(Weirdest) Black Friday is live

Replies

  • I really like this way of doing Black Friday. I hated the timed sales. There was always one item I missed out on.

    What?

    The timed sales are much better.

    At least with the timed sales in previous Black Friday events, you could actually choose which item or character you wanted to buy.

    Rather than this random lottery crap with the boxes for this year's event.

    I can see how the timed sales are better for someone who is missing most of the items. I have almost everything so or me the boxes are very convenient.

  • How do I always get the thing I want the least on the first pick of each box?

    How so?

    You do realize that the boxes, especially the non character boxes are all pot luck?

    There is a good chance outside of the character box, that you could up with something disappointing or not getting a particular item that you wanted.

    That's why timed sales are the much superior option to this random boxes lottery crap, since with timed sales you can actually choose exactly what you want.

    One question, in which character collection is Muscular Marge? I got a skin but didn't saw that.

    I don't think you get the skin until you've completed part of the quest line.
  • I got the two characters I really wanted from the Character Box in the first 3 pulls (Anger Watkins and Dredrick Tatum. Got the Wiccan Trio on the first pull.)

    When it came to the Retail Store Box, I wanted the Mapple Store. Got that on the LAST POSSIBLE PULL.

  • I've been wanting the Springfield Mall and Costington's forever! But I have to chance it each time :( NOOOOoOO what to do what to do

    Just keep taking chances and having fun. -Garth Brooks

    I don't really regret buying all the items in the Retail Box, because I got a Premium 4hr task for Marge at the Donut Store, plus Mr. Costington as a new playable character.

    It sort of evened out I guess. All the donuts I "saved" from the Character Box pulls went directly to the Retail Box to pull everything. XD

    I prefer the boxes. I didn't have much to get and knew I was getting everything that I didn't have. I was done in a few minutes buying things. I understand that for others it would be beneficial to have the hourly deals, but I had no issue with the mystery boxes.
  • I wish I could see EA's stats on who plays this.

    It seems the "pro" players who farm etc are getting every possible item.
    Newbies though are more tentative and maybe getting one. The risk of getting bland items is just too high.

    I think the first time I ever bought donuts was specifically to get Crazy Cat Lady on a Black-ish Friday sale years ago. If it was a random grab bag back then I likely wouldn't have bought any donuts.


  • So the free token item I got was the Mars colony and it does nothing? No money and XP, no task for anyone, no multiplier, why was it in the gold box?

    Possibly because it originally sold for 200 donuts.

  • The free token I redeemed for the Donut Boat. I didn't like it at the start, but it looks nice (albeit a bit goofy) in my Squidport Dock.

    (Gave a nice 5% boost to XP and Money, can't complain about that!)

  • This must be my lucky day. I opted for the great outdoors box and the building box and got EXACTLY what I wanted! Springfield Gorge and Lil Lisa Recycling! I can't believe it.

    Then It will be going straight into storage because it is so big and useless.

    I did the same. Doesnt blend with anything, no income and no bonus.

    I did, the visual animation of the boat making it rain donuts is humorous to watch.

    I agree, just wish it lasted just a bit longer.

    Yep, I just finished upgrading thinking it would do something, but nope. Into inventory it goes.

    I completed it and got the skin but it didn't opened the character collection...
