Happy Weekend Clammers!
Well we’ve all made it through another week and the weekend is here!
All week we field your comments about your frustrations in the game and we wanted to give you (and us) a fun way for you to voice your frustrations and get it all off of your chest.
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 
My vent is the shielded petercraft. I have lost at least 10 phaser hit either due to an asteroid getting in the way or the game refusing to shoot the second shot before the ship glides of screen. I have always made sure it was targeted and red and the second shot just refuses to fire. Also phaser energy is to slow a drop. I know we complain that we accumulate too much ammo in the previous events but I would rather have too much than not enough.

I’m disappointed that all of the characters we had to buy clame to get have no role at all in getting items needed for Star Trek.
I expected to get at least a bit of help from them since we actually pay for them.
Most of the characters I bought are either in storage or given a 24 hour chore to do because they are now a useless and annoying part of the game.
This only gives me incentive to never pay money for a game that is “free to play”

Am I the only one that finds 42 rare space condoms an enormous amount?? It seems there’s only one way to get them without having to use clams.

I agree with you. Just this morning I FINALLY got SF Lois & Locutus after constant grinding for the past week. THREE DAYS AFTER the latest level up.

To summarize my and apparently most people’s feelings about this event… Like a certain comic book store owner in another game would say… WORST EVENT EVER! TinyCo is turning into EA (read: extra greedy). I’ll spend more money on this game if they ever fix the crashes every minute of playing the game but badly programmed game + greed = majorly mad former fans hating TinyCo.

First off, this has been one of the better events in content and presentation, but definitely one of the tougher events. Many would say too tough. Theres been a lot that hasnt made a lot of sense and really turning me off of the game. In past events the quests and tasks seemed to be designed so that while challenging, you can still, with commitment, get them completed before the next upgrade drops. This has been the cause of so much frustration, because these levels arwnt designed that way and we play on in hopes that at least the event is designed to have enough time to complete everything overall. The drop rates rarity and quantity are just asinine. Consider the space condoms. You need 42 of them and they are rare. So take a favorable percentage and say that means you’ll get 1 in 3 attempts, so you have to attempt 126 times. So that takes you to the phaser energy which you need 2 for each attempt to blow up the ship. Now we’re at 252 phaser energy. So now let’s say you have the two rooms and 2-3 characters working on phaser energy all day every day you’ll probably get about 12-15 per day which seems pretty favorable from what I’ve received. Also meaning you can complete the task in about 18-21 days or probably just after the event ends so not at all. Theres the math on one, there’s a few others that make just as little sense. Here’s hoping they figure out their mistakes sooner rather then later. I’m the last of about ten of my friends who still play the game. It was fun before, now it’s just proving more frustrating then it’s worth

You are right about how ridiculous they have made the tasks and drop rates. They don’t publish rates for a reason. Think about it for a sec…. This is all planned by TinyCo to get you panicked into spending actual $ to get all the items & characters. “Welcome folks, step right up, don’t be shy! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Don’t be the only player to miss out on this weeks special limited time only offer of STUFF for the low low cost of $29.95! What a deal! If that doesn’t grab you, how bout this shiny new MysteryBox?”
(These remind me so much of the games at the fair that have giant stuffed animal prizes hanging, but after spending $10-20 trying to ring a bottle you only win cheap plastic kazoos & bird shaped whistles). Wooohooo
If you fall for this carnival act & do whatever it takes to get everything they spewed out, you can’t put it in your town or it crashes from memory issues. **referring to tips & tricks suggestions to STORE as much as possible to solve crashing isssues** Plus none of these characters will ever be relevant again, as they only use the same few basic characters for events. So go thru all the anger, hype & cash, then put all the STUFF in storage because the next event will be here in a few days with all new junk to lure you in and piss you off. Can you say “laughing all the way to the bank”?

