We’ll have more to say about this event in the next episode of Addicts Live. But, for now, enjoy the Event and have fun! And be sure to sound off in the comments below. You know we love hearing from you.
One thing you could add to the conclusion part where listing how many cycles must be done in how many days, is that you could add how many cycles in a day should be made. So for freemium it is 23/9=2,556, which means I can send characters to work like 3 times a day and there is no issue in completing.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I noticed when I try to search anything here it takes me to google not this. I tried to search the robotics box for example and no luck here.
Where Did you search? The link on the menu or the link on the sidebar? (If you’re on mobile the sidebar would be at the bottom of the page)
The menu search takes you to a Google search of our site. It’s more advanced but the first few options (in the yellow) are usually paid search listing. The rest (in the white) are search listing from this site.
Hi,
New here. I started playing this game a little less then a year ago. It was the end of May & there were rumbling of some Wrestling going on, but at the time I had no idea what any of it was about & couldn’t do much to participate. Anyway, this wasn’t intended as my 1st post, as I’ve had other things I was considering commenting on, however, reading this I wanted to point something out.
First off, I never understood what the “calendar” was all about or what purpose it served. After reading this post & the one previous, I now understand it better, & while I, personally, don’t need it, as I can figure out the math in my head, I can understand how it’s helpful for others. I like how it is broken down, Freemium & Premium. Appreciate all the work everyone puts into this site, but I wanted to point out, you have Frink listed as a Freemium Character. Maybe I’m missing something, again only being around less then a year, but in my game I thought he was a premium character. I don’t have him, & to get him costs 150 donuts. I understand that for the purposes of this event, he may only earn event currency at a freemium rate, but he’s actually a premium character. Therefore, a truly freemium player, would need to complete this event without Frink, & therefore has one less character to use. Personally, I’ll still have no trouble finishing this & again, I know the math of what I need to do, so it’s fine either way, but I wanted to point it out, in case others, also without Frink, may want to know why their numbers are off from what is shown here.
Again, not trying to be antagonistic or create more work for anyone, just thought it might be worth mentioning. While I noticed this during the first phase, seeing this point, with the different versions, I figured I’d point out the “missing” Frink-less Freemium option. Hope it’s ok I posted this.
Thanks for listening. Do with this what you wish.
Welcome! Glad you delurked to introduce yourself. There’s a good gang here and Alissa does an awesome job of running this site (with help from Safi). I’ll leave it to her to address your concern, but I just wanted to say hi!
Thanks for pointing out Frink not being available to all. I’ve already made the calendars for the next two acts as well, so it will be more the same. But thanks for pointing it out. If there’s a lot more people who have same issue and don’t have Frink, I’ll make another extra calendar for the next two Acts.
Like I said, just pointing it out. Makes no difference to me, as I never understood the point of it all before this event. However, this new format does highlight the Character usage more so then before. Same thing happened with the Christmas Event, as I did not have Rabbi Krustofsky during the first Act, but was able to pick him up from the Winter Wonderland Box with the daily tickets & then I had him for the rest of the event. Also Meathook & Ramrod, from the previous event.
Just something to keep in mind for future events. Or not, I’m good either way.
Hi wozziewoo
You’ve made valid points as a new Tapper …. while Safi’s Calendar can prove to be helpful, it’s also beneficial to have as many Characters as possible in order to maximize your obtaining of Event Currency every 4 hours (or if you are loaded with 🍩’s? you can choose to expedite).
There is no wrong or right way to enjoy the TSTO Game App, it’s nice that EA lets you decide how to play (hopefully with each new Mystery Box? you can decide what prior Content is of interest).
Enjoy your time tapping and building your Springfield. 😀👍🏻
Oh, don’t worry about me. I’ve never had any trouble finishing any of these events super early. I do 4 cycles every day. (Plus an 8 hour “overnight” task) I should be done with the Act by Wednesday. Interestingly, even without Frink, it should still take me only 23 or 24 cycles to finish. Which is the same or 1 extra from what is listed above, because when I finish a part only “collect” however many I need to finish, & then collect the rest once the next part starts.
I actually don’t have a lot of donuts. I wish I could get more, but I would never waste them on speeding up a task. BTW, I always put all characters, not needed on a quest, on 1 hour tasks, as many times as I can get them in. (Except Helen Lovejoy, she apparently has no 1 hour task, & her timing always trips me up.)
Anyway, wasn’t really trying to make any of this about me. Just wanted to point out the other “version” that exists, given how nicely, everything was broken down, not for my benefit, bit for anyone else who might need it, if not for this event, but as awareness for a future event where it may happen.
I like the new approach better! By the end, though, you’ll be having to generate five separate calendars! But if that doesn’t bother you, then I think you’ve found a better solution (although I wonder whether it will get harder for a person to find “their” calendar towards the end, unless they’re completely freemium). Also, one suggestion for future improvement….it might be nice to see what the goals (totals) are for each part (maybe under the word “Complete” or something?).
Thanks for doing these!
Buenos tardes, Safi
Thank you for the detailed Calendar for Act 2 (literally making it easy for any Tapper to follow whether they got Premium Characters, or not, because part of grinding is using Characters to your best advantage).
💜 my Robot Rumble Studios (Building), just waiting on Character Tasks (since they don’t have the logo on the Building, I’d like a Testosterone Network Sign). 😅
