Hello There Clammers!
Here we are in the final week of a long and grinding Comic Con Event. Every week for 7 weeks there has been something new introduced into the game, some good and some meh…but we’ve been grinding it out together for the last 7 weeks.
And now we’re in the home stretch…when those of us who have all of the prizes and almost all of the costumes are starting to think we can slow down a bit. After all, bombing minions and collecting harpoons is REALLY starting to feel like a grind. BUT TinyCo doesn’t want us to slow down….no they like when we’re constantly in our games checking every couple of hours. I get it. It’s what makes this game great.
So what does TinyCo do to get us grinding out these last few days? With less than 6 days left in the event they release Stripper Bonnie (a costume MANY of you have been requesting for a while now). Cool right? Wrong!
With a Comic-Con Event that has been AMAZING…this, in the final days, is an EPIC fail on the part of TinyCo….
First, let me say (as many of you already know) Bunny and I ADORE TinyCo and the staff that works there. It’s a fantastic company and they really love what they do. They want to make this the best game they possibly can….and are ALWAYS up to listening to player feedback (in particular the feedback from this blog). For every poll we do, we send TinyCo the results…and they almost always tweak something in the game based on YOUR feedback. That’s AWESOME.
Because we have such respect for them we’ve been able to easily defend them in a lot of cases. While we agree with player reaction to a lot of things, we can see the other side of the situation and often times get what’s going on. We always relay your feedback to them, but we get it. We can defend them. We can understand what it is they’re doing, and why they’re doing it.
But this….I can’t defend this.
It’s bad enough that they release a character with Rare and Extra Rare items with less than 6 days left to go…BUT to put the item collection AFTER a 58 hour questline is just wrong. That leaves many players with only 3 days to collect 20 Rare items and 5 Extra Rare items (I know there’s common in there but they should fall fairly easily).
THREE DAYS?! Are you kidding me? It’s been a week since Rollocop hit the game and I’m STILL not done collecting everything for him (and he also only needed 5 Extra Rare items) and you expect me to get everything for Bonnie in THREE DAYS?! Especially when all of the tasks are 4, 6 and 8hrs long?! Seriously?
Not a fan of this AT ALL. If TinyCo wanted people to spend Clams on Stripper Bonnie they should have just made it a Premium Costume. I gladly would have shelled out clams for her…if they were being honest up front and saying “Hey spend Clams on her if you want her!” Although…I WON’T pay the 650 clams it would cost the rush build her this way. (especially after already spending $150+ in my personal game just for THIS EVENT and having less than 500 clams of it left)
I know many of you agree with me on this. You have no issues grinding it out to get stuff BUT you take exception when you have THREE DAYS to do it!
So, because we’re not just those who like to attack and run away…let’s give some constructive criticism to TinyCo about what they can do to make this situation better….here are my ideas:
-Switch Stripper Bonnie to a Premium Costume, costing no more than 150 clams (it is a skin after all)…or bundle her with the new Stripper pole for 170 Clams, and let it be an instant create.
-Open her costume up in Al Harrington’s NOW so we can start earning the STUFF needed to collect her BEFORE we complete the 58hr questline. That way we have more than 3 days to earn everything.
-Change the drop rates on the items so the rare items are Uncommon and the Extra Rare is Rare. That should make it slightly easier to earn everything you need in the allotted time.
-Make it so Stripper Bonnie is NOT tied with Comic-Con. Allow players unlimited time to unlock her. Afterall, what does Stripper Bonnie have to do with Comic-Con anyway? She’s actually a highly requested costume, and by making her limited-time you just alienate a bunch of newer players…and we’ll have a Cleveland situation all over again.
I think any one of those four options are fair. Many players, myself included, are MORE than willing to grind it out and earn the costume (or spend a reasonable amount of Clams on it)…BUT feel it’s extremely difficult to do so with the allotted time. Any of those four options are fair to both players AND TinyCo.
And let’s try not to have short term memories here. Let’s remember all the AMAZING things TinyCo has done during this event….
-Actual Celebrities, VOICED, in our games! (many for free)
– Made it A LOT easier to earn ALL of the Blam! Required to unlock all of the prizes (and many of us are sitting at or near 200,000 Blam! Already)
-Countless freemium buildings costing Blam! Currency
-Blam! Boxes where you can get FREE Clams!
-All the Free Clams they’ve given us during this event!
-Really awesome character animations
– And most importantly they kept us all engaged. Each and every week they introduced NEW and exciting content, that had many of us clamoring for Thursday night to see what would be coming and what they had in store for us. And in MANY cases they not only updated Thursday BUT updated Friday as well. That is the mark of a great game!
This in my opinion is the FIRST major fail of this update…and hopefully TinyCo will continue to be the awesome company they are and do something about it!
Now it’s YOUR turn! What are some suggestions you might have for TinyCo to correct the Stripper Bonnie situation? What are some of your highlights from this update? Did you initially think you wouldn’t make it to 100,000 Blam! and are now sitting at WAY more? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

