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….updates after midnight again…seriously. If you’re not going to have the update ready at a normal hour, just push it the next day TinyCo. Some of us enjoy sleeping…
–WHAT THE DEUCE….another thing to attack this week? Really? At least there aren’t mutant stewies wandering around to bomb…
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! 🙂

What the deuce! I love the character Q from the series, and snatched him as soon as he was available, and despite home costing a pretty penny and being a premium character, he has been absolutely USELESS in this whole event to date. What a waste!

ANOTHER DELAY??!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had to get that off my chest! Whew! Hopefully, it won’t be till 1 or 2 tomorrow morning. Other than that, I finally have Data and Talosian Stewie and 74 out of 150 saved. I’m ready for the further and (more difficult) Bertram battles. Bring it on!! I’m looking forward to Khan and am sure he’ll be a premium character and will lend to the fight against Bertram. Good event but…WTD WITH ALL OF THESE DELAYS!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

WTD, I have 50 characters/costumes that I never use. I get the whole new players thing, but I’d really like it if there could be an extra task to earn items only for the long-term players (i.e. characters from previous events and characters like Carter or Pewtucket Pat) It doesn’t need to be for every item in every event, but I’d really really like it if it was 😉

So i see even if i spend my last Crystal and 10 of the green crystals for the casket ejector, it still wont level me from 9 to 10. But i need more than a measly 250 crystals devoting all 5 battlers against Bertram a day. SO i risk my last to get ALMOST to level 10. Also no guarantee that the level 4 and 5 payoffs will be worth it ( i suspect it’ll be 500 then 1000) Honestly, i still believe TinyCo is taking every strategy we use each event and throwing it in our face. It NEVER should’ve taken 2 levels per portal upgrade, just taking advantage of what came with each portal upgrade was tough enough. Barely managed to get King Butt when they gave us a second chance, i dont like knowing that i’m gonna again be one or two days behind on level 10 (it took 5 days to get to 9). I have every room occupied by something, and 2 of each crystal dropping room, if i make the casket ejector, i have less than 9 days to get 20 more for Kirk even if i get enough Dark Matter.

I think the requirements for all characters are ridiculous. I caved on Vulcan Quagmire and spent some clams because I was over waiting in vain for hopes to get what I’d need to unlock. I’m nearing the same for Crusher, because it’s unbelievable. Right now, I’ve given up hopes on Data, Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Kirk. I’ve got a small prayer for Talosian Stewie, IF I can manage to save up enough dilithium… but I keep having to shell out for other quest-related items.
I love the concept behind this event and it’s been really fun… I just think it needs another 2-3 weeks, or TinyCo needs to do their own math and alter the drop rates and dilithium costs. It’s almost as astronomical as the requirements for Simpsons: Tapped Out events, which I never finish because the requirements are too high.
Disappointing, considering I put money into the game to get bonus characters to help, which really haven’t helped me progress in the game at all.
LikeLike
I hate the way the timing works on ALL the events. I’d love to actually finish all the quest lines and see all the dialogue for the characters, but it’s always such a struggle to get all the item drops (and it’s -always- characters that have essential item drops that also have storyline quests) that usually there are multiple quest lines unfinished when the events end. Would be nice if they could turn off the drops/ability to get new things at the end time, but give a few extra days to let us wrap up the story.
But, I also think this event as a whole should be extended. Be nice to actually enjoy an event instead of mad-scramble through it for a change.

If you are having issues with the game and Tinyco is ignoring your inquiries, contact Google. My game wouldn’t load over the weekend and then I got a popup telling me to uninstall and reinstall. Now my game is at the beginning. I lost a years worth of progress and purchases. I contacted Tinyco over and over to only be ignored. They are contractually obligated to respond and if they are ignoring you, they are violating the terms of the contract with Google. AND GOOGLE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT IT. they just refunded all my purchases without hesitation. Good luck!

That is too bad it had to come to that. Just a side note: after an uninstall, the game reverts back to the beginning. If you have your game saved to an email or a Facebook account, you are able to LOAD that saved game right back to your device and restore all your progress.