This is my first time spending real (bought clams) money on an event, and boy do I regret it. I feel fine about supporting TinyCo, because they have brought me much entertainment in the past, so that’s all good. But…the stuff I have bought (Dilithium Mine, Hisanus Box, Worf, Guinan) has NOT been worth the cost. Worf gives out Transporter Energy, but he has to be in the Transporter for 6 hours and MAYBE drops, lowering my chances to get T-Energy (others too, but I didn’t pay 200 clams for them). But the worst is Guinan. I didn’t even read the blip when I bought her because I had no doubt she would always drop Phaser Energy. NOPE. So, instead of being ready for the next phase, I’m stuck at 9/25 (down from 35, woo hoo) Felicium for Lois because the Petercraft gives out Felicium at an XXXRare rate (got plenty of pointers that I don’t need). I would be okay if I was behind in general, but the other stuff I got quickly (Troi and chocolate anyone?) so what’s up with character unlock being so unbalanced? This is just a game, but after spending money on it, my frustration level has climbed to the point that I’m over this event that I looked forward to for so long. Thanks for listening, I wish TinyCo was as responsive as you awesome gals.

I used clams to get the enterprise observation room for phaser energy and when built you get nothing!! What is up with that?! Everything you build that has a payout gives the payout immediately, so why not this room? I need phaser energy badly and want to shoot the petercrafts as often as possible but how can i when my room doesn’t payout?
Plus to make it more frustrating they added this new shielded craft that needs to get hit twice so hence needed double energy to get anything from it and nothing new to provide that extra energy!

I am glad I am not alone in my frustrations. Still working on two from previous level. Still need laser pointers and bags of white stuff. I am killing Borgs but they don’t say they are dropping what sick bay lady needs. Just green things. Forget about the Orange things. One every 4-6 hours. I refuse to spend clams on a chance. I don’t care about the Casino reference. At least at a Casino you get a chance to win real money. Not a pixel of money. I know 2 people that even play this game. All my friends that did play have stopped. I started playing this game because I love the simpsons game. I never watched Family Guy. Learned the characters through the game. Thought it was fun in the beginning. Now it just isn’t anymore. If in what some say about having to pay for license fees to the Startrek people then stop and just use your own. I am sure there are enough to work with. If you want this a money maker then just do away with freemium and make it all pay. I am sure some will still play. Until this newest level, I was ok with it. Seeing the only ways of getting parts now, it has proved to me the future of the game will be going to the clams.

The latest update is going to far, was realy looking to getting Vulcan Quagmire, but ehat s croc 42 condoms needed, either pay 100 clams again to get a chance visiting yet another planet, already wasted clams on Worf and 2 premium rooms along with 25 on the other planet and not used yet, or get it from hitting Peter craft, made this even harder to do by intraducing another one to hit if you are super fast twice, if you are very lucky and hit it twice every time that makes a 25% chance so 42 x 2 is 84 phaser energy used for hits with a guaranteed win or at a 25% chance is 332 phaser energy needed, but allowing for misses approx 400 phaser energy. This an absolute joke, which the game is no longer funny just annoying. Was looking towards this as a Trek and Family guy fan but sereiously getting to the stage along with many more of saying bye, enough is enough.

I stopped trying on this event.
I’m still picking away at it but I doubt I will manage to unlock everything since I’m still chugging away at SF level 4, don’t have a single bag of space groceries for Lois, don’t have borg running around yet (took FOREVER to unlock Troi, so I was focused more on using characters for items instead of quests–regretting that now), and have 730 clams worth of items left to find for Locutus. The drop rates are terrible and I’m very disappointed that Sir Patrick, George Takei and Benedict Cumberbatch (KHAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!) haven’t had anything to do.
I guess I’ll be happy if I manage to get Locutus before this event is over, but it’s been such a grind and so disappointing. As it is, unless I drop a couple hundred dollars on clams–which isn’t happening, as I’m not THAT big of a fan of Star Trek–I don’t see myself completing any of the character sets/skins for this event. I’ll probably stop after I get Locutus because there’s no point in banging my head against the wall trying to catch up when I’m so far behind.