So I just want to point out something I noticed last night while playing(falling asleep). Stripper Bonnie in Al Harringtons doesn’t have the big limited time banner across her costume like Joe, Peter, Lois, etc. have. I don’t know if it shows up like that for anyone else but it gives me hope that we will be able to continue working on Bonnie after the comic con event ends. So I’m holding out until the last day to see what really happens.

I admit I am one of the people that thought I would never make the hundred thousand blam and now have over double that I even spent money on clams to get Bryan and Nathan but now I am sitting on a surplus of missels and I do not think that I will get through this quest line to get to actually being able to collect parts for Bonnie so this will be the first item of the event that I was not able to get that I wanted I got all the fantastic four and iron baby I got all of the comic con celebrities and prizes I one free clams so all in all I would say this event has been a success

ComicCon event was awesome. After failing the 1st event(the one with the pyramid) and being able to gather everything from this event was really fun. Although this last part for the Stripper Bonnie kind of ruined for me. I spent all my clams just to speed up the process and try to start collecting the items for bonnie, the day is almost done and so far these are what i have 3 earrings (bonnie, trisha and connie), 2 stockings (chris, seamus and quag) 3 high heels (joe and jerome) and 0 wax (peter, lois and bruce)
and from the looks of it i wont be able to finish this task for bonnie. What makes this sad is the fact that this costume really matters since it’s part of the SHOW that we all love. This costume is a must have for every fan of the show. Partly a freemium players since i only bought clams once, but for me to buy again is out of the question. On i side note,since im from PHL and we are one day ahead does this mean our comiccon event ends on the 9th of September? only got this bonnie notice September 3 which is a Wednesday here in the Philippines. Hope tinyco can give us a little more time our simply add more character who can do the job collecting stuff(we still have brain, stewie, cleveland,MEG, and other premium players we can utilize)
Thank you tincyco!
Thank you bunny and alissa for the updates.

I voiced my concerns about the time it took just to get to the collection tasks and the limited time to get them done via in-game mail. No response after ~24 hours. Has anyone else heard back yet?
LikeLike
If it’s any consolation I’ve been doing tasks for about 48 hours and:
7/15 Earrings
8/10 Fishnets
7/10 Heels
4/5 Wax
Oddly enough the Earrings are lagging behind even as Common drops because of the task length and because I’ve got Quagmire working on the other item.
The Wax doesn’t appear to be so bad given the drop rate formula and the short hour tasks. There’s 18 chances a day to get them and minus sleep I think I’m doing about 15 of those a day. When you think about having ~100 chances(assuming most of you start the collection soon) give or take it’s not so bad to get those 5 and if things get close at the end and you need to spend 20-40 clams to get the last 1-2 you need, it’s OK.
This isn’t quite as hairy as some of you think. I’m mostly addressing the more active users who have finished the rest of the stuff or are coming close. 4-5 days of collecting on this will probably yield you the costume or get you darn close and if you’ve got a small amount of clams hanging around and need to use them don’t hold back as TinyCo has shown to be generous with them anyway.