I’d WTD the drop rates, the tasks and the impossibility of getting characters but I don’t know how bad things are now as I’ve been locked out of the game since the weekend update broke it. TinyCo’s help went dark as their only response to my request was “upgrade to IOS 7”, which I can’t.
It is comforting to know that money/clams were taken on time, the event will end absolutely on time but giving me and my family a fair amount of time to play the game, well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

Thank you for the update, it’s a bad show on Tinyco that we get more information from here then we get from their official support, I haven’t gotten a reply back in 3 days. It’s also alas a bit too late, there isn’t enough time to finish the event or even come close and no indication that they are extending it the 8-9 days they should to make up for people losing playing time so I’m off to ask for my money back from all those clams I was buying during the event and I’ll stick with TSTO.

It’s more due to TinyCo is not EA. Not in anyway shape or form. EA is MASSIVE. Worldwide. Thousands of employees worldwide. Many outsourced out of India and other regions to help 24/7. But they also have thousands of games funding that support. They’re a giant in the game industry.
TinyCo is… well… tiny. Lol. Just their one main office. Few games. Couple remote agents. But that’s it’s. 3 days is actually quite normal for any regular company to respond. Not just them. Many corporate places I worked for were 3 to 5 days turn around. As you are essentially standing in line with thousands upon thousands of others waiting your turn. Not easy to get through it all in one day with limited resources.
To combat the standard wait time, TinyCo likes to “crowd source” and use social media to get word out to millions at once right away instead of one by one by one that’ll take months to do. It’s a great idea. Like if you have an emergency in your area… they’ll alert you via radio n TV so everyone can know right away vs Calling each person or showing up on each door. It’s a time saver. So they correspond with us, on twitter, and on Facebook to help spread the word faster.
US being players ourselves also are on top of things and do similar. We see a stream of comments all saying same issue, then we know a problem is spreading and reach out to tech immediately to get on it. That also helps as we can be the voice for thousands vs one.
I know you feel like too lil too late. I get that. It’s your choice to walk away if you don’t like something and it’s not fun anymore. We actually tell people to do so. Just wanted to offer you a perspective on things as well. 😉

Thank you for the reply, both of you do an amazing job with TSTO and with TFGG under some rather stressful conditions and all of us in our house thank you (the littlest one of us gives bunny an extra thank you because she loves bunnies right now). It also does give me more information, I am surprised such a well know IP as Family Guy has a game run by such a small company. It does explain the communication and customer service issues as well as delays in fixing bugs but the one thing it doesn’t address and the one that I have the most problem with, is how the game the game events have been handled. That is something I see as totally within TinyCo’s capacity to handle regardless of the company size.
For TinyCo, this is in my rather limited view a simple issue to correct, just give people a better chance to win. Event timers don’t have to be absolute, they could extend the event for all of the time they’ve had broken clients, 7 days so far, and doing so might actually give them good player base feelings. They are already tweaking drops in light of the issues so extending the event a couple more weeks probably won’t cost the company anything and giving people more time to buy premium stuff might even add to their bottom line.
Honestly, were it just me I’d be fine leaving the game, why I’m so mad at TinyCo is that I don’t play it by myself, I play with 2 young children and while the game originally made for fun family time that fun has been eroded to the point that it is no longer a fun game to play and at some point I have to say enough is enough. This is the most clear when the kids are saying that “Family guy hates us and doesn’t want us to win” and that they are “not nice computer people.” This is the point when I have to explain that the game is just a game and is not worth getting upset and we are better off playing a different game and spending their little bit of money on something that does give them enjoyment without these frustrations.
When the fix gets approved and deployed I will give the game a look at to see if it is worth letting the younglings keep playing but I harbour no expectations that it will be and I won’t let them play a game that will kill another event before they are close to finishing it as they are too little for that kind of disappointment I feel.
I do appreciate the opening to vent, it does at the very least make all of us feel less alone.

So, while I am another player frustrated at the Sunscreen, it made me take a step back and try to take an objective look at things. And I realized that Talosian Stewie seems to be an error.
The reason is the Costume is obtained through collecting Items. It is not replicated from Energy. So, why is he in the Replicator and not in Al Harrington’s? The only reason I can come up with is that TinyCo doesn’t want players to spend Clams to speed him up? But that’s seemly counterproductive to their own profits.

