There needs to be some kind of algorithm or something that dictates how many times you have to use a character for a task before it will drop something. Currently there’s no rhyme or reason and it takes a ridiculous amount of time for things like the eyeball.

Some people are reporting the eyeballs are starting to drop now…but keep in mind the Eyeball is Epic and the Headband is Extra Rare…so the Eyeball is supposed to be harder to get. But it is FRUSTRATING, I know.

You all sound pretty impatient. The whole idea is that it’s a free game and progression takes a looooong time. Want it to go faster? That’s when they get paid, as they should, for putting a great game together. I play games where you have one chance a week to have something you need for progression, with anywhere from .05-5% drop rates. Take a chill pill, have some patience, and realize this game will take you longer than a week or two to zip through (a fact that I rather enjoy).

I understand your comment and you’re not entirely wrong. What I find wrong with it is the limited amount of time one has in order to complete events before new ones become unlocked. In line with the tsto game a diligent player should have no problem completing time sensitive quests without the use of in game currency. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t get the clown. No where close with the amount of time I had. And now a new limited time quest line is coming, has come. I’m not sure as I’m stuck a bunch of quests back trying to progress. I’m happy for the game and since next to no mobile game gets released perfect these “complaints” are one way for the developers to make a change for the better. If my comments are too venomous, then I apologize. I’m just frustrated that I’m going to miss out because of the small statistical challenge of a rare drop.
LikeLike
We get it. Venting is needed. That’s why we even made a lil spot for it. Lol.
The new event has only been “teased” so far. Has not started just quite yet. I know many are used to TSTO way of things, but I like that this game is different. I don’t want two identical games myself. I want something more challenging in game play while keeping the humor.
Constructive criticism is great. They are great at listening to feedback and welcome it. Feel free to send suggestions of your experience to them through your menu. They won’t know if something didn’t quite turn out how they anticipated unless we give them some good feedback. The game will grow with us, just give it time. They are still so new. Only been out since April. I want to wait and see where they are in 6 mos. This is gonna get interesting. 😉

I had the same problem. Had 4 but suddenly was down to 1 and CG is right… I had just created Anime Peter.

Re: Interrogation of High Value Targets
Security Level: Code Word – Epic
6 more hours of “invasive” interrogation (don’t ask), and they are as closed mouth as ever. The two suspects just came murmuring the same inane, non-sequitor dialogue over and over and over.
I was finally able to contact Tiny C.O., and I was authorized to offer a deal. The return of the two agents in relatively good shape in exchange for information on the Eyeball Project.
Tiny C.O. agreed, but apparently didn’t understand. All he sent was this generic response containing only the most rudimentary information about Project Eyeball. Stuff that we could find out by Googling! Needless to say, the torture of the two suspect continues.
I am beginning to think that I am torturing the wrong people. Perhaps a midnight raid to capture Tiny C.O., with the intention of torturing HIM, should be the next step.
Not sure when the next report will be. I assume we will be hunkering down to avoid the retaliatory strike I expect after I questioned the intelligence and manhood of Tiny C.O.
Agent Cguy out.

So long Family Guy! Thought that sending a nasty gram to Tiny Co might induce them to force the issue or at least admit they have a problem. Nope. Just a canned response promising it’s all random and some drops take longer then others. I call B.S. I’m done with this game and Tiny Co. I’ve uninstalled and won’t play again. I really wanted to have an enjoyable experience with a franchise I love, but this has been awful. While I still love Family Guy, I will be leary of any future tie-ins to it. Thanks for your time. #ragequit

Re: Interrogation of High Value Targets
Security Level: Code Word – Epic
After 10 days of intensive interrogation, the subjects refuse to give up the details on Project Eyeball. Even with the authorized “enhanced” interrogation techniques, their resolve has been strong.
Current efforts at sleep deprivation, and interrogating them every 6 hours, has so far proved fruitless.
I am afraid our only option at this point is to locate their diminutive leader, the so-called Tiny Commanding Officer, or Tiny C.O.
We are proceeding to eye gouging, and hypodermic needles under the fingernails, and hope to have more in the next report, 6 hours from now.

