As we are getting a feel for this new lil game from TinyCo, we are also forming our own opinions of just what we really think of the Family Guy: Quest For Stuff.
This post will be for all the things you think they probably could have done without in the game. Things you would like them to change. Your not so favorite tasks, character, building, etc. All things that you just do not care for in the game. (Please keep your responses to a PG-13. Any abusive comments will not be tolerated and removed. You can place your Pro Comments on the other page instead.)
We want to know YOUR thoughts. So sound off in the comments section below. You never know when TinyCo will pop in and see what YOU are saying.

I have loved this game since I got it, but the last (extra) week of star trek has pissed me off. I was one of the ones that had finished everything and stopped collecting stuff (let my Bertram laps), and then you release twice the stuff to collect in the last week, at ridiculous costs. As you need the rights for this stuff I think you just messed up your dates. This is not cool and wasted a lot of clames.

Bottom line up front: coin collecting is a nuisance.
I have over 130 buildings in Quahog that collect coins. Two comments here:
1) Can TinyCo create some kind of a “cash out” button that collects all of the coins at once? It’s kind of a pain in the tail to click on 130+ buildings for coins that…
2) …aren’t used for much anymore. I’ve expanded all of the land available, and have purchased every paying building available. I have over $1M in coins in the bank at this point, and I saw very little use for them even before the Star Trek event began.

I’ve been playing for a little under a year and enjoy it mostly. What does grind my years is the special characters these turn up for a limited time that you need clams to buy, yet getting clams is rare unless you spend money. I get that Tiny Co need to support themselves but it would be nice if you could trade in coins collected for clams.
Also, I’m enjoying the Star Trek event but fund the drop rate for space condoms to be tough. Needing two phaser energy for the large petercraft, that sometimes lags for the second shot. Needing to spend 100 clams to unlock planet Vulcan and sending 5 characters and still having a low chance of return. I haven’t unlocked Dr Crusher yet and it’s strange that you need space condoms for Vulcan quagmire but need him to go to Vulcan.
Also think they’re missed a trick by not having anyone require 1701 dilithium crystals as part of their unlocking requirements.

Look I love this game to death, I really do, I’ve easily spent 120$ on this is not far more, but I came in right before Halloween, so I missed several characters and costumes. For months I’ve seen “well they will most likely bring this character or costume back” well..when. I’m a completist and would gladly pay to get these chapters so here is one of two ideas I came up with..a event where Stewie time travels and I’d be able to collect or just buy these items at a slightly higher price since that would be far for the people who have been there since day one or just a premium store. I don’t know but if like to be able to get quite a few things I missed.

I’m still collecting items for Lois and Locotus. The rare item for Lois only have to 2 ways of obtaining it. Chris something drop nothing, shooting Peter ship sometime would drop other items making it extremely hard and frustrating. Locotus the same way even if the item is common. Bonnie is the only character that drop if Lois have not been unlock. The characters goes together and play back to back with each other. The challenge is fun but it does get frustrating after awhile. On top all of that some of these characters also have quests that need to fulfill and it take away from completing and collecting items.

PeterCraft is the best way. Characters are still a “chance” drop, so there also you may not get it every either.

I think that like many others i am happily addicted to this game, even when i wanna scream at it, but I doubt i am alone in saying this; The run up to the Star Trek event got peoples appetite soppingly wet but 2.5 weeks in and the usual scenario appears that it starts off well but descends into a farce due to drop rates, too much emphasis on spending clams, etc.. then by the end of the event no dount everyone will have kissed and made up and 95% of folks will appear happy.
i get that it is a freemium game with elements of premium-ness but this latest event appears heavily against the freemium player. Folks complained about drop rates via the game, this website and probs social media, so what did TC do? drop another premium character in to help us all out!!! I am sorry but to me that is just another cop out and not really listening to your fans/players. I also get the arguement that TC are a business and need to turn a profit however many folks have come up with potential business plans on here and FB that would surely help TC in the long term yet nothing has happened on that front, i.e. monthly subscription to clams for a set price, or lowering the price of premium characters so that more folks may be tempted to buy (speculate/accumulate) and so on…
folks have mentioned about rare drops during events and i have to agree with them, why have a large % of necessary items be rare and then to add insult to injury make us need to collect lots of them, 30+, with each character who drops said item spending 4-6 hrs + on each task. if there was a guaranteed drop then fair enough but rare items drop like 1 out of every 4/5 tries?!?
I have given TC a lot of feedback on this event, more so than any other, as i feel the fun has been taken out of the game a bit by all the negativity surrounding things. i am pretty much up to date on my Quahog so there is nothing much for me to do in this game apart from the ST event!! I even made peace with the brewery and all the items and cost needed for that but once i get the final bits for that i have no idea what will keep me occupied.
If it wasnt for the large amount of my own money spent on clams i would have to consider deleting this game from my phone/life as it should not cause this much frustration to a grown person surely!!
a challenging but fun game is one thing but sometimes this game forgets that!!

If in the future when there’s something like the Brewery where we need to collect items to create something. Please be clear with us how many of those items we really need because to my understanding I thought all we have to do is collect and complete the full set of each item in the Brewery in order for characters to stop dropping those item and we can put it in our inventory box, but in this case it’s not we have to collect each and all item to its max number we are allow to have for it to stop. How long has district 10 been out? Can you believe up to today I’m still collecting and waiting to complete this brewery because I can’t tuck it away.
Also Star Trek events it’s great it’s fun but need to be tone down with all the characters way to many characters waiting to be unlock but only limited characters are selected to drop items. For the future start us off with unlocking main characters we need for the event then unlock the new characters

Why would I pay 5 transporter energy orbs for the useless klingon statue as precious and rare as the transporter energy is.

