Post Event Collection Issues (No Syringes/DNA/etc)

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a very quick note on trying to collect event currency post-event ending…it’s currently NOT an option for many players.  The timer has run out, and the collection has ceased.  Instead of getting Syringes (or other act currency) you earn cash, thus preventing you from unlocking that last prize you were working on.

While it sucks, it’s not completely unexpected.  The event is over.  The timer has run out, and thus the ability to collect currency has ended.  That’s why I literally say, on every single event is ending post for the last 8+ years, do not count on getting borrowed time.  Finish the event before the timer runs out, to prevent these issues.

Is this a glitch?  Possibly.  It’s also possible it’s just part of the coding.  Your best bet is to contact EA about it.  There is currently nothing we can do, or tell you to do to fix it.  If you contact EA they may be able to do something about it, but they’re currently the only ones who potentially could fix the issue.  There’s no quick fix on our end we can help you with.

For those stuck with the task in their task book, wondering if it’ll go away.  Hopefully.  Hopefully, when the next event hits it’ll clear that task off your task book, but again all we can tell you to do is wait and be patient.  Other than that, the next option is to contact EA.

Sorry if you’re in this situation, and sorry there’s nothing we can do to help you with it!

Should You Buy Donut Homer?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well, spending actual cash on donuts for a character is back in TSTO, well it’s a costume this time.  This is something EA’s been rolling out over the last few years, and it’s a new bonus for actually spending cash on donuts. (instead of just farming them)  Where they attach a premium, limited-time, character to one of the donut bundles in addition to bonus donuts.

This time around we’re being offered Donut Homer,  a premium costume (NOT a character), for a tray of 132 Donuts ($9.99 in the US)..no bonus this time around.  While it’s hard for me to sit here and tell you if you should or shouldn’t spend actual cash on the game (spoiler, I think you should always spend at least a small amount…even if it’s $.99/year on the game if it brings you joy and you want to see it continue) I thought I’d do a quick breakdown of Donut Homer, his tasks, questline and other details you may be curious about.

So let’s consider this an abbreviated Should I Buy….
