Hello There Clammers!
Phase 2 of the event has hit. Ron Perlman, Mutant Stewies, and more.
NOTE: To get Mutant Stewie you MUST Complete Part 6 of Quahog Comic-Con. Once you’ve done that Mutant Stewie’s questline will appear. You DO NOT have to have Stewie unlocked to do this.
More details on the way…
Update 8:30 PM EDT: Buildings, content and instructions being added below…
First let’s do the new stuff….
New Buildings:
Cost Blam!
Thing-A-Ma-Gadgets– 750 Blam! Earns $30, 20xp. 4hr Build time.
Premium
Infinizap Battery Factory– 250 Clams, Earns $60, 40xp always drops Batteries. 6×5 Note: Batteries are needed to run the zapper, if you don’t want to wait to recharge it. More on that coming.
Screening Theater- 150 Clams, Earns $40, 25xp/6hrs. Always drops Film (needed to unlock Ron Pearlman) 6×9
Ron Perlman’s Trailer- 100 Clams, Earns $40, 25xp/6hrs. Always drops Puppies (needed to unlock Ron Pearlman) 3×6
New Decorations:
Cost Blam!
Wacky Waving Tube Hero– 300 Blam! Animated Decoration
Single Spotlight- 150 Blam! Animated Decoration.
New Character:
Ron Perlman– Freemium, will cost 200 Blam! to repair the part of the Comic-Con District he comes in….
Unlocking Ron Perlman.
You will notice a poor guy dangling on the flagpole over by your Convention Center. He is stuck in a cocoon.
Known Glitch..If you DON’T See Ron:
Not seeing Ron dangling, it is a known issue. If you quit and reload, he should appear! This will be fixed in the next update.
In order to get him out you gotta “repair” the flagpole. This will take 8hrs and 200 of your Blam! Once you have it repaired, you now will have the chance to unlock Ron. 
Ron Perlman Unlock Requirements: 
10 Black & White Movies(Extra Rare)- Make Captain Hammered Fly Under the Influence OR Get from Screening Theater
20 Puppies (Rare)- Make Bruce Make Bathtub Gin OR Get From Ron Perlman’s Trailer
10 Jazz Records (Rare)- Get by clearing Red Shirt Nerds OR Make Quagmire Watch “My Little Furry” OR Get From “Q” Hotel
5000 Blam– Remember…when you USE this it’ll disappear from your Blam! on hand, at the top…
Mutant Stewie
Mutant Stewie is out for revenge and will hold your Celebrities hostage (And your buildings too)! In order to stop him you’ll have to Zap him. In order to get the zapper in your Quahog you’ll have to complete Part 6 of Quahog Comic-Con questline (where you unlock the Convention Center)
Zapper Details
You use the Zapper to free buildings from Mutant Stewie. Stewie takes over buildings in your Quahog (When he’s there you will NOT be able to use the building)..the only way to free the buildings is to use the Zapper on him
You get 1 shot with the zapper every 6hrs. However, if you earn more Batteries you can use them to instantly recharge your zapper.
Zapping Stewie will drop Blam! and sometimes more batteries.
Here’s how you do it…when you see Mutant Stewie over a building you tap on him and the zapper screen will appear.
If you have a charge left on the zapper it will say zap, if it doesn’t have a charge a timer on it will appear as well as the option to use a battery. From the zapper screen press Zap!
If you don’t have a charge…it’ll look like this:
Pressing the zap button will free the building of Mutant Stewie…
Batteries
Batteries give you extra rapid charges on the Zapper. They’re considered STUFF in this game, and will fall from character tasks or other ways. Their drop rate is rare. You can also purchase more batteries with clams.
Batteries can be earned from: Making Patrick Stewart Pick Out Weapons OR Get it From the Infinizap Battery Factory OR Get From Zapping Mutant Stewie OR Purchase Battery Packs with Clams OR Get from Nerds
So you can earn them for FREE (Patrick Stewarts 24hr task, from nerds & from Zapping Mutant Stewie). Just remember they have a Rare Drop rate.
Battery Purchases:
1 Battery- 15 Clams
3 Batteries– 40 Clams
12 Batteries- 140 Clams
Blam! Reminder
TinyCo has added a reminder about spending Blam! to the game:
Comic Book Page 2!
A new page to the Comic Con Comic Book is out! Check it out:
There you have it Clammers, the complete rundown of phase 2 of the Comic Con Event!

