It seems that our Springfield friends are holding back gift bags? 2 items so far?! Halloween you can see the number counter fly!! Moving so fast! Why is it that this time around it's slowing down? I dropped all my gift bags all the time! Don't blame your not getting gift bags to drop off to your friend because I always have enough.
Could be the people with hundreds of friends? If that's if then EA needs to fix that! But it's to late.
We won't see all of those items at this rate....that counter is so fearing slow! My title of the post is meant for EA not for tappers! Just want to make that clear.
Its the droprate of the giftbags that is the issue.
On Christmas its rumored to double, which is why most people are not worried about it.
Halloween counted mass dropped goo(which is gift cards this time around).
Remember how hard it was to get gremlins? Gift bags are the new them.
This is why it seems to be going "omg! so sloooowwwww....".
EA saw the error and significantly dropped the goals for the final 4 prizes for this event.
(A drop from 2.4bil to 1.1bil iirc)
Also, according to spAnser's counter, we will get the final prize in 10 days time at the current rate. That puts us getting it on January 2nd, 5 days before the event end.
RE: doubled bags on Christmas...I'm sure the devs have taken this into account, especially after having run a similar event last Christmas, but I'd expect the total number of players and amount of time spent playing to drop significantly over the next two days while people are having their holiday get-togethers and whatnot. I was thinking maybe that was reason enough to double up on Christmas: to fill the gap left by absent players.
I am just playing with the assumption that we will get them. If we don't get everything there is nothing we can do about it as long as we gave away all the gift bags we got.
In Internet Explorer the times are displayed correctly for me, but a few of the fonts are sized poorly.
In Maxthon (Ultra Mode) the times are displayed incorrectly, showing we still have 7 days to the last prize. Fonts look ok.
In Maxthon (Retro Mode) the times just don't display at all.
Maybe spAnser might see this and try to fix it. Either way there's an easy work around, just use IE

I seem to be finding less and less gift bags daily in my town. Not meaning neighbors dropping them but accumulating them. I have a few neighbors I like to drop 5 a day but it's starting to get to the point that it's not going to be able to happen. I never had a problem like this with gremlins I always had plenty to go around with some to spare when I finished visiting everyone. I've always only had around 50 neighbors never had a problem with events (except wacking day I don't even want to talk about it. :roll: & I was working a lot at the time) but I'm going to fill up my friends list to help this time around.

Also I think that the value of them doubles at Xmas or we get double the gift bags.
Something like that but not sure
The times are displayed, but just completely wrong... for me it's saying it's still 7 days to get santa's workshop (which we got the other day...)
no, looks like that to me too
It's working correctly for me, it's 2 days to get Ebenezer Burns, 7 days to get Yes Man, and 10 to get the cooling towers.
That's strange... it seems that some of us can see it properly and others can't...
Gonna try it in a different browser and see if that helps.
...and thanks for letting me know the dates
Play the game and we get them or we don't
I am just playing with the assumption that we will get them. If we don't get everything there is nothing we can do about it as long as we gave away all the gift bags we got.
You're welcome! Maybe try clearing cookies too. That could cause issues.