I don’t think Stripper Bonnie is an event exclusive costume.Think about it, in the build menu, event exclusive items, including costumes, have that red outline, and generally have a blue background, like Robocop has. Stripper Bonnie has a normal, white window that general costumes have. Also, in Al harringtons, the event exclusive costumes have “Exclusive” written below them, where as Stripper Bonnie does not have this on her. Also, the event exclusive costumes, spare Iron Baby, have all required blam to make, where Stripper Bonnie doesn’t need blam. For these reasons, I think that the costume will still remain makeable after the event, because, even though she was released during the event, there is no evidence to suggest that she is exclusive to the event, like The Fabulous Four, Iron Baby or Rolo-Cop are.

I’m not a freemium player. I spend clams quite a bit. But I’m def not spending that much on a skin. By time I get done w the quest (only on 2nd) part I’ll have a day or two. N Just like I havnt bought half the biuldings that r useful for one item then pointless basically cuz they then just give coins which have become pointless I’m def not spending 20. Bucks on a skin. N I think this a problem they still need to address. The clam to coin ratio items. There’s a lot of damn players who spend some money (me) but arnt completion n get every single thing cuz the prices r so over the top n so much stuff is clams. Def need to address it. Now I did buy all the premium characters n very oisses there bearly ever used. Figure I get rewarded for buying them n give u extra chances to get items besides a short little quest. Maybe do that n ppl will spend the clams. But when I know a character/building is never gonna b used again drf makes me think twice. So I think they make a lot more money having tough skins or consela or biuldings have quest to earn stuff. For instance the restaurant u got if u got the tiger crab n peter dactyl. Thought hey maybe this earn me some items later on. But nope. Another building taking up room w low payout of basically worthless coins

I’ll chime in with what everyone else is saying in that this costume should be carried over after comic con. I’m personally not bothered about this one but it is a fan favourite so seems a bit of a harsh move on tinyco’s part but I’m confident they will fix it. They always do.
Maybe if you have finished part 1, maybe 2 it should be allowed to continue past events end. I haven’t even started it so don’t expect any form of extension but for other players who desperately want her it’s a bit unfair.
Overall tinyco has been amazing this event but my one suggestion would be that before another large scale event like this they need more support staff. I understand they have been working like crazy round the clock to help as many people as possible but during a timed events like the past two a quick response is crucial and they just haven’t had the staff to keep up with demand.

Didn’t TinyCo adjust the drop rates so with each time a needed item does not drop, the next chance for a drop increases slightly? What happened with that? Still need three microchips, Felicia still has NEVER dropped one, and I have yet to get one from Mort or Dr. Hartman. This has to be set on epic instead of extra rare, its just as difficult as the time Hartman was not dropping eyeballs. Some adjustment is needed somewhere…

It is very odd. Some have no issue getting them at all. Mine are still dropping from all characters I have sent. Not everytime of course, but they are. Maybe try refreshing your game. Restarting your device. Essentially some basic troubleshooting to see if that helps.

I like that they added Mort and Doc Hartman to the list of people who can farm chips. Now I can set Bonnie free to start on her stripper quest. Problem is, the drop rate for chips is still abysmally low (had none before the change, got one on Mort’s first “scrounge”, nothing since), and, as stated in the post, Stripper Bonnie is effectively impossible to get without spending a ton of clams. King Butt was more reasonable.
My suggestion on Stripper Bonnie? Treat her somewhat like Iron Baby. Continue to tie her (tenuous as it may be) to ComicCon, but if we reach the point where her questline is complete before ComicCon ends (ie: all that is left is to farm items and build the costume), it carries over beyond the event.
I’d suggest the same for Rollocop, but in all honesty, the chips are doable (or else people wouldn’t have already unlocked him), and even if they weren’t, with as many clams as they’re throwing around in this event via the boxes, and as few clams as are needed, this is shaping up to be one worth “paying” for with clams. TinyCo’s loss if it makes people all the less likely to shell out real money to buy clams for Cranston or Fillion…
LikeLike
That should be “as few *chips* as are needed”. 100 clams for 5 chips (or 80 for 4, in my case) is a lot, but is doable. You’ve been going about things the wrong way if you don’t have at least 40-50k in Blam! socked away in preparation for an inevitable last-minute reveal and/or a chance for some extra clams/harpoons to knock out the last few tasks (or unlock Stripper Bonnie, or buy Cranston, etc.).

