Arnie is my first real donut purchase and I'm not too fond. I bought him because I thought the helicopter task looked cool though I didn't realize it was basically just an annoying banner animation that covers a chunk of the screen and gets in the way a lot.
Accidentally bought him after the update since my dn confirmation was turned off. Was pretty pissed but turns out I like his tasks and animation lol. Plus how can u be upset with the newshound walking around
Fun thread, fun Arnie.
He's flying around my SF non stop. There are not secrets he doesn't reveal... Stay tuned tomorrow to your TVs for Arnie in the Sky. :P
Within 5 minutes of buying Arnie (let's face it, I'm a sucker for new characters) and putting him on his first 12 hour task, I instantly had flashbacks of Kang's UFO and why I was so glad when I finally got to shoot it down with the laser. Can't believe I did this to myself again. It is SO annoying to have this thing fly across the middle of the screen every 5 seconds getting in the way of tapping anything or even scrolling.
EA: Please change it so that he only flies across once per minute or better yet once per 5 mintues, not every freaking 5 seconds. I'm getting a serious case of buyer's remorse, but thankfully he does have other tasks....

Fully agree. Once every couple minutes would be fine. They can then have it back to the 5 second frequency when his task is ready to collect.
As is I will be avoiding his 12hr task even if it means losing potential money/xp filling a 12hr gap with an 8hr task.
Once every few minutes would be pathetic. Anyway if you're setting 12 hour tasks its because you're not playing all the time for that , so simply set him last on te 12 hour task and leave the game. Then when you're back 12 hours later he's back in your town complete.

Thats what i do set them to 12hr tasks for work hours Whats the point of doing 12hr tasks and then playing the game regularly during that time

Same here, that's usually why I use 12 hour tasks. During the workday, I usually set the tasks to 8-12 hours and just have to be careful if I'm going back in to not tap him. As I said before, he's like Sideshow Bob in the helicopter always trying to get you to tap him, I think. 8)
I actually like seeing the 12 hour task but during Halloween, I was too cheap back then to get Kang and be sick of it.
Also, check your channel 6 building if you have Arnie, he adds a 2 day task to the programming....
+1 :thumbup:
That task pays out $7500 so depending on your %bonus it should pay out nicely
That is awesome, and makes me consider buying him even more. This was the main reason I bought the news van and the worldwide broadcast tower. What is this task? And I am assuming it ties up Arnie for the two days?
My hat is off to EA for this update.....Arnie Pye ROCKS! I have no problem with his flying around town the way they have him set up to do now..you can't reduce his flybys without it looking rediculous. As the old saying goes, you can't please everybody.

I haven't tried it yet as I usually stick to the 8/16hr tasks on the news station but I have noticed that while Arnie is occupied it doesn't grey out so I think it is possible to do with him tied up in a task
