I didn't notice an update to give the option of buying gold eggs. Noticed no updates since level 40. Did they plan to sell gold eggs all along, at a preprogrammed time/date?

That's cause there was none it was in the code from the beginning

When did they start giving baskets from the boxes? I don't see those as a possible prize in any of the 3 colors.

150 donuts for gold eggs and all junk.

switchin to family guy for premium services. this holiday was a real waste of time.

After you get a prize that can't be replaced (ex. Banana Dictatorship), it will replace it with a basket or box of 250 blue/pink eggs.

To my recollection, they show up after you clear certain unique items from that box. I THINK in the gold box that if you clear the Hugs Bunny, Banana Dictatorship AND Bunny whatshisnumber, then you start seeing pink and blue baskets in the gold box. THAT is purely from memory, which ain't saying much I'm afraid. :(

Oops. Ninja'd. And I was mistaken as well. Sorry. :oops:

As we all know, Golden Eggs have now become available for purchase. I spent 100 donuts and bought 9100 golden eggs and I had 400 already so I had a total of 9500 eggs for 19 spins!! I must have already spun the golden box a dozen times so this would put me over 30 spins total for the event. I still need Bobbins and Father whats-his-face. Here is what I got for my 19 spins:

5 Gates - So awesome looking
6 Fences - The best fences around
3 250 Blue eggs - blue is my color so I would love more!
3 250 Pink eggs - sweeeeet, my rare egg
1 Blue Basket - again, blue is my color so the more the merrier!!!
1 Kang bush

It was so awesome and so much fun to spin the golden box and claim these amazing prizes for my inventory, my inventory will love to have them!

Serious note: I am a player that EA wants to have. I am premium, I play every day, I hype up this game to friends and family to get them to play, to this day I have gotten 3 friends and 1 family member to join (3 of which stopped playing due to this event). I check in every hour or 2 to clear handshakes for neighbors and tap bunnies for eggs. Plain and simple, I am the type of player that EA wants.

I have voiced my disapproval of this event is several previous posts but this one is different. After spinning the golden box last night, I am simply utterly disappointed at this game, I am not angry, fed up or frustrated anymore, just plain and simple disappointed. This game that I have enjoyed for a year now has been completely drained of all fun. It is pathetic that all the hard work and effort that all of us, not just me, have put into this event only to be ridiculed by being rewarded with a game of chance, it is as if our prize for our efforts is a game of Russian Roulette.

The Simpsons is something that I grew up with, I was 9 when it first came out in 1990 and I still watch the show today in my 30's. I started playing TSTO May 2013 and loved the game, there have been hiccups and bumps with the game in that time but all in all, I still loved and played the game. Now, thanks to the amazing people at EA, I do not honestly know how much time I have left with Tapped Out.

I know there will be people here who will tell me to stop whining or stop playing and so be it. People are entitled to their opinion. I just wanted to get that off my chest.

ps: I'm gonna go back and play "Simpsons: Hit and Run" on my Gamecube.

This all day. I spent the donuts and got garbage. Such a disappointing update. I visit all my friends daily and have only gotten one of the four premium characters. And I've spent about 400 donuts on this event.

I think your confusing whining with cheering.

Your Post nailed what the community on the whole is thinking. You used to be rewarded for hard work, now you can bust your butt as much as you like and all you get is laughed at while EA counts their wallets. Unfortunately it's now just a cash grab game like Family Guy.

So sad, I really enjoyed tapped out but its been sliding the last few events, I don't even want to log on anymore. Not to mention I have run out of room in my park and now have the decision to just stop playing or try to tweak things to make more room. I really like my design though, and don't want to alter. I guess it's a good thing the events killed the game, any more buildings and I would have to quit anyway until they unlock more land.

To try and be constructive:Would have made all the difference in this event? All the gold prizes were awesome (buildings, chars, etc) and could only be spun once. Once you clear the wheel it just flips to a bunch of money/blue/pink/donut spaces. This would have made getting gold spins super exciting, no worry of getting multiple of the same crap, and with hard work and grinding you would be able to clear the wheel by event end.

So glad all the crap I got in this event is forever stuck in my inventory to consistently ridicule me and bring back bad memories.

Let this be a warning for everybody. Gambling is designed to get your money without giving you what you hope for. TSTO is a gambling game now and no longer something we should have our children playing.

Just gone into my Springfield and looked at the gold box prizes. Sure enough, the blue basket that I need is in there. Was it planned all along that there would be a shortage of the baskets you need most? This really sucks. I can get the basket if I win enough gold eggs - impossible unless I pay at the moment. Or I just buy one. The worse this gets the more I am determined not to spend my donuts. Are they trying to send people to ebay to buy those dodgy eggs? Looks like it to me :twisted:

Hmmm....I'm not a complainer, but WTF? Been playing since Feb 2013, am at level 40, have purchased all the land, have spent MUCH real money on this game. (More than I am willing to admit, but check out my Springfield you can add it up) I love the special events but ONLY IF I REALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN ALL THE GOOD PRIZES! Pink was my main color egg-so of course I have all the prizes I wanted from the pink box. Been saving pink eggs to trade them into blue eggs...finally got enough blue eggs to buy 2 blue boxes. Won gold eggs both times- ok, good I really want Mary Bobbins or Hugs Bunny. Bought the gold box- WON 250 PINK EGGS. WTF WTF REALLY? Come on you guys-take away the crappy prizes for the last few days, will ya? Love this game. Do the right thing!
