Comic-Con Has Arrived in Quahog…for iOS

Hello There Clammers!

Looks like the late night updates continue…either that or someone pushed the “red button” a little too early…in either case if you play on iOS head to your App Store and download the latest version of TQFS….

As always more details as I work through the game…and wake myself up (it is nearly 2 am here)..

Photo Jul 24, 1 50 58 AM

So…I’ve gone through the update (as have many of you) and at the moment…nothing is new.

It appears as if someone did in fact press the “red button” too early OR this is similar to what happened when they rolled out Full Moon.  It hit Android devices but didn’t trigger until Apple had the download (which, if I remember correctly, was close to a week).

In any event…I’ll keep checking and seeing if I see anything new pop up in the game via iOS…but for now it’s nearly 2:30 am…this is my 3rd game update of the day…I’m going to bed.

Update: Just after 7am on the East Coast of the US the event has officially started for iOS players.  Details will be coming shortly……

UPDATE: 8:45 Am EDT….
Ok i’ve FINALLY been able to go through the game and check things out…rundown is below the fold.

Update: 1:30 PM EDT… I’ve added a lot of info below, including a glitch report from TinyCo about known glitches that they’re working on.  I still have to finish playing through everything myself to get the rest of the details.  This is as updated as it’s going to get for now…right now I’ve gotta actually work, work.  More as I can get some time to go through it…

Remember SPOILERS AHEAD

Note…i’m updating this as I go, so remember to keep hitting refresh until the post says updated and complete)

This will run similar to the Full Moon Event….as of right not there are 46 days 9 hrs 15m left in the the event.  So it should end around September 9th….

Here’s the Event Details from the Game itself…. 2014-07-24 09.03.072014-07-24 09.17.08

The new event currency for this one is Blam! Energy Drinks.  You collect them, just like you did the butts.  They’ll look like this:

In the same area of your Quahog where the Pyramid was you’ll see the ComicCon Event.  Convention Center and a few other buildings.  You’ll have to collect Blam! in order to unlock these.

Here’s what the Convention Center Area looks like:

Playspace brown squares
Looks like the construction image is appearing randomly in the playspace sometimes. It’s just a visual bug.Event District Bugs
– One of the Spotlights does not animate.
– Askjeeves.com store that looks like McBurger
– Comic Con sign not rotating
Another Bug update…
A couple more known bugs:

– Blam Truck will not stay rotated
– if a player on the Comic Con event visits a friend that’s still on the Peter Griffin and the Kingdom of the Full Moon event, their Blam will change to Moon idols. This should not affect their total or progress in the game. It’s simply the wrong asset that’s loading. We’re working on this too!
Just to clarify, you’re not suppose to get Blam from visiting friends, but if you visit a friend who’s still on the Adventure event, when you return to your original Quahog, your Blam may appear as Moon Idols now.

  3. It is just ridiculous that a company would put out an update to IOS first, android has over 78% of the mobile market and even a big percent of iphone sales out there are big business like GE where all they use is iphone for there employees who only use phone for business. If my companies sales and development department did something like this they would all be writing resumes by now. Time is money and clients are gold, push to the larger group of consumers first or you might just lose them.

App iOS store seems to always pass testing a bit quicker(well they been doing it longer), than the android store.

  4. With 7 new characters coming in this Comic-Con Event, 2 in District 9, and 5 more on the way… TC is gonna need to make some sort of list so that we can keep track of all our characters. It should say what characters are doing what and how much longer they’ll be doing the action. And also there should be something to tell us if all of our characters are performing actions or not. I think this would be a great addition to the game and I hope we can see something like this sometime in the near future. Thanks!

    • I agree 100%, there’s way too much fumbling around figuring out who is doing what and when they will be done. We need essentially a “Task List” that shows what every character is doing at any moment. Preferably sorted by how soon they will finish.

      • I think it’s gonna be tough to do, especially since some of the blam characters are needed for other tasks (getting stewie for example). If you can check your game almost hourly during the day and set your characters to long tasks at night, it might be possible. I’m thinking about springing for the blam monster truck. Still on the fence.

        Like

      • Well what I did was write down their task time and blam, then divided their blam by the time to see which one gave out the most. Compared the prices to come up with the best one.
        The first thing I learned is that having 2 blam characters do a task together gives you less blam. Example:

        Jerome+peters hand shake = 8 blam every 2 hours = 4 an hour.
        During the day you can make peter surf the bird (by far the best task in the game lol) or do taxes with Mort. If you’ll finish peter atleast 16 times in 6 hours do surf the bird, if not (and you’ll be on in 6 hours) do taxes. Any way for this example I’ll use ‘do taxes’ because its a set amount in 6 hours.
        Do taxes = 16 blam every 6 hours = 2.66 an hour
        Jerome can save lois for 10 hours = 23 blam = 2.3 an hour
        2.3+2.66= 4.96 a hour. Which is more than the handshake.
        This is a complicated example becuase it changes when bonnie has finished getting all the pizza and if you wont be on in 10hours (for jeromes task). Then you have a choice to make.
        When bonnie is free again, she’ll do her task with lois and Jerome will be playing ball for 2blam an hour.
        Then peter will need to earn atleast 4 blam from surf a bird in 2hours or else the hand shake is better.
        Now the actual plan:

