Easter Eggs vs. Glitches & Cheating. A List.

[Mistress Nikita]

Since the other thread was hijacked by a personal feud, I thought I'd start a new one. Lets keep this one on topic.

In my opinion, an Easter Egg is available to both platforms (Droid and iOS) and won't get you banned for discussing it in the forums.

The 26 minutes on the bosses to get an extra hit is an "Easter Egg" in a loose sense of the phrase. It is widely known, discussed in the forums, available to both platforms, and won't get you banned for discussing it.

What other "Easter Eggs" are our there?

never heard of an easter egg tied to crime city.i think this will get quite interesting

How about bouncing around Syndicates during SLTQs and crediting multiple teams for the same thing?
Doesn't get much more public than that, the fountain of "help us" spams on the forums last weekend.

Please define "easter egg" and distinguish it from a glitch. The guy who coined the term earlier is an admitted cheater and was encouraging others to do the same.

Yeah, that one is more of a Rotten Easter Egg. I liked the syndicate PvP better when the points stayed with the player and moved to a new syndicate if they moved. But, if this is how Gree makes the rules, then I guess we have to live with ASS and its 17 syndicates always rotating people into its top team to "win" first place. I'd love to know how the people who spend all the gold to "help" the top team get first feel about not getting the prize. I'd be bitter. But, hey, that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Just remember the more you openly discuss them the quicker they get nerfed.

I think "easter egg" should be renamed "poor development/planning decision". The M4A1 for example. Not an Easter Egg, discussed immensely, nerfed due to it creating too much imbalance.

Add the PVP where prizes were backwards and we all got the -30% building upgrade, guess it's hard to nerf an event though.

Hi Dippy,

I tried to define it in my first post.

An "Easter Egg" is:
1. Available to both platforms
2. Won't get you banned for discussing it

For an example, the Droid time traveling would not be an "Easter Egg" because it fails both tests.

Time traveling is not an "Easter Egg", it's a blatent cheat. "Easter Egg" are put in by the developers and cheat/hacks are bad programming.

I said NOT. Time traveling is NOT an "Easter Egg." Time traveling is cheating, plain and simple.

"Easter eggs" are things that game developers intentionally hid in the game for players to find. A glitch is an unintended consequence as a result of poor coding. If GREE didn't mean for boss hits to be possible when you have less than 25 hp, that would be a "glitch" as well. In my eyes, you're all arguing over the various acceptability of glitches.

Unfortunately GREE doesn't seem to care much either way. Everyone knows the "building two buildings at once" glitch, and nothing was ever done about it. I've reported Nature Boy GoTTi multiple times as he has 400+ of each of the top RP items and exactly 510 of each cash item, but he's now made it through his third war with the GoTTis and is currently earning points in the PvP for them as well. Level 221, if you want to see for yourself. Or if you're GREE, ticket #835701, #866233. "We don't discuss the results of our investigation" is seemingly code for "we are not going to do anything about this despite overwhelming proof presented before us."

i visit nature boy daily, and has been reported so many times that i just gave up

Good thing Gree won't be getting any more money from me.

Big Money, you are one of my favorite forumites, and I don't want you to take another "vacation" so please be careful!

What is the 2 buildings at once glitch? Would it qualify as an "Easter Egg" as I defined it? Is it available to both iOS and Droid? Will it get you banned if you discuss it in the forums?

[bimmer kid]

no more butts will be futtered

the only way someone will know is if they try it