I am hearing rumors of another fabulous four costume becoming available tomorrow too might be jumping the gun hopefully they are I have enough to do as it is I don’t need anything else. If things continue to pile up on me too much I get overwhelmed and exhausted which ultimately leads to me throwing my hands up in defeat and surrendering. Which usually just means I shut it off and take a break if I am playing my Xbox and by break I mean quit playing what I’m playing for a few days and play something else to take a breather. But with this game if you take a break like that you fall even further behind and eventually don’t get the end result. So the lesson here is play more and more even if it starts to really irritate you. And Bonnie you aren’t helping matters any of all the pizza slices I’ve gotten none of them were from you I swear did they rig her drop rates to be even less than usual not fair.

Ok so around 6pm EST I was able to get into my game. Now since there are new things available I went to play around 12am EST and all of a sudden I everytime I go to start up the game I get this error that says “unable to create viewcontroller”. I do not understand what is going on…is there anything I can do about this? I really want to play my game and this error keeps coming up over and over again. When I hit okay the game reloads and the error comes up again. It’s really beginning to piss me off. Any help would be grateful! Please help!!!!

Am I the only one who feels like it is too hard to get Blam? I have a score of 7,271 so far. You are required to use so much between the unlockable characters and Quests. I have only spent of repairing the buildings and unlocking characters and I still don’t have enough to unlock Ron and do the quests. Once I do spend on them, I will have to save up again for the headquarters I want… Dang.

Getting Perlman requires 10 extra rare?!? (It is now Friday so) What the he’ll!?!?! It took 3 weeks to get the 10 plutonium for stewie with 2 characters working on it. This is almost completely unrealistic in the timeframe provided unless you buy the theater.
This event is getting completely out of control & not at all in a good way. There are far too many premium items to try to choose from, not to mention that they are overpriced for what you get & the cool ones like Kevin’s comics are almost entirely worthless as premium items. While I’m willing to spend some money, Im certainly not going to invest $100-$200 to play this game for a month.
Then they throw this whole battery pack scheme into the mix. There are still 4 more playable characters & 2 outfits to introduce & all that stuff is going to cost clams & take time too.
Tinyco bit off way more than they can chew with this event. My prediction is this one evolves into complete chaos by week 4 & they end up with a lot of ticked off players on their hands.
I was kind of enjoying the first day of the android release but this whole development has me seriously reconsidering whether I want to waste any more time or money on this at all.
LikeLike
I view this as more of a way to keep you busy. Many complain events don’t have enough content and get bored 2 weeks in. This definitely is packed full. The new stuff serves dual purpose. Zapping Stewie Spawn has chances of drops FOR Ron’s puppies and movies. So helps in that regard. Building that cost Blam! (Thing A Ma Gadgets) has battery drop chances. Same with the Nerds. Random Batteries drop out. So still many options for the average player to get involved and not use up those precious Clams. They still do need to provide special items for those that DO like to invest. So there is a combination to please both sides of players. Hang in there. Only a week in. 😉

HAHAHAHAHA no. I do disapprove, but I do it in a constructive way and I do it to them …Personally. Lol. 😉
I also have done this for a while with other games, so I have an alternate view of all that goes on with games from their infancy to their growth. I love getting feedback from players. I send it on to them. I just prefer to present an attitude of what a game should be to me, FUN. Negativity just breeds negativity and I think if that is all I spoke it would not help matters or others one bit.
I do see issues in the game and have addressed them as such with the creators at TinyCo. But I also see potential and have hopes of a game growing with its players. Overall…EVERY game launched so far has had its issues. Seeing it from start to where they are now opens my eyes in a different way then the standard player will see.
Does this all make sense? I am attempting to explain it in a way others may understand.
Short story long…I am a gamer Geek girl and I love my games. Addicted as frak to them. So I am passionate about them. I am just another player.

Actually I’m only 1 day in, which makes this even more frustrating. I’ve already got a week to make up for because of the iOS only release & won’t even be able to start the mutant stewie stuff until I get captain hammered & Patrick stewart.
I also understand that some people can afford to spend what I make in a month on a game but I don’t think the people who are creating this game should make it so only those people who have an exorbitant budget (as well as both an android & iOS device) have a chance of doing well in an event.
I’m also fairly confident that regardless of what this “special surprise” for android players is that the people who have been playing the whole time will just switch their account to another device & get the gift as well, thus rendering it no consolation at all to the people who had to wait a week dancing the shipoopi while some players got to play a new event in real time.
I’m certainly not spending the $35 I set aside for this event until I determine it might be of some value.
LikeLike
I agree. Get all you can free and save those Clams for what REALLY speaks to you and you must have if you wish to open the wallet.
I know the items still seem out of reach. It is most definitely not the standard games we are used to. They do want to make it possible for Android to catch up to that week off too. Trust me…I am all over that as I am an android player and my actual game is sad and lonely and lil Blam! Lol.
I also see all the ins n outs of the Special Surprise. It is the same as Gold Suit Peter. Hop on iOS and get him and play with him, hop back to Android and keep playing without him. It is not possible I think to police those with multiple devices (like us Addict Team Members). It is just a matter of trying to make it right. I applaud that. No other gaming company has done that for a “free” game that I have seen.
I sit and await what the next phase of the event brings. Still hard for me to judge so early into it. I am still having fun regardless. 😉

