone will visit and play the event till the last day.

Better way of sharing the tasks (haunting houses vs leaving eggs), and the "community goal" keeps everyone interested until the last day.

I had 1 person help me on the last day and came up short on a few items.

What are you talking about?

First post on this thread stated that goo total rises 6k per second. It achully updates every half second. So the goo total rises 12k per second.

From what I am seeing it is 6000 a second.

It's around 6,000 per second, not 12,000. Least not yet.

Lol, so cynical. I have a feeling the game writers are going to poke some fun at all the cynics theorizing about the counter being fake.

I'm no tech genius but it could be a server issue. A game like this with millions of different players stores those players' game data on a number of different servers. One device's game (through Origin ID) is probably on a different server than the other device's game, and there might be a delay between the two. At around a 5-6k average per second, that'd put like an 8-10 second delay between servers.

It could also be due to a Wifi and 3G/4G thing. If one device is an iPad running on Wifi and the other is an iPhone running on 3 or 4G, that could explain the slight delay too.

Would be nice of we can exchange goos for donuts later on....

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/25/9734916.page Read my comments on this post. The increments are increasing steadily. If the rate of increase keeps up we should be at 2 billion by tonight or tomorrow morning and be close to 3 billion around 24 hours after that. So at that rate we should have the first prize around Tuesday or Wednesday.

Yep from what I've seen it started at about 4000 goo a sec, now it's about 6000 goo a sec.
