    Can anybody who's actually able to currently play the game confirm a few things?
    • Does the Casino now give anything other than utopium or coins? Or has all that moved to the Arcade?
    • In the Casino, can you get utopium from normal spins (that cost coins), or only frop VIP spins (that cost IAP)?
    • In the Arcade, can you get utopium from "the claw", or just prizes like animals and astroglass items?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! So the new Arcade is functionally identical to the old Casino, and the new Casino is a new feature altogether.

    I still have an un-upgraded game I'm working on, and I wasn't sure if I should consume all my coins at the Casino before upgrading. Sounds like it doesn't matter; my coins will have the same value post-upgrade.

    Have a look through the profession and animal lists in the gallery. Access them by tapping the blue job counter at the top of screen. Hint: The lists may or may not be longer than they appear.

    If you have it, tap the police station|tap achievements. Tap each achievement you haven't got yet (grey coloured) and find out their requirements. Rewards for completed achievements can be retrieved from here too.

    Explore each building you have. Tap a any building and flick through the available pages in the building info box, you never know what you might find. The sheriff's offices is a good one poke around in if you have it.

    Our geneticists will be releasing content as often as they can, (as soon as the hybrids are stable that is). That said, monthly deployment cycles have been planned.

    Are you f.ing kidding me?
    Just upgraded 20 clones via the altar, and realized they had moved out from their previous residences to random new ones :(
    This is lame, I have to hunt them and put them back with their golden heart pair.
    Why don't they just go back to their previous residence?

    Thanks for your feedback, Mayor! We'll see what we can do about that in the next patch once all the critical stuff is out of the way. Please do keep the suggestions coming as we are always looking for ways to improve Mayor experience.

    Yes my Utopia now has a beach, but what it really needs are sharks.

    Hope the patch is approved quickly, not being able to play is a drag

    Nosy Neighbor/Ministry of Hope?

    On opening the game recently I received the "Nosy Neighbor" achievement for visiting 10 cities - kind of odd since I've never visited any, haven't activated the telephone company or pet shop features, & don't even have a FB account. It does show up in my achievement list, but there was no Utopium reward.

    Also, I've spliced 11 of the new secret animals but haven't received the Ministry of Hope building that I've seen mentioned here as being a reward for 5 splices. Do I have to splice a single species 5 times, or should I have received it for my existing 11 separate species?

    Also in regards to splicing animals, I am guessing you need at least one of each to get the secret?

    Lastly, I did get the Formula for Pegasus and thought it would show on the animal like jobs would. So if anyone can send me it (I remember one side of it, and do believe also that once you do have that secret, it doesn't appear again like it would initially in the splicing menu to repeat again so one can remember/write it down).

    Also in regards to splicing the new, it seems all the animals appear either as mammals, birds, reptiles and insect (as well of course secret). For example here for my question, and thus making up 2 animals for the splice here, if one splice a horse(mammal) and mouse(mammal) and was one of the secrets, I would still see that combo even if I did horse(farm) plus mouse(mammal)????

    One would think they would, since if you move a job to hotel and then reassign it, they still keep in their same house/residence. Thus if some used that same code for the hotel for the altar, that should work. Of course there is that small minor detail that in the altar they still have the job placed they are tied to vs none in the hotel. So I imagine some tinkering with that code would be required as well.

    Ivan,

    I have been playing pixel every day, but yesterday I got a noticification that pixel people needs its mayor. Sounds like there is a problem/bug with that aspect since I do play it every day. Sadly, I didn't write it down since I went into the app and thus the notification banner message was removed, as normally would. If I see it again, will write down the complete wording but do know it had something to the effect of "needing[requiring??] it's mayor"

    Also great to hear monthly new items will be done!!

    Thanks for all of that! It hasn't gone unheard.
    As for the MoH, you need all 20 secret animals :)

    Here is my 2 cents after re-immersing myself in the game - actually three of them (CC game, regular game, brand new game).

    For long time players, I don't think there is any way to make the game appealing for long periods. Most of us have very large cps so coins are not an issue, have stockpiled U or can get it easily through Arcade or Missions, and without massive changes to our city - the look and feel will essentially be the same. Maybe some tools to help us mass delete or mass move tiles would help on the last point, but I don't see that as a priority for the dev team.

    So any new update will be blasted through in no time. And while the social features are interesting, I don't see them appealing enough to keep people in it for the long run. If the updates are monthly then it may be possible to keep the long time players in the game, but the gameplay is definitely different than a new game.

    I started a brand new game just to see how the game plays with all these new features for a newbie, and it is a blast. The big appeal of the game is how to construct your city and having real choices as to what to build next and what strategies to employ. All of these things are gone once you are in maintenance mode / have a complete city.

    This is just the nature of the game, but it is a shame since the front half of the game is still very rewarding to play.

    BTW - in a new game it is much easier to get the Arcade than the Casino. So you get to your free daily spin/claw much faster.

    Thanks for the info! I would love to start a new city, but I would want to be able to save/load multiple cities on the same device first.

    Thks DFWP, and sorry if my post was a bit rude, I was a pissed mayor lol ;)

    So is there anyway to assign an upcoming "tabula rasa" clone to a specific residence?
    I tried reserving a slot bit it didn't seem to work?
    I may expand again with duplicates buildings, but I don't want clones going everywhere now that I sorted and placed them :)

    Is the tree utopium resetting weirdly? I played yesterday morning (around 6.00 am) and got all 25. Then I was mucking around at about 4.30pm and my tree utopium count was back to zero so i picked up a further 25. And it was showing a reset time of about 4 hours remaining.

    This morning it's about 6.30 am and it's back to zero with a reset time of 17.5 hours.

    Facebook still broken

    Guys, what the hell? Two patches and the Facebook integration still causes a hard crash as soon as you touch it?

    I mean, yay, you fixed a typo in tattoo artist, congrats?

    This used to be one of my favourite games, and most recommended, but with this kind of support how can i tell anyone to give it a shot?

    Big let down folks, seriously.
