40 donuts to speed up a 1hr task!!!
377 posts
I like this move by EA, i think it's designed to stop people speeding through the tasks and make the event last, i've had to keep going back into my game every hour or two hours to collect the emblems. Not bad in my opinion if that is the case :-)
Note: to any players doing the first bit by Number 1 - don't just send one person on the task, if there are several, get them all in there, it means more emblems!

Thanks, just got there, then saw that they sent Nelson whereas I sent Bart! Panicked
Really? How many more for each additional char?
Does that continue after one of them has done the task or only during that first one?
50 emblems each per character i think. I just unlocked the first of the personal prizes thanks to that last task i had to do, 6 characters on the task, 300 emblems. Brilliant stuff, and a good payout the more characters there are to use
I waited until all the characters were finished that task then tapped the thumbs up, the sacreen automatically scrolls to Number One and you collect the emblems (that's how i play it anyway)
Right---but my only quip is---to do the daily tasks, it's a total of 16 hrs. If I wanted to complete all of them daily, I'd have to start when I wake up, and finish right before bed. All this while making sure I am starting the next task immediately.
I would have been OK with a 14 hour day---16 may be un-reachable for most days for me
I see your point if it's 4 x 4 hour tasks, that is annoying!
With these tasks i have had 3 1hrs tasks and the last one is four hrs so plenty of time to be completed, if you mean the ones that gives you prizes not the emblems then the daily tasks roll over, some people have won prize two before winning prize one
It's 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, and the final at 8hr today (different then yesterday) but puts it well into the night for me---past my bed time actually. And during a work day, it's hard to get back into the game exactly 1 hr, 2hr, etc
How strange i havent had these type of hours come up yet, guess i have just been lucky (so far)
So far today I've had 1 hr "Send an entrepreneur to buy overpriced coffee", a 1 hr "Send a youngster to drink a squishee", and now am on a 2 hr "Send a criminal to study the bible", with the fourth one still to come. So it would seem as though each day's tasks are not the same for each player, which is pretty cool. The good news is that there are many different ways to generate emblems and you aren't going to need to complete all four tasks each day to get all the prizes. I am going on a trip next week and probably won't have time to do the multiple logins they are requiring due to the increased donut cost of speeding up tasks.
Today is 1-1-2-? So I should have it good to finish today easily.
Oh good to see someone else is having similar events tasks as me
That was the pattern I had heard it would be. It sounds to me as if you're getting glitches. (?).
Yay! I saw lots of pyramids in your town last night. So it seems you are collecting well! I didn't get many yesterday. I got some this morning, but I expect to be getting more throughout the day now that people that didn't speed up the building are getting settled in.
Now that I know I can send more than 1 character, I will be doing that. I keep all characters taskless for the time being since I don't know what will be the next one and don't want to track everyone down. While the census is decent, it's still rough going through alphabetically.
After I finish #4 for the day, I will be having a massive meeting for Mrs. Hibbert - I like to take screens with ALL eligible characters. With Chester finishing his story and the few Stonecutters wrapping up their tasks, can't wait to have everybody go to a massive gathering
Yesterday was 1, 1, 4, 8 and today and I am at 1, 2, expecting 4, 8
Dave, that's interesting about the extra people, extra emblems. I only sent two characters to repent but I still only got the regular amount of emblems for completing the task with just one. I got the extra cash and xp of course but no emblems. I am going to try this again with more people and see if there is a difference. Maybe there are only certain gluttons, dimwits, highrollers etc that actually payout emblems so you have to send the right one?
