Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Update time in Springfield! We’re all getting antsy sitting at home, so it’s nice to have an update to focus on! What’s in store for us this time? Well, it’s time for Burns and Aristotle Amadopolis to have yet another clash of tapping proportions!
With Act 1, one new premium character was introduced. In addition to helping with event currency, Professor Werner von Brawn comes with his own, short, individual questline, so let’s take a look at the full dialogue questline now…
Hard Science Pt. 1
Prof Werner von Brawn starts
Prof Werner von Brawn: What’s this? My application to lecture at my alma mater, University of Heidelberg, has been rejected! While U.H. boasts the finest Physics AND Professional Wrestling departments on the continent, I suppose, I have neglected one for the other. Perhaps boning up on my physics credentials will help them reconsider…
Make Werner von Brawn Get Frustrated by Difficult Physics Problem- 4hrs, Earns $260, 70xp
Hard Science Pt. 2
Prof Werner von Brawn starts
PWvB: This is ludicrous! How can physics be harder than wrestling?!
Frink: Don’t be so hoyvin-glavin on yourself. You’ve been more focused on biting and the Body Pressing and the Whatsit-Wheelbarrow Drivers… Maybe try attacking the rasslin’ and sciencing together to see where that takes you!
PWvB: Yes…yes, that might work!
Frink: Um, why are you staring at me like that?
Make Werner von Brawn Bodyslam Frink to Measure Higgs Boson- 8hrs, Earns $420, 105xp
PWvB: Hmmm… those results were entirely expected, and therefore entirely dull. But my intellectual passions are once again ignited! Now to find the right problem to solve.
Frink: Try solving my fractured fibulas hoy-flavin!
Hard Science Pt. 3
Prof Werner von Brawn starts
PWvB: Ah, when inspiration strikes, it strikes like an Atomic Elbow Drop! Let’s try it!
Frink: But I’m still healing from your last inspiration.
PWvB: But this one is a quantum-based model of curved spacetime!
Frink: Mhoyvin! It sounds painful.
Make Werner von Brawn Twist Frink to Model Curved Spacetime- 24hrs, Earns $1,000, 225xp
PWvB: Bah! This isn’t how spacetime curves.
Frink: This isn’t how my back curves either!
Hard Science Pt. 4
Prof Werner von Brawn starts
PWvB: A breakthrough! This one is a guaranteed Nobel Prize winner!
Frink: Not again!
PWvB: One word: Cavity Optomechanics!
Frink: My cavities are off limits to science and wrestling!
PWvB: Hey wait — come back!
Make Werner von Brawn Chase Frink Around the Ring- 2hrs, Earns $175, 40xp
Make Frink Run Away From Werner von Brawn- 4hrs, Earns $260, 70xp
PWvB: Now that’s what I call a spatial superposition!
Frink: *whimper* I hurt all the way down to my nanoparticles!
Hard Science Pt. 5
Prof Werner von Brawn starts
PWvB: What?! The Nobel Committee rejected my application! And the University of Heidelberg turned me down again!
Frink: On the bright side, you’re nominated for a Slammy Award as top wrestling superstar of the year.
PWvB: WOO! Victory slam!
Frink: Oy-NOOO!
Make Werner von Brawn Taunt Opponents with his Muscles- 8hrs, Earns $420, 105xp
And this concludes the premium dialogue for Act 1, of the Simpsons Wrestling Event!
Thoughts on the first Act? Did you buy Prof Werner von Brawn? Thoughts on the dialogue? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
Professor Werner von Brawn
Waaaay back in 1991, Konami released The Simpsons Arcade Game (a beat ’em up that has Professor Werner von Brawn as your 1st Boss Battle in Downtown Springfield – it’s in the 1st segment of the video footage below !) 🤓

B-b-but his name is a pun on Rocket Scientist Dr. Wernher von Braun (hey that didn’t stop Walt Disney from hiring Dr. von Braun, along with NASA – now who else remembers this 16mm film shown in school science class?) 🤓

Ok, back to the TSTO Character – I ❤️ ’em! His Visual Tasks are funny! Obviously my nerd 🤓 self got a good chuckle with his dialogue involving Professor Frink (“hoyvin-glavin hoy-flavin!”) and that University of Heidelberg Building (so glad other Tappers are finding a place for it in the Castles / Wizard World area, too!) 👍🏻
I look forward to the other Premium Character Combos in this Event (and I’d ❤️ to see them all have a Visual Task in a Wrestling Ring!)
Same here in Sweden. Cannot connect.
My secondary game on my phone can connect fine. My primary game on my iPad cannot. Barely even starts up before that stupid Bart screen comes up. Same Wi-Fi network, same internet access. Rebooted, deleted, re-installed. Same thing.
Server keeps crashing. Have tried everything.
Same here in the UK…
My account was reset to the end of Black Pride period!
A lot of progress was gone. Seems like a big database problem at EA. let us hope they have a more resent back up!!!!
even worse guys!
I did connect 20 minuges ago and the game was RESET to black pride periode! So I have lost a lot of progress. right now I can not connect any more.
this looks like a major crash at EA side with a database restore in progress!
New day but still unable to connect, servers still down 😞🇬🇧
I sent my almost all my characters on the ‘Flock to Springfield Elite Wrestling ‘. Now I can’t get them out of the quest. I tap and it seems that they have finished but they aren’t available to send on another. I log out and back in then tap them again. Groundhog Day all over again. So far I have made $300,000,000 and 3000 donuts. Anyone else having trouble? I want to get on with the event.
So, about 30 minutes ago, I finally got into the game after an update. Started to play, got kicked out . When I went back to play, I had been logged out and now I keep getting an error message related to being unable to log in.
This is such a joke.
I just submitted a case related to this at ea.com (my login/password worked there). So we shall see.
EA server seems to be back up and running .
Good luck and hope you’ll be able to get back in to your game .
Drive it like you stole it . See ya bye. 👽🛸
log in has been difficult for a week message coming in that it needs to download 1835 mb of data to the game…..now not connecting to server either 🙁
Technical Issues have been a problem for EA with every platform and every Console Game (Game App) ….. buuuut that 1836mb of data (either you are running out of memory on your device, or your internet is being tethered – free up space and see if that helps. If not? try to not get discouraged by the fact everybody is online while under home quarantine – try logging into the Game App randomly and see if that helps. Also how many devices are using internet in your household – so many technical situations could impede in your TSTO enjoyment).
I hope you get back to Tapping soon!👍🏻
I was working on Werner von Braun tasks starting yesterday but have not been able to log on to server since I woke up this morning 😟
Unable to connect to Server dozens of times both on WiFi and Cellular. Another EA fiasco? So far, meh!
Same here in Indiana. It’s almost 5pm.
I’m getting this error since early this morning:
The EA network could not be reached at this time. Please try again later.
Is anyone else getting persistent “Cannot connect to the server” messages?
Me to i have a problem to connect server in Poland :/
Yep. Came here to see if anyone else was getting it, or if I was special.
You will always be special .😀
Drive it like you stole it . See ya bye . 👽🛸
Man, I would love to be playing right now but I haven’t been able to log in since 6 am this morning. Server is not connecting.
Me too
