What did you think of the event? Did you unlock Spanish Soap Opera Peter? Which decorations/buildings did you add to your town? Where did you place them? Are you ready for Star Trek tomorrow?! Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Family Guy Addicts 
Why can’t you allow people to purchase characters, costumes and buildings from past events for large sums of cash? I have over 1m coins and have zero things left to buy? I’m sure I ain’t the only one! All land expansions done, items bought! The game needs more high value items to collect for!! Also last two events Spanish soap and valentines have been too short with not enough to complete tasks! new ideas to keep things fresh! Only my opinion! Thanks

15 minutes before the event was set to end, I set the Spanish Soap Peter skin to create. It was supposed to take 5 minutes. When I got back on the game hours later, he was gone. Did I have to have to create the skin and tap the check mark to keep it? I feel like I earned it, I just hadn’t tapped the check over Al’s before the event ended.

He has to be live in your game. Message TinyCo from your game and see if they can help. Let them know he was creating and disappeared.

Since playing the game avidly since mid-October, Telanovela weekend has been the first glaringly disappointing update I’ve played in this game. The updates to the challenges to make them more “manageable” came too late to make enough difference. I hope the Star Trek update and future short term updates are better thought out. If challenges are only to be 5-6 days long, needed items maybe should not be SO rare or time consuming.

The game did NOT give us anywhere near enough time to complete the tasks necessary to get soap opera Peter. I had 14 pinata bats ready to go but the game didn’t provide the pinatas often enough to use them, such BS. I busted every pinata the game gave me up until the deadline and I still couldn’t complete the bust 50 pinatas task or get Peter. Tinyco really should consider an extension.
LikeLike
Feh, BARELY made it for SSOP, because of the piñata locked characters. No clams spent, so I don’t have any real reason to complain. BUT, I hope that the Tiny Commanding Officer learns from his mistakes – I can forgive this once, but not again. Unfortunately, they typically have roll out problems and errors in freemium timing. I hereby formerly suggest that they let the Addicts crew alpha test the **** events, and I hereby offer my services for arithmetic. Lessons or checking, up to them.

Exactly how mine ended. We should be allowed to finish the story line if we get the character/skin before the deadline. It’s ridiculous to leave us hanging in the middle of a story. Then again, most stories never seem to end properly. They just seem to end and the dialogue never really feels like they’re saying “We’re done here, move along.”

Only needed 1 more moustache but sending everyone on the tasks to get them would have completed after the event ended, fortunately I managed to get 5 clams from Ollie land over the last five days so spent them and got the 25 clams payout for completing the set.

I’m thoroughly unimpressed with this event, not only in the extremely poor planning and execution, but also in the decision to run it on St. Patrick’s Day.
I know they lowered the candy requirement in the end, but there’s really no excuse for how far off the requirements were from what was actually achievable, especially since those candy drops would have taken TWICE as long if the stick timer had worked as intended. It’s just baffling to me how they thought that was going to work.

As it did not work properly once live…. we really can’t say exactly how it would have played out. 😉

According to what I saw in the game and read from the initial post which outlined the challenge on this site, the purpose of the timer was to give people an extra whack at a piñata every four hours as it powered up. The spawn rate of the piñatas was unchanged (one every two hours). The timer had nothing to do with the spawn rate. If anything, we would have been even MORE backed up with blindfolds and nothing to use them on since every four hours you would have powered up to a whack and wouldn’t have had to use a collected blindfold. They traded out an “uncommon” drop from Seamus every four hours in exchange for the “broken” four-hour timer. You called it — the challenge was just like Latcher Stewie where the timer gave us an additional opportunity to knock off the latcher in addition to collecting batteries. But in that ComicCon event, the Latcher Stewies were plentiful and we were scrambling to collect batteries and grateful when that power up was banked. The spawn rate in this event was seriously flawed timer or no timer. While the event would not have taken twice as long, it wouldn’t have run any quicker and we all would have even more blindfolds collecting dust. I like the concept of the latchers and collecting items to defeat it, but the math on this one was flawed from the outset. It was great to have an additional chance at the items we were collecting for characters/skins in ComicCon as opposed to the sole goal of the event as this one was. This can’t be denied — the math on this was seriously flawed (60+ piñatas over five days while needing 55 candies with something less than an “always” drop) but eventually they got it right so at least people could reach the goal. I would like to see them bring the concept back in the future — but with the bugs of the timer worked out and proper math.

I get what you are saying. I just see things from a lil different point of view. There was an issue with the latchers too. So my opinion on this is that the idea they had for the ENTIRE run of the event would have given players a chance… time and effort put in… but a chance to get him free. But… the timer didn’t function, then Latchers stopped… and a trickle down impact began. Had the timer worked, the latchers spawned correctly, they only would have to do what they usually do… up the drops/latchers in the last few days. It seems to be their “thing” to start doubling up at the end. Always works out that way.
Since the items didn’t flow right, domino effect, the only option really left at the end to correct it and NOT use the items not working… change the requirements. I was able to get 45 Candies and prob would have got closer to 55 by the end, glitch aside. So I do see that this one could have worked out as originally planned.
Those are my thoughts on it. 😉
LikeLike
Respectfully Bunny, I am going to disagree, knowing full well that you have information that I will never have. If the plan was to increase spawn rates as the event neared the end, then why didn’t they? Was the whole thing so broken that they couldn’t do anything with that they intended? Had they changed the spawn rate to one per hour or one per 90 minutes, I think a lot of people would have made it based on the 750+ responses in the other post and made it a lot of fun. I stopped collecting blindfolds Monday when I had 30 banked and only 48 hours remained to the event and I could only use 24 max. I knew I could resume collecting if something changed but I was at 30 or so candies so I would have been covered. TinyCo kinda got caught with its pants down on this one (1) the event didn’t go out Thursday (maybe it wasn’t intended to, but that would have given the event extra hours and more spawns and given more validity to the math), (2) the latchers didn’t work properly (not something I saw in my game but I was late to the party because of when it was released so it may have been fixed when I started), (3) the stick timer never worked properly and (4) the math was seriously flawed once they did release it. My pitchfork stayed in the barn because it was just a skin for a character who has the most, but it was a little annoying to see the obvious flaws in the whole thing. It’s too bad — it would have been a fun grind over the weekend to prep for the upcoming event as opposed to know you were working toward something that was never going to happen the way it was presented. That being said — bring on the Star Trek event!!

Lol. A lot of things are easier to just say and assume then to put into actual action when it comes to the games. Without being there, at the scene, creating the game… it is hard for anyone to understand just why they do things.
Regardless, they did what I have come to respect them for doing… seeing something for what it is and still finding a way to give their players a chance. They are not the only game out there set up the EXACT way. Slow at first… increasing round middle to end. It is very common in the game world. However to date they are the ONLY game house that steps in when needed and makes it right.
I am gonna just chock this one up as a glitch nightmare, but still a success due to how they handled it even though it was such a short time they had to do it in.
BRING ON THE TRIBBLES!!!
