- One element here is that if you didn't come into Act 3 in a strong position re: DNA, you might be in trouble. Fortunately I crafted the Gas 'n Grub a few days ago and managed to stockpile 3,000 or so DNA before Act 3, so I can just worry about masks (which are difficult enough as it is) plus upgrading the opera house. But I think people who are still trying to work toward the G 'n G and also want Act 3 prizes are going to find this will be very difficult.
Also, I think you absolutely need to upgrade the opera house ASAP if you want prizes that require masks. You'll never collect enough masks if you don't.
It's really annoying that EA has made tweaks as we go along that have all worked to make the event more difficult. In hindsight, you really needed to get off to a strong start at the very beginning if you wanted to do well overall. - JedihntrNew Spectator

Its just too much of the same thing(s) to craft / upgrade everything :roll:
Bring back community prizes - the old system worked sooo well :D
I'm hoping EA is listening.
Are they ever listening? (Still waiting for ground options other than pavement or grass, and there's hundreds of pages dedicated to that) annettemarc wrote:

It figures that you'd go for the one photo on google images that I found frightening :mrgreen:- OP - you keep posting this DNA issue everywhere. If you have any premium characters and are logging in several times a day, you shouldnt be having any issues. If you're freemium, then that would help explain it as your limited to less high rollers for the 12 hr and less celebs for the 3 hr. And personally, I have no issues with a free player not having as many opportunities as the people investing back into the game.
I'm actually seeing an increase in DNA and corn being dropped today (could just be random). I also crafted the GnG and Farmers Market before the end of act 2 and then started saving up DNA for act 3. None of the new craftables require DNA, and the amount you need for upgrading the opera house is minimal. I fully expect to have the GnG and Bob Sign by the end, in addition to the opera upgrades. I do think its unlikely I'll get enough masks to craft all 3 of the new items, but we'll see how much the drop/job rate increases as we upgrade. The only one I really want is the Simpsons boat, which shouldnt be a problem.
Full disclosure - I won 10 donuts from the mystery box yesterday and spent 7 to speed up the first opera house upgrade. That immediately unlocks an 8 hour job to earn masks - which really gives a nice head start. cdepast wrote:

I don't have a count, but I have basically all Premium characters that aren't limited time, except for a couple, and a handful of limited time Premium characters. Holy assumptions.- 4junk3000New SpectatorI feel like the best method is choose tasks based on how often you can log in, regardless of what currency it awards. Let the clock and your schedule determine the task, not what currency it awards.
If you can log in every hour, keep choosing the 1hr tasks. If you can't log in again for 8 hrs, choose 8s. Focus on how efficient you're collecting. Sort what items you've collected later. - youre looking for answers to why you are struggling, so any theory will be an assumption. If you have the premium characters that earn event currency you should be fine. Otherwise you're either not doing something correct or not playing as much as you claim. Here are the characters earning DNA. The best strategy is to levrage the 3 and 6 hour tasks, as you will earn more than the 12 hour.
Celebs: Abraham Lincoln, Krusty, Duffman, Kent Brockman, Bumblebee Man, Dr. Nick, Sideshow Mel, Drederick Tatum, Miss Springfield, Arnie Pye, Lurleen, George Washington, Roger Meyers Jr., Chester Lampwick, Sideshow Bob, Booberella, Wolfcastle, Mr. Teeny
High Rollers: Mr. Burns, Krusty, Mayor Quimby, Hank Scorpio, Kent Brockman, Fat Tony, The Rich Texan, Bernice Hibbert, Roger Meyers Jr., Wolfcastle, Mr. Costington
Brainiacs: Lisa, Principal Skinner, Prof. Frink, Comic Book Guy, Hank Scorpio, Martin, Dr. Hibbert, Sideshow Mel, Database, Crazy Cat Lady, Cecil Terwilliger, Sideshow Bob - I have all but 3 or 4 of those characters. Guess I'll just need to start waking up in the middle of the night to get characters on task or something.

Any chance you have the energy to go through those lists and separate out the premium/limited-time characters from the standard ones? It would make it really nice to see that. Also that would help us to easily spot the regular characters whose DNA tasks fall into two groups ( e.g., Krusty and Brockman and Wolfastle) , since we can only choose one task for them at a time.
If you don't want to, I totally understand! You've done a lot already :)cdepast wrote:

Mr Teeny?! Dang! I've had him stored because it bugged me with having him only the one task.
Thanks very much for the list. :D
