Hey there Hoppereenos. Jumpin in her again for more help on items we are seeing trending in many players games. So let’s hop right to it.
We already discussed a few other glitches going on in the post HERE. Feel free to take a look at that one too.
MISSING SHIELDS: First up, and I think the most important, Defending your Springfield. Many reports are flying in that players are leaving their Shields untapped in order to help out their neighbors to earn more money.
Sadly, this needs to stop. Players are now experiencing a bad glitch in that when they see the shields, leave to go on neighbor visits, and return…the shields are gone. This is not a good glitch at all. Not only are YOU losing out on that Gold and Elixr collection, but so is the Attacker that put it there. In order to combat that…from now on…I would highly suggest to tap on ALL Shields and clear them out. That way YOU and the Attacker are at least getting something vs nothing at all.
In the meantime, those of you hit by this contact EA right away. This WILL impact your game play. Also, put your info on the Forums to keep this item at the top of the list and on high alert until EA fixes it.

Missing or Locked Castle/Skin combos: This one is not so much a glitch, but more a reminder of how this particular style of Event plays out. I am seeing a lot of comments asking where Lisa and/or her Castle is. Same with Bart and Marge.
It comes down to this… Lisa does not show until you build her Castle. Bart too. In order to Build them…you have to finish Part 9 of Prince and the Premise. Then it will trigger the dialog, Eco Castle Part 1, for Lisa to build hers. Once complete, she will show up. Then shortly after she’s completed, Bart’s questline to build his, Boxed In Part 1, will trigger and the same thing…once done, he will arrive. Marge comes later on when her task Power of Upgrades asks for her to Throw Fireballs. Only at that point will she open up to be able to use.
Missing Elixr Truck: Now this one is strange as we are getting conflicting reports on both ends. When you have reached the accumulation of 9500 Gold, you will be awarded an 4000 Elixr truck.
Some players state they do get the Elixr right away while others are stating there is nothing there. I am not sure if the Elixr Only Wednesday set up is impacting this. As it is not Wednesday, I am unable to test this theory. So here is my suggestion, if you do NOT get the Elixr added to your total or have the truck tucked into your Inventory…contact EA. It is better to open a ticket now just in case. You can always update it later if your truck does arrive on Wednesday.
We will keep an eye out for any other trending issues in the meantime. Just remember, if you are having issues try some Basic Troubleshooting…if that doesn’t help, Contact EA and post on the forums.
Did this help you out? Notice anything else odd? Let us know.
