So welcome to WHAT THE DEUCE?!
Here’s your place to vent about anything and everything, Family Guy or not. Consider this your weekly bitch fest and get it all out with a good…WHAT THE DEUCE?! And start your weekend fresh! 🙂
Just be respectful of others & be mindful of the language.
Here’s mine for this week:
–WHAT THE DEUCE….you need Troi to clear Borgs…seriously?!
–WHAT THE DEUCE….when did games become so frustrating? I thought they were supposed to make people happy not wanna through their phones across the room
Now it’s YOUR turn…give us your WHAT THE DEUCE?! moments from the past week! Go on, get it off your chest…you’ll feel a lot better! 🙂
Family Guy Addicts 
Premium, premium, premium…wtd seems like there’s way too much premium stuff and almost nothing to buy with crystals (so glad I didn’t waste money on a dylithium mine)…a new premium (or multiples) are needed every week just to barely keep up. I usually buy premium items so the event doesn’t feel like a grind and I don’t have to sneak in every possible minute to play, but even with premiums this event is felling like a grind. Too many tasks for too few characters…I’ve got 90% of my townspeople in storage and even the premium characters which in past events have at least provided a little help, are now totally worthless, WTD? I love Star Trek and it’s great to see all the Trek stuff, but this event just isn’t very much fun at the moment…except for the tribble popping.

I know it’s been said probably a thousand times by now, but it really does seem like TinyCo dropped the ball with this event. I’ve been holding off on saying anything as we are repeatedly promised that they’re working on it, but their focus seems to be on pissing the players off. I still haven’t hit level 4 so I can’t upgrade, yet I have a ton of Borgs wandering around making it difficult to do anything on the ship without accidently tapping them. This is honestly the first time I’ve regretted spending the money I have on the game. To have tons of characters that cost money sitting there after their event doing absolutely nothing is frustrating as hell. With TSTO, premium characters usually not only help with events, they’ll get extra goodies. Basically TinyCo, stop messing with the things that actually help players out (I only got the room swapping, missed out on the bar and taco trucks but oh well). Sometimes it really does feel like they’re just pulling these changes out of their asses, without any thought to how it’ll impact the players.

i like to say goodbye to the game on this way
i spent a lot of time and had a lot of fun here and in the game, but my acer a511 tablet seems to be old to play this game – a lot of waiting, restarting and its getting worse and worse
so i leave with nearly 1.5 mio $ and 200 clams on max level and wish u all a good time here
a word to the developer? i dont know, perhaps one thing: please give someone the job to do the maths for you 🙂
its not too hard to calculate how often a player has to play to get certain stuff and you know exactly how the numbers are inside the app – it looks weird to me that you change the rules of things quite often, mostly after you asked players
so long and thanks for all the … deuce and fun!

Yes, I bought the Klingon Temple really cheap (100 chrystals, 10 life support energy) before the update properly launched. It sat on a 2×2 base at that time. When loading I get the error message “Placeables out of bounds”. When the phase was launched correctly the temple properly had a bigger base. Since I placed it at the boundary of the game area, it doesn’t fit anymore. I mailed them this information, but no reply 😦
I can’t get into my game and change this. Restarting and so on also won’t move anything ingame, so my hands are tied…

Too many quests that involve characters that need to get energy.
Not only that but quite a few quests that involve doing the 24 hour actions.
Not enough stuff to spend crystals on.. Sitting on 5000 crystals and don’t know what to do with them.

5000. Really?! I barely have 500 because I’ve doubled up on most of the rooms. Any room that drops stuff needed to unlock anything I buy more than once to optimize drop rates. So the rooms that now only drop dilithium crystals & star fleet XP sit in storage. But then I play freemium. So no purchasing uncharted planet mystery boxes or crystal packages because my clams are rather limited.

I had a feeling it was a mistake. It was WAY too high.
LikeLike
Ok. It was a mistake. But why change it during the middle of a phase? People are struggling to reach level four and this would have helped them immensely AND kept them playing instead of quitting the event or even the game. Now it is Day Three into the newest phase and I am still reading comments here that people haven’t reached level four. Was it taking money out of TinyCo’s pocket to just leave it be for this phase and let players use it to help them reach levels and keep playing? Players don’t know what is intended and what are mistakes. I know when I get extra change during a purchase because I know what I am supposed to receive back so I return it. This game is so sporadic and poorly constructed, how would players know what is intended? They play the game as it is presented to them. I saw this as a kudos to TinyCo for quietly putting something in the game to help the players. No blaring trumpets. No fanfare. If you figure it out, you benefit. Seems a little petty to change it twice — once to increase its payout time from 2 to 16 hrs but then also to reduce the XP so drastically. I’m sorry but this is too much. Sure TinyCo listens to the players and makes changes … when they muck it up and people need to get out the pitchforks to force their hand! Here they made a mistake which could help the players and then they took it away. WTD TinyCo! smh

It wasn’t the middle. It was just barely into this phase. I know people are struggling and when/if I get a response on it, I will happily share.