It feels like items that can come out of buildings are easier to get. I got a lot of the sea shells from the Lobster Shanty, and the Library gave me books for Brian, when Herbert was a bit of hit and miss. And I won’t even mention the dreaded headbands… Maybe this is a suggestion for TinyCo, to always include a building with the really rare stuff? That way, you don’t have to worry about sending people on tasks so much, because the items will eventually drop out of a building.
LikeLike
Not a bad idea
LikeLike
I agree on that being a good idea. I haven’t purchased any premium buildings so it’s mostly up to chance for me. Regarding those epic and very rare drop rates, I haven’t found a single headband from Lois or an eye from either peter or the doctor (name is eluding me). I’ve had them on tasks for almost a week without a single drop. I’m starting to get a little discouraged.

FWIW, the headband can and does pop out of the Video Arcade building.

I have seen that now, thanks, but I think that building only unlocked with district 7 – that was two days ago for me. I will built that as soon as my worker is done with “We Heal You Long Time”.

Perhaps a maximum attempt before completion? I am also at something like 40 attempts (2.5%) for something that should take 20 at most. Assurance of random is one thing, actually PROVING it’s random is another.
Too many times that random number generator has gotten very stingy with only 1 item left.
I am trying not to give up hope on that last eyeball, but I just KNOW that a 24 hour costume creation is going to be my reward…

It definitely bothers me more for costumes that are needed to progress in the game. S&M Lois has been hanging out unfinished for me for quite some time, but that isn’t bothering me.

It just depends on your game. Everything is random. I unlocked him in my main game before I finished collected all the items for Midlife crisis Lois. I think it just depends on what you need, what you’re doing & the randomness of the game.

More spoilers of upcoming content for me. Something to look forward to! Plus, it allows me ample time to set characters free from tasks that help collect stuff and know how many coins I need. When Asiantown was released, it came all of a sudden and I had to wait a day to start clearing the land in District 7 as the 2 workers I had were busy clearing land in the other parts of my town. That said, I hope we know soon when Stewie will be added in the game.

hello. this is the first time I am posting on this site. I really do not like this drop ratio at all. I find it a complete waste of time to send a character on 4 hour tasks or longer and come up empty handed. It is actually un motivating me to come back to the game. I understand its part of the game and stuff but this whole “maybe I will get something or maybe not” is putting me on the borderline of quitting the game. I used to play TSTO religiously since its inception in 2012 and recently got fed up with EA and their tactics. I was hoping to not get into this whole game of chance thing with FGTQFS but it seems that to continue playing I don’t have a choice(unless I use clams). Given my experiences with EA and TSTO I am very RELUCTANT in spending money right now for any game or app. I bought the original 1.99 deal at the beginning of the game but that was all. Also, I do not like the friends page. I do not want to use FACEBOOK for my neigbors. They need to find another approach to this part of the game. Besides those 2 details, I quite enjoy the dialogue and the other aspects of the game
If you excuse me now, I have to go send Bonnie to Twerk it and hope to get an item or wait another 4 hours.

The drop rate IS frustrating. We’ve been assured it is completely random tho. However, we did send the findings of the poll (and your comments) to TinyCo..and they read this blog regularly…so hopefully there may be some adjustments in the future.
Keep in mind the game is still new, less than 2 months old, so it’ll still take some tweaking and fine tuning before it’s just right. 🙂

Right there with you. Regardless of the assurances of it being random – the decision to set up the required items wasn’t random – and hence my frustration. To take 3 epics and 3 extra rares for a character (AnimePeter) is something out of an EA play book and has nothing to do with randomness. If it was one or the other I wouldn’t complain, but alas…
To have him required to open another character only throws gas on the frustration fire.
