1) Everything, except that dang Faberg? Egg2) The Blocko store is my favourite prize, as the characters available didn't come with a building3) Being I've already won everything, I guess the Faberg? Egg. But I was trying to get Shary Bobbins for ages. 4) It's ok. The aesthetics and general mechanics were ok, but I think the odds and probabilities and payouts definitely needed some fine tuning, or at least being able to tap the brown rabbits in KL and friends' towns or something.. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-forum/welcome.gif to the forum, btw :)

Here are my answers:1) 28 fences (4 pastel, 24 Easter), 2 Easter gates, 3 Easter trees, 3 Easter ponds, 3 egg piles (worst prize in the game, IMO), 3 beach towels/umbrellas, Kang Topiary, Chirpy Boy and Bart Jr., Banana Dictatorship, Blocko Store, Johnny Fiestas, Father Sean, and the Faberge Egg.2) Johnny Fiestas (I love the look of it and I love Mexican food, I just really wish that Marge or another character could eat or get margaritas there :) )3) Shary Bobbins (of course :wink: ) and Bunny #246014) I really enjoyed it in the beginning and I have done pretty well, but I'm starting to get a bit tired of all the leg work it takes. I'm really grateful for all the cool prizes I have, but it's getting a bit boring constantly trying to get enough eggs. The egg-procuring tasks take forever and have very little pay-off. While I loved it at first, I'm kind of losing interest at this point. It's just not worth all the time it takes. Once the questline finished, it became very hard to get a decent amount of eggs. I'm averaging 1 box, 2 at the most, a day. Mostly, I feel really bad for the people who have spent a lot of money on eggs. I spent only $4.99 and didn't get anything but egg piles and trees, but I've heard of people spending over $50 and coming out empty-handed, which is terrible. I hope that EA improves the odds for all the people who have had a tough time with this. I'm glad that they tried something different than the wheel, but the gambling aspect is very frustrating for people (especially premium players). Another small gripe I have is the none-too-subtle threat made by EA during the quest. For those who don't remember, Homer said something along the lines of "if you don't keep playing, we won't update the game". It was poor form, in my opinion. Although I'm expressing some of my issues with the event, I'm really not mad at EA at all. I just think that they should listen to their disgruntled customers here who have spent a lot of money and who haven't won anything. It's also not very nice to insult your loyal customers. All-in-all, I am pretty pleased (despite my lengthy diatribe, lol). I just wish EA had better customer service and were more willing to listen to TSTO fans.

@mwdalton- Thanks for the welcome. :) That's pretty cool that you've won everything (sans Faberge egg). I still have some stuff to get, but I'm pretty pleased with my haul at this point (I listed it in another post). I can't believe you already have Shary Bobbins. That's awesome. Did you need to buy eggs or were you able to get everything playing freemium? The egg-procuring has really slowed down for me lately. It was going really fast for the first week and now it's come to a grinding halt, it has something to do with me not getting baskets anymore either. There's still about 10 days left though, so there's still hope I guess.

1. Lots of stuff although only 1 character so far.2. Blocko store.3. Jonny Fiestas4. Meh. There is very little to buy with in game cash, prizes are random chance, and the Fabrege egg/baskets fiasco was a big let down.

I didn't get a basket for about a week, maybe more. I just got 2 today, a few hours after winning the Faberge egg. Also agree about the lack of in-game cash purchases. I wish they had offered some stuff like the Easter trees, ponds, fences, etc. at the store for in-game cash. Or at least removed them from the boxes once you win a certain amount of each. There's nothing more frustrating than working for hours to get enough eggs for a box only to end up with your 4th egg pile. I don't want to sound like a big complainy-pants because I really did enjoy the first week of the event when the quests were still going. It's just kind of lost its luster for me. The egg-finding is becoming a bit too grueling.

Cool. Another completionist. That's good to hear. I was tempted to go overboard with the donuts too, but I didn't fare very well after $5, so I decided to stop myself there. lol. I may buy a few more if I don't get everything by the end. I'm glad to hear that some people are getting Shary Bobbins. I am a bit more optimistic about getting her now. There's still 9-10 days left, so anything's possible. It was quite an update. Lots of good, some not so good, but it may not even turn out bad at all. I feel like I shouldn't be passing too much judgment when there's still a good amount of time left. So, we'll see. I'm hoping against all hope that EA has a few tricks up their sleeve, another surprise rare object or something. Yeah, I'm greedy like that. :wink:

I'm a big Tapped Out junkie (not to mention, a longtime forum lurker who just decided to start posting) and I love hearing people's opinions about various aspects of the game. I was just curious about how people are faring with this event. I know a lot of people are having a tough time with it, so I had 4 questions for anyone willing to answer. (I'll put my answers in a separate post.)

1) What have you won so far?

2) What is your favorite prize that you've won so far?

3) What prize(s) (including the Faberge egg) do you really want to win?

4) Easter Event 2014: Love it? Hate it? Apathetic about it?

1) 34 fences/ easter fence entrance/ Hugs Bunny/9 easter trees/ 4 umbrella thingies/ Bart junior lizards/ the rabbit number bla/ farberge egg/ 3 kang and kodos bushes/ Banana Dictator ship/ golden eggs - so all in all quite a lot :O)

2) Bart junior lizards and Hugs Bunny (even though I wasn't longing for him)

3) Above all Shary Bobbins ... then Father Sean and the Blocko Store

4) It's pretty hard work to gain prices and it's annoying me a bit. Halloween and Valentine's day was a lot easier. I'd prefer the Halloween event over this Easter but I like the ideas for this event.

1st of all http://i.imgur.com/ShoFC1m.gif to the forum glad to see you are posting :thumbup:

1) What have you won so far? All Items

2) What is your favorite prize that you've won so far? Block Building

3) What prize(s) (including the Faberge egg) do you really want to win? Received/won the egg and have all other prizes

4) Easter Event 2014: Love it? Hate it? Apathetic about it A lot of people have seen my comments on this, it was an ok update, buildings and characters were good, just didnt like the chance situation, i managed to win everything (spending donuts) daughters town (freemium) is still trying to win anything decent!! If it wasnt for the Chance spin(s) and was a community prize situation then it would have been Great!!

1) Everything other than the Egg Council Guy, Father Sean, Shary Bobbins and the Faberge Egg

2) Uhm, probably Johnny Fiesta's because it looks good next to the Casino

3) Shary Bobbins, because she seems so elusive

4) Don't mind it but it's probably been my least favourite event so far.

1) I've won most of the things I wanted which is good enough for me for the moment!

2) I've won Johnny Fiestas, Banana Dictatorship, Hugs and Father Sean but my favourite thing I won has to be the Blocko Store. Just love the look of that building!

3) Just holding out for Shary Bobbins now. Feeling more confident about getting her as I had a run of good luck yesterday.

4) Overall, think I do love this event. While it is completely chance-based and the days of endless fences and egg piles can be frustrating, you always have to to love it when they give us something different to do.