        Assuming work/sleep is 8 hours
        Peter: 80s dance (with cleaveland) – 20blam
        Quagmire: enjoy carrots – 8blam
        Chris: enjoy private time – 7 blam
        Bonnie: get lapdance (with Joe) – 20blam.
        However she will likely be doing the pizza task all week.
        Jerome: save Lois (with Lois) – 23 blam
        If you wont be on in 10 hours, but will in 8 make him do the 8 hour task for 8 Blam.
        Bruce: I dont have a pla because he was fretting for an item. He’ll likely be doing it all week, but when its finished, one of his 8 hour tasks is probably best whilst sleeping/working because I dont think he has any partner tasks.

        For free time
        Quagmire: mix drinks – 2 blam
        Chris: walk brian (with brian). 5 blam – (Best task for blam in the game other than surf the bird)
        Bonnie: put lotion on Lois (with lois) – 13 blam.
        Bruce: again, dont know his tasks because he is fretting. But unless he has a partner task, his shortest task is likely the best one

        Jerome+peter, Whilst bonnie is getting pizza (AND you’ll be on in 10 hours):
        Jerome: save Lois. (With Lois) – 23blam
        Peter: surf the bird/do taxes 16+blam (depending on how much you’ll be on, Surf the bird could earn alot more than 16)

        When bonnie is done with pizza and she has taken Lois away, or you wont be on in 10 hours:
        Jerome: play ball – 2blam
        Peter surf the bird- 1 blam
        UNLESS you wont finish peter 4 times in 2 hours. Then the best is the handshake.

        So thats my plan.
        Might seem long and complicated, but atm with only patrick stewart to unlock (from the update atleast) the only ‘hard’ one is peter/bruce/bonnie, because they change depending on whats what.
        I want the characters though so my bonnie will be on the strip pole working her butt off!
        Jerome will be saving lois 2times a day, sleep and then again straight after, then go to short tasks till bedtime
        Peter will be 80s dancing at the club, same times as jeromes saving Lois and surfing the bird the rest/short task the rest.

        If you do see this, and you understand it, I hope it helps lol.
        Atm I cant see there being a way to get 100k but the event is 40days, so it will likely add new things in at some point.
        Also this plan likely changes when new characters are able to be unlocked. But the basics stay the same.

  18. I don’t normally stick up for TinyCo, but I have to on this one. Android and Apple stores, require stick approval for the apps. Why you might ask, they run tests for your protection. These test check to see If holes exist, viruses exist and so one. Some small app fly by in these tests, while larger ones take a bit to pass. Also, Alissa said somewhere they’re may be a surprise for android device users. Which may have brought extra testing.

    So Android users, enjoy the week off. There’s a ton of craziness to start this event. Also you get a chance before you start to use all the information from ios. You can get all the characters that drop blams and have them do the longest task. Then when you start the event, your starting with a bunch of blams 😀
    Good luck and dress up in your fav superhero costume while playing 😀

    In other words do I need to choose what device to play the game on from now on and stick to that device for the foreseeable future?

  32. For people worrying about the Blam per day math…remember the moon event had same issue, but then went through a couple multipliers speeding up collection during event. I’m guessing this will follow same pattern.

    Like

    • I am hoping it would also happen with this event, but I believe it would be highly unlikely. I think it was just an error on their part during the moon idol event. The only reason I reached the 100k mark during the last event was because there was a short period where the game had an incredibly high spawn rate for the mummies. They were spawning every minute. It was possible to get 10k idols in a day. That is the only way I see for me to get 100k without buying premium stuff. To be honest, would be glad to just reach 50k and get the Q building.
      Once the other outfits/chars get released, it would be harder to get Blam cause we would end up focusing on tasks that drop items rather than the tasks that yield the highest blam.

Even then it seems impossible to get 2,000/day.

  47. So I am a bit confused about the whole Q hotel thing now I’m currently repairing the Q for 350 blam but under the list of prizes you receive the Q after receiving 50,000 blam so is this a case where you actually get a second Q or does it mean you only get to keep the Q after the event if you’ve reached the 50,000 blam mark

  48. Soooooooo frustrating that Android is lagging again. Well, at least TSTO released Level 43 yesterday. I guess I’ll spend my time over there instead. My frustration is flipping back and forth so much between TSTO and FGTQFS that I am getting confused who I am angry with anymore.

  49. God this having to wait a week is already killing me. I guess at this point #teamandriod can atleast have a solid plan of attack to tackle and get everything.

  50. Any reason why there is a week between the device launches…..Seems it allows more time for IPHONE users to earn the prizes.
