New Android Update (1.0.12.1) AND New Event Feature

Hello There Butt Grabbers!

Well true to form…TinyCo has another something in store for us this weekend.  Before we get to the NEW stuff let’s just get one quick PSA outta the way.  TinyCo released a new update on Android Devices (v 1.0.12.1) be sure to hit up your Play Store and download it.  It would appear it’s just fixes for some glitches…and it’s slowed the mummy spawn rate WAY down.  Before they were slightly out of control.

Again…this is ONLY on Android. (No word if/when on iOS).

So onto the new stuff…

There are some cool looking sarcophagi in the game now. One resembling Brian and the other Stewie. So just what are they?

  3. OUCH!, so I thought I would gamble $20 bucks on the stewie sarco…I got three dance floors in a row, then the DJ booth, and ended with 1600 butts. Talk about a short end of the stick. That’s the last time I fall for that!

  5. Not sure what I think of this event right now. It’s been fun (ish) but I’m almost positive as a free player I’m not going to get the Man of Danger (if they increase idol creation the last week I suppose it’s possible), and there are two more past him? So many clam buildings, which is just a bit obnoxious in an event. I’d prefer if there were more ‘optional’ clam deco buildings and not so many stacking things in events. I have the 2/4 premium characters, and just about to get the 18k Silver Medal with 15 days to go. I know I could have done better than I have, but not enough to make me think 50k idols was possible….

    Just for reference, I’m also about to hit level 40 and have over 200k banked. I play a lot.

    I thought there were a buttload of mummies in my town; Now I know why. I’m on iOS and don’t care about most of the Egyptian themed content, because it is not in the main FG storyline. Aside from that, I think TinyCo is doing a great job and even though sometimes it feels like I’ll never be able to collect all of the items to move on, I always do. I haven’t spent a clam yet and have actually been rewarded with hundreds of them, as opposed to donuts in TSTO. All of the characters are integral ones, with voices, too! I do play both games diligently and am in about the same progress stage in both. Keep it up TinyCo and FGaddicts!

  8. I can imagine the user rate of play went down with this event, just glitches everywhere, clam heavy items and just people sick of waiting over and over for a item to drop to finally get Cleveland. When Frustration sets in to much and people leave. When the new buildings are released, I can see another 400 total clams going for at least 2 of the buildings. I see the digust happening in many people. I wonder how many addicts will kick the habit real soon.

    • I guess I wasn’t careful enough and my phone finally updated itself an hour ago. Until then I was able to get two streams of mummies both from the phone and by switching over to my tablet which had the update as they are treated separately for some reason. I was easily scooping up an extra 500 idols/hour while it lasted. Oh, well… what day is it? I should probably put on pants….

  16. Is it possible to post the odds for each of the prizes? Bought two capsules and got a couple of moon idols + the small shrine, which is a good payout. I am now tempted to buy the sarcophag, but without knowing the odds I think it’s not worth risking my last clams. :-/

  18. Alissa, this probably won’t happen, but wouldn’t it be interesting if TinyCo put Diane, Mr. Weed, and Loretta in the game even though all of them were killed off on the show? That would make for some cool gameplay and tasks I think… Like other collectible characters, these three can be under the caption ‘Back From the Dead’. You think TinyCo would consider them for a future event or update?

  19. Another update to upset me and crush my hope that TinyCo would create a fair game… I missed out on a lot of things in TSTO so vowed to become a completionist in TQFS. This event I must have already spent around 1700 clams. Including 2 of the big shrines so I have a chance at all the prizes. Now to introduce a clam based game based on chance with a ‘rare item’ is crazy. Especially when most of the other items aren’t worth 125 clams at all, when compared to the characters you can spend your clams on.

    Just a very disappointed player who hoped this game would be a lot more. This event must be absolutely horrible for casual free players.

    Like

    • I m also a longtime TSTO player and a completist there. My first impression of FamilyGuy compared to TSTO: its worse and better when it comes to spending real money. Worse because a lot of stuff cost you clams or without clams it takes you a ridiculous long time to get stuff. Better because there is a lot of stuff you have to pay for, but this is mostly decorations and not important buildings or characters. So far you can be a freemium player or small payer and still get the essential stuff…
      So don’t be a completist if you don’t have money to spend, but be a selective completist and enjoy the game…

      • In all honesty I don’t see how a freemium player can get anywhere near most of the prizes. In this new little event it would have been nice to have a clam based prize, and a smaller event currency/coin prize.