Honestly, after reading all the dead-on comments below, I can’t really add anything new to the complaints. If anything I feel better knowing that we are all in the same fail-boat here. Just feel kind of dumb spending clams for this event (some will argue cash for premium currency is dumb to begin with, but to each their own!) because after buying Worf, Guinan, the starfleet research academy, dilithium refinery and McBurgertown, i’m still stuck half way through the Bridge chapter, waiting on gobs of Felicium, lazer pointers and batteries.
Just decided to take to the complaint board because while I may the most rabid player of this game out of my friends, even i’m getting frustrated, and they pretty much all already (casual non-clammers) collectively told me they are done with this event as they are still somewhere between Troi and the start of the Bridge.
My main point of frustration- What is up with all the Day-long tasks thrown into the quest story lines?! We need these characters for jobs!

Just some food for thought. Alissa and Bunny, I k ow you are tired of people complaining but I wouldn’t insult them and tell them it’s just a game lol. go to a casino and tell all the gamblers it’s just a game. 😄.fortunately I’m not financially invested in this game but if I was I’d be having a cow too. My second thought is for readers.. I’m confident that back at headquarters they have a white board with a financial goal for this event. The goal has to first pay off the rights tinyCo had to buy yo have a startrek event. I’m sure quite pricey. Then they have an obtainable profit goal and a “reach” profit goal. I’m sure things will go smoother once each of these goals is reached. I just feel they could have approached making profit a little differently it does feel exploitive. This event has definitely loosened my attachment to the game as a result of my bitterness. I realize there is plenty of time left but there have been many events where even at the end I didn’t succeed even after tinyco altered the drop rates so telling me to wait it out just increases my annoyance lol. Even stupid Sombrero peter.. they lowered the candy requirememts but I was short on one of the other drops. Almost every event I run short of getting the last character or two.. jesus, George takei, comiccon, just to name a few. I consider myself sadly addicted so if I can’t get it I know hundreds of thousands didn’t either as there are over 10 million downloads for this game. That makes me sad for the players who are trying but are unable to succeed.

I think they really need to stop limiting item drops to characters from the first few districts. I realize they want everyone, no matter how long they have played, to have an equal chance but I don’t think anyone would have an issue if people who have played longer might have a slightly easier time. For example, if we need three items for a character why not at least have one item drop be attainable from one character from a later district or past event. Especially with the star trek event going on how do Patrick Stewart and George Takei not do anything. They should have tasks that either drop items or earn crystals/star fleet XP.

Whats the deal with space condoms? *Seinfeld theme*
First of all, I can understand all this frustration.
We have been able to finish each phase 1-2 days before the next phase in earlier event, which makes most of us left behind when we havent finished everything before each new phase.
Remember what everybody complained about in those earlier events?
That we had nothing else to do.
We still got three weeks left of this event. Which is two weeks after the last part of Enterprise is unlocked.
Yes, the drop rates seems bad at first, and Space Condoms are just the last ones. Number One didnt want to give me beard trimmers, so I got to the Enterprise late. Geordi had items that only dropped by 20 hours tasks so it took forever to unlock him.
Mort had… I forgot what, but it was one item that didnt want to drop.
Chocolate bars, oh my, I wasted so many Teleporting Energy trying to get those, didnt see a single one until my eleventh trip.
Locutus had laser pointers that never wanted to drop, I finally managed to get the last one moments ago. Still missing a few Lois whatever it is that looks like drugs things.
Space Condoms… it look impossible right now.
But if we look back some…
Remember the Spanish soapopera Peter just before this event?
With broken pinatas and mathematical impossible to gather enough items to unlock in time?
TinyCo changed it.
Remember earlier in this Star Trek event when it felt impossible to get all different Energy crystals?
TinyCo gave more characters the abilities to drop them AND raised the droprate. Same thing with the Chocolate Bars, they raised the possibilities to get them.
I would be surprised if it didnt become easier to get Space Condoms in the near future. I mean, Number One must have a few that we can steal…
So what the deuce is it with people talking about quitting now before TinyCo makes it easier to get Space Condoms?

