Don’t PANIC over the Christmas Cookies. I will post more info on how that all will translate after I talk with them some more. 😉
Just to give you all the nice warm fuzzies and to CALM YOUR HORSES!!! Lol. Giggity. I just confirmed…for the… I dunno how many times now… with my dear patient friend that tolerates me over at TinyCo (you know I adore yah guys)… COOKIES WILL BE BACK!!! AGAIN…COOKIES WILL BE BACK??!! COOKIES WILL BE BACK FOR NEW YEAR!!! 😛
There…everyone happy now??!! Torches and Pitchforks down???!! K… now you all go play nice while I disappear into the dark of the night. SEE YA NEXT YEAR!!!
Hey there Clammers!
So, 3pm PST and Miracle on Spooner Street has come to a close. What now? Well, there a few things that WILL continue, the rest is now in the Christmas Past. Lol
Here is a breakdown of what YOU might expect to see in your game…
First you will get that usual Pop Up… “Event Ended…restart device…”
Once you go through the process, you will come back to a no more snow fallin Quahog (though still some on the ground) and an empty Event Area.
Due to the Event Area is now empty, if anyone was battling the Yeti… they will be out wandering around as he is gone.
If you were working on Babs or Jasper at the Train Station, since that is gone too… you will no longer see either one or be able to get either Character. They are gone with the Event if not completely unlocked and in your game as playable Characters.
Holiday Christmas Cookies. These will hang around town in preparation for use on the next Event. (Nothing on that for now. We will post when it arrives. Most likely at least a day away…you know…the New Year.)
Buildings/ Vehicles that dropped Event items will no longer drop them anymore. This includes the facades or “skins” on the Houses and Buildings for Christmas Decorations.
Characters will no longer drop any Event items or Materials. Also the Reindeer, Shoppers, and Snowman will be all gone. (I am gonna miss them. Wish I could have kept one of each. 😦 ) Anyone going after Snowmen or Reindeer… will end up just wandering around.
Now for what MANY of you were wondering on the Character Tasks…what stays and what goes?
If all went as planned…these ones SHOULD go on. Keep in mind though…SEVERAL you needed to have PASSED a specific questline point/part in order for it to go on. If you did not, it will go away and won’t continue. Again, some may still not pull through after the event, but this is what we hope stuck around as planned. Lol. Let us know what you see.
Jasper: Jasper Visits Part 4-6
John McClane: Happy Trails Part 3-8
Jingle Joe: Hustle and Bustle Part 1-5
Barbara (Babs): Five Golden Rings Part 3-5
Hanukkah Mort: A Very Jewish Christmas Part 1-3
Puppy Brian: Young Dog, Old Tricks Part 2-5
Elf Peter: Elf Too Fat for a Shelf Part 1
That about does it. So sit back, relax, take a little break for the night. Have fun. Be safe….and…WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!! 😛

Not too worried about the cookies or stockings. What I am more concerned with, and have already contacted Tinyco through support for, is that Gene, Jesus and John are missing from my Quahog.

I unlocked all the characters I even had santa before the last weekly challenge hit me – get santa in 4 days? How about 0? xD
I dunno how anyone could be having trouble getting the first few characters – they were easy, it was jesus and angel bruce I was having trouble with – mainly cos jesus required 100 of those yeti stockings and on top of that you had to do a balancing act to both defeat the yeti and collect items for bruce so it was tricky for me to get him but i managed to after i quit bugging the yeti, after the event ended i was left with 90k cookies which i had no idea what to do with… i already unlocked all the buildings and had nothing else to spend it on: if you ask me the event was pretty easy – I didn’t really need to spend much time on it and yes: I even had time to spend with my family on christmas =P
I guess they must have been too busy to check their phone now and again.

I was really disappointed on how this event ended. It just kind of dampered my whole day. Tinyco really should have followed the Halloween wrap up protocol to rid of all the items we worked hard to earn. The only good thing about this event was the awesome amount of clams dropped. Thank you Tinyco.

Can they make all these events anymore confusing? Seriously if we need to scour the internet to understand an app game the developers need to review their game design. What’s the point of having characters, like Vinny, that just get in the way and end up being hidden. No point trying to earn something that adds no value to the game. KISS characters should have been introduced separate to Christmas.
Some of the items are just clutter and not even scaled to make sense (tiny items get lost, huge ones take up too much space). With limited real estate each event like this fills up land quick. They should look at TSTO for longevity and incremental activities without overwhelming/confusing otherwise given my game is already 2.84Gb(!) in size people are going to give up and free up space for other games.
LikeLike
I just have to giggle a lil at this…I saw pretty much the SAME comment…reversed…over on TSTO. I honestly think it comes down to the style of game itself and whether or not it fits into the players style of what they like and are used to. 🙂

4 hours when we are in Daylight Savings time on the East Coast, otherwise it’s 3 hours.
I was thinking if the Ball dropped it would be for midnight tonight, so nothing happening tonight, so I’m going to set my characters off on longer errands instead of them popping up every hour.
PS I got Brian today, and went to my inventory and created the small puppy Brian, did the first quest before the event ended and now it’s still open for me to finish them off 🙂
Now working on the Asians and I’m glad I found out so I can get all of my workers building some of the buildings that I need for that.

I’m sorry, but I just have to say something. Our hosts here spend a lot of time and energy writing up information for us, and it strikes me as really insulting to them when so many people can’t be bothered to take a minute to READ what they’ve posted.

they won… I finally spent real money on this game (& not earned gift cards from watching ad websites, etc). I just had to get Jesus (he gives clams! it was an investment!). So they’re happy… I’m happy… but if it was all that effort with the yetti to get kiss or something. forget it. I also got the die hard guy to help with the yetti. while it probably would have been cheaper to get the building to get the snoflake stockings than it was to get bruce willis & to speed up attacking the yetti & to keep the yetti going… in the end I’m glad with my choices. can’t say that about past events. My dad had me watch Die Hard on his lap as a kid. so now when I play the game those memories come back. that’s a christmas present from TinyCo!
but I actually got most of the items this time! it was actually doable for freemium. granted, I spent a LOT more time on this than I had planned & gave up my progress on TSTO for it (missed their nativity… grr) but overall, not too bad.
