UPDATE: EA really do listen! The 1,000,000 XP is BACK! :D Well, today EA has slapped us in the face by removing the Beach Hideaway bonus, and now increasing the level up requirements at 939+ by 900%! You now need 10,000,000 XP to level up at 939 and get the three donut boxes, instead of the previous 1,000,000 XP required. So, with that said, how are you going to XP farm after these brutal changes? Are you going to stop XP farming for good? Continue grinding those KEMs? Still have your collider on 24/7? Farm rat trap trucks whenever you've got the cash?Let me know and hopefully, we can find a new strategy to get players to the 10 million XP mark!

This must be a quick "fix" for, you know, that other XP glitch that is (or was) good for us, and I guess/hope they probably reduce it to 1 million again once they fix that other, harder to fix glitch...

I spent a bunch of time earning bonuts today. I had zero donuts at the start of this event, but I wanted to buy all the Halloween premium items, so I had to grind about 800 donuts. Took a couple of hours, off and on. First I tried KEM farming, but that slowed down my phone too much. Then I switched to Rat trap trucks(RTT) which worked ok, but the double donut did not seem to work. I realized half way though that I should buy extra chances on the donut game. Muscle memory makes it hard for me to do this, so I keep forgetting to buy extra chances.I guess the outline of how I will earn donuts will be: collider on 24/7, double donut if I can, and rat traps to do most of my leveling up, buy extra chances on the donut game.Remember 10 million xp is how much it use to take to level up, it was like that for years. Going back to the old requirements should not be surprising.

Well I won't be spending any more donuts on the xp collider while the xp level is that high.They've really fucked up here, they've lost money from me. I used to drop a few quid every week to top up my free donuts. Now they're being reduced, there's no point spending a fiver here or a tenner there, because it won't be enough to get the stuff I want.

Until (hopefully!) they change the XP bar for me the XP Collider now seems somewhat redundant. On a standard tapping day, I'd never recoup the donuts I've spent on charging the collider with this new patch. Mine has 23 days left to run on it's current charge. Am keeping everything crossed something changes before it runs out.

wow
i fear that playing this game will not make sense after reaching this level :neutral:
donut farming is the only thing that intermediate players can aspire towards

Not possible. Max is 10 days for 25 donuts.

You can buy 3 x 10 day bundles straight after each other :) I believe the max you can have is 30 days.

40 days for 100 donuts.

I don't understand why they raised it so high. Yes, it was 10 million before the update, but that's only if you had already leveled up a bunch of times. I think the starting point was around 2.5 million. If EA wants a compromise, that would be a fair starting point. A lot of people would drop out of the super user category, but people could still aspire to reaching some point while playing. Now I'm not sure why I should care about buying items with bonuses.

Now the only thing to do in this game is collect money, which is boring.