Hey guys. Would it be too much to ask for an event that was transparent and didn’t have mislabeled drop rates or correct timing or bad math or horrible glitches? It’s been a year and this new event is awesome but the same old logistics problems seem to be present in most everything you do. I have many thoughts on this but they always seem to little to late or are flat out ignored. I reward my employees with bonuses for good performance. Likewise I’d do so for TinyCo but have yet to see performance that cries ‘exemplarary’. Please don’t sully the good name of this event with poorly thoughtout schemes or bad coding. As previously stated, there’s only so much people can take and now we’re taking on Trek, by and large the single most important franchise to define sci-fi. Need I say more? Looking foward to an exciting event that will hopefully get better as phase one’s drop rares have been pitiful and a might bit discouraging for myself and others. Good luck.

Did you trigger it from the questline or are you not at the point in the questline where it tells you to send it yet? The questline is what will trigger the items. if you send the blimp with out the questline telling you to it won’t bring back an item. However, once you reach the point in the questline where you’re supposed to send the blimp it will automatically be completed and you’ll get the item.

I’m a big fan of fam guy and love the game but I hate how the special events have become so restricted to time or money spent. It’s impossible to fully complete a special/holiday event without spending clams. And if I want to spend less clams I would literally need to go into the game several times a day. I’m sorry but even TSTO is better at keeping me involved at this regard. I’m almost thinking about quitting the game because I can never seems to get the special characters that can help out with other stuff. And it takes forever to unlock a character. Sometimes 3 or 4 days is not enough when the the tasks require u to use characters that also have other tasks to complete for the quests. This is getting too frustrating. I used to play all the time. Now I log in 3 times a day. More if I’m lucky if there’s a time event, because like most, I have a life to live also.

Why aren’t premium characters more active in events? While I’m happy to see that Predator and Freddy Kruger have tasks that earn holiday event currency, I don’t understand why Jake, Consuela, Buzz Killington etc. are continuously left out of the events. If premium characters consistently added to the game, I would hesitate less over buying them. So far I feel the aforementioned were a waste. They add nothing but coins, which I currently have over $500,000 of. I’d love to see the premium characters add more to the game. As an aside I’m happy to see that a few premium buildings are doling out special perks in new events!

Not really cons as such, just suggestions for game improvements:
1. We need more expensive coin purchsed items in the 100,000+ coins range. Dictator Stewie statue is the only 100k+ item right now and that’s just not enough. A lot of long term players (myself included) are sitting on hundreds if not millions of coins and we really need a coin sink or two. Maybe a permanent lucky box to purchase for 100k that gives you the chance of 1, 3, 5 or 10 clams ? And definitely more 100k+ coin direct purchase items / buildings / decos etc.
2. We need alternative roads / paths / dust tracks / mud paths etc. to decorate our towns with.
3. A character tracker page – it can be nice and simple not graphically taxing, just a pop up page (or even an addition to facespace) that shows what a character is currently doing and how long is left on that task.
4. Others have discussed the point of your in game overall level and individual character level – my thoughts have always been that the higher level you are and the higher level a character is then you drop chance of an item should be increased by a small percentage.
5. As many others have stated…. land, land, land !
I love the game and hope some/all of the above are implemented at some point.
Love this website as well – my one stop shop for all things TQFS !

I’m having a really hard time understanding tiny co’s justification for charging 400 clams for Cleveland, a very major main character and one that majority of the people playing got for free in an earlier event. We, people who started playing just before comicon started or thereafter, see Cleveland’s face paraded around like he’s a completely routine character to obtain.
At 400 clams, he is the most expensive character to buy in the game and HE ISNT EVEN LISTED AS A PAID CHARACTER. I have a huge problem with the fact that Cleveland is STILL listed as one of “the guys,” a group that once completed rewards clams.
10 clams. Purchasing Cleveland for 400 clams rewards 10. It’s like a huge ‘screw you’ to those of us who didn’t happen to start at the same time as everyone else. I would get it if he wasn’t touted as such a main character, like how consuela only helps on some tasks and isn’t on THE MAIN LOADING SCREEN; or if he was always paid and they gave him as a big thank you for playing early; but no. He is the highest priced yet actually major character in the game, and a lot of players have him just by luck of when they started.
I dunno. Maybe if tiny co changed the reward for completing “the guys” to 300 clams or something so he wouldn’t cost so much, or moved him to the paid “characters you buy” category and make him a much much much more minor character.
Right now my game looks naked because I do not have any indication that there is a character being created for this weeks event. I had to look here and snoop on my friends devices to see that they have more going on than I do, and they didn’t have to pay 390 clams to get the content. It’s upsetting and I feel defeated in a helpless way.
I cross my fingers every single update and every addition to this event to see if logic will hit and TC will make him a character we can earn through the event, and make it so that those who got him earlier earn a special costume or something. **I feel like this is a topic that doesn’t get touched on at all on this site, but I feel extremely punished for not starting my game two months earlier.** The biggest surprise here? I’m not a completely freemium player. I have put more than small amounts of real $$ into the game for clams to speed things up and get where I want to be faster, but not to buy weirdly overpriced characters.
TLDR: I don’t think it is fair that such a majority of players got a very major character for free months ago, that the rest of us would essentially have to pay 390 clams for in order to fully enjoy the current event, who is more costly than every single paid character available – and isn’t even listed as a character you buy. Poor planning on their part is my only answer, but I have to wonder if they’re even aware, since most people playing got him free months ago and would have no reason to say anything or know anything was another way.