As much as I am loving this event, there are a few things that are getting on my nerves.
The fact that the buildings you can buy with blam don’t have any blam dropping out of them is annoying. I know the comic-con buildings do but you would have thought the other buildings would too. I’m not talking loads, about the same amount at the comic-con buildings.
Which leads on to how much blam you have to spend to get anything! There is no way I’m going to be able to buy all the buildings, unlock all the characters and all the costumes. Well, only if I stopped being a freemium player. With TSTO, I’ve always managed to collect everything from events (bar a few items on prize wheels and boxes) without the need to spend any real world money and gradually collect premium items as and when I get the donuts, that’s a working system that I love as it makes me strive to collect the right amount of donuts. With both games I am a completist, or try to be. But with FGTQFS, I feel new items are thrown at us every weekend that really I am only going to be able to get by being a premium player.
And I’m sorry but I’m not a robot, I can’t stay awake every minute of every day for nearly 50 days sitting on the game making Peter do his one minute task over and over again. I already feel I am on the game at least once an hour, if not more, and it doesn’t seem to be doing the slight bit of difference.
I’m not saying that I will stop playing because at the end of the day, I do enjoy it. I just feel that they are just trying to get as much money out of us as possible and they don’t think that a lot of us play this for fun as freemium players.
Obviously the game is still classed as new so it’s still going through its teething problems but I really think they need to re-address their events and how to value their players.
Am I the only one feeling like this or are more of you feeling the same?
And with that….. Rant over! 🙂
To end this comment (*cough* essay) on a high note, I really am enjoying the event and I think that the element of mutant Stewie is a great idea and I’m looking forward to see what else comes along in the next few weeks 🙂
LikeLike
Sheesh…you got rant all over my desk. 😉
I appreciate the feedback. They do too. Tell them. Menu, help & Settings, contact…
For myself, I actually enjoy the multi levels of play in this game and the fact is is NOT TSTO. If it was a mirrored game, it would bore me to death. I see it in all different lights. As a premium player for blog purposes, I do see Clams do not go as far…this is true. I tell them. Lol.
I do however enjoy they try to keep excitement in the game. Very much resembling RPG style games. I prefer challenges over one n done. It is all in how you play the game and what YOU want out of it. Play on what suits your time frames. Don’t burn out on it. Set some goals of what YOU want and see what you can get. Keep in mind with past events…those collections doubled and tripled over time helping you get there faster. 6 weeks to go is still a LONG time.
And what do you mean you are NOT a robot? And here I thought all this time… Lol 😉
Hang in there. It is a game, have fun…enjoy. Think over this…at least TinyCo listens to the players and adapts the game for them. That to me is a pleasing thought. 🙂

This is very true but like the shots game in the last event, because of my schedule I missed out on loads of butts! Like I said, I’m not a robot (well, last time I check I wasn’t).

Does mutant Stewie only appear after completing part 6 of the Quahog Comic-Con quest line or does he appear regardless and completing part 6 just unlocks the zapper? If completing part 6 unlocks mutant Stewie, wouldn’t it be better to intentionally NOT complete that part? I’m having a hard time seeing any benefit to having mutant Stewie in my town.
LikeLike
You have to complete Part 6 to have the chance. Unlocking Patrick Stewart triggered the Spawn questline for me. Once he spawns, taking him out actually helps as you earn items like puppies that help to unlock Ron and more batteries for the zapper. So in a round about way it is helpful to the overall event. 😉

Stewie seems more of a pain than fun. I told my daughter to not even bother trying to unlock Patrick or do part 6 of that quest. She is so behind on other things that locking her out of buildings will put her further behind. I am still on the fence if I enjoy this game. I trudge on but this game will not see my money. I know it isn’t TSTO but at least with them you don’t have to build the characters. I am more frustrated with wasting hours and not getting anything out of it. When there are four of us playing this game in our house and two have no issues getting rare or extra rare and one does, it makes no sense to me. 1 game plays here and there and will be gone for two weeks so doesn’t put an effort in it right now.

