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….I have to have the worst garbageman on the planet. 9 times out of 10 he doesn’t take the trash that’s in the bin. And when he does he gets selective about what he takes. So he’ll leave bags of trash in the middle of our driveway! Seriously what the frak dude?!
–WHAT THE DEUCE….what was with the Warehouse Raids?! The Mob Rep completely stopped dropping on the last part cutting me out of at least 1500 Mob Rep….
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 
WTD Tiny Co! It’s great that the new Italian Assassin goons have the highest amt of attack points but it’s nearly impossible to fit in the 1.5 hrs needed to make them! There isn’t enough time in a day already, to hire all the different types of goons needed for this event! We need another queue! I might even be willing to spend a few clams, just to have another running/ongoing simultaneous queue. I still need 11 golf balls and 13 tubas to unlock Cleveland Jr! I’m sinking fast! Help!!! SOS Sending smoke signals. 😀

Only just been able to unlock week three.
Still only 2 Tubas.
The leaderboard was always going to be dominated by £££ but this is ridiculous.

Apologies for being a killjoy and for rambling on, but I’m getting fed up with this game, the concepts good don’t get me wrong (I’ve played it long enough) but I’m now sick and tired of:
The glitches:
– every event has to be more complicated than its predecessor, resulting in endless problems, crashes, re-do’s of tasks, patches, apologies from TinyCo and umpteen “hang on in there, don’t worry” messages from you 2 fantastic ladies, oh & “A very Happy Birthday to Alissa, but don’t drink too much of the falling down juice :-)”
“Idle” characters, either paid for or gained for free:
– they’re hardly ever used again so just sit festering & decaying in my inventory or wandering aimlessly round my overcrowded Quahog like a horde of Zombies (if I wanted to see that I’d go down my local boozer)
Tasks relying on tasks, or multiple quests relying on the same stuff:
– I need Goons for this & Goons for that, Luchadors for this & Luchadors for that.
Now I need Goons & Luchadors to take down Fort Knox, but I also need them to unlock Junior by beating up girl scouts trundling little wooden trucks round Quahog like the rag & bone men from the brilliant “Steptoe & Son” but don’t drop the Tubas. I still need them to hijack golden trucks that are meant to appear for 4 hours, once every 24 hours so I can get fight promoter Cleveland but now I’ve got 4 of them driving round like Crunchie bars with wheels, &
No doubt I’ll need them for that Oriental Takeaway Garden thingy that suddenly replaced the Casino, I ain’t ventured in there yet for fear of Goon & Luchador hell!!!!
The Leaderboard:
– Hah don’t get me started on that, the concept may have sounded good in the mind of the TinyCo developer but it’s caused no end of frustration, disbelief, anger and calls of “cheat” from EVERY person who’s playing the game, except of course Número Uno, who somehow has 190,999 hats at the time I penned this
No offence meant but are you serious, I’d love to be a $ or £ behind you in the bank when you pick up your “must be an extremely large pay packet” because you must have spent thousands to get that result, & please don’t think wrong of me A & B but your message “don’t fret or worry, TinyCo are policing it” is wearing thin now
Well, my long rant is over, please feel free to moderate away 🙂 & if it doesn’t get posted then c’est la vie, I got it off my chest….
….now let’s get back to hijacking Crunchies, stomping on Steptoe & Son & digging up Zombies, oh and of course, pondering what it would be like to have 185,363 more hats than I have now 😉

Some people really do have loads of real money and choose to spend it on games. No different than spending on fancy cars, fancy dinners, fancy booze, fancy electronics, private jets. Just think of them as the reason the rest of us can be cheapskates and not spend a dime or a pence. They’re the “whales” (real word) who make the game profitable enough that the rest of us can play free if we want. As a cheapskate plankton (not even qualifying as a minnow) who won’t let loose of a single hard-earned clam from my tiny stash in this event (kind of pointless, considering how the leaderboard works), I am grateful to the whales. Long may they splurge!!!

