Affection Meter Changes: You Asked, TinyCo Responded

Hello There Clammers!

Well you all certainly had your share of feedback for TinyCo today!  And as always we shared your feedback/concerns with TinyCo…and they responded in a big way today!

They’ve changed up the Affection Meter!  Now you can preview what side will earn what prize..this should help you decide which hearts to collect before the next prize unlocks!

2015-02-11 00.39.30

*Note: Currently the remaining prizes are locked.  Which means we don’t know what they do, if they’re animated, what they earn or anything else about them.  We won’t know until they’re in the game.  🙂

This has been a popular request with a lot of you..so now you should know which path you want to take for the remaining prizes!  This should help collect hearts in the right direction.

And yes…we’ll continue to break each prize down, once they’re released into the game.

What do you think of the Affection Meter Change?  What about the remaining prizes?  Which path will you follow?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

  4. Sorry if I missed this somewhere (I did look, first), but can anyone confirm any details about Lois’s prize (Big Mouthed Girlfriend Dolls vs. Kool-Aid Man’s Girlfriend)? Are they both just unanimated decos? Or does the girlfriend roam around town like so many others? TIA!

  7. Just a tip: I’m on Central time and the couples seem to spawn at 3, 6, 9, 12 AM and PM. So it’s not necessarily 3 hours from the last time you log on, just every 3 hours based on those times (adjusted to your time zone of course). This is why it seems like couples spawn more often sometimes. For example if I log on at 8 AM I’ll see my first couples(from 6 AM). If I log in again at 9 AM I’ll see the next set of couples.

  8. Why is the insane asylum one of the prizes? They offered that in the game some months ago. I already have it. Will they give us a second one if we go for the hate prize? Or a substitution? I don’t really want another asylum, so I’ll go for the love prize. But it is kind of strange that they offer something some of us already have.

  10. Like a lot of other people here, I really like that Tinyco have given us the opportunity to decide which love / hate prize to choose from. I’m a little disappointed that they automatically forced us to take the Joe prize before we could choose which we wanted to go for though. Kinda feels like we were cheated out of a chance at the liquor store for a useless carnival ride.

  11. One thing TinyCo could have done with the bug problem was reset everybody back to zero. Having push people back to 74 Hearts without explaining in game is just as bad as the bug. Players didn’t know the prizes or their cost at that point, so TinyCo’s solution was poorly thought out.

    • I think it was a cunning strategy.
      This keeps everyone on an even keel. We are all basically starting from the same place. The lower level players will have an opportunity to catch up AND we premium/original players will just have to ‘catch up’ to them, LOL
      So we get set back a bit (those who chose to backtrack and get the Bar) . Big Deal, we actually have to work a little harder. Maybe we’ll have to focus on getting that prize instead of whinging that we’re done and booorrrreed LOL

  12. I am so glad they did this! Now I know I should go with hate instead for the last 2 buildings. I’d much rather have buildings to decorations, unless it’s a really cool decoration but in Joe’s case it wasn’t (for me anyway). I accidently clicked the check over Arnold’s head and got the one red heart needed and automatically got the bumper cars. But I’ll get over it eventually 😄 thanks TinyCo and of course thank you Bunny and Alissa for the update!

  13. Did tinyco change how often the pda couples appear? Seems like they are appearing sooner than every 3 hours

    • Nope, still should be 3hrs.

      Like

      • I’m not sure if my rationale is true or not, but I noticed there is a change in the timer (2 hours vs 3 hours). When Lois’s prize unlocked, those of you working toward Lois are on a 3 hour timer. I was still working on Joe (I did a double take to get the liquor store).. so when Lois’ prize was unlocked my timer switched to 2 hours. Once I “caught up” with Joe’s prize, my timer switched back to 3 hours. It could have been a fluke, but thanks to the handy dandy timer in the bottom right corner I’m 100% sure my timer was on a 2 hour respawn (at least for this morning, I don’t think I was last night but I haven’t been paying attention) until I got Joe’s liquor store.

  18. Like everyone else, I was collecting the love hearts in between since they were going to eventually lead to Hot Meg (even though I started collecting the hate hearts for the first prizes because I liked those more) and now I’m starting the slow slog back to the other side for the Joe prize. I might have to start setting my alarm for every 3 hours so I can collect them as often as possible.

    Also, it’s weird to me that the couple disappear if you collect all the “love” ones, but not all the “hate” ones…

    • Remember…you can’t collect hearts now for Hot Meg. Each time you claim a prize the counter resets. And you have to claim all of the prizes above to get Hot Meg.

