    I need the Nurse and Pumpkin costumes if anyone has them (15N1).
    I'll send the bitizens back to you after (with any other costume if you would like). #

    Sent them both from my feed tower. No need to send them back, they were both from a gold ticket floor and I'll just wait for fill floor VIP.

    Never ever again am I starting an "Add me" thread here :lol:
    I'm already at the 100 friends limit, and maybe 3/4th of my visitors are not on my friends list!
    Sorry if I don't visit back often, crazy backlog :p


    Why don't you just have visitors be like regular Elevator Bitizens (slashing minutes, moving in the empty apartments slots...) ?

    I have my list full. It takes me several minutes to visit them all. I'm thinking on erasing the ones with tall towers and slow elevators (except if they're VIP).

    And I try to send missing costumes for those asking over Bitbook.

    It's really helpful if people put their name to the lobby and upgrade their elevators...

    Sure he would have got a few. I sent a couple, and when I did a request, I got a few sent my way too. Thanks everyone!

    Is that what happens when notifications are turned on?

    Not sure moving in is a good idea. You can just target a floor by constantly reloading but it's just 5 bux to send a bitizen so not worth the hassle

    I don't have a full list. I've kept it to a shorter list as it was hard work visiting. Makes me want to get the VIP package but only have $30 in my iTunes account. Had to wait for the discounted gift cards to go on sale so missed the VIP sales

    Damn you RNG!

    So I won a golden ticket. Problem was it on my second tower. The one I don't play that often. The one on my old slow SGS2, where it spends most of the time out of charge. I just thought that I'd enter the raffle out of ... Well nothing really. 3300+ odds and I was one of the 14. Despite that I play the raffle prodigiously on my main tower, But

    Coz I've got a golden ticket
    I've got a golden ticket
    I've got a golden chance to make my way
    And with a golden ticket, it's a gooool dennnnn daaaay

    yes! I posted something like this on Twitter the other day but the character limit ... well, limited what I wanted to say.

    Which was: as towers get taller, we get more bux per mission. It would be nice if stocking times or construction times were reduced by an additional minute for each tower height increment. Right now the default is -2 mins. If a tower was near 50 floors, a -5 min reduction in stocking or construction would be awesome!

    And I agree - having visitors contribute to those reductions would be a big help, too.

    Might be just the fix we need. Will have to give it a think and make sure it wouldn't break anything. Would have to work out not moving in duplicates and things like that.

    I've had duplicates a few times now, well a cloned bitizen of sorts. On android only and it involves moving a bitizen to the lobby and having a VIP come at the same time when there's one slot left in the lobby. The bitizen fails to go to the lobby but I don't get the lobby full message but later, the same bitizen appears in consecutive blue presents. I think it's sort of a condition that only happens when you use a slow device. Perhaps both are triggered in the same event loop or something. Doesn't crash the game or anything. Just a twin ...

    Testopi had a great suggestion in BitBook: automatic entry into the hourly raffle for VIPs...

    I just want to say that I'm loving the new updates! I'm glad to be a VIP and hope to see even more upgrades in the future!! Thanks NimbleBit and thanks to a great community of users for all the awesome advice!

    Aw man, I just lost about a thousand Bux due to a really annoying bug.

    Basically if you're at the bottom of your tower, open the menu, and slightly miss the "raffle" button, you can actually activate the "rush" button on the tower which is behind it. So I accidentally ended up spending all those Bux rushing my stock which I didn't want to do, because I didn't notice that the confirmation pop-up wasn't about the raffle.

    That kinda needs fixing, eeen. I'm kinda lucky it was only 1,000 or so Bux, I guess, it could have been a lot worse. Just feels a lot when I only had 4,000 to begin with!

    Nah, sorry but it would totally break the game for VIPs. :/
    You have about 1 in 250 chance to get a golden ticket every hour.
    Which means statistically on a long run, with automatic hourly raffle entry, you would get a Golden ticket every 10 days, 3 GTs a month...

    I say that and I've never won on a raffle yet, despite a lot of tries ;)

    What could work though is an automatic entry to the hourly raffle for VIPs only when they open the app.
    Which basically would save us the small hassle to go to the menu and tap on the entry button.
    But wouldn't really increase the odds of winning as you would only get the automatic entry when you are playing.

    It also happens when you move a floor to the bottom of the tower. The up and down buttons don't register but the stock and rush buttons do. Don't worry, I've blownquite a few thousand bux too. Now I'm a bit more careful.

    I second that, i always forget to check raffle even if i play alot. Automatic entry every time would be nice but as you state not good for vips, also not good for regular players since their chances will be lower even if a vip not play a month they enter the raffle.
    Join when open app on the other hand seem just it only involves active players

    Yeah, I will be taking more care in future.

    The more people that enter the raffle, the more winners there are, so I don't think anyones chances would be any different if VIPs were auto-entered. There'd just be more winners.

    I'd love to enter the raffle when I press the 1h Raffle button. That second "Enter the raffle" button seems unnecessary to me. If you're going into that option is, most probably, because you want to enter the raffle, or check how it's going.

    Edit: A couple more...

    When you visit a VIP, can the bar at the top with the tower's name be gold?
    That way, if a new visitor comes and you visit back, you know it's a VIP.

    And also: an entry for the costumes in the menu would be great. Or at least, a less buried way to see your costume list. Collecting those is a great part of the game (in a Neko Atsume kind of way) :D
