So... Thoughts on whether its worthwhile to buy and spend gold on accumulating toilet paper?

If so, how much toilet paper?

All comments welcome.

If the developers aren't crazy, the TP will disappear after the event. Even as consumables, these are game warping if they're more than just a crazy weekend event.

Not sure if this was a serious thread, but of course not. You'll acquire it via normal gameplay and the PVP tourney and you'll most likely be out of it a few days after it stops dropping (unless you're a low level camper vastly stronger than your peers or a CC-God like Sam).

I lose a napalm on an average of 1 per month at my current rate. The only time my explosives get consumed is when I try to take somebody on who is about 10000 defense higher than me.

Would you spend gold to get more of them?

Napalms aren't consumed on defense... Different story. That said, they aren't free, and they aren't stronger than everything else currently in the game except top end event items. They say this is a weekend pvp event, and no one was promised they get to keep them. MAYBE it would be different if I were one of the people who wasn't going to lose them immediately, but I won't be using my tapjoy gold on stamina.

Very good point. But would you regret it if no action was taken to remove them? We will be in a serious disadvantage.

Your right to say that. I just started a low level account actually it was level 2 yesterday now its level 10, got lucky with toilet papers and now a proud owner of 12 of them. Got lucky with the boss and got myself 3 rares and 2 uncommon out of 10 tries, with an ally count of 15 I think a stat of 7K/6K is pretty good.

With the Haunted House Lvl 6 (hope gree reimburse me for the 1 gold upgrade debacle) I have an income already of 15K IPH. I think I am good for now and time to resetup tent.

How would this stay around? I have fought other players as low as 500 defense and lost TP's. This wont last long... this is perishable unit and will in time deplete. Looks like the consume rate is very high.

I think the inflated stats is just a smoke screen that will disappear in time...

Look at murfs theory on explosive consumption. It will make more sense.

But on topic, from different perspectives, this is a once a year opportunity for some of the CC gods and strong low level campers.

Would you buy gold to get some explosives? If so why and how much?

As mxz said, GREE have a pretty track record of not damaging good will and holds up its promises fairly well (e.g. M4a1, and recently monster rampage and spiked armor issues etc). Based on this, I have a feeling they will let it run its course.

After all, the aim is to encourage gold expenditure and part of that deal is for gold players to get lots of explosives. So if GREE do take it back, they are really hurting their rep by pissing off gold and free players.

Are we seriously discussing game mechanics based on a level 2 account? For those in the shark pool the TP is a very volatile thing. I had 26 yesterday, went to sleep and woke up with zero. I lost over 20 to some idiot who constantly failed but burned only TP.

forget about holding on to this TP.
you should utilize it for bosses event as much possible while you can.

this will "disappear" after the deadline when some one stronger come visit you.

as for the stronger player, they are eventual winner cos it's too strong & unlikely to be able to taken away.

If the developers aren't crazy, the TP will disappear after the event. Even as consumables, these are game warping if they're more than just a crazy weekend event.

The developers aren't crazy, this is exactly what they want. The TPs are dropping as quickly as they're being consumed sending Crime City into a frenzy like piranhas in a lake full of humans. They've also added an event to make sure the majority of the players get involved.

With everybody leveling up it closes that Shark Tank gap a little bit more whilst also making a little bit of money from refills and the gold sale.


I lose a napalm on an average of 1 per month at my current rate. The only time my explosives get consumed is when I try to take somebody on who is about 10000 defense higher than me.

Same as me, The Billionaire loses one explosive per month if that! Avon has never lost. Those who are extra strong for their level will gradually lose the TPs over a period of months. I don't think Gree will take them away at the end of the event because it's also a reward for free players who have done extremely well, they will also lose them over a long period of time.


I was attacked, won, and still lost a TP roll lol. Returned the favor and stole it back. But then someone with 100k stats rolled on me and stole all 7 I was carrying.

You can't steal them back, it's consumed. It just so happens they are dropping as quickly as they're being consumed hence why you thought you might of stolen it back.


IMO Wont spend on consumables... like I said "this wont last long... this is perishable unit and will in time deplete". I'd rather buy that car that they mispriced! It will be in my inventory for a long time!

If your stats are able to hold onto it for quite a while, it's worth a couple of stamina refills, surely? The car was a steal, Avon got 2 of them.


Come on, there is no way Gree would let us keep the toilet paper after the event....

They will, so grab them while you can. Has anyone completed a couple more boss level using them? Bill got another 2 levels for free. Didn't get a rare though.

You can't stop them being consumed unless you buy 20 vaults of gold and spend it all on crates, even then it might not work lol

Exactly my thoughts. It's dropping about 1 per 10-15 hits so if our accounts are well positioned and can hold onto them, it might be worth a few refills and get those golden weapons more easier.

I got one more level and got a rare car so pretty damned happy with GREE for their work so far. Really getting some action into this game with these stuff.

Thanks for the info.

I'm a crawler and you might know i want to go for boss 40 with the cash attempts and some TJ gold. This is a huge boost and no-one on my level can beat me for now.. I just need to know on what rate i might lose the toilet rolls on wins to other people. If i even lose a roll to someone with 10k lower stats it's not worth it to stock them up, but if it's a close call and i only lose them to someone with simular stats i will stock them up because i won't lose them in a very long time..

I can't really answer that because neither of my accounts have lost a fight for ages so i wouldn't know how likely they are to be consumed. If you're rarely getting beaten by anyone then its well worth stocking up on them and they definitely increase your chances of reaching boss 40, you'd better hurry though.

Thanks again. I have a feeling that once i stocked them up and i am around 49 i will still lose them to people with stats far below mine.. I haven't lost a explosive in my entire newsfeed now.

I was not discussing specifically my Lvl 2 accounts I was simply using it as an example to pacify Dipsticks concerns about the possibility of too many campers (like me) or lower leveled players accumulating it and making the game unbalance... as I pointed out to in my earlier posts the TP consumption rate is very high. As in continued with my PVP's while I had an inflated stats against other players because of the TP - I was explaining that I was still losing them with with and at a rate of 1 to 4 even against players at very low Defense stat. SO it will in time deplete. ( at this point MXZ was simply asking me what was my pre-explosive attack stats)

Before I begun accumulating it at level 2 there was no chance I can do the boss but with the TP it provided my with the artificial boost to at least do 10 boss round ( got 3 rares and 2 uncolmmon).

As I said this TP things is just a smoke screen it will disappear soon...


I think Billionaire and others also reiterated my point...

By the way this account is not any more at level 2 its at level 12 now but all in all its worth the activity.

What are your thoughts on the number to reach the top 10. If I remember correctly Sam had over 10k on the last pvp vent but was the timeframe not longer than this event. Can't remember.

I think there is a new algorithm on how they are consumed. Example, I'm at L69, have 49 mafia and an attack of 35K. Just fought some bloke with 1.8K stats and he made me consume two explosives. Comical, but whatever.