Indeed, I LOVED this event! And I was much more successful at this one than at the King Butt event (mainly because I JUST started when the previous one began).
But regarding Stripper Bonnie…I completely concur with everything you said in the post. I don’t care if all the items are extra rare, but make it available AFTER comic con. Just let it continue.
I mean, I still have to unlock iron baby and rollercop ffs!

I for one am surprised by this new addition. I mean come on TinyCo…
You’ve done so well this whole event… Don’t mess it up now.
It’s upsetting to be so close to earning everything and then have them toss in an additional money grab at the end.
I spent my remaining clams on Consuela and rushed most of the taskes but now I have to level up Conseula and I’m still not sure that I can completely collect everything needed to get Stripper Bonnie. Heck I even went ahead and bought the special pole for her additional tasks and now I’m thinking if was for not.
But I have faith that TinyCo will come through in the end like they have thus far during this event to insure that I will be buying more Clams for the next event instead of walking away like I have other games that ignore what their customers want.
Oh… It would also be Great if they offered some of the buildings and primeum characters at a discount since they will serve no purpose once the event ends.

Just discovered that I had to collect stuff after completing all of these uninspired Bonnie tasks…game over man. Still baffles me as to why they would release a character this late into the event.

Financial motivations aside, tinyco has simply overloaded their customers with content. It’s time for the product management and creative teams to get on the same page.

Slightly contrary view here. I have had four of five of the extra rare items drop. I did rush to get the thing going but am not rushing the clams now and things are dropping. If they do however extend the time frame or make another change then will they refund the clams I spent to get ahead?
The whole reason to release Bonnie late was I guess to get people to spend clams – especially as they are giving them away through the prize box.
I also don’t want to be left with 95000 Blam, 130 missiles and 60 batteries in the same way that I “lost” butts when the last event ended.

I HIGHLY doubt they’ll refund your clams for rushing. That’s on you, not them…in that case.

I rushed the tasks some & have been collecting items about 20 hours now & have about 40% of what’s needed = 2 1/2 days to get them all + 2 1/2 days of tasks = 5 days to do the quest without using clams. I will admit they are pretty good at calculating minimum times for completing tasks for free & setting the limited events’ duration just beyond that. True in both the pee pants & human Rupert mini events, both of which they ended up extending.
Regardless, it does nothing to get rid of the bad taste this addition leaves in my mouth about the event overall. It’s like reading a really well-written 900 pages of a Steven King novel about an evil clown & getting to the last chapter to find out the source of the evil is a ridiculous giant hairy spider. Or the seemingly inoccuous handicapped boy with a mental gift turning into a super strong alien.
Bad endings can ruin an otherwise excellent piece of work.

My humble opinion….
1. Extend Bonnie’s costume beyond end of event.
2. Make items drop from minion/latcher stewies & buildings or nerds
3. Fix drop rates for blam box and Joe costume. 😦
I have all guns for Joe but barely have gotten any others. Just got stewie yesterday but essentially the event items are already useless as well as some event characters (in completing quests/event related tasks). Not to mention the amount of batteries dropping from blam box and nerds….I would not be able to use them all if I checked my game every 15.

Not sure if anyone said this, and I missed it, or not. But, once you get to part 7 and stripper Bonnie is in Al Harrington’s, she does not have the limited time banner below her. She, and her stripper pole, don’t have red borders in the character and decoration shop tabs. This make me think that you only need to get to part 7 before Monday. This is only an observation, but I hope it is true.

