Remember when the game was FUN?

Any one in the game designers' ear? I have a suggestion, and I'm sure i'm not the only one...

They need to bring back the 'fun' in the game.

I miss the way the game used to be. Actually Tapping.
It's all "send X amount of characters to do this job" now. I'm in and out of the game in less than 5 mins.
What happened to having something to actually DO?

I remember Christmas events where you can hide presents in friends' towns, and finding ones they left for you. Same with Easter Eggs. Prisoners/bandits on the loose to 'catch' and snakes running around on Whacking Day.
Not to mention we are STILL waiting for the Road to Riches "coming soon" to finally update.

*sigh* I really enjoyed playing Tapped Out.. but now its just boring.
  • I still think it's fun and I'm still loving the game.

    However, there are things id like see get added and re-visited.

    Things like Friendship Prizes. That will give everyone a reason to visit their neighbors and interact with their towns while at the same time try and unlock new prizes.

    Road to Riches is another thing they could bring back to invest all our hard earned cash towards while earning new prizes.

    Episode Tie-Ins could return with a new prize and small quest line like they used to
  • There are small things in new events that make me smile. Two last examples were: In the Great Simpsina event we got a decoration that opened a joint job between a new character and an old one. And I bought the latest Gil's promotion only because I had the donuts but the fact that it opens a double paying 8 hr job for Barney was just nice touch.

    We need something to do between events. :D



    lol, yeah. I get where you're coming from. But, like, I feel this particular thing has been just beaten to death. We all know it's been like this for a long time. And yeah, a change of pace from what we've had would be nice. But, we'd probably be complaining about the change sooner, rather than later.

    I do enough complaining at work. XD

    People complained before and they'll complain again. Just try to enjoy it for what it is.
  • If the game was as it once was, I think I would have stopped playing. There were days when I set my alarm to wake up at 2 am to get Black Friday items I'd always wanted. Or to stay on schedule to make sure to get all items on the prize track. I mean, that's a bit much. Tha's borderline obsessive. So, I'm glad it's calmed down. I still love it.
  • Still really like the game, never played any other game as long as this one, would I like a bit more variety in the event format most definitely but it's not a game breaker for me and I certainly don't want to go back to having to grind out items that I didn't want just to progress on to the next prize.
  • I hated the events where you needed to visit friends to do things as Bart was all over the place and it took ages to restart the game and do those things. It's still seldom that I can't visit all my friends in one sweep but Bart comes in at least once during the sweep. I actually stopped playing for long time after one Halloween event in the first years where you needed to go to neigbours all the time.

    So that's about those events. But then there were these build your own part of Springfiekd events where you earned "money" to spend on what decorations you wanted to buy and those were fun.

    Now you have to pay donuts to get walls for coralling what ever the event gives you. No new walls this christmas event but then again mostlly no new buildings & decorations either. Had a entrance to last years christmas enclosure so bought some walls and created extra large christmas enclosure. Will move all christmasy things in there when ground is not snowy anymore.
