There you have it, over to you. Is this a must-buy, a maybe or a hard-pass?
Your opinions might help any Addict who’s not made up their minds yet so please share your thoughts in the comments.
Back on Monday with a look at the stuff back in store.
Have a good weekend everyone.
haven’t been able to play for 3 days. won’t load. donut just spins.
Perhaps read the thread that went up before this one …
https://tstoaddicts.com/2023/10/06/game-not-loading-thoh-2023/
Infuriating, I don’t think those tips actually work, based on the reports I’ve been seeing from people who tried them. I think the only real fix is an uninstall/reinstall, which, of course, people who play anonymously can’t do without losing everything. (But I guess there’s a lesson to be had from that…)
There’s a short + sweet updated bug post.
Everyone that’s confirmed what the device is has been on iOS.
Only a couple of things reported as having helped, Hard Close or the Uninstall.
https://tstoaddicts.com/2023/10/07/game-not-loading-updated-thoh-2023/
You’re right about the Anonymous towns though, they’re stuck until EA figures this out if the Hard Close doesn’t help.
Uninstall/reinstall fixes that, although it takes a really long time to do. Just don’t do that if you don’t have a login, or you’ll lose all of your progress! (I honestly don’t know why anyone would play anonymously and risk losing everything anyway, but that’s just me…)
It has been giving me issues as well, I have to close out the app after each use and enter my birth day/year details almost every time I enter again.
I’m a meh-be, so probably a no. I hardly ever assign a 1 hour or 12 hour task, and definitely use Bart for other things making the animated tasks pointless for me. A 4 hour task might have swayed me in the other direction. Also, why no voice? It would have been great to hear a creepy alien voice.
It does like like a cool character, but for me it’s all about the animated jobs! Money is not that hard to come by if you have been playing for a while, so I just want thing to look nice and alive. And the 12 hour animated job needs Bart and he is usually working at my recycling plant earning donuts. So for me it’s a pass.
I’d love to read about the pro’s and cons with the premium buys like the Deep dark woods and the cursed forest.
Since yesterday I haven’t been able to log into the game. I can’t get past the splash screen. It doesn’t even show me my login info, just has the spinning donut in the right corner. Never gives a server error either. Tried rebooting, force quitting app and reloading. Nothing seems to work. I’m thinking it’s the new IOS 17.0.3 update. Everything worked fine prior to that update. Any advice?
Yup, in the post just before this one on Alien Bart !!

PS – that AHQ link at the end of it – it got EA’s attention but worth a read and a post still
Thanks for info.
Questions:
All my friends disappeared. Repair issue?
Also, how do I get gold tiles?
Usually quitting and restarting the game will sort it if your friends vanish.
Do that then go straight there when it re-loads, it often happens if the game has been running a while or if your device is low on memory / busy.
For the Gold Road read this ..
