UPDATE BUNNY 2pm EST 1/9/15: Just verified from TinyCo a patch has been pushed to resolve the issue with Peter and Lois and the item drops. Please let us know if things are back to normal in your games. 😉
UPDATE BUNNY: I just ran the questline again myself, after Peter and Lois finish their tasks, they go away during the questline. I have already reported this to TinyCo and verifying if it was as intended. Just tasks for only the questline. In the meantime, try not to complete those tasks until you have all you need for Jillian.
Hello There Clammers!

Lois’ task has returned, but still no Peter. All I have is Chris to get Chokers, that’s what the item is called btw. I have 2 already, so its going to be a challenge to get the last 3.

They’ve been hard to come by for me too, but the black necklaces were acquired rather quickly (1 day!) and that was without my cemeteries. But I’m not too worried about it because I figure by the time I finally get the other common items that have a high count requirement and long wait times, those bracelets will have been long ago gotten.

I don’t believe anyone should get too upset about certain tasks disappearing. I mean it can be done easily. It’s January 9th at 1032am as I post this…I have 7 shoes with 7 more opportunities just today and then 10 or 11 shots every other day through the 15th, that’s a lot.
As for rest I have 9 lip gloss, 3 braclets and 1 dog collar and with the dog collar just using Chris if you can check it every two hours that is 8 or 9 chances a day and between now and the 15th that is 30-40 chances…that’s a lot. Even at extra rare rate of 10-20 percent, you shoudl get them. Hang in their fellow addicts.

I’m seeing the same loss of tasks. No pitchforks and torches, but I’m keeping a rusty teaspoon and a glowstick in reserve. 🙂 Still, it’s not like I actually *need* Jillian’s extra outfit, it’s not that likely to be used in future tasks. So not a biggie, but a fix would be nice.
And thanks for looking into this!

Keep calm everyone! Tiny Co is really good at listening to our feedback and its not like the event ends tonight. We will all be ok 🙂
Besides it really does seem like a glitch to me, not something they did with bad intentions. I say this bec everyones tasks seem to be disappearing at different times (based on all these posts).
For me i have not even completed part ONE of the main quest-line (im ignoring Lois 5 hr task for now) but just ramdomly overnight Lois has lost her item dropping task. Peter however is still dancing away to get those necklaces!
So yeah. Based on what im reading on here, the disappearances seem pretty random
LikeLike
Oh and another little piece of glitchy evidence… When i just woke up at 6am to do my 4 hour tasks again (after setting them around 2am) i noticed Lois was not even IN the biulding i left her in. Thrift Shop i believe it is. She was just walking around town. Like the task poofed away randomly overnight so she got kicked out of the shop on her own.
Now. On the other hand. In my 2am sleepy stooper maybe i did NOT set her like i thought. Lol. But i can safely say im 90 percent confident i did. The other 10 perecent…well… 😉

I’m almost positive it must be a glitch, they’ve been pretty fair up to now. I don’t think they would just yank a couple of tasks randomly to vex us.

Don’t know if it helps or not but, i’m on Android, I’m at mid New Year, New Lies Part.1 (Party Tent Done, Peter Drunk Dance Done and Lois Making the Rounds Ongoing) and Lois as lost her hability to drop Bracelets, but Peter is still collecting for Necklaces…I will try not to tape Lois after her task is done but not sure of the result as Peter and Lois are performing their tasks in the same building…

My counter thing for items I’m collecting for Jillian’s New Years outfit is not working. I have collected well over 5 bracelets and it still says I have 0! I’m getting a little frustrated. I tried to contact TinyCo but they haven’t responded. I think because I wasn’t able to “start a new conversation” because I had a crashing error that they were working on. The conversation is still open. I tried to just notify them through the the same conversation but I don’t know if it will get fixed. Ideas?

If you’re having crashing issues, that may impact your game saving your progress. All I can suggest is some things I try to help with crashing. Outside that, you’ll have to see what they can do.

Anyone else think that only having a 12 hour extra rare task for the black necklace if you are freemium is bullcrap? I mean that’s pretty much like the same “haha you can’t get this unless you spend your clams”

LikeLike
It’s not dropping for me at all.

My situation is a bit different.
On Android, I haven’t finished New Year, New Lies Pt. 1, yet Lois’ task no longer gets bracelets while Peter can still get necklaces. There seems to be no correlation between Lois’ change and the questline in my game.
This is surely an error in the code brought by the last update rather than an intentional change. The game designers or, more likely, the marketing pinheads, must have learned that they can change a challenge to become easier, but they can’t change it to become harder to increase revenue.
So, everyone just send an ingame message and if you feel necessary, suggest a solution to counter the time lost such as granting an extension.
I love that the Halloween Pet Cemetary drops necklaces which suggests that we’re grave robbing dead animals for their choker collars!

In the meantime, try not to complete those tasks until you have all you need for Jillian. – this seems tough to do – since putting peter on dance task to get necklaces will also complete his task. I’ve lost Lois and peters ability to get items – who knows if I’ll get jillians red dress…

Ok seriously I feel bad for Bunny and Alyssa. Does no one ever bother to read previous comments before posting their own comments/complaints.

If you don’t find your answer then make a comment.

The reason we all seem to post similar replies (seemingly without bothering to read anyone else’s reply) is that most/all (I honestly don’t know if this is true for everyone) of us must have our comments officially approved before they show up here. I’m sure whoever does the approving does it all at once whenever they have time, so typically a lot of comments saying similar things about a new bug will be approved all at once. When I posted, for instance, it did not look like anyone else had said anything about the task problem. I was unable to see anyone else’s comments about the subject because they had not yet been approved.

I think a discussion forum format with topics and threads would perhaps help with this regards. If there is a thread with a subject like “Disappearing Tasks”, then that would direct people with the same issue to that topic/thread, thereby reducing the repetitive posts by both users and admins. It would just be more organized than the blog comment format. Bunny and Alyssa… any chance a forum discussion could be implemented on your site?

I know you’re already looking into it, but if TinyCo intended for those tasks to no longer drop I have to say it’s pretty crappy of them. The drop rates as of now are already bad (and I never complain about that), but to lose two tasks to get those “extra rare” items really does seem like they just want to force people to spend money to get these (barring a bug). This is coming from someone who’s made it a point to get every character and costume up to this event.

The fact that the only way to get items is if you don’t do the actual quest is a bit of a fail. This makes no sense. I’ve worked since last night like a little bit before it was told on facebook. I have only gotten the shoes 4 times! And they are suppose to common. 1 necklace, 0 rings and 2 of the other. I have to say this seems out of reason.
