Hello There Clammers!
With Work-it Weekend in our rear-view Mirrors and Asiantown in sight I thought now would be a great time to share the results of our Work-It Weekend Poll question and start a whole new poll about “Stuff”.
We see many of you talking about how difficult it is to get Epic and Rare items to drop in TQFS, often times sending a character on a task 20 or more times in a row before getting an item you’re looking for to drop..I’m looking at you HEADBAND! So what we want to know how you REALLY Feel about Epic and Rare Stuff!
Now let’s get to the results of Work-It Weekend…
Shockingly, to me, over 50% of you did NOT take advantage of the half-price workers, but still enjoyed the shorter work times….
However, a good chunk of you took advantage of the sale and purchased at least 1 worker!
Here are the final numbers:
Did You Take Advantage of Work It Weekend?
52% -No, I didn’t purchase Workers But I did take advantage of the shorter build times!
38%- Si! I purchased I more Worker, cheap labor who could resist?!
4%- Nope, I’ve been living under a rock and had no idea the event was going on!
3%- Si! I purchased 2 more Workers, I just hope INS doesn’t find out!
2%- Si! I purchased 3 more Workers, I just hope that porta-potty holds out!
Oh and because I never got a chance to share the results of the Clown Event poll….a BONUS poll results just for clicking continue reading! Don’t you feel special?! 😉
Did You Unlock Pee Pants Hobo Costume?
53%- No, and I’m really annoyed by it
25%- Yes, PRIOR to the Event Extending (So by Sunday Night)
13%- No, but I really don’t care all that much
10%- Yes, AFTER the Event Extended (so sometime on Monday)
I’ve got to say…the Pee Pants results astonished us! And we did relay the results to our friends at TinyCo. So hopefully they’ll take the feedback and tweak the way future events are done (and I think they will 🙂 )!
What are your thoughts on the randomness of getting “stuff” to drop from characters? Thoughts about the Work it Weekend? How about thoughts on how many players did not get Pee Pants? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

Same problem, I’m on my… 87th try trying to get an eyeball. The only way to get Anime Peter that I can see is to pay money for clams. I’m going to give it a few more tries before unistalling. If you can’t progress without getting an item that you can get without paying for it, what’s the point? I had high hopes for this game. It’s such a shame 😦

I agree it is frustrating. But just an fyi I was able to unlock it with out spending a single clam. Just requires a lot of patience.

Well I hope so. Over two weeks to try and unlock a charchter… I don’t even want to imagine what it will take to unlock stewie when he becomes available!

The only problem I’ve been having is unlocking tricia I need anime Peter to do so n I felt like I was goin to get her pretty soon but instead I haven’t got one single eyeball I got all outfits including pee pants just don’t have anime Peter n need one more whip I also took advantage of the workers weekend I bought two extra additional to the one u get automatically head bands was a pain in the butt as well but not as bad as these eyeballs I didn’t think it would b this hard I have two characters trying at least two or three times a day n still no luck so I decided just to buy all the extra buildings n blocks while I have all the extra money I’m getting i really need more friends to earn more clams wish there was a different way to add ppl I have no friends or family that plays which lowers my luck of getting free clams a day

They are looking into other options for the social aspect as a lot of us do not like the Facebook feature that much. In the meantime, feel free to use our friends lists here to add some if you would like.

It’s not so much the frequency of the drop rate, it is the pattern that I have (and maybe others). You get all but the last of a rare or extra rare item on a somewhat regular basis, and then it suddenly takes MANY MORE to get the very last one.
This doesn’t make me want to spend clams to skip it, just makes me mad.

Message to Tiny Co…. instead of classifying headband/sea shell/eyeball as epic or rare how about naming the items such as you will never get them, work on one character for like 1000 times.. i have been stuck on sea shells for like forever the building doesnt drop any .. headband dont get me started.. ive made lois do the task like 100 times i think… i hv now spend 10,000 coins on arcade just to have more options to get the headband… its crazy how many times we have to make a character work on a task …. i mean i would figure rare or epic like make the character do the same thing atleast 10 times… but its getting ridiculous… seriously.. and im starting to get bored now n just collecting enough coins…

It may be annoying when you need that one last item that just happens to be an epic item and it just doesn’t seem to drop but I feel that’s somewhat acceptable being that it’s an epic item. I think that’s part the challenge and what keeps people coming back to the game. They do drop, eventually, and I finally got Rambo Lois but it took quite awhile to get those headbands and I’m still waiting on that last shell for mermaid Peter.