WTD!. OK. The new lvl 10 warp core is out. I ama religious player. Save work and sleeping, I play hourly. I am currently on SF lvl 8. We have 9 days left in the game. THE NEW warp core drops in 2 and a half days. tI will take me that long just to reach SF lvl 10. I ask, how am I supposed to reach LVL 12 in time? I would spend clams, but THIS game is treated more like a roulette wheel rather than a free-mium game. There is no realistic chance that spending clams will get any results. I have already fallen victim to that in this game.( the His and Her ANUS stuff, spent 400 clams got nothing but transporter energy and ore, not one prize) I STILL HAVN’T UNLOCKED THE EDO SUIT. When will THAT happen? I have sent people on so many trips through the teleporter for him, NOTHING, 35 days, nothing. My posts are always for TINYCO to read. I do not expect any real answers from the ADDICTS crew. My posts are also for other players who have the same problems, because it seems the ADDICTS crew never, ever have problems with their game. ” I got the EDO suit on my first try!”, one claimed. I highly doubt that, but in guess anything is possible. Let me know, FELLOW players, are you in the same pickle? 🙂

WTD at how TinyCo made it almost impossible to collect Condoms for Spock Quagmire without spending Clams. The only free option is to shoot the Shielded Peterprise, which isn’t possible at the speed it travels and it heals when it reappears on screen. With me having to catch up from not playing for three weeks I’m going to have to skip getting him. Having to buy exclusive characters to even have a chance to get a skin is BS! There should always be more than one free option to getting items.
Also when do the Red Shirts start appearing? I’m at the task where I have to kill 20 Borgs.
As for my progress I’ve unlocked Troi, Locutus, Klingon Chris and Edo Herbert after sending Peter about 10 times. I almost have Lois needing 3 more Cocaine. I’m doing pretty good with Dr. Crusher and should have her by Friday if my plan works.

WTD, I now have a ridiculous number of premiums for this event and I’m still lagging in virus software, catfood, and Dylithium crystals. Good for T-Co for finally adjusting a lot of the drop rates, but seriously with all the premium characters and builds I have active ($30 worth of new clams purchases plus most of what was a several hundred clam stockpile coming into the event) I should be BREEEEZING through this event not falling behind. Not only will it take 9 days to collect the cat food and virus software at this rate, but DC collection is not picking up nearly as fast as DC costs are (past events the boss battle dropped significant event currency, but there’s no help in this event) with the high price tags on Picard, Stewie, Data, and Kirk…I’m not sure how I’m going to collect enough DC and I’m certainly not spending more @#$%ing clams.

Yep – same here! I have spent more real $ on clams for *this event* then for any other game I own or any other single event EVER by far, and I am still feeling behind. I have purchased every extra character available, and most of the buildings.
Lack of availability to EARN Dylithium Crystals through conscientious play (I have been very good at logging in EVERY COUPLE HOURS throughout the entire event to squish tribbles) is a MAJOR issue for this phase, and there is no way I can see getting anywhere close to enough without spending more clams on extras (like the Lab/Refinery/Mine), which is just NOT GOING TO HAPPEN (especially at such a late phase in the game)….
My “Apparent Extra Fun” vs “TinyCo Greed” meter is off the scale this time around…..
WTD CLAMS:
Spock (Character) – 265 Clams
Worf (Character) – 260 Clams
Guinan (Character) – 200 clams
Q (Character) – 200 Clams
Planet Kronos – 25 Clams
Planet Vulcan – 100 Clams
Uranus Mystery Box: 100 Clams (X4 actual items = 400 minimum clams)
Heranus Mystery Box: 75 Clams (X6 actual items = 450 minimum clams)
Hisanus Mystery Box: 100 Clams (X4 actual items = 400 minimum clams)
Observation Deck – 100 clams (x2 available = 200 clams)
Assimilation Room – 150 clams (x2 available = 300 clams)
Racquetball Court – 175 clams (x2 available = 350 clams)
Red Shirt Dorm – 125 clams (x2 available = 250 clams)
McBurger Town Outpost – 150 clams (x2 available = 300 clams)
Cybernetics Lab – 400 clams (x2 available = 800 clams)
Fuzzball bay – 200 clams (x2 available = 400 clams)
Decompression Chamber – 175 clams (x2 available = 350 clams)
Starfleet Academy – 100 clams
Starfleet Research Facility – 100 clams
Starfleet Medical Center – 120 clams
Dilithium Lab – 200 clams
Dilithium Refinery – 400 clams
Dilithium Mine – 700!!! clams
If I didn’t miss anything….. That is almost 7000 clams (minimum, because you know ya aren’t getting mystery box items on the first try) one would need to spend in order to fully experience this event SO FAR (not including ANY rushing of tasks at all).
On top of all that, without you guys here at the Addicts, our confusion and disappointment with this event would be even worse. I just do not understand how anyone gets any enjoyment out of the game without all of your awesome supplements and helpful explanations, and that is just a ridiculous way to develop/sustain a game platform.