I think the deal here is they appear to not be listening and possibly making things worse. Seems like it’s going from hard to stupid hard. Meanwhile I’ve got a stupid ton of one material (I can unlock the whole ship now if they let me) but others are viciously hard. Seems untested/unbalanced and now for the first time like you have to pay to succeed.

I play regularly and I’m nowhere near completing phase 2, even though I’ve spent some clams. Now that phase 3 has arrived I feel… let’s say left behind. If I’m always several days “behind schedule”, I don’t think it’s feasible to get all the characters at the end of the event (unless they extend it or change the rate drops).
Shame, I like the game and Star Trek, it would be awesome to get everything (o most things).

Well – I’m no longer frustrated with this event. It became so tedious that I just don’t care anymore. Ive accepted the fact that I won’t get everyone.

Where to start? Well… I suppose I’ll start with praise.
The new ideas for this even have been pretty great. I like the fact that the event takes place on the Enterprise.
I like the phaser battles instead of having to look around your town and wait for days on end for a few enemies to clump together (or of course clear all roads).
I also like the idea of the transporter and away missions.
Now the rant part.
1) Herberts costume. I know some people had no trouble unlocking him, but last week I sent Troi and Chris (peter ups dilithium more than the other characters) between 20 and 30 times to go find it, no luck.
I know its luck depended, but the chance is so tiny (at least for me) and no character really gives it an increase (goes up like 1 pixel?), makes it more annoying than chocolate…
2) Space condoms…. Just wth…. Who came up with that? Fellicium and the Lasers were already hard enough, lets double the amount needed and double the hardness of obtaining it! Genius!
I really dont have to say anymore, plenty of people have already ranted about space condoms.
3) common complaint number 2, 60+ useless characters. It has been complained about since the comic con event, yet nothing has changed. It seems to be one of the few things Tiny Co wont sort out.
How hard would it be to add a character or 2 to help you collect the harder items? (Chocolate, Fellicium, Lasers, Space condoms).
I know they want to keep it so its possible for new gamers, but no one is asking them to make it harder, even if they keep it as it is but just add characters to the list to make things easier for older players.
I bought a load of characters and have had no use for them after the event. The main 2 this event are of course George Takei and Sir Patrick. How have they not been included? Patrick practically made TNG a success and George Takeis biggest ever role (by far) was on star trek, yet neither are in this event…
3) the drop rates are insane. Its one thing needing a lot of items, its another thing to make them incredibly hard to obtain too.
For example
Phaser energy: uncommon, every 4/6 hours! (Getting like 5 a day, with premium characters!). Thats fine, bit low but fine. Problem is that means per day I’m getting 5 chances to get 2 RARE items OR 2 chances to get 1. So far I got 5 Fellicium for the 5 free phaser energy and 0, yes 0 since. All my Fellicium has came through Chris.
How many do you need of said items? 25, 35(?) and 42…
I hope they fix the items and make them more obtainable for everyone but I’m not getting my hopes up since when everyone was finding chocolate hard, the first thing they did was make it hard to get the blue energy… at this point even if they fix it you have to say they shouldnt have failed this badly.
So RANT OVER. Great new ideas, probably the worst execution of an event since the Full Moon event. For the first time since the full moon event it feels like a premium only event. (Even then you’ll have to be lucky). Yet again I suppose it doesnt really matter if you get anything or not, there wont be enough room in Quahog for the buildings and the Characters will NEVER come in to play again…
Ok now my rant is definitely over 😛