The romulan ale bar… Now only 4 experience every 16 hours? Seriously? I gave transporter energy for that!
This whole event, so much promise, so much effort clearly went into making it. I don’t get the drops to play most of it, the 8 useful characters are each doing one task repeatedly (not even animated sometimes so it’s like they don’t exist), I’ve given up following the quests hoping to get whatever kind of energy I need this week. Even the premium characters aren’t that useful. It’s kind of a shame. All this work, only a small fraction is really part of the game.
I wish we could convert coins (does anyone still collect from regular buildings?) , or use more characters to get stuff.

Frustrated! still not getting a lot of transporter energy (and that’s after following the tips to improve it). Only got enough for one trip to wai iota iv, so far, and didn’t get any chocolate to help free Troi. I.e. I have no chocolate at all. Now i see i need Troi to remove Borg to get items to free Locutus. Anyone else struggling to even get close to keeping up with the game as it developes?

WTD? I had 2 Romulan Ale Bars running, kicking out 10 Dylithium Crystals and 32 Starfleet X every 2 hours. I breezed through Starfleet level 4, and had just started 5.

There’s a lot wrong with this event, and it’s unfortunate, given the feedback on prior events. A common theme I see is the uselessness of characters in events. It seems like only the same 3-5 characters have any use in the event thus far…we’re sitting on over 70 (depending on how many you’ve gotten as premium). Drop rates for the needed items are hysterically poor, combined with too few options for drops.
I get that an event like this serves to bring in a new player base and you do yourself a disservice if you eliminate the ability of those possible new players from progressing, but there’s just no reward for those who have played for a while.
Also…why tell me that spock quagmire can defeat borgs this week if he’s not available until next week? And likely won’t be unlocked until close to the end of that week due to poor drop rates and not enough options to get drops?
On top of top few characters utilized to get drops, those same characters are the only ones needed for story quests…with no drops attached. Again, this is a long-standing complaint not being addressed. Difficult to understand terrible drop rates for necessary items paired with quests necessary for story advancement that waste time (full day tasks farrrrrr too often) that could be spent on item tasks.

I built 4 was staying busy. I just checked in, now the exp payout went from 32 to 4……..really??WHAT THE BIG DEUCE….Did tiny co figure a way to stop helping people gain xp? I can see putting a limit on the bar. But know becouse to many people have so many bars……….punish everyone, especially those that are far behind. I only have 4 chocolates and waiting around for TE, I’ve been here since the beginning, and waiting around for TE is making lose interest………I hate to say it.

still reluctant to send expiditions out Even though i did get 5 ear pieces.
And i did finally get 1 space groceries from the crews quarters. I’m gonna ignore that though. I got 3 from borgs so i just need one more and it will be a day or 2 before i am even close to unlocking lois. Gotta get more phaser energy for her drops and borg Picards drops.

WTD with firing phasers?!? The last 7 times I’ve hit a minimum of three objects each, once getting as many as five, and only ONE fracking item dropped. That’s got to be a glitch, no?

Adding insult to injury the phaser energy is certainly not dropping in my game as one would expect an uncommon item to. Geordi and Chris twice and nothing…

WTD – the Romulanian Ale Bar just changed to 16hrs reload time and 20 chrystals and only 4 SFXP, at the same time as I levelled up to SF Level 5… Glad I did not craft more than two of them, that high XP payout every 2 hours felt too good to be true. At least I levelled up one whole SF level in one and a half day mostly with the help of my two bars XD

WTD yet another big event and only a few characters are pulling their weight. I would rather have the same drop rates with most characters having tasks that relate to the event than have only the same core working on items while also doing tasks to progress in missions. Come on TinyCo. Give us some extra tasks for the other characters rather than us sending them on those 24hr quests to only gain coin after coin that won’t be used in event. How about some get tasks that drop items and others help with starfleet experience.
