Your DREAM Event!
I don't have any creative ideas as we speak but something with community based prizes sounds like a plan after that terrible luck I received during the Easter event

This shouldn't just be an event, this should be a normal thing that we constantly have in the game. It would be cool if this was somehow implemented into what they already have with FP system. Only this could serve as an in town thing. People could come in and tap on buildings and pawn shop and give each other silver dollars.
I would love that to bits, but the thread was asking for my "dream event" :wink: Also, if it became a permanent feature, the donut boxes would be taken out or drastically increased in price, because that sort of thing is fine in the sort term (e.g. last Halloween) but wouldn't ever happen in the long term, unless it costs a lot more (e.g. current leveling bonus.)Though when I think about it, it may sound like too much "free" stuff for EA to just give out.
Well, that's why I kept it to stuff that was given away for free (or at least potentially free) in the first place, and made donut boxes cost as much special currency as they cost for Halloween. No limited premium items as prizes, though it would be nice for a lot of people if those were available for donuts at the same time.
(I mean, sure it's a "dream" event, but I hoped it was also reasonable enough to actually happen.)Either way the idea is pretty awesome!
Thankee :)- Great ideas from neuroheart and deadshot_dcu :thumbup:
I hope EA will read this thread... :) - Pawn shop and chili cook off sound amazing!
Do EA read the forums still because someone needs to translate those into game files! eeyorebob wrote:
The search for Uter :D
Currency, bockwurst sausages
Ultimate goal - Find Uter and receive Uter character.
Missions - Make Springfielders go on various search parties
Get the police to interrogate school staff.
Send children on field trips to places they've visited.
Collect sausages and spin the wheel (cos that seems like Tapped Out favourite) to win Uter parents, a memorial to Uter, Uter topiary, lolly sticks, false citizenship documents, Kraftwerk album, German pub.
Well enjoy
:lol:
Haha, you must really love Uter.
I love neuroheart's idea, it is different to others, and offers prizes everyone would want, unless they already have it.
Deadshot's idea is cool, would love to see it at summer.- http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10044814.page#32402082
My dream event would be the Triffid Invasion mission set I came up with a while back. Got quickly buried with new topics... keithzilla208 wrote:
http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10044814.page#32402082- The pawn shop and chili cook off both sound excellent. This is slightly simpler in scale, and might work best paired with something like the pawn shop.
Name of the Event: The Feast of Maximum Occupancy (yes, it's from the show)
Main Quest Summary: Provides players with the opportunity to unlock new squares of land.
Special Currency: Squares of Land
How to earn prizes?: Upon update, 8 or so new quest lines trigger (or however many it takes to make a new strip of land). For each quest line that players are able to engage in and complete within the length of the event, they unlock a new square of land (if they've maxed out), or else gain a square nearest their existing space, plus the potential to unlock an additional square later for the value of the gained space (if they haven't yet).
Prizes: Land
New Features: Land phoebexlois wrote:

Well that's what the donut boxes would be for. All the superstars with every item could get quite a few donuts (I figure they've probably spent hundreds of dollars, so a truckload for free might be in order) and who doesn't want to win donuts?
Even people who don't have every item could gain some donuts if they focused on that, though I would rather have the items I missed out on.- Not sure what the currency would be. Maybe fireworks.
