Visiting friends is an annoying hassle

Time spent in each friend's town collecting Santa Coins: 3-5 seconds.
Time spent in each friend's town collecting Valentines: 3-5 seconds.
Time spent in each friend's town chasing after snakes: 45-60 seconds.

I think I'm going premium and making myself self-sufficient.

    It isa hassle but I keep my friend count low so I can vist all of them and share my eggs. Cus the eggs are no good to me. May as well share them out! I only have a 100 friend if I need to earn currency.

    That's what I did.. Visiting towns is now going to be less frequent. When I get a large stash of eggs, someone's going to get lucky.

    It would have been nice if they made the snakes noticeable behind buildings and decorations. I'm starting to really like my neighbors that have clear streets with no buildings in the way.


    +1! :D They make my day!

    Can't check that for another 12 hours, but I hope that's not true. However, I always have been getting snakes first, dropping eggs second, then collecting $$. So not much an issue if you follow that order

    I was about to make this same post.

    I spent an hour and hit about 20 neighbors to see if I could confirm the mechanics.

    Every town I visited I lost anywhere from 0 - 30 snakes that I had to find. Since I've got a list of friends that have massive towns it took at least 2 minutes to find most of the snakes. If I wanted to find the last few snakes it went to 5 minutes.

    The 30 loss towns are the most frustrating. Lose 30 snakes then spend 10 minutes and get back 27 snakes and 8 eggs. That's the best case scenario assuming I stick around long enough to find them all.

    It's not worth the effort especially in the larger towns and it is sad when a design rewards friends with underdeveloped towns.

    Just a quick question on this, are you guys doing your 3 'help a friend' taps before collecting snakes? I have never lost snakes since I started collecting from the buildings after snakes.


    I alternate between doing it first and doing it last, and I don't seem to have too much trouble...but I might not be paying attention...but when I do lose snakes, I can always seem to get them back. I do have an Elite Whacking Licence, though.

    Right on.

    First, if you have the exp. point glitch, like me, you no longer get any exp. for visiting friends. Second, actually gaining rather than losing snakes is not a fun tapping experience but rather a punishing, and often fruitless, effort to beat the snake hiss. And third, no longer are you allowed to peruse your friends neighborhoods to see what they've done with the new items - unless you are willing to accept this stupid penalty of losing snakes.

    Badly done, EA.

    Edit to add: I have an elite license and have tried all the different order combos of drop eggs / whack snakes / tap buildings and have found it makes no difference in which order I do the tasks.
