Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well with this new Episode Tie-In you may notice a couple of strange things popping up in various places. In particular one of Homer’s tasks and the wording on the Egg Generators.
If you tap on Homer you may notice one of his 1hr tasks is now…. *ERROR?! And it’s a joint task with Comic Book Guy! What the heck is up with that?! You also may notice if you tap on the Egg Generators the cash generating name now says…*ERROR!
*ERROR?! What’s going on with TSTO? What’s with all these mysterious Errors? Have no fear we’re here to break it all down for you….
Let’s start off with our beloved Homie…
So when I tapped on Homer this morning I noticed this in his task list:
Now I don’t claim to be a TSTO Expert (after all I didn’t write a book about it or anything)…but after 600+ blog posts here on Addicts and 18 months of tapping I know Homer’s tasks pretty well…and that’s not one of them!
So, curious, I tapped on it. And I discovered it was a joint task with Homer and….Comic Book Guy?! What the heck?! And it sends them to the Simpson house.
Well now this made no sense to me at all. So I did what I always do when I need to figure something out in TSTO, I checked the files. And here’s what I discovered…
It looks like they initially had a task with Homer and CBG for the Milhouse FTW questline and for whatever reason pulled it back. The original task was a 1hr task and called “Reach An Impass with Comic Book Guy” (which explains why he pops up the few times he does in this questline)…and with this quest it makes sense that they would go to the Simpson House. However, it looks like when they pulled it back, it didn’t get pulled back completely and something got lost in translation in the coding. So, the task is still in our games but the title is not. Hence the *ERROR.
So for now, don’t worry too much about it. It won’t impact game play.
Now onto those Egg Generators….
Now you’ll see this when you tap on the MKI and MKII:
This is NOT a change in the “job” they’re doing to earn cash. It looks like it’s simply another case of a mix up in the coding. So the Generator’s will still earn cash, but the name is screwed up. They should say:
MKI- “Converting Egg Molecules To Cash”
MKII- “Assembling Cash From Egg Molecules”
So there you have it…another weird little glitch in this game we all love so much! At least this one does not impact game play…and hey in the case of Homie and CBG it’s actually a nice little cash payout for the weekend!
What do YOU make of the *ERROR’s in our little games? Have you noticed them anywhere else in TSTO lately? Have you noticed any other weird little glitches in TSTO? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!
