Upgrading Characters - easter egg/glitch

thatpaulholm

Hello fellow tapper! This glitch has been corrected in yesterday's update. If it is still working for you...well, then I applaud you. Until I see pics though I will not believe it.
Happy tapping!

Still worked for me this morning. No pics, though.

It was still working a few hours ago. I'll take a screen grab next time

Worked for my wife after the latest update. Also, remember that upgrading your characters also refills their energy.

Just did this myself. So I can confirm.

Pics or it didn't happen?

It happened.

It worked!

I was 4 tickets short and it let me speed the upgrade for 0 donuts. Cool!

Still works for me too. 8)

The cutoff seems to be 14 bucks. If you are short by 14 or less, it costs you 0 donuts to rush. I also think that the thresholds that dictate the number of donuts that it takes to rush upgrades is set to multiples of 14, but I haven't seen enough values to confirm that.

Oh dear Well this will be fixed soon being there talk & pictures about it :roll:

It just worked for me. I was three tickets short and it let me upgrade for zero donuts. Hopefully they don't fix this too quickly!!!

Yeah they're probably using floor() instead of ceiling() or some such. Oh, did I just tell them what to look for?

Still working here, too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it works when you are 9 donuts or less away from the upgrade.

Still works. Just upgraded Homer to 2 stars.

uhhhhhhh, I'm thinking the 0 Donut rush was included on purpose.

It helps to balance things out because ticket getting is slow.

You wouldn't want to be waiting 4 more hours for an upgrade because you fell short by a couple tickets. That'd lead to gripes.


I'm using the "never pay retail" approach to upgrading players. Meaning that if a game's payout takes me up to the total I need to upgrade someone I skip that player's upgrade and look to more aggressively upgrade an already stronger player who can still give me the 0 Donut rush. So far the result hasn't been totally horrible, and this uneven upgrading may be what they wanted to encourage.

Hopefully they don't fix it, it's already too much to upgrade AND try to get the prizes too with the same currency (for the moment anyways).

My reply is delayed but what I'm noticing is when you use the zero donut rush it still spends the amateur bucks you do have so this is kind of like a discount feature if it is not a bug. I'm inclined to think that if it were a bug then it would rush and not spend the amateur bucks. If you rush for 1 or more donuts does it spend amateur bucks too?

AARONRTD

If you don't have enough bucks you can spend donuts for the remaining amount, this includes all of your bucks that you have. This is not a glitch and you still spend all your bucks, unless you have zero bucks then it's 100% donuts (I think the maximum out of donuts is 16-19 that will get you upgraded to the next level)

Neglecterino

This is worth a bump. And to add something...

You can use this to not only get a 14 AB discount, but also to get a recharge, since upgrading recharges. The point being that you might be able to play a second game immediately. Example: You have 7 active players. Play tap-ball with 4; choose wisely. Now use the discount to upgrade one inactive player and you now have 4 active players for another game.

Same idea works with other combinations.