Sorry should have read: without sending anyone on any away missions/ i.e down to the planets.
Spock does not help fight Bertram, he only(at this stage in the game) helps with getting Data, I’m massive TOS fan, that’s the only reason I got him.

I’m having a lot of problems with drops. for the most part since they’ve fixed things a couple times. but I have the 2 rooms going for phaser energy, 2 rooms for transporter, 2 for synthesizer, and 2 for life support. I’ve had zero drops all night! same with the book for quagmire. ugh

WTD on sunscreen and antivirus drops! They are too rare! Not doing so great on cat food either. Got Picard only because I got the deal for 25 dark matter. I have 19 dark matter now. Increase the drop rates Tiny Co!

I’m pissed I spent all the clams to buy the space burger town because I was under the belief that I needed 80 life support energy to unlock the holodeck I wouldn’t have wasted all the clams if I would have know you were going to drop it to 20 please reimburse me I’m a daily player and have spent a lot of money for clams and have all the characters including all the premium characters I feel like I got ripped off

Hey there… just so you are aware, we are NOT TinyCo. If you are interested in asking for reimbursement for a Clam purchase, you will need to go to your game menu and send them an in game messaging. Just an FYI… kindness goes a long way. 😉

just curious.. how is everyone getting picard so quickly? i’m having trouble progressing through the battles using just geordi and chris. i’m at level 3 and i can’t win this one without clams and some luck. i’m saving up for picard but i’m not sure how i’m expected to keep going with 2 characters.. unless i’m missing something?
also wanted to verify – – you can’t use star trek stewie without having regular stewie first, correct? didn’t want to replicate him yet if that was the case.
thanks!

You can not use him… however, if you create him now… he will stay in “limbo” til you unlock Stewie later, so if you still want the Costume for later

yeah, I liked the fact that I could place it in storage.. but if I can’t use him now, I figured it was low importance for the moment.. since i desperately need another fighter for bertram (sp?). getting regular stewie feels more difficult than all of the star trek characters combined! whew! don’t know how y’all did it! 🙂

It took forever, that’s how. Seriously those plutonium rods took weeks to get. The Bertram battle seems to be weighted to premium and advanced players. If you can consider getting Guinan 1-3 damage. You can get through all three phases with just those 3 characters. The bonus 25 dark matters with 9.99 clam purchase were a huge boost to getting Picard early and he does 2-3 damage.

Spend 9.99 on clams and get 25 Dark matter. That’s how people are getting him already, including me.

This event is burning me out on the game. 😦 The drop requirements are so ridiculously high and the drop rates so abysmal that I’m pretty sure I’m not going to finish it on time or even get everything at all. I love FG and Star Trek and this game so it should have been perfect but instead Im just more and more stressed out every day.

WHAT THE DEUCE….I get back from a celebration, then knowing I only have Geordie and Klingon Chris, banging bertrum, annd having only 5 hours left on #3 round I end up with 5 pts. Left on bertrum so sending the only 2 with 2 max apiece and 5 points left means no deal, so now spend clams…………….200 clams if you want to continue…………..WTD.

Keep restarting your device if you can’t upgrade to latest update. We are seeing this with many on the lower versions of the app having this issue.

My wtd is that it takes less energy to unlock phase 5 than phase 4. I just got to phase 4 and I still need 25 energies to unlock it. I’m going to get to phase 5 before I manage to unlock phase 4. Wtd why can’t they change the number needed for phase 4 as well. No way am I going to get everything unlocked now

Hi all,
So far so good for me. I have unlocked Picard and talosian stewie. Woop woop!
I’m also having good luck with bertram. I have defeated the 3rd twice now.
29/150 dark matter. Kirk will come soon.
My wtd is about data, getting anti virus software is almost impossible. I have peter, Dr crusher & Herbert on the 2 hour missions non-stop since Fri morning. I only managed 7. I know it says rare but come on! Sound be extra rare. I hope the rate improves. Herbert is the worst, he only managed 1. 😢

Data is a lot harder, is it just me or is getting anti virus software is almost impossible. I have sent peter, Dr crusher & Herbert on missions non-stop since Fri morning. Herbert’s dropping rate is terrible. All I have is 6. I know it says rare but come on! Should be extra rare.
