Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is gearing up for a nice weekend ahead, I know I am! A little r&r never hurt anyone, right?
Anyway, seeing LOADS of conflicting comments over the latest event to hit TSTO. Some of you love it, some of you hate it and some of you are so pissed you’re quitting TSTO altogether.
Now, I know often times the most vocal about something are the ones who aren’t happy with it. And those who are happy are generally the ones who stay silent. So I thought why not do a little poll. This way no one has to know who’s saying what, and we can get a feel for what the community in general thinks. So please take a minute to answer the poll questions below…
Thanks!
And one more…
Don’t really like what they did to KL. I had purchased all of the KL land… the least they could have done was make it a one for one swap for land size. At this rate, I feel like EA cheated me out of the hard work that I put into KL. I had twice the amount of KL land versus what they gave me in Land Tokens. I also don’t like the idea that I have to wait on free land tokens in order to expand instead of using in game cash, like it used to be. This is the one major change that has given me pause on several occasions to just quit. As much money as I have poured into this game, I feel that I am no longer getting my moneys worth.
FWIW, I received exactly the 100 tokens representing the 100 patches of KL land.
I really liked my K-land but messed up and didn’t take screen shots before it was nuked. Also, I want my Krusty fountain back! I made sure to save one for my entrance and it is not in my inventory.
While I didn’t visit Krustyland all that often, I’m disappointed that all the effort I put into creating it was wasted…and that I now have to put it my main town, which I didn’t want to do and still don’t want to do.
The prize track for the event is kind of weak. I would like to have the female network executive roaming around, as I want all the characters I can get. But I don’t really care about anything else offered in wave 1. The tasks seem pointless, there doesn’t seem to be any way to up the bonus area, and there’s no way I’m spending $300 on scratchy.
I’ll still keep playing, but I’m not really having fun right now. This event is where the game changed from something I look forward to doing every day, multiple times a day, to something I’m doing just because I don’t want to be a quitter. (And have nothing better to do)
Id be fine with KL if they let you buy missing land tokens after nuking. I currently cannot fit my old KL in my town with the addition of all the I&S items. Until tokens are purchasable, my enjoyment of the event is limited.
I liked my krustyland separate – I wouldn’t have minded it being nuked if I had been able to add it next to Springfield heights – plenty of space there and it would have only needed a tunnel to get there.
My initial reaction when reading the quest line was horror – all the time spent making things nice and why nuke it? Nobody asked me if i wanted it gone yet they talked as if nobody liked it *at all*. They should have asked us via the game if we wanted it gone, I’m sure they would have received a different reply.
I nuked it without storing anything as I knew I’d have to design from scratch to fit it all in and have space for the event.
Since the event started, I’ve had to change my password every day in order to get into the game but this morning, even that is not working ! Thought about sitting out act 1 but that will leave me so far behind on the crafting levels, I’ll never be able to catch up !! Have fun playing, those of you who can !!!!!
Hey Diane same happened to me. I then sent the password change, deleted the app, reinstalled the app and then the password change worked. It’s a great event don’t sit out even if this is a pain in the butt!
I don’t mind it in my Springfield, only now I cannot move freely through my Springfield to get to all the other stuff. It’s so glitchy
I think you should separate the blowing up of KL and the event. After all, the nuking of KL is permanent, the event temporary.
1) blowing up the absolutely obsolete KL: great
2) getting free land tokens: great (although a “buy all of the land you can” warning ingame would have been nice)
3) the event: a boring, uninspired grind fest with prices that are mostly just non cannon clutter and no storyline whatsoever. Hate it.
I really wanted to use the 40+ (!!!) days of snorefest to do a complete makeover of my town, but with the fustercluck of bugs going around, I haven’t got the guts to pull that trigger. EA should let users download a local copy of the things in their towns or give some way of keeping track of all the stuff you “own”. It is impossible to keep track of everything and by now, my trust in this game / programming is so low, I believe with 99% certainty that a nuking of my town would lead to the inexplicable disappearance of tons of stuff. And tp have to go through the hell that is EA helpdesk… No thanks.