        TinyCo had a great opportunity to battle in EA, instead they’ve just been blown away by the Stonecutter’s event, sadly

    • Your right the only people who are able to get everything are the people who fork out hundreds or more likely the people who hack. Hacking is unbelievably rampant in this game yet tinyco is doing nothing about it. I have even reported people yet they do nothing.
      Having already spent a substantial amount of money on this game, I will spend no more until they do something about it.
      Its very disheartening to see others get everything from the game without putting anything into it.
      The “economy” of games like this are important if you wish to encourage people to keep playing and spending money.
      Having a button in the multiverse that would allow reporting of hacking would go a long way to restoring integrity in the game.

  21. Lots of people complaining about this event and the amount of premium purchases and I agree its annoying. As a free player Already now there is noway I’ll be able to collect all the ‘butt prizes’, in fact I dont even think it is possible which is a real bummer.
    Thats one thing I like more about the simpsons, every event (apart from easter) it was easily possible to get all the ‘event currency items’, family guy it clearly isnt, especially now the mummy rate is getting lowered (alot), that was most peoples main butt income.

    But other than that I feel the amount of clam to coin purchases (for events) are very simlair in the two games. These random boxes are like the homer buddah and mystery box, so I cant really see why people can complain about them (when comparing to tsto).
    I had big hopes for this event but its safe to say it is lacking something and I think that something is just simply the fact that all free players (or even low spenders) knew from the first few days in its impossible to collect all the prizes.

    Like

    • I think people’s problem with the capsules compared to the mystery boxes is that 1) They’ll never be giving you a free one, unlike tsto and 2) There are multiple items you have no way of getting without buying the 120 clam a pop Stewie capsule. 120 is nothing to sneeze at either. Consider how much you’d likely have to spend to get all the exclusives when you factor in misses and doubles.

      With tsto there is only one exclusive mystery box item ( the lemon tree ) and plenty of people, like me, got it for free just by collecting our free mystery box at the end of each week. Heck I even got two premium characters from the mystery box. That was when the game was still new though and I don’t think the box even gives characters anymore. Even if you do decide to pay for a tsto mystery box or Buddha you will end up paying far less than 120 donuts for it.

  22. I’m so happy that 99% of the premium stuff is glorified garbage that I don’t even want in my town. The only prize I looked forward to was the 25 clams that I can put toward premium characters. Everything else will be in my inventory forever because it is hideous.

  23. As mentioned elsewhere, it is very annoying to get these push notifications in iOS about the Sarcophagi when there is nothing there.

  25. So I got the new update (android, Note 3), and tried to open the Brian sarcophagus, and if it was a credit moon idols prize, I pulled my battery out IMMEDIATELY, thinking that the game probably saves every so many seconds and that I could get away with not taking my clams. It actually worked the first two tries (both time got the worst idol prize), and the third and fourth time I didn’t do it fast enough and it took my clams and gave me idols. I had 100 clams at the beginning, now I’m down to 50. Has anyone else tried this? If we can get it to work every time, we could be rich in clams!

        I got all the moon idol store items available at the beginning of the game for free. They were all in my store when I went to play but since moon idols hadn’t been implemented yet they were all marked as free. I destroyed all my roads and stored all but the most critical buildings and flooded my Quahog with oasis. Thanks to that I cleared all my blocks and will be getting my $500,000 achievement any day now. It still looks like crap but with all the blocks cleared I was able to put back all the currency earning buildings with some semblance of order so my earning power is even higher now.

I’m also sick of feeling like the only way to enjoy the event and get the most out of it is to spend a ton of money on clams, which sucks because up until now I’ve really enjoyed the game.
      With that said however, I get it. TC has to make money from the game somehow and up until the event they’ve given us a pretty fair selection of items and characters that only cost coins. I hope that TC continues to listen to the players and adds more coin items or lowers the clam costs of premium items for the next time they have a long event like this one.

    People complained about EA being greedy during the Easter event, but this event is much more overtly pay-to-win. Together, my premium shrines (small / medium / large) earn me more than all of my characters combined. I can’t imagine what kind of time a freemium player is having.

  44. Opened one royal sarcophagus & got the disco floor. For everyone’s info, it does not disappear from the prize list after you’ve won it (i.e. the odds on other prizes get no better). The floor is pretty cool, but NOT 120 donuts cool 😦 There is absolutely no way that I open any more sarcophagi.
    I am also QUITE bummed about the serious scaling back of the mummy spawn rate. This afternoon there were two males spawning every minute, and two females every 10th minute. It was really fun and profitable. I farmed them for about 90 minutes and made about 2,000 butts. I was just settling back in tonight to grab some more serious butt action when I made the mistake of updating (shoulda visited the site & read about it first).