Only have one Microchip left for Rollocop which I’m confident will get before Monday and 3 more Demon Platings to get which I’ll get tomorrow, but this is insane.
What I hope is that the costume will be available to get at Al Harrington’s IF you complete the Hostess with the Mostess quest before Monday. That would make it fair. Complete the quest before the event ends, and have it at Al Harrington’s then to build even after the event ends.

Thank you Alissa this is a perfect example of why I like this blog so much. You and Bunny always seem to stay impartial yet you are players just like us and will call out what’s wrong and bring it to TinyCo’s attention,
I like your 4th suggestion best. Because Stripper Bonnie isn’t tied to Comic Con it makes sense that acquiring her (skin) would continue after the Comic Con event has ended. Perhaps this and a Halloween event could be the in between before opening District 9.
I’m a level 50 player but I don’t want to be greedy, new players have a long way to go and I wouldn’t want them to keep missing out on special event stuff because they are trying to get basic characters. Its one thing if the event occurred before starting their game versus not having the resources to get anything during an event.

I don’t mean for this to sound accusatory, but I am wondering why the negative tone of the article, using terms such as “epic fail” on TinyCo’s part. Did you voice your concerns to TinyCo and received no response or a “We’re not doing anything about it”, or does your comment reflect just the setup for Bonnie? I ask because this situation is similar to the end of the Kingdom of the Full Moon and the Clown Peter costume – this has happened before. To be fair, I think TinyCo has taken some of the lessons after KotFM event to heart – freemium players had a very decent chance of getting 100K for Takei. Not saying that TinyCo is terrible or infalliable, nor am I suggesting that this article is unjustified – just wondering if there was something different happening here.

Nah. It is all in the way or mindset YOU are in when you read it on how you take it. It is mainly pointing out a flaw we see when introducing something like this so close to the end of the game.

We are players too and communicate with them always. We back them up as we can see how hard they try. This was just one thing we just could not stomache happening and saw it as a major flaw in execution. Others felt the same. It was more of a way to let the community know we see it too and are with them as always when something goes wrong, and we will point it out. BUT we will also point out ways to resolve it.

I killed Demon Stewy like 5 times, earned the tentacle but they didn’t count on the ammount needed for unlock the costume, and now this stuff with Boonie =( (Also sad due credit card bills full and no money this month on games, bye Nathan Fillion).

How about create an ability in game which you can train to speed up events without the use of clams Lets say you got a certain amount of tasks to do for some event or other and yet the time constraints force you to use clams in order to complete the quest? Well, have it so that you can collect objects in game which acts sort of like the other events do…
This will not give the player something like a 2 hour dose that just speeds up the task but rather just gives the player a small percentage that increases the speed of the task so instead of say a task taking 10 hours it will instead take 9 hours and a half which will then increase as they progress in this way…
The only way to make this fair on both TinyCo and the player is to make this limited use – so once the player uses it once they’ll have to wait about 2/3 days for the ability to recharge. The player could keep collecting items all the meanwhile – no time constraints put onto the amount of time needed to collect these items but obviously this has to be balanced somehow…
Let’s say Little Timmy collects 5 eyeballs he is rewarded with a 5% speed boost towards his tasks – okay nothing special so far… then he’ll get a 10% speed boost towards his tasks for collecting 7 Soccer balls… then a 15% boost for collecting 11 Beanbags then 20% boost for collecting 15 Soccer Balls and a 35% boost for collecting 20 eyeballs and finally a 50% boost for collecting 25 Beanbags – this therefore gives the players more time for them to complete events without making them wait too long. Plus you’re rewarding the player’s patience for collecting items prior to the event it also gives players with not alot of stuff to do in-game something to do.
OR alternatively
You could make it so that depending on your in-game level it decreases the amount of time you have to wait for tasks say…
10% less for level 20s
15% less for level 25s
20% less for level 30s
25% less for level 40s
least then you’d be motivating players to level faster… I never understood what the leveling system even does in-game there isn’t anything limiting me to get more stuff in game because of my level so I never saw a use for it.
Overall, I did enjoy the event but didn’t much like the fact you were forcing players to unlock Bonnie with an unreasonable time constraint – please either allocate us more time to complete the quest outside of the event or make it so that we can still try to unlock this character during the event by allocating us with more time.
^_^ thanks anyway for the event even though now I’m kind of put off investing much time into the game since I haven’t had much time to myself to do things… like sleep.

