    oi! Help

    advice.

    my googleplex just finished and I leveled up to 63. Advice?
    Will it start again? What should I do or not do.


    John

    Well, are you still at 40,000 XP? If you want to risk getting locked out for a while in exchange for some donuts, go ahead and fire up that collider and start buying rat-trap trucks and see how many donuts you can get. But it looks like it's not going to stay at 40,000 like it did yesterday, so I don't know how many you'll get.

    I'm locked out. Waiting patiently for the "fix" this afternoon. Trying to decide whether I should spend the next hours playing mahjongg on my android, or watching these Photoshop tutorials on my son's laptop, or taking some more Rosetta Stone lessons in Italian on my PC. ... Maybe I could do all three at the same time. Or maybe I could get some Italian-language Photoshop tutorials and photoshop some mahjongg tiles. Would that be cool, or what?

    :)

    Thanks for the explanation, Annette!

    I'm just going to leave it alone for a while and continue focus on the western thing.

    Hopefully I'll stay at level 60, complete my western stuff, and eventually EA will release a fix. They usually do.

    My sympathies to those stressing out over being locked out of their town. I don't think it's fair, i do think mr.snakeyes is being completely rude in the other thread, and i hope you can all be patient and wait for a fix.

    Resetting to zero is unacceptable. I'd demand a complete refund of all money spent if that were the case.
    All my designs look unfinished because i can't place as many plants, streetlights, and fences as i would like. PLEASE REMOVE THE LIMIT, EA!

    I just got back in like 15 minutes ago!!

    Immediately had me level up like 21 times.

    I'm "only" at level 299

    XP levels at 500K. Bought 5 rat trap trucks just to see how that would go (have several hours left of a charged collider). Netted me 3 donuts and 3 levels. Eh, likely won't do any more.

    Overall I think I only netted about 220 donuts. I guess not too bad, unless I think about the people here who got 1000+.

    Actually, bought a few more trucks, so I wouldn't be stuck at 299.

    Got in on my iPad, which was locked out yesterday.

    Got in on both of my Nexuses (Nexi?) ...

    Looks good to go. :)

    Just tell me if you'd like to spend some time chatting in italian instead of taking some lessons in front of a PC ... :)
    At least I'd also know what to do waiting for the Godot patch

    Best not to think about it. For every person who got 1000 extra donuts, someone got locked out at level 63 and was robbed of 1 whole evening of tapped out...

    Assuming 1 evening of tapped out is approximately 1000 donuts worth of joy...

    ^ I'm sorry.


    So if people are getting back in, it sounds like this is right about when I should get locked out, if my regular luck holds.

    If you sell the Googolplex it appears in the store again to purchase a 2nd time, right?

    Level 939, Googolplex finished its no rush build, no problems here.

    Won't start the quest until after the event since the 1st task is for Marge.

    I was never locked out and my gogolplex is done/quests are going.

    um...should I keep going for bonuts? (I'm level 939). I stopped around 4,000 because I feel like I'm good ya know.
    (before you get mad I've spent over $300 on the game as well).

    So with the patch does that mean the donuts have stopped flowing? or only slowed down? lol
    Here is my signature. Or maybe it's not.

    Don't hate on me cause I was glitch free.

    Started with 285m.

    Did the update with no problems, other than I now have a nasty callous on my tapping finger.

    Rushed level 60 - building & all its tasks, since the donuts appeared to be free & flowing.

    Charged my collider & let the leveling have its wicked way with me.

    Bought massive numbers of bloodmobiles & gorged on the donut buffet.

    Hit 939.

    Got the Homerlayas in a 1-2-3-4-5 punch, ie each Simpson one right after another.

    Been in & out of game many times. Visited friends & KL with no issues.

    Now at 271m.

    XP counter now requires 1m to get more donuts, but the collider's charged, so bring on the bloodmobiles & rat traps.

    (multiplier at 695.15%)