Getting closer and closer to quitting on the game. Daily player since the Stonecutters event.
I don’t really have a preference one way or the other that Krustyland is gone. I’m a little frustrated that we’re still collecting Krustyland tickets instead of bringing cash for the same rides. Additionally, the items are adding to the same conform o meter of Krustyland and not for the conform o Meter of the town. Will we still get a 5% bonus if we bring our new Krustyland section up to five star rating how would we know.
I can’t nuke Krustyland! When I do it gets nuked on the neighbour screen, then the game closes. When I re-open in Krustyland is back!
Why didn’t they open up and allow us to use land that’s unused in the back portion of Springfield Heights to rebuild Krustyland? At least this would have been less disruptive to our existing town designs and they could have allowed us to purchase that area with saved cash, KL tickets, or tokens, our choice. They could also have easily built a new tunnel and shuttle design into that area specifically from the old KL Shuttle which strangely still has an animation for some and not others. Seems they got lazy and didn’t think this through very well.
The KL shuttle is still animated for some because they have 5 stars on the Krusty-meter or whatever it is called. That part of the game still works the same. Get your KL stuff out of inventory and you’ll see it get upgraded, put it back in storage and you’ll see the lower level of the KL shuttle.
I finally realized that and thought d’oh!
Totally agree 😊🇬🇧
I’m glad too see others are having a lag in their game, and I’m not the only one. ( I thought my ole iPad mini was finally dead and couldn’t handle the game anymore) I like this event, though, I think I would have prevered Krustyland to be on the other side of the mountains, like the rich people place. Given us more land there?
I wish we could’ve kept Krustyland separate. I am excited about all the new content coming up for Itchy and Scratchy Land, but It’s going to take some time to redesign Krustyland for both of my Springfields, and the lag and item cap is killing me. I am also excited to get all the premium items I hadn’t yet purchased for Krustyland at a discount! The return of the Twirl n Hurl was a welcome surprise. The 100 extra land tiles was helpful, but now my Springfield is enormous! It takes some time to clear all the buildings. Lastly, please EA, make the Krustyburger monorail station available. Krustyland is so far away, my Springfielders are too exhausted to walk all that way.
It’s a game, just a game. 😄.
I’m on the fence. The Itchy and Scratchy Land side of the event is decidedly “meh” for me so far. Not going to put a huge amount of effort into Act 1 because I don’t see much that I really, desperately want from it.
If I am completely honest I’m sceptical that there’s really enough Itchy and Scratchy material to support an entire event. A mini-event maybe, but three acts? I’ve a feeling eventually we’re going to end up with a mish-mash of random content they can’t fit in anywhere else, a bit like the final act of The Springfield Jobs, where we had items from Cuba, Latin America, Australia and the Netherlands all lumped together without rhyme nor reason.
On the other hand, I am pleased with the Krustyland-related changes. I didn’t hate Krustyland so I don’t feel the overwhelming joy some people do at seeing it nuked – but I am very, very happy with some of the Krustyland decorations that have now become available for Springfield.
A bit off topic but if you place the second Krustyland Transport bus, you can now teleport between the two bus stops.
If you upgrade the pool it takes you to the KL shuttle!
Cool. I’ve had mine in storage for so long, I’ve forgotten they even exist.
My only gripes are the lag, not getting advance notice about the land tokens, and that the new stuff is going to make me redesign part of my town. It makes a lot of sense to move KL to regular Springfield. I rarely went there. I’ll also be happy to get rides out of the mystery box that I wasn’t previously willing to buy.
I liked the concept of KrustyLand, but because there were no visual tasks there, I only visited there for Sideshow You and while I was there, I would collect whatever tickets needed to be collected. If there had been more or ANY visual tasks there, I may had used it more.
KrustyLand was also good for clearing up some minor bugs. If something wasn’t working or showing properly, a visit to KL and back would often solve it. Now we won’t have that option. That being said, I liken now having everything in one place instead of having to wait to load another game section each time you visited KL and returned back to Springfield.
Good point about clearing up bugs by moving between town and KL, forgot about that part.