I have yet to get a headband and I’ve sent her on that quest 20 times! Whips are very hard to get, also. I didn’t shell (clam) out for the extra worker and got a late start on the clown quest, so never stood a chance. Oh well, I can’t complain; it’s a fun, free game.

Hey tiny co, if you are reading this can you let us put stuff in the water? Like the GD island or pirate ship. I was just thinking that it is pretty strange to have an island on land or a pirate ship. Thanks for listening, your pal DarkPhoenix

I love the 4 hour task Pee Pants does. Jumping through the fire ring clothed, then lands naked & throws up his costume. Added bonus is it can give you a rare item to unlock Connie. I guess you need the costume & ring of fire from the circus event though. I got the costume by the Saturday so I assumed it was easy to get. Now I realise I’ve just been lucky.

Speaking of headband, I finally got one! I then went to hit that awesome “create!” button and the game crashes. After loading back up, Lois is there punching and kicking again… so I tap on her and this time I do not get a headband 😦

I had the same problem twice with epic items. Contact TinyCo via support in game and they will compensate you. I got clams and 1 of the items I lost as an apology so they do listen. The rare and very rare things aren’t too bad, so far, but the epic items are ridiculously hard to get. Hope that helps

Sorry, can’t really participate in the poll, because I didn’t keep track of the numbers. All I can say is, I didn’t get a whip yet, even though Peter is trying to attract clients on a fairly regular basis, and I also have a hard time getting headbands (2 out of 5 so far). I have every costume now but Lois’, 11 in all. Seashells and Eyeshadow weren’t a problem at all, don’t quite remember what the poncy hat or eyeballs were needed for.

Knowing that more than half of players didnt get pee pants peter makes me feel less left out for not getting him. Hopefully, we get another occasion where he can be completed and next events will last a little longer to give a better chance to everyone

Yeah I took advantage and bought and extra worker & tried to take as much advantage as I could on the building especially with longer blocks that were over a day. Just wish I had more money built up I would’ve built more than I managed. I hope they do that one again.
I thought we would have some other promotion or event this weekend was liking the weekend things but suppose they did just add Asian town etc so can’t complain really.

I had some glitch during the Circus event; my town only spawned 2 clowns at a time, no matter what. I guess you were supposed to get up to 5? If not for that I would have probably had the costume (or been just a few clams away, instead of the 170 it costs now!). Quite annoying!
I wonder how many others had that problem?

The one clown giving the pie appeared every hour, the other one that gave the horn would appear every 2 hours. Once the initial quest of removing all the clowns was finished, I never saw more than 3 clowns at one time.

I often had between 2 and 4 clowns every time I went into my game (and sometimes that was less than an hour after I had been in and removed a few).

I had to visit every hour so the clowns would actually spawn. When I left it overnight, logging in netted me a mere 2 clowns. As it is I am 1 pie off pee pants and may buy him if I feel the 10 clams are worth it, right now i’m hoping they repeat the event or pies show up for another reason.

The plot thickens! I wonder what the official code dictates. I mean, I timed their appearances to the point that I could predict the moment they*poof*ed into view…

I didn’t think I needed more workers until I saw that it will take 2 days and some hours to clear the block where PF Chinese is 😦

I didn’t take advantage of the half-price workers because I already had three. Get a fourth at 125 clams was still too pricey, and while I sometimes have all three of my workers on a job, I can’t see the need for one more. I would be fun to have the outhouse addition to the workers’ house, though!

The tipping port-a-potty! Just hope it doesn’t fall…THAT would be a ****** situation 😉

I guess one of the reasons that could have skewed the worker result is those who had already bought an additional one or two workers and felt there was no need for another. I’ve got 2 and haven’t been in a position where I’ve felt I’ve needed 3. That said, if I only had one worker, I would definitely have taken advantage of the offer. Wonder if there will be anything this weekend!
The pee pants one astonished me too, over 50% not getting the costume and being annoyed by it was one thing but 2/3 of people not getting the costume at all sounds way too high. While I know these events are not expected to achieve 100% success for everybody, I would have thought the aim would be the majority to “win”. Hopefully TinyCo will take note, they seem to be so far.

Makes sense on the workers, I never even thought about that honestly!
And I think they’ll do something a little different for the next event 😉

I already had two workers so could only buy two more.

I quite frankly do not care if it takes me awhile. Although getting Pee pants was unfair for everyone (even though I got it). In other words change up events keep item drops the same.
