Donuts From Visiting Neighbours!

KMonk023 · August 7, 2014 5:23PM

Roughly in the range of 40-50 donuts total for me. I get anywhere from 0-5 donuts when I visit all 99 friends.

I have been taking advantage of those random, free donuts that pop up from visiting neighbours ever since it started when the Friend Points were added in February, I believe it was. I've gotten around 180 donuts so far and I got 4 as recent as today. How many do you think you've gotten since it started?

Hello and welcome to the forum. I see you have already made 11 posts in your first week. Well done! That is an impressive amount of donuts. Again, welcome to the forum and happy tapping!

Now that I have finished the FP, I usually get 1 or 2 per day. Hopefully, I can save up for a good premium item!

I tend to get 3-5 a week. My luck seems to have run out on the donuts from friend tapping.

I usually don't get any. Occasionally, I get one. I'm getting sick of it. Those are pretty precious to freemium players like me.

I'm nearly discouraged enough to quit playing.

how many friends do you have? I guess below 20 you have little chance to get one. Now that I have 80+, i normally get at least one donut per day...its just a numbers game.

Yes, I have 99 friends, plus Other Springfield, so 100 towns to visit per day. I typically get 1-2 donuts per day. I am not sure how many I have earned from visiting friends since the FP bonus was added earlier this year, but I would guess it is over 100. I know for sure that since the end of the 4th of July event I have started to take a screen pic everytime I receive a donut. I have earned 37 donuts over the past 24 days, or about 1.5 donuts per day. The most I have ever received in one day is 4. After I got 4, I got 3 the next day, and then nothing for 2 days straight. So it all evens out. I like taking advantage of this, plus the balloons in KL, and bonus level ups, I have earned quite a few free donuts over the past month.

I get 1 or 2 a day which makes it worthwhile to visit my neighbors.

More than 90 I think. I fill my fiends list, and gradually eliminate those who quit playing.

I just counted. I have 89 friends. I'll head up to the add me section to get some more. I doubt it will mean getting many more donuts when visiting neighbors.

cooldaddy421 · August 7, 2014 9:26PM

After a few days with none I got 4 today. I do hope tomorrow will be just as good. But then it is all cool with me free or not it is just an game.

mikepellerin60 · August 7, 2014 9:53PM

I havn't gotten any in about a week and a half. I get all excited when I see pink flash near the money drops, but it's usually a flower pot or something.

Edit: typo

Thanks JimJ321, it's really interesting to hear what other people are thinking about TSTO. Ya I'm pretty happy about the donuts I've gotten from visiting neighbours, it can be time consuming but its worth it for free donuts.

I maxed out FPs 3 weeks ago. Since then I've had all of 3 doughnuts through visits. All of 1 per week.

cakeinvestigator · August 8, 2014 6:30AM

I can't get through my friends without the gasme crashing every 4-5 towns so I just haven't been doing it lately. But I've probably gotten around 100 before the problems.

chrisgyo · August 8, 2014 8:32AM

sounds like I should do more of this

I hate it though its so boring

hm, then you should get something daily...but also realised in the past that there are good weeks and bad weeks (maybe its EA's wicked understanding of 'chance' again).

Keep on trying - so do I as a freemium as friend-visits are one of the few possibilites to get donuts

pattimesseng · August 8, 2014 10:16AM

As a freemium player, who has played since the beginning, I need something to look forward to. I maxed out on land and water and Squidport tiles a very long time ago. I have bought everything I want with game cash, and I have nearly $24,000,000 banked. Same with Krusty Land. I have everything I want that is available for tickets.

So unless there is an event, the game is pretty boring. Every day I tap my players and buildings, get more game cash or KL ticket, that I can never use. Right now, the only things I want are only available with donuts. And EA has reduced the payout on those to the point that it isn't much of a motive to go through the monotomy of visiting friends towns. I can go for days of visiting friends towns without getting one.

EA, please quit being so stingy with the donuts!

chrisgyo · August 8, 2014 11:12AM

meh I just wasted 20minutes going through all my friends and got ZERO donuts

waste of time

even if I had got ONE donut...what is that worth?? 20 cents? lol...my time is worth more than $1 an hour

Tara1qt · August 8, 2014 11:21AM

I average about 2-3 a day. And there are definitely good days (5+ donuts found) and bad days (0 donuts). One thing I've noticed and it could be a coincidence is that if there is a day where I split up how I visit friends (half now half later) I don't seem to get as much as if I visit all friends at the same time.

For a chance at finding donuts, even one - I'll be visiting my friends daily!

steviebwell · August 8, 2014 11:25AM

I average about 1-2 a day for a week and then go a whole week not getting any even though I visit my neighbors everyday.
