I used to play TSTO a lot years ago, but lost access to my old mail and passwords, so I started from scratch about a month ago out of boredom. I love the game (even tho ive completed the main storyline billions of times) but I am a little disappointed in the new event “system” (currency of the week, constant 4hr tasks, same characters). Is there any chance that EA would change the event system from repetitive as it is now to how it used to be? tbh, i would prefer that even if it takes much more downtime between the events than this…. i still appreciate the new content tho

Given the age of the game, I don't see much chance of any big changes. The glitches and issues in each event are starting to occur much more frequently. By now the game code must be a mess.

People complained about the tedium of crafting, while also juggling the tasks associated with the prizes; so they did away with the crafting and we have the rather boring events we have today.

Grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence...

When I was donut-poor I always used to struggle with the crafting (never complained about it tho). Now that I’m flush with donuts I imagine it’d be nice to throw them at some of the crafted items I remember. Oh well.

There was a long break without any new content, and much fear that the game was done. Then events started releasing in what's usually the mini event format. They've stayed with this format ever since, but at least content releases have become routine again.

So as much as I'd love a return to complex major events, I'm glad to get anything at all and will reserve my complaints for game bugs, as there's still plenty.

I do miss the old days when events like THIS were really something to look forward to! It was different each time!

that brings back memories. Good times :)

I just want to egg and toilet paper houses like the first Halloween event one more time. I’ll even settle for smashing goblins.

Me too. I never got to do it the fist time. They really should bring this back in some way. Even in a permanent way. I have Jessica Lovejoy permanently TPing the statue. I put some Jack-O-Lanterns around it. :D

Also, EA please allow all children to go trick or treating from the Nightmare Pile at once, thank you.

hm, that is interesting. used to play on android, now on iOS, game is running smoothly, no glitches or errors, im actually very impressed considering this game has been running since 2012.

There are a number of issues. Game is currently unplayabe on Galaxy S22 series of devices. The significant issue known to us as 'the glitch' has never been resolved. There have been a number of patches needed in events to correct issues. One group I am in submitted around 2 dozen issues to EA. They were mostly related to sloppy or incorrect coding. We have just become used to things not being quite right, but there are more and more secondary issues cropping up due to unexpected reactions to the code being changed. They just patched a number of issues today. Many new characters do not work with the employment office. The current patch is putting many players in an endless bart screen loop...there is a thread on that. It goes on and on, but the game is old.....