I agree with your point of view in many ways LNG but
I can’t help though that I always try to look at both sides of situations. I remember not so long ago when MANY players were getting bored, and asking for harder challenges. I think TinyCo tried to do that; fulfill the needs and wants of players at that time. Perhaps, starting with the roll out of Star Trek. Of course there were, and still are, major issues with the execution of events, but I believe there are many employees over there who work hard to try and provide what we players ask for/need/want. I don’t want to put down those who work hard. Those that grind! From what I know, there are many employees who are just simply overworked and underpaid. Anyhow, not justifying it just saying, there are still many at TinyCo that don’t make the big bucks, can only do so much in a day with the staff allocated to FGQFS, and are trying to help out the best they can. So when I vent at TinyCo I really vent to the owners! They need to know they have to take more out of their pockets, hire more staff, pay better salaries to draw experienced employees, so many issues really, but it all starts at the top! IMO, it’s the owners who need to step back and look at the bigger picture. They undoubtedly, and consistently, put pressure on their staff to meet bigger sales goals. Well, I say stop being so greedy for a minute and make it your priority to address and fix the issues, that are preventing your game from running smoothly! If you fix these things, the money will follow naturally.

Sorry put some of these comments elsware should have been on here. Girl scouts not giving out tubas, then tiny say they have fixed it but to annoy you more we are getting the girl scouts giving out dirty shirts to make it even harder, oh and the wrestlers are needed to attack the scouts, also needed to attack the asian garden and Fort Knox to realy realy annoy you, reading comments I am not the only one finding this infuriating. Tiny are turning a lot of players off with there recent update, to long winded, too much stuff, and to hard to get it, and a load of new buildings not needed as have loads and loads of buildings in inventory as they refuse to give out more land and I like to see a nice town with roads, not like some of my neighbours with buildings rammed in like sardines. Game has lost its fun element and has become a task. Nothing against you two girls you are doing a great job, and saved me missing out several times on timed events, but Tiny have fumbled the ball with this one. Finaly I thought Tiny were clamping down on cheaters, come on top of leaderboard, which most hate, have nearly 200000. I have just got my 25 clams and play regular.

As a word of comfort: I think the Gurl Scouts only give out dirty shirts when it’s a slot not destined to be filled by a tuba. So we won’t lose any more tubas than usual. Poor Junior is dancing his little heart out, since I still need 17 tubas to unlock the little fellow. He will be skinny as a rail by the end of this event.

First of all I HATE tubas right now 2/20!!! 2nd I understand why they can’t but I wish the leader board could constantly refresh it’s just a little depressing to go from 5500 place to 20000 place suddenly. Also it’s really hard to prioritise I really find I just don’t have enough time when I need 6 goons for boxing gloves, 2 wrestlers for the Girl Scouts which don’t drop and then I need even more wrestlers for the casino. I haven’t been able to do the extra casino takeovers which is probably why I’m currently around 20000 th place. I don’t think I like the global leader boards much I find them stressful I think tinyco may have underestimated how popular their game is, well at least they’ll be happy to know how many play this game.

WTD, Tubas may not be dropping, but it’s not like golf balls are coming fast either…at a drop rate of 1 in 7…it’s going to take another week to get just the golf balls…ugggg…and not a word about help for those of us who were locked out for days…starting to think they let sloppy coding slide knowing they will have problems, but hoping people will buy clams to catch up…I used to like the Family Guy game much more than the Simpsons, but TSTO has stepped up their game and T-co is literally crashing.

So Today I found out that I lost a huge amount of clams, maybe around like 150 or so, even though I haven’t spent my clams on anything I don’t know how all of a sudden, I lost so many clams. I had over 300 clams and now I just found out I have around 70 left. I didn’t spend my clams on anything.

You know I don’t take anything seriously, it’s just a game! but judging by some of the comments here, there’s a lot of unhappy people 😠 can’t blame them, especially the ones who been spending 💰💱💲💵💴💶💷💸💲 hard earned real money!
So I got to build some buildings to get masks, to hire lunchadors, to take out girl scouts, to get tubas, to unlock Cleveland junior. and after the event Cleveland junior wil be as much use as Santa, Phineas & Barnaby, star trek crew, Jillian, Jasper, the whole Smith family,etc. …..”yes Hayley, back in the van, see you in 24 hours” 🚙

I have had it with all these crashes and bugs. I have lost clams and lucadores due To crash issues. Tinyco either ignores my messages or sends a canned response. From now on I refuse to spend any more real money on this game. Their lack of response to players, some of whom have Been playing sinse the start and haVe spent quite a lot of real money is apalling.