It is a different kind of game. Not all may like the style. That is understandable. It is more a nod at the old RPG games like Zelda where it is a thinking and work required game. Not the usual one tap n done kind. It is ok if you do not like it. A game is meant to be fun to YOU. If it is not, there is no harm in walking away if you do not enjoy what it has to offer. You’re always welcome here regardless. 😉

Does the battery factory give only 1 battery every 12 hours? At 250 clams, that would be a pretty awful deal given you can buy 12 for 140 clams and each one only gets you 50 blam.

Yes, only one. This is where Clam management comes in handy. You decide what YOU want in the game. Some want the building just to have it. Others just want batteries, so I appreciate there are other methods to earn them.
Also, it is a long run thing. Over the entirety of the event…the payout may be worth it to others if it is even just one at a time instead of 12 in one shot.

Well, it would figure out to be not quite 2 a day. 38 days times 2 is 76, so let’s say 65 batteries. Buying them outright is 11.6 clams per battery… times 65 is around 750 clams. So I guess 250 for the factory could be a steal.
But then you also have to consider how many free batteries you could get vs. How many stewie spawns there are. Would any batteries go to waste? We don’t yet know.

I “spent” 1000 blam when the bouncing checkmark appeared above Patrick. No warning…no confirmation…just 1000 blam disappeared. When there’s a bouncing checkmark….I click on it. Not expecting that I just Purchased an Achievement…. That’s a problem. If it’s an achievement, it shouldn’t be a purchase, and you certainly should be warned about it. This set me back a whole day and I had to wake up in the middle of the night and eventually spend clams to speed up tasks to get the rocketship. They’re making this game way too complicated than it needs to be to the point where it’s more of a pain in the ass than it is fun. Now there’s batteries and zappers? Come on…

And, that I’ve been grinding every fking day and still have far less than the projected amount of blam needed to acquire all the items.

I know the Calendars can be a bit overwhelming, please don’t stress on them. It is just a guide, nothing more. As with past events, other items will add to the Blam! intake and it changes weekly. Just look at the Kingdom event, double and triple amounts of Moon Idols to help with collection. Still TONS of time to just play and enjoy. 😉

Sorry you feel that way. When you tapped the lock on him it said he needed that many Blam! to unlock. We also provided the info here in our posts on him. It is the same with most the event items. They have a Blam! requirement, when you unlock…it uses that Blam!
As far as the extras…6 weeks to go is a LONG time. They need to put something in to keep interest or in a week everyone will say “I’m bored, can this end now”.
LikeLike
Still, I do agree with swaggy that it’s a bit unintuitive. When you finished collecting stuff for unlocking a character, the checkmark also appears in the corresponding bubble and it doesn’t cost a thing to tap it and finish that bit. The blam bubble is different from the other ones by costing something.
LikeLike
I do understand what you mean. I know if you need gems for 6 different characters and tap that bubble to put a check mark on it, it pulls all needed count from the overall to that character you just tapped. (So if it needs 12 and you have 14, you only have 2 left to use for another unlock til you earn more). Same with other similar materials. I know it may seem easier to wait til ALL collected to use them. For others, they like to have them already out of the way…so it is a two sided option there that has to be weighed. My best suggestion is give feedback of it to TinyCo. In the meantime we try to let you know the requirements for each unlock so you can keep an eye out for stuff like this.

Question about the zapper recharging. I know once you use it, it automatically resets the charging clock. I had 3 hours until it was ready and used a battery a nerd dropped which reset the clock so it won’t be available for another 6 hours(unless a nerd drops a battery). So it won’t be ready until 4am and I will still be fast asleep. If I wait until 10 am to use the zapper, will I have 2 batteries available? Just trying to figure out if I should zap a Stewie when I wake up or if I should just wait a couple more hours and wind up with 2 batteries.

Everyone here is fabulous. Love the useful information!
Would you please check the verity of these statements?
1. Gold nerds have a chance to drop batteries.
After I expended the batteries for the zapper and the battery count was zero, I went through a horde of blue, red and gold nerds without focusing on the drops. Minutes later, I noticed that the battery count had increased to one.
2. The recharge time for the internal battery in the zapper resets after every use. Therefore, it is best to begin fire missions after the zapper’s battery has recharged, rather than use earned batteries anon (Conan!).
After I expended the second battery, it seemed that recharge clock reset. However, I am not certain and am waiting until after the zapper is recharged to verify.

I will delete the first one. To answer your question, If you want Blam and have the Clams, the Sommelier pays out better than the trucks. But the SUPER Truck is the better payout of just the trucks. I would say see what entices YOU in the game. Is it worth it to get the building and drops? Or do you not care for keeping the building and rather pay straight out to buy the costume/skin/character outright. Clams vs Clams cost essentially. Make sense?