I think this event is the most criticized event since the start. That must speak for something.
Don’t know why tinyco decided to make this event so hard but it’s not cool.
Beside from the fact that everything is so hard to obtain, it’s always the same people that are needed to collect stuff.
Really, bonnie and mort are needed to collect stuff, but also to collect energy. So the hard to get energy required to build stuff and go to space, is now again harder to obtain?
It looks like this is an event tinyco decided pay up the clams or stick it. And from what I read even premium players have a hard time.
I don’t even have locutus yet, and I don’t have starfleet lois. I even unlocked troi just a couple of days ago, and have several questlines still running, some that require 16h and 1d tasks, this for characters that are needed to get energy.
Also, getting herbert is a pain….. I’ve spend 10 trips sending different chars and combinations and he’s still not unlocked.
The christmas event was enjoyable, I even bought clams with real money for the first time ever in a game. That’s how much I enjoyed it and liked what they had to offer. This time I spend a couple of clams to speed up some stuff just because it annoyed me, but that was only with the clams I got from jesus and the tribbles that dropped during this event.

I was very eager to start playing this event at the beginning but now my interest seems to be dwindling away slowly. This game has becoming more of a chore or “second job” every day rather than a game where you can have fun and relax a few minutes every so many hours.
As each new phase gets introduced week after week, the requirements to unlock characters and costumes are becoming more and more rediculous every time. I try to buy most premium stuff and normally log on to play on an average of 5 times a day, but still I found it a hard time to unlock Locutus and Starfleet Lois due to their large amount of stuff to collect. I even opted to pay the remaining 40 clams today to fully unlock Locutus and keep on schedule with the new phase in order not to fall behind.
If, like me, you’re finding it a hard time to unlock characters like Locutus and Starfleet Lois, you’re in for a better surprise seeing the requirements to unlock Vulcan Quagmire. One of the stuff needed for Vulcan Quagmire is earn 42 rare space condoms. Yep, you heard me – 42 besides 25 uncommon q-tips and 25 rare books. To obtain these space condoms you can either blow up the shielded petercraft in the phaser battles or send an away team to Planet Vulcan. Now here’s where the ridiculous part kicks in:
1.) as regards to blowing up the shielded petercraft in the phaser battles, you first need phaser energy to be able blow up the shielded petercraft. Phaser energy may be obtained every 4 hours from rooms or every 6 hours from characters for a CHANCE (not always guaranteed) to receive it. When you have enough phaser energy at hand, you may now finally attempt to blow up the shielded petercraft. Now the fun & cool part kicks in – the shielded petercraft roams faster than the regular petercraft on the screen and you need to aim and shoot it TWICE before it leaves the screen or else it will reappear undamaged and you would have wasted 2 phaser energy (which you waited 4-6 hours to obtain it) for nothing! How ridiculous is that?!?
2.) as regards to sending an away team to Planet Vulcan, you must first spend 100 clams to unlock this particular planet for the possibility of earning 5 space condoms besides other stuff. Now, once you spend a hundred clams, you will notice that one of the characters you can send to Planet Vulcan for a chance to win 5 space condoms for Vulcan Quagmire is actually Vulcan Quagmire himself!!! How is it possible to send Vulcan Quagmire to Planet Vulcan to win 5 space condoms when you need space condoms to unlock Vulcan Quagmire?!? Once you unlock Vulcan Quagmire and send him to Planet Vulcan, space condoms will no longer be needed in the first place!! It does not make any sense at all! O.O

Well this is the event I was the most excited about ever on this game and it has been the most frustrating or tied with the best of 2014. In a week now I have 7 laser pointers with quagmire constantly working for them. So if this pattern continues I’ll not get loutus unlocked in 28 days with we don’t have that long left in the event. I had last night 2 weapons rooms, Geordie, and Gulian working on getting phaser energy and had 1 drop they where dropping about every time earlier in this week’s part of the event. Riker is costantly thinking deeply to get the energy to unlock the sick bay later today 50 energies with sending him out (not counting the room) to think that’s 100 hours alone of tasks not working on anything else with him. Then Tori I gave up and got frustrated with and just used clams to unlock after I got chocolate to drop once. Felicium is not dropping as well but I get more a day at least 2 a day! So Starfleet Louis may be attainable after this week. So my observations since after week one goes unattainable numbers of items, few ways to earn item’s, and no time to actually work on quests for trying to get item unlockes. Oh last thought I bought every single premium character in the main part of the game (Cleveland Buzz Killington Consula Brain Damaged Horse) Those are offered to every player it’s their choice to buy them or not could it be a reward for buying them that they help out in events I mean geeze I feel bitter that I bought them but they haven’t helped with anything other than draining my pockets.

