Criminal spwning

I'm glad it wasn't just me.
Thought I saw somewhere where you can hold up to 60 as a max in your town.
Every 10 minutes would mean, every 10 hours you would reach your max.


Am I doing this math right :)

Tested this this morning. After a break of around 3 and a half hours, I had 42 criminals to tap. That is consistent with 1 criminal spawing every 5 minutes.

thanks for the test.
Was going to do it this morning but forgot to start counting after I started tapping away.
Maybe since I'm always on every few hours it just seemed like they were spawning every 10 minutes :)

It's definitely not just you, earlier in the issue I started a thread saying the same and got a lot of response agreeing with me and you. I did do tests to count and mine had 100% changed, even with hard to find criminals, it still wasn't adding up as it should. I'm still on a new, low, spawn rate, but luckily I went on the game every two hours, so was able to complete all the tasks. I started trying to find out why some people were getting lower spawn rates, but I got no feedback.

Has anyone also noticed if you leave the game idle for a few minutes they all seem to crawl towards that area your focused in on, like walking dead. :shock:

I've not, I try and limit my search to 5 mins so that an extra criminal doesn't come along and ruin my calculations!!

My husband complained that the rate of criminal spawning had slowed in his SF. Then mine seemed pretty light of them this morning. I just cleared SF and went back after 35 mins. I only had 4 so that would seem to support a 10 minute rate rather than a 5 minute spawn. I've been getting 3 free donuts each day but doubt I'll get 6000 Rays before issue 4 now.

I counted Freeze Rays earlier and got exactly how many I expected for a 5 minute re-spawn rate.

Maybe one of you people who are only getting 1 every 10 minutes should contact Customer Support and ask.

No wait! Maybe it's supposed to be 10 minutes now and we're the ones who have a glitch! They might fix it and I wouldn't get any more donuts...

I wish somebody had suggested that earlier! I'm lucky enough to have no life so I was able to complete issue 3 anyway, but I doubt there'd be much point now anyway.
