Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Pack your bags and prepare for an invasive screening at the airport because it’s travel time in Springfield! And while our towns are embracing their ever expanding airports, our donut bank is shrinking because there are LOADS of worldly items in our stores just tempting us with those sprinkles!
Of course with that limited-time label it can be tempting to buy everything that looks awesome because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should Arc de Triomphe to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this famous archway to your Springfield…
Decoration/Building: Arc de Triomphe
Donut Price: 80 Dounts
Earns: 2.75% bonus on all cash and XP
Size: 6×8
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +200
Leaves Stores February 13th
Pros
-Interesting looking decoration for Springfield
-Comes with a small bit of dialogue for Homer to eat a Napoleon
-Animated when in use (and when tapped), lights turn on. When you tap you can turn the lights on or off.
Cons
-Task for Homer is not permanent AND does not earn at a premium rate (at least as of this writing)
-2.75% bonus for 80 donuts spent is a terrible bonus return on donuts spent. (40 donuts typically gets you 2%..so you can get 4% for 80 dounts spent…typically)
Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
Unless you’ve got a specific design in mind using the Arc, I’d pass. Lack of good animation, permanent character task there & terrible bonus % really make this one a meh in my mind. If you’ve got a design in mind and think you can use it, pick it up. Otherwise pass and save your donuts for something better down the line.
Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do. And I can tell you as a premium player, I’m likely passing on this one. Just remember this is limited time, and will be leaving our stores soon. Whatever you decide, So be sure to make your final decision before it’s gone from our games for good. (or for now..)
Here’s a look at the dialogue and task that pops up:
Arc De Tirades
Homer starts
Lisa: The real Arc de Triomphe was built by Napoleon Bonaparte to celebrate his greatest victory.
Homer: The invention of the pastry called the “Napoleon”.