WTD, starting to really regret spending $20 on clams for this event. With other events the clam investments seemed to help make it nice and achievable, with quests/etc finishing out the day before the update…and while the freebies were complaining my game was going smooth, but the way this event is progressing…or purposefully impeding progress…with each round pushing players further and further behind, I’m starting to feel that my money has been wasted. In past events the characters and items built gradually increased your ability to complete each phase, but now the phases are stacking problems on top of problems. While in the endless quest for laser pointers and felicium, things like quests to progress to the next level are stacking up in the to do pile and what was once a healthy surplus of life support energy is now barely enough to progress to the next lvl and at the rate it’s been building since room swapping was nerfed, I can expect it to take much more than a week to build up enough for the next lvl. Transporter energy has become less of an issue after finally getting the chocolate bars since nothing in this round of transporter planets is truly essential, but we can expect all efforts next week to be diverted to a new thing. At this point I’ve spent about 450 clams on this event….Worf is now nearly useless and rarely ever drops a green cube or a transporter energy, so a character that I hoped would be an investment for the entire event is looking like a dud. Red shirt room continues to pump out transporter energy that doesn’t seem to have much payoff, and Starfleet Academy really isn’t producing enough phaser energy to make borg Picard happen before next week.
Also, WHAT THE DUECE is with T-Co and these mystery boxes that include crap like dylithium crystals and energy cubes. I would buy mystery boxes if they didn’t include these whammy prizes…but last time I spent clams on one I was awarded with whatever the event currency of the time was…total and complete waste of clams, esp. since I always have extra event currency at the end of an event.
…and now their server is down…WTD?
Thanks Addicts for letting us vent…it has certainly prevented me from testing out my new Otterbox case against a wall.

WTD – I’m concerned that this event was not designed or planned carefully… I feel like they just had a meeting and said “ let’s make it 60 of this stuff… 35 of that other, and 40 of that one”… with only 2 characters helping, not even testing if things were reasonable or attainable – This is a little bit more annoying coming after the soap opera event which was a complete disappointment.
I’ve been reading this section for a few days now. It’s quite impressive that the main issues seemed to be not because of lack of playing, but because of lack of logic, and if it is mere chance (the drops for instance) then conditions are not equal to all players. Having people still trying to unlock Troi should call the attention of Tiny Co. This is the end of the third week!! Something is not right about the mechanics. (I also read a comment by a man or woman here saying that games are not supposed to be easy… a little arrogant if you ask me)
I have Worf and the Starfleet academy. I’m not as “freemium” as I would like, and believe me, I play every hour or two.. I’m not moving at all!!
On a more concrete point, the side quests are annoying and a complete waste of time!! 24 hrs tasks for the only guys helping?? Really?? I know, attention should be now on getting stuff, and take care of side quests later, but I’m sure that finishing those is going to be needed to advance on phase 4… even if you don’t want to, you have to. There is a limit on the open quests available, so u know… what a waste of time.
Crafting stuff to get more XP level… pfffff.. that is another waste of resources!! At the end of the event I don’t want 50 casket launchers in my inventory… I think most players would agree, that energy balls are going to be needed for new stuff to create.
Any way… I can only say THANK YOU!! To Bunny and Alissa for being here posting walkthroughs and tips for everyone.. At least I know what to expect.