Wish there had been an “Other” (aka “Something else”) option for the second (“What Did You Think About Krustyland”) poll, because I didn’t really see my answer.
The closest I saw was “Indifferent” (though that’s not really how I felt), so I ended up voting for that.
Basically I was “Frustrated” with Krustyland. I liked it… ok. Or ‘well enough’. But I didn’t go there often because they abandoned it long ago.
It was a good idea (imho), but with terrible (non-existent) execution.
If they were ever going to do something with it, then I would’ve wanted to keep it there. But since they *didn’t* do anything with it (for years), it was probably better that they took it out behind the barn and put it out of its misery. 😐
I never got to see the poll at all and feel a little left out, but I’ll get over it eventually since I miss most everything and wish I’d at least seen the result.
I don’t mind losing Krustyland but I wasn’t finished doing the Krusty-est place on Earth quest and ‘Radioactive Man, the Ride’ is not in my inventory, nor is it for sale.
The next quest I have is for that ride, which is nowhere to be found, any suggestions?
Thanks!
I don’t want Krustyland or Itchy&Scratchy Land in my Springfield. A few KL things might come out of storage, but so far all I’ve pulled is the Ferris wheel (because a character is tied to it) and Sideshow You. And some of the shrubs, I guess, always nice to have more shrubbery. I’m halfheartedly playing the event because I want the land tokens and not much else. The rides and such will all be stored as soon as the event is over. I think they could have revitalized Krustyland with all the Itchy & Scratchy stuff. That might have irritated some folk, but more clutter for our towns and inventories wasn’t a good solution, because that irritates everyone.
I’d like to redesign with all this new land, but the lag is so bad that I’ve given up. (No, disconnecting the track did not fix it.) This event is just really frustrating overall and I don’t like it.
I mostly forgot about KL, unless a daily challenge sent me there. Then I would collect tickets and play Sideshow You. A friend and I had recently agreed we wished KL could just be moved to Springfield, and next thing we know–this event. I had bought all the available KL land, so I have lots of space to play with. I’m combining I/S and KL into one big park. One possibly dumb question–when we collect tickets, are they accumulating anywhere? I’m only seeing XP go up, and no account of tickets.
the count of tickets is mostly hidden, just like the amount of SH currencies, you can see it if you go to the KL section of the store
Thanks! I had failed to notice that when I browsed that part of the store right after the nuking.
When it first came out I worked really hard to make my KLand look nice and I was proud of it and a little irritated that I had to nuke it. I don’t like adding all the stuff to my town, I feel like it’s a little bit laggy. I haven’t had the desire to log in at all today, I think I’m going to sit out the rest of this event.
I can’t connect my race track or the subsequent lag is unbearable 🙁 I still have lag with it unconnected when moving more than one item at a time.
My neighbor’s race track looks great, though :S It runs smoothly and causes no lag???
Crap! I just accidentally leveled up in the crafting area. I was trying to find the park goers and I lost track of how close I was to leveling up. D’oh!
I’d be happy if they’d let be BUY land. I can’t put anything anywhere. The land tokens stink. And 300 donuts for the cat? Really?
I’m glad I bought every available piece of land available in KL because it meant I got a crap ton of free land tokens in my Springfield.
I thought they should have given us 2 dates. The nuking krustyland by this date and the start of the event, that way some of us could have scrambled to purchase extra land before we had to nuke it, as opposed to nuking it early because we were worried it was cutting into our event time.
I like the build your own rides part but the prize track is a little weak for act one at least.
I’m also pleased that itchy was free, but man is scratchy expensive.
My ‘something else’ vote is due to the fact that I can’t judge the event yet as I have yet to be able to successfully nuke krustyland. Went through suggested possible fixes but I seem to be waiting for EA to patch things or hopefully all will be fixed after kl gets automatically nuked. I have not been tapping as much due to the issues……and I am ok with it, so EA had better fix things quick or a 5+ year tapper will call it a day.😞
My KL will never be the same! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭due to the item restrictions. Plus my Springfield is becoming so huge that I am seriously getting lost!
