Did you buy the Hunting License?

I broke down and bought the portal an license last night. The portal looks awesome. I had always regretted not buying the ghost zapper last yr. Not for function, but for the cool limited time item.
  • I may have done the wrong thing, but I bought the Ray Gun - figuring that having ammo to shoot down three spaceships a day could reap a few 50 probe prizes as well as treat bags. Then I used what I had left on a golden scratch-r and won the 100 donut jackpot - so went for a portal. I COULD have got the Hunting License at that point but my creative eye wanted the look of the portal beside the ray gun. I don't think this was the logical step, however - I think the Hunting License would be a better investment in the long run.

    Oh well, I've done it now... and I'm happy. :lol:

    From what I understand, the Liscence doubles the amount of probes you are able to get while visiting neighbours)

    From what I've heard, it doubles the probes you get from friend actions: 180 rather than 90. Not worth my limited donuts, but if I was rolling in it I might get the license.
  • There is an interesting discussion on Addicts about this.

    The license goes away after the event. The other consideration is that you can craft the prizes later if you have the items needed.

    You can calculate the amount of extra currency the license will give at each 12 day stage (1080) and then compute the percentage that is of the final price total. For stage 1, 11%. For stage 2, 15%. For stage 3, 7%. (Thanks to Cguy who commented on this on Addicts.)

    So far I'm on track for stage 1, so not getting the license.
    So I'm still playing freemium and no donuts spent.

    Hmm... if thats true, it has a little value I suppose.


    I am getting plenty without it though. So I'll get something else.

    It double the amount of probes per alien (gosh that sounds wrong). So instead of just one probe per squish you get two. The cap is still 90 aliens total (not probes). So that means with the license, you get 180 probes instead of the standard 90.
