  1. I’ve just got to comment on how right Tinyco got it on this event. From the very outset giving premium and reward characters a purpose to this release making Freddy a free character & setting up a bomb & trap exchange, every little criticism I had about comic con has been addressed to perfection. It’s almost like the game developers are reading this silly lil blog (wink, wink).

    So long as they don’t go dropping a stripper Bonnie faux pax on us (although a Transformer Chris could be justified) I will definitely give this one a 10 when the poll comes out.

    & once again, excellent work walking us through this “nightmare” Bunny & Alissa.

  4. What the hell Tinyco! Giving us a character we all thought would be premium for free? What kind of game are they trying to play? 🙂 In all seriousness, does anyone else feel as though they’re lulling us into a false sense of security with these prizes? Most frequent players probably have enough to craft everything already. I’m wondering if something else is in the pipeline for before the event ends.

    Like

  5. Already have Freddy cleared and the Ecto-1 secured; if you craft the three items, you have three options for the fourth item:
    Option 1, complete the 4-hour task that requires both Peter and Quagmire (and get disappointed by the animation [/spoiler])
    Option 2. start the aforementioned task, spend 24 clams and get it over with
    Option 3, spend TEN clams at Freddy to skip it just as fast as 2.

    Overall though, the event has been pretty well-executed, and in good humor; can’t wait for the next one, as well as to find out if Stewie ever gets his plutonium

    Addicts, keep up the fine work.

You just have to wait til you have enough for the other 2 rockets or are close enough you can get there within 24 hours. Dont go shooting your load off the second you got it basically. I had 60 purple rockets while switchin between red and blue a couple times so it was really easy. I hit him like 5 times yesterday.

  20. So glad they gave us a bit of a break with this weeks update. Hoping that they possibly give us one more update. Would be nice to have a lake and cabin for Jason and the Elm Street house for Freddy. Glad that they are allowing us to convert some stuff to make vials. It was also good that they added a category for the Halloween characters that give 100 clams for having all 4. All in all enjoying the Halloween event. Only 5700 vial left to go to get the bunch of bats and sexy witch Connie and that will complete everything released so far.

    One a funny note, has anyone noticed the action for Peter and Quagmire “Crossing Streams” task. Just have a look for them. Quite good LOL.

  21. Love that you can trade bombs and traps you definitely get more vials that way but I saved a few traps incase they latch on to a building I’m using also I will save my rockets I think I can earn way more from stay puft man I’m going to save as many rockets as I can over the next week and bomb him alot the night before hopefully to get the remaining items in the cauldron

    • Actualoy the vials for thetraps is 75 the same amount you get for the leacher (only difference is the added decoration) as for the stink bombs that does seem to be a good trade. I’ve asked tiny co to add the option to opt in to earn clams for watching ads (thus far I’ve gotten no response yet) I hope some of you out there will suggest the same so that people with time but not alot of money will be able to afford some more premimum items (I missed out on Alien and Predater cause I can’t come up with the cash to buy clams) On a somewhat related note (most of you probably aren’t in this situation) I literally have NO friends that play this game meaning events, task and Ollieville are mynonly chance to get clams (just saying it would be nice to get some from watching ads) they’d get money from the ad agency while I’d get my clams and by using an opt in option no one who didn’t want to watch any ad’s would ever be bothered to do so.

    • You get the exact same payout trading a trap as you would using it. 3 bombs for only 100 vials ? Guess it’s ok if you struggle getting kids lined up. And there’s no way you can outdo the results of the stay puff multiplier by trading them. I mean I guess it’s cool they allow you to trade items for the exact same or less vials but I’m disappointed. The crowd called out for vials to get Mr Weed and they came out with a way to get less. Underwhelmed. Mr Weed is going to be a stretch but I might make it. Apart from the paltry vial payout the event has been grat so far.

