I managed to get all the main track rewards with three days to spare but didn't manage to get enough trading cards to get the Book shop which I was disappointed about. It seems the only way to get trading cards is tapping crims or the minuscule amount you get per day in friends towns. I really think they need to make visiting friends more valuable in these events. For a long time now there's basically been no point.

New update is out with a mini-event for the fourth of July. New Gil deal and questline with that along with returning president characters and items.
Also with this update is the reduction of social battles for prizes. Now you'll need much fewer to get all the prizes; I got three just after I downloaded, which is neat!

Yeah, I'm really glad they reduced the cost of social battle prizes, as that would have required a huge amount of dedication.
Here's the new costs
Superheroes 2 Social Battle Prizes cost has changed:
Tungsten Dude: from 10 to 3
Sciencewater Cooler: from 20 to 7
Kiosk: from 32 to 12
STEM-antha: from 45 to 19
Trading Card Box: from 56 to 25
Gluteus: from 68 to 34
Pie Man Epic Statue: from 80 to 44
First Aid Kit: from 92 to 54
Meg Ahertz: from 105 to 66
One Week Wonder Films: from 115 to 77.
Is anyone else having a lot of crashes since the event started?

So now there's a new button added for "quick battles." Tap it and the results will be randomly generated, though you can influence it by the order you select your fighters. Only takes a few seconds to do a fight now.
Quick battles are very handy. Especially when you have enough heroes to clear a full spawn of fellons. Much quicker.
I'm at a loss to explain the extreme performance problems on my Nvidia Shield tablet. On iOS (Air gen 1 and an iPhone 6) it's fine. On the shield it's barely playable. Everything else I'm playing on the Shield is fine (Space Galaga for the win)

I feel like I have no life when it comes to this game. I always unlock everything at least 5-6 days before each act is over.

I'm not playing this event; haven't played since the casino stuff (which I loved).
However, I am currently tapping as many criminals as I can just so I can get Charcoal Briquette. She looks awesome lol

I don't really like it because there really aren't any decent rewards.

Hate is a strong word.
Was I thoroughly underwhelmed by this event? Yeah.
The writing was garbage-tier. And it has been tedious as fuck.
HawksWinStanley
Member
I think the event has been decent. I really like the Dead Lobster, Spirograph and movie studio buildings. The rest of the rewards were kind of meh as they were either decorations or character skins.
I do like some of the villains we got though.

Is the game normally this hectic or are some of you done with story content and just have events now?
Cause I started playing during the recent superhero event and keeping up with quests for the events, story, heights, monorail, and premium characters has been a lot to balance, haha.

Yeah, I'm done with the normal story quests (save for some premium characters I have yet to get), so I usually get new stuff on events only.
It's better to give priority to the event quests during events, obviously, so you don't miss out on the limited time stuff.
Also, is Stephen Hawking the first real-life person that is currently alive to appear on the game?

Matt Groening?
Oh yeah, forgot about Matt. Guess that makes Hawking the second.
Same here.
Yeah I didn't realize it was better to tap and clear my town of robots before doing the little defense mini game until like two days ago. I reached 24000 with about a minute and half to spare. Knowing that now, these next two acts should be much easier.

Woof, Lisa requires 5000 more event points to unlock.
I got Skinner with a day to spare but this is gonna be a challenge.

Seems like theres more jobs that give you points. Its not much but it should help a little.

Just started back in on this game. Anyone wants to send me a friend request, I'm KidInsomnia.
Last Act of the event is only one week.

The character page for future stuff that already had Lady Bot, Mooch Bart, and President Lisa as well as the new Mecha Hawk prize also shows Evil Homer and the some of the robots as being characters we can obtain.
Since they're not on the prize track, will they be crafting items or a reward for finishing the quest line? Or something else?

Yeah I'm really surprised by this, usually when they do crafting like this I have so much excess by the end, but I'm really struggling to get these last three items crafted this time.

Yeah, the crafting objectives were completely skewed. Unless they introduce a way for people to convert their useless future bucks into robot parts before the event is over there's no chance in hell I'm unlocking everything.
Sticking that as the Level 19 unlock craftable when it would no longer serve any purpose was a grave misstep. (I'm still at Level 13, myself.)

You guys seriously had trouble with crafting? I'm Level 18 and all I need is 2600 gears for Homer's Dream House and I'm done. After that I'll just use all the bucks to build stuff that gives money.
Didn't purchase anything Premium this event either, outside of previously owning Frank Grimes.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I check the game every 4 hours (which honestly is about twice as much attention as these events usually demand from me to be completed). I finish the Homer Clones/Grimes/Hawkins quests and start them again, clear the town of robots, and then do the mini game. I also visit my friend's towns daily until I can't get any more event currency and I'm still 1000 parts short of Costington's.
Btw if there'a anyone on here I don't already have added on the game, my origin ID is: UnratedG

Why are you wasting time clearing the robots when playing the mini game automatically does that?
Because I'm one of the people who's game's been glitches since Act 1. Doing the mini game does clear my town, but rather than giving me 80 parts like it should, I get 1, I would miss out on the rewards from manually tapping on the robots that are milling about. I learned that late in the first act of the event and almost didn't finish the prize track because of it. It's apparently a pretty common thing for people this event.

Had the horrible realisation that the only two events that we're likely to have this year are the Treehouse of Horror stuff and the Christmas event. D:

Anyone else still chipping away at Springfield Heights? They've made it easier for the next few days: all the buildings are paying out four times the resources until October 4!

I've largely ignored the heights completely in favor of trying to catch up with event and character quests (level 49 currently, I'll have Nelson's mom today) so this 4x rewards is great since I'm done with the season premiere thing.
I'll be grinding out new heights stuff all day!

Good to know, I've been working away at that the past few days.
EDIT: This is so awesome. I'm finally getting caught up with Springfield Heights.
Same here. I went from $622M to $716M overnight and now on the way to $1000M. Once I build the final reward I'm done with SH for good.