I agree with the many who have said the costume has nothing to do with comic con and should stay after the event ends. I have been very pleased with the overall fairness of this event compared to the Full moon one. This would be a very sour note for most to go out on after all the improvements Tinyco has made. Dare I say that this bonnie costume feels like a cash grab?

I can see them rolling out a Stewie blam box and making the items available there like they did for iron baby. They might have already planned on this. 58 hours is a long time to start collecting items witht the time left in the event. By the time her questline is over though we should know if they are going to give us another blam box or if we should put all our leftovers into this one hoping for clams to speed up her tasks. I got Joe yesterday so I’m right where I should be during this event. We’ll see if I can get Bonnie too.

They’ll extend it. In fact, I’m not even thinking twice about it. I know they will. So don’t worry all. Just wait and watch. 😛 #confidentkc

I’m sure that they have more up there sleeve. Still only on chapter 6 of 7, another weekend ahead. Surprises seem to be what TinyCo does best, listening to their players is another thing I think they seem to do well to. So I’m holding further judgment till I see what else they have in store. Till then I will be grinding away with my timers waking me up all night…

I agree with your points. Up to now, I still have yet to complete Iron Stewie and Robo Joe. Robo joe was supposed to be a “gift” for the delay of the update on android but it is so hard to get all the items. And now they introduce one new character to be completed in such a short time?!
Like you said, it really leaves a bad taste after an engaging few weeks… And I hope they can extend it beyond comic con.

Definately see your point, and agree on the “what does this have to do with comicon?” front, but certainly feel the abdundance of greatness this event has brought outweighs little stuff. I have had the game a long while, was onboard for the duration of the pyramid event (in which, short of not sleeping, it was excessively more difficult to reach the target objectives…I missed a bunch), and feel this is a HUGE improvement over the last event. Now I’d love to have Cranston (have been debating grabbing NF), and have ample clams saved up (not enough for BC, though:/), but choose not to. Stuff I miss, I miss. I don’t have to like it, but so far the things I’ve wanted most in the game I’ve managed to get. While I can understand many peoples frustration, I’m simply thankful for a great little free game that I’m crazy about and keeps getting better (or my addiction is running deeper;)). I’ll be trying my best to get the skin, though certainly any of the options listed above as solutions to those players feeling robbed would be more than acceptable. In the end, whether I manage to get stripper Bonnie or not will not affect my tremendous enjoyment of this game, or sour my experience on what has been a tremendous event. If you bothered to read all this, thanks for perusing my rant;) and once more, thanks to the fine folks who make this site so great. Hope all had a great labour day weekend:)

I seem to be the only one who didn’t have trouble getting Rollocop. I finally ended up spending 20 clams to get the last chip for him though, because I was worried I wouldnt have enough time to complete his questline.
I’m extremely disheartened to hear that getting Stripper Bonnie is nigh impossible. I’d much rather her not be associated with comicon, and have unlimited time to unlock her.

I actually didn’t have any real problem getting Rollocop either. The tires were more of a challenge to me than the chips, though I did go a couple days without getting either. Didn’t have to spend a single clam on him either, had him unlocked earlier today.

Great event until this. I am a freemium player and got the nothing suspicious factory this morning and turbo stewie as well but I really want takei. I am hoping for 15000 blam im 5 days but it may not happen. Otherwise good job
I also missed the Rupert quest because I was on vacation wondering if he would be added later.
Ps the next event should be Star Wars

You think this event was expensive?
A Star Wars crossover would involve a very, VERY large check to Disney, if they as the new owners of the franchise would be even willing to allow it. They would probably have to introduce Space Clams, which would cost twice as much for half as many.
and EVERYTHING would cost space clams…
