Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Thoughts on Panther Marge and the Manor? Will you be spending the donuts to bring it to your Springfield? Did you already? Why or why not? Where have you placed it in your town? Design plans? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
And feel free to share some photos of your design plan as well! If you need help (or a refresher) posting photos in the comments, check out this post.
I think EA should give us the option to keep all the 15 dinosaurs even if it mean buying them as a pack of NPCs, even if it means buying them 😁😎🏴
I really feel they were desperately searching for a theme for this event this year… Jurassic Park, The Isle of Dr. Monroe… Instead of focusing on one thing they went the shotgun approach of the episodes and it’s suffered quite badly as a result. So many other characters we could have gotten from both spoofs…
Last event was 4 themes
practically every Multi-Act Event this year is failing for various reasons – too loooong, half the Prizes aren’t rewarding, Event Plot gets dumb trying to thread various Episodes together (and those of us who have Tapped for almost 10 years are running out of space!)
If it really was that awesome? it would be reflected in the comments on the Official Facebook Page (where you find that the ‘verification code’ has also sucked the life out of the Game App for those who cannot log back in).
And finally? Peruse the Google Play Store, locate every similar
Game App, you will find a Halloween Event (you take the 🎃 out of October and you get Tappers who lose interest! it’s going to be really fun to see what happens if EA fails Christmas ☃️🎄 ).
As I mentioned before, The Island of Dr. Moreau parodied in THOH Treehouse of Horror XIII as “The Island of Dr. Hibbert” would have been perfect as a Mini Event (in fact? Halloween the Game App should’ve been 2 separate Mini Events with a week break in-between!) VS returning prior Content with the addition of New Content (and we get minimal!) is a FAIL …. the video proves my point – look at all that potential Content that EA ignored (geeze we could have had half human half animal roaming NPC’s to Tap!).

Mad Dr. Hibbert’s Manor – kinda big (Building), at least Marge Simpson has a Character Task there (because EA got L-EA-Z-Y and didn’t include one for Mad Dr. Hibbert – lol!) not that animated when in use!
Panther Marge – full Character (not a Character Skin), Voiced, has Character Tasks at the House of Pain (Building) and Hibbert Island Bungalow(s) (Building), Visual Character Tasks are amusing, 2 Character Tasks feel incomplete because our Game App is missing Walrus Homer Simpson (and why? because EA was L-EA-Z-Y and dumb for not thinking about ‘other Content’ from this THOH Segment that should be in the Game App!)
Spend the sprinkles, you’ll enjoy the Panther Marge Questline more than you will Act 3’s (yeah there’s an Island of Dr. Hibbert, just don’t ask why it’s not part of any Questline aka why there’s no Character Tasks on it!) I guess I made space in my Springfield for something this year, it’s just not very Halloween-ish 🎃 .
I agree & believe most players would have welcomed a proper Halloween event. Yes I know it’s a THOH event but come on EA let’s get back to some of the traditional stuff, not everyone has played the game since the year dot & have the items long time players have.
Get it right for Christmas EA or I fear many will turn away from the game for good.