      • well, you sort of can alissa. The fast you obtain the other prizes, the sooner you can start on hot meg. If you already have what you need for the second to last prize, then you can start instantly on meg once she becomes available, instead of still be working on the previous prize. Maybe that will be redundant, but its better to be safe than sorry. I have noticed however, that my hearts went backwards. I reached 100, and then all of the sudden (while waiting for the third prize to unlock) I went backwards, back to 74, and had to reclaim the lost 26. Not sure why that happened, but makes me think there may be consequences to over achieving? ……..

  19. I was losing interest in this game and this event is the last straw for me. Doesn’t matter when I tap the PDA couples, I get whatever heart the game feels like giving me. I wait to tap them when hearts are coming out of them and I still get broken hearts half the time. I haven’t collected one prize because my heart meter never gets more than two hearts in one direction or another. Plus you only get a few minutes until they leave so you’re rushing. Such a stupid concept. Plus, as always, there is so much going on at once, too many overlapping tasks… ugh. I’m done spending money on it. This game tries too hard and demands more attention than I can afford to give it. Still, thanks for all your effort and helping with the game and making it more enjoyable!

    • Remember both couples end up with hearts — you need to look at their colour, or at the dip/slap animations. Zooming in can help a lot.

    • I have decided to limit quahog to 1 block during this event. It makes it easier to keep up with the couples and you have time to see which is which. I also am focusing on just the V day event. I can get back to everything else later. Just try focusing on one thing at a time. The game should be fun, not frustrating.

  21. I totally agree with Andy. I had over 74 love hearts before Joe’s prize went live. I would have liked the option to dump them once the prizes were revealed. TinyCo set it to 74 because of their bug. I’m not a decor fan right now. So things that earn add value for me. Now I have to get 150 hate hearts to get what I would like. If the PDA couples are going to show up between prizes automatically even though their locked. Just reveal what they are ahead of time Ike then please.

    even though its too late to help me with this round. I had 74 Love hearts when I saw that Joe’s hate prize was better (what’s Quahog without a liquor store?)
    About half way finished erasing the love hearts, so 1/4 done earning the liquors store. Hope this doesn’t keep me from getting Hot Meg…

    Well I’m actually pretty Happy about the opportunity to get the insane asylum so if they change it now I’d be pretty upset XD I’m glad they put something returning in for players who couldn’t get it before. I just can’t believe the amount of complaining tbh, it’s a game and when tinyco try and make some people happy obvs they will upset others so maybe stop being selfish and get over ? 😛 I think they’re being very accommodating.

    • I would agree with you but tiny Co makes a lot of mistakes with this game. for making as much money as they are, they don’t have much of an excuse for many of the ammature steps they take. They would benefit from having a test version for top players (often called a beta version). Many of the mistakes made are easily avoidable

        • No, Mark has the correct understanding.. the test should be before the general public not midway through installments of am event. if they were testing their product they wouldn’t be making as many changes as they have to do “based on consumer feedback”. The complaints would be cut by 3/4 if they were prepared for these “stumbles”. I love the game and recognize that there’s a lot of work involved.. but I see how easily these simple mistakes could be avoided is all… and I know most posters on here complaining will have the same sentiments. They wouldn’t post if they didn’t love the game.

  31. I commented earlier but forgot a couple things. 1: Yes I completely agree about switching the the voodoo and asylum prizes as i also already do have the asylum as well. Understand some people might not so if it happens, they might dislike the change, should it happen, on having to choose between hot meg and a building they dont have. Either way, some people will ultimately end up un-happy. 2: The number of love/broken hearts needed for each prize would be nice to know also. Ive only seen it once and that was when this event first started. Then disappeared after the first prize was obtained, unless im missing it somewhere. The first heart prize was 15. The second im not sure what the count needed was(thinking 50?) cause i completely forget what i was at. But now we know, much thanks to Bunny and Alissa, Joes prize is 75 hearts. The heart count needed would be very nice to know. That way we arent just tap, tap, tap, tapping away hoping the next tap is the one or not. More land to open would be nice also since buildings/decos are starting to build up again.

  33. The change is nice. But now I have 48/75 love hearts for a deco(bumper cars) versus a building that could very well be useful in the future for quests/events/ect. Kept collecting love hearts after the last prize cause i figured those prizes would be better. Maybe they are for some people. But i prefer items that reward something. Except for rare occasions. Since there is no timer on which you have to collect the prizes by, other than by the 26th, i may reverse course now and attempt to get the liquor store.