Hey an update on tubas for everyone. NOTHING! All day today and one tuba drop. Wow what a screw up. But I am thinking it is not a screw up but a plan simple money thing. You know spend 200 ~ 300 clams and you can progress into week 3. Since jr. Has a required task to finish cookie crumble that means only those that spent the clams, (real money) will be moving on into the next week of the event. I am not going to be one of those because of TC not fixing the tubas.
When a FREE game becomes you must spend money in order to play, that is when I stop spending money. I know more of a personal thing but it is the way I play the games. If it is an option I spend money, but when required, I stop.
This event feels really half baked. Too many bugs, crashes and little fixes by TC. Not good for getting folks to stay involved.

Can someone confirm if it is true that you have to complete the Cookie Crumbles quest line to do the next mansion upgrade? I’ve seen it mentioned in the comment several times this week but I have a quest line “Life Styles of the Rich”, at part 4 it says Upgrade to Lavish Mansion, on the mansion it shows that the upgrade is at 6pm EST. I’m still at Cookie Crumbles part 7 as I don’t have Cleveland Jr to finish it. (6 of 20 tubas so a long way to go).

Let’s see 3-4 days of not being able to play the game when the event started off so promising and got us all excited. Never a word from TinyCo on any adjustments made for those of us who hung in there when probably at least 100’s of others uninstalled and quit the game.
Android users get the update and while other players are still waiting for theirs to be released or approved TinyCo releases the Leadership board positions creating a new concern for many players. Does TinyCo like drama? I’m starting to get the impression that they are treating this like a reality tv show where any attention is good attention. Leadership board prizes are cool and all but but the numbers don’t seem to reflect a players efforts more so than their $ contributions so I stopped caring about it the second day it was up.
It seems that every event has at least one item that’s required to progress through the main quest-line that regardless of what it’s deemed i.e. common, uncommon, rare etc they are unattainable and TinyCo drags their feet making adjustments so we can make progress. Right now our problem is the tubas excuse me the fraking tubas!! C’mon TinyCo knock it off already we aren’t paying clams for this especially when we need 20 of them!
Oh yeah let’s not forget a new challenge was released “Speed Feed Diabeto (Clams)”. I know that this is optional however it’s a 24 hour event and the first part is “Have Diabeto Overeat (12hrs)”, now I like most players I’m guessing really need Masks so we can hire Luchadors and one way to get those masks is to send Diabeto on a 24hr task to get one. This means that every person who did that has a zero chance to complete it without at the minimum using clams just to free up Diabeto.
The old TinyCo is new and small reasoning no longer applies here. It’s been over a year, if they are short-staffed hire people or be less ambitious in your events if you aren’t big enough to handle them.
Some businesses thrive on a high customer turnover rate perhaps that is the case here which would also explain why new characters almost appear disposable once the event in which they were acquired is over.
I’m a kind and patient individual but one can only smell bs so many times without finally acknowledging I SMELL IT, I SMELL IT. 🙂
Always thankful to Alissa and Bunny and the other addicts who post here.

Well said.
I’ve literally spent hundreds of dollars on this game (I’m starting to feel like a chump) and am getting close to calling it quits before I drop another cent on this mess. I’ve played a lot of games that have come and gone, but have never seen the neglect for players who are willing to spend money funding their project.
Freemium players should not be ignored, they are all potential premium players. The tuba drop is ridiculous and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I really don’t blame them for feeling like this is a premium player in disguise, he’s damn near impossible at the moment to get, without spending clams.
Tinyco: Should you happen to read this; get your act together or I’m gone. I know I’m only one person, but the general consensus seems to be a lot of frustration. I love this game and hope everything is resolved now and in the future, but people will only put up with so much.

Hey anyone getting tubas? I mean I have gotten a total of four so far and I have not even finished the casino runs yet so spending most of the masked men on clearing gurls. We’re these suppose to drop all the time or just uncommon as shown. Have not finished golf balls either.
As for the speed feeding….. Not a good idea. It basically requires spending clams on speed ups which is good for them,but not for most players. Plus making a courth run through the casino a requirement made it a no go right away for me.
As for leaderboard, I am sitting around 25000 now and have not been able to play much as I was in China on vacation and in planes for extended periods so playing just off and on. My issue not TC’s.
The gifts might be nice, but like the last event it looks like you are required to buy a building each week. That will have me going completely free soon. Not dropping another 50 – 60 bucks for an event again.
Fun game but turning into money grab.
