Generating criminals

Hope someone can tell howmany criminals each hour we get and/or there is a max number each day, when the best time to login (each 4h or less/more?)

My town does not say when all criminals are tab out and after visiting couple of friends it stops given me rods and give me money instead.

Waiting f8r a daily chart too :lol:


I posted a "Spawn rate?" thread earlier, but there really weren't any responses and now it's bumped to page 2 so I guess its a dead thread. Maybe people will reply to yours. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10301483.page

Regarding the chart, people are still trying to figure if the episodes can overlap and exactly how long we have to collect the rods.

    Is that enough if you know the timer is on 3 days and 15 houres or so :?:


    well i am almost at 9000 now
    i get about 6000 per day so it should be easy

    when you go to episode 2 it shows it starts in 3 days.

    if there is overlap how will the game decide to give you rods or bombs for all the tapping?


    I agree and doubt it'll overlap. People will still collect CRs until they complete phase one then move on to phase two if already open.

    The timer says when the next issue starts, not when the first one ends! It decides what currency you have by how far along you are in the quest. Individualized currency makes the most sense, I'd bet the farm it doesn't lock out episode one!

    I figured out another possibility regarding the overlap. Remember the daily prizes in stonecutters? The next prize unlocked on the next day. But you could only win them in order. Maybe that's how this one works. (Or not.)

    But if it does, my concern for those who are not meeting that timing is that, if they need the prize (eg, clownface, in this case) to trigger the pie-throwing mechanism in issue 2, theyll fall back further and further with each level. This is pure opinion, not based on knowledge, but on history.

    Maybe?


    I think this is correct and it uses the same sort of reasoning I did except I was thinking about comic books,
    I.e. everyone starts issue one as soon it is released but if you finish it straight away you have to wait until the next issue is released before continuing or if your not done with the first comic your obviously not going to start the second comic on the day its released instead you finish issue one and the get issue two when it suits you. Once again this is just opinion and not fact
  • I'm almost positive the currencis will not overlap. My guess is the prizes will be there for donuts if you missed them.

    ok i agree with you to a certain extent but the currencies don't overlap and you cant do both parts at the same time.
    i am sure what happens is that you need to have pie face for part 2 to start. so if you don't have him yet you will continue to collect rods until you get him then it will switch to the bomb currency right away.
    but if you already have pie face completed before part 2 starts then the currency will switch right as the times ends for part 2 to start.
    still very good to have part one complete before part 2 starts or else you risk falling behind on part 2 and part 3
