Yeah, i agree with you. After some dedicated playing (3-4 hours total between today and yesterday), I have 11 floors and I now make 4000 gold probably every 30 minutes. I have the third tier tower, too. And this is without buying bux. Really, that exploit is hardly even worth your time with the tiny returns it gives.
Yeah the only reason I can imagine people using the exploit is to obtain the extra bux here and there... but I've pointed it out to eeen anyway so it might not last long I'm making around 100 sales per minute now, score!
KiddtoKmart, he said in his post that he wasn't going to playing until this bug was patched, so I don't quite see why you criticize him for taking advantage of it when he stated he wasn't going to play with it. All that he said was that it was tempting. On another statement - I love the references to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I've already seen "You stay classy, Tiny Tower" and "I love lamp" on Bitbook. Rather amusing because it's giving something for me to relate to. MOAR MOO-VEE KWOTES!
Anyone think Nimblebit might have included a few seasonal surprises the way they did with Pocket Frogs?
Yes, the return on that sucks. It's a real grindfest. However, I think that spending any bux on restocking is insane. You have to think opportunity cost. 50 bux buys 100,000 coins, so each buck is worth 2,000 coins. It might be worth it for some very high quantity items. I guess one would have to crunch some numbers, which I won't be doing personally.
I've got some stock with 3000 quantity... they sell for 3 coins each, so 9000. It costs 14 bux to speed up which is essentially 28,000 coins. I don't think there are going to be any situations where it's really economically viable.
So am I the only one evicting people for dumb dream jobs? Seriously, who's dream job is to work in a laundromat? Also add me so I can see your buildings: Ragashingo
That's so mean. What if that job is really their path to spiritual enlightenment? Also, Fernando Burke in my tower resents your comment. My GC name is also SkyMuffin
*Doesn't feel like editing previous post* Is anyone else noticing a lack of VIPs? I had a fair amount coming in earlier when I downloaded this game. I've been habitually checking my game for restocking and also ferrying a great amount of people over elevators and haven't had one VIP in over four hours. I've exited the app and closed it from multi-tasking. I guess I'm gonna restart my device now.
I think you just get the occasional bad day with random stuff like this. I remember people spending hours on Pocket Frogs not finding anything useful in the pond, where before they were rolling in the stuff.
Possible bug: I'm fairly certain I left a VIP in the elevator down in the lobby to check on game center and someone else's tower and when I came back I had. The same person but they were no longer a VIP. They did (randomly I figure) give me a bux though.
No elevator bug? Maybe a bug? How often is the elevator supposed to run? I haven't had a bitizen...VIP or not...in at least an hour...ever since there eas this weird vip thing in which i got the vip delivery confirmation twice in a row. All day they have been available basically nonstop but now nothing. And I can't get VIPs without the bitizens hitting the vator! Gah!
Maybe it has been mentioned, but there is a bug with the sound. If you uncheck sounds but keep notifications checked, no sound is played at all. This sucks because I want notification sounds and the ability to listen to my own music
It runs very, very frequently for me. It sounds like a bug. You could try restarting the app and maybe that will fix it. Another small bug I ran earlier was a VIP getting stuck in the elevator. I had the option to move him up/down floors, and it would ask if I wanted to drop him off at floor #, but when I hit "yes", he wouldn't leave the elevator. I was forced to restart the app and lose a VIP. Unfortunately, I don't really remember what I was doing at the time, or have any idea what triggered it, so I don't really have any information that would help as a bug report.
I had a situation where I could either put someone in their dream job OR put in someone with a higher rating for that store type. ie: the dreamer didn't have as high a score. I figure it's better to put the dreamer in there, not the higher scored one.
had a bug where a vip couldnt be brought to a destination and only went out of the lift by ending the app. great game btw
Well, you definitely want to put the dreamer in there at least once to get the 3 bux bonus. But if his number is low, just evict the slacker and install the more highly skilled worker in there after.
Dream job guys/girls do give 2x stock bonuses so that should be taken into account too. Oh and does the construction timer increase by floor or everytime you construct something? I repeatedly demolished floors trying to get some desired shops and the construction timer reached 6 1/2 hours for the 14th floor. Is that normal?