I paid clams for tori because i got fed up of waiting for chocolates but what im stating is now im having the same issues with locutus n starfleet lois but times 10 n im quite sure that the next group of characters will be even worse. I was a simpsons junkie untill the events became ridiculous n levels boring now i hardley play. i fell in luv with family guy cus it was fun exciting n always something new but when timed events become completely unatainble the game becomes unattractive and pointless like this i feel im wasted time and i could be progressing else where

WTD, this event is just too hard. I’ve resigned that I’m not going to get much… But what I find most frustrating is that I don’t think I’m going to get anything else. Chocolate is impossible, and books are slow, and I’m only at core level 3 with experience level 4… *sigh*
I think with previous special events, even if you were slow, you at least continued to achieve goals… I’m just collecting tribbles for nothing now. Kind of like my 3 million coins.

WTD the chocolate situation is getting silly now. Got some on 1st trip but none since as if getting 6 energy wasn’t enough of a challenge. On the plus side I don’t have to stress that I’m only 3/4 of the way to star fleet level never mind 6 as I wouldn’t be able to unlock anyway. Feeling like infamous tapped out easter event all over again. I know tinyco are likely to improve things but my faith is waning.

Hey Tony Co: Love the event…..however…..Please make more people available to do quests…i have 30 something characters ( includes premium ones and American Dad guys) with nothing to do. Makes it easy when you need 40 drops of an item. Or make the drope we need less.
thanks!😄

Here’s the thing. With the way this event has been constructed, from the nerf’d drop rates to the confusing labrynth of tasks back and forth in quahog, to needing to complete “B” to get “A”…but completing “B” requires “A”, to the multiple tasks that take full days out of a 42 day timed event, to the obviousness that you cannot complete this event without buying a ton of clams…this is the yeti to get Jesus all over again.
I’m sure that the Star Trek licence was expensive as all get out, and I know that TinyCo is a for profit enterprise, but there comes a fine line between advertising a freemium game and what seem to be outright extortion practices. I know no one is forcing me to buy or play, but the fact of the matter is I (and many of my friends) enjoy(ed) the game tremendously. At one time, I had 13 other friends playing the game. They got fed up and have all left. I am the only one left. Funny thing is they all dropped several hundred dollars over the course of the last year because they figured if they were gonna drop $60 for a console game they would play for a month or two, might as well support a company that put out a product they played for over a year.
My point is this…TinyCo could make $ providing extra’s for the core game and still be successful…skins, decos, specialties, etc.
If the clam grab is because they paid a boatload for the star trek license, maybe they should have had a My Little Pony event instead.

I see that I can get duct tape and something for Lois by clearing Borg, but I don’t have any Borg to clear. I have Deanna and Worf and Guinan, and I have the Klingon temple and the Bat’Leth outlet, but still no Borg. Am I just waiting on a task to finish? I don’t have very many of them currently running.

Hello All ❤
I must admit, I am not a big fan of this event thus far.. I never watched Star Trek before (Don't plan to either)..
The drops seem nearly impossible. I mean 10 extra rare duct tapes (I have 4)..40 batteries (I have 20)..35 laser pointers (I have 8)..Plus 5 extra rare space groceries (I have 3)..25 Felicium (I have 2)..and 30 ear pieces (I have 18)..
I just don't see how they expect us to get all of this stuff..Ive cleared borgs non-stop and I think I got maybe one thing of groceries from it and 2 green cubes.. And I know that getting the other characters; not to mention the yellow cubes to unlock all the places is going to be hard (At least for me).. I just wish I didnt have to urge to throw my phone so much..I love this game but this seems a little un-fair. If more people were given tasks to earn things (weather it be the energry or things for Lois/ Locutus/ Every other person coming soon) it would be slightly easier (Assuming the extra tasks dropped) and I think more fun for people again. That's just my thoughts.
That and being an adult sucks..
Thanks for the read, and here's to hoping Tinyco reads these and helps us players out by throwing a few more tasks in to help get us people! :3
❤ sending love to everyone