      Like

  22. Has anyone done the math on whether it’s better to bomb stay puft or trade rockets for vials? I really need vials! I have 975 or so and I’m about to get 1,500 more when I bomb Stay Puft for what will probably be the last consecutive time. I want to get Mr Weed, Connie’s costume, and Freddy (haven’t started him of course). I think I’m going to try for Mr Weed and end up buying Connie’s costume instead during the last few hours of the event.

    I’ll be happy to see this end, as I’m in the middle of trying to find the stolen plutonium to unlock district 9, but I’ve enjoyed it. Most of the time, I don’t have a fighting chance in special events, but now that Ive unlocked most of the characters it’s a lot more fun

    • Just got enough to unlock him via my last Stay Puft kill. Should have the 3000 more to get Freddy within a day or so. Already have the ingredients to unlock him (no Banshees, woohoo!). If I’m lucky the next bomb requirement will be the one I have 25 of. The kicker is going to be the 5000 vials and the Banshee Tears for Witch Connie. Everything else would be gravy. Got plenty of Goop already, so before too long I should have enough that it will be more feasible to ignore Stay Puft and turn rockets directly into vials.

      • But it’s like you only read every 3rd word, sir. They aren’t giving us the ability to turn the extra harpoons and bombs into something … this is the equivalent of letting us turn the harpoons INTO the bombs … oh and btw, it’s at the point where everyone was innundated with bombs and missing harpoons.
        But hey, keep dismissing people on the internet as whiners without reading. That’s gonna work out for you.

        Like

      • OK let me try this again since my first response may have not posted as too snarky …

        Please don’t immediately dismiss an indication of a poor game mechanic as “whining”. Your analogy doesn’t hold up, because this isn’t the equivalent of turning harpoons & bombs into something useful; this is turning harpoons INTO bombs; and as a cursory review of the replies to all of the Halloween posts would tell you … it’s turning the resource everyone has into the resource several people are lacking. It’s very frustrating to have someone read a comment as a “complaint” and not actually READ the comment properly. You’re being just as overly generic and whiny as you accuse me of being by not giving the post any value. That’s internet troll 101.

        #s for game play on any decently designed game should not be arbitrarily designed. There are entire college courses devoted to game design and/or game balance (I am auditing one from MIT’s online courses now), and as much as I appreciate TinyCo’s customer services efforts, the real answer here is that they should be testing this stuff before releasing it. “Well, we have 5 different resources, and people say they have leftovers, so let’s let them turn X into Y” is sloppy. They should recognize that X is the one that people need, not Y, and that Z and Q are the ones that are in surplus.

        Bottom line: The conversion offer doesn’t help those of us who didn’t spend clams. It’s a tease. I haven’t done the precise, but I’d be willing to guess that I have all of the ingredients needed to brew EVERY cauldron item that I’m missing, but need thousands and thousands of Vials. I have 4 or 5 people doing nothing but Balloons; I have the only 2 people I can making Traps. Yet I’ve needed them (particularly the Traps, since they’ve repeated the mistake from ComicCon of letting the Latchers trap people inside buildings)/

        My apologies to Bunny et al if this conversation is giving them any aggravation. However, I’m not a random whining denizen of the internet; I don’t “complain” without some forethought.

  39. As I had plenty of items and vials, the Freddy challenge was easy, so I decided to splash on 10 Clams and skip the streams (I’ll be making 10 clams back via the Fright Level Upgrade soon), so that is all 5 challenges done and 1 shiny Ecto-1 in my possession.

    For me, now it’s just a case of getting some more vials to get the remaining items left in my cauldron, mainly Connie’s outfit, Stay Puft and Alien Queen. Any other item is a bonus, but with about 8 days to collect up, I think I should be good.

    Also, the vial brewing option seems ok, though I’d probably say keep rockets on Stay Puft, swap bombs for vials as the pay-off is better (at least in comparison to my average for the kids), and traps have a similar drop for vials. Should be a good final few days.
