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….every time I have multiple Gold Cookie Trucks in my game…the game crashes! And when I reload the I lose out on the second truck, only ones there. Not cool man!
–WHAT THE DEUCE….what’s with drivers once the weather turns nice? It’s like they suddenly forgot how to drive or they’re in their own little world. People I don’t care what time of the year it is…just drive your car correctly.
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 
This week I am going to get it all off my chest 😉
Really starting to hate the character drag and drop. 90% of the time when I try to scroll from one end of my town to the other I drag some unsuspecting soul in the opposite direction instead. So annoying, I really wish there was a switch to turn it off!
Close second in the annoying race: the character finder. I look through my characters to see if I missed any to help out with some stuff or other, and I find one and send them on a task – and the locator jumps back to the beginning and I have to browse through every single one again to get to the ones I haven’t looked at yet. Why can’t I just continue where I left off???
And I am not even going into the scarcity of space to put things in. I don’t know why I am still trying to win more stuff in this event if it goes straight into storage anyway. Maybe there’s still a glimmer of hope that one day I will be able to proudly display everything I earned, and show off all my “battle scars” 😉

hi. I’ve been having an issue that prevents me from playing the game. Everytime I go to scroll or zoom out to Mr Washee’s drycleaning store, which has been built but not yet tapped on to actually bring it into the game, it kicks me out each and everytime. every now and then an error message flashes up for a second as it kicks me out and says Error: bad_function call or something like that.
I have forced stopped, restart my ANDROID phone, uninstall/reinstall, latest update, strong Wi-Fi connection.
It only started happening after I started sending goons to fort Knox and ready to open the drycleaners after the build time.
Please help me.
I cannot move over to the little block I built both Fort Knox and Mr Washee’s on which is almost opposite the nightclub.

I’m having every problem under the sun right now. Waiting for tubas, too many different types of goons to hire all at once, and my rank on the leaderboard is dropping like a rock right now. Until now I’ve been well able to at least get Zoot Suit Stewie, but I’m dropping more than 1000 spots per day. It’s impossible to keep up when you can’t progress quests like this.
I’m guessing/hoping TinyCo will give an option down the road to let players get the prizes they missed out on, maybe a mystery box, but this is what I was afraid of with a leaderboard in this game. It’s adding an element of stress on top of the already stressful event. I’ve decided to give up now and just wait out the event. I’ll take my time trying to unlock characters so I at least have something for my effort, but I’m sick of fighting a losing battle for a few skins. There’s nothing fun about it anymore.

Wow this is a bad WTD week for TC as this is my second as well (never posted one before)!!! I finally decide to bin off C Jr. in the hope TinyCo will see the light and either change it to ALWAYS like they did with space condoms in Star Trek (just after I saved and used 60) or they add a couple character tasks, or even better pull the plug on tubas!!! But now Fort Knox is glitched with apparently being able to smash 50 and 75% before 25% WTD!!!!! Next someone is going to stay the raid is glitched might as well go for the hat trick!!! Oh on a side note TC were more than quick enough to push through a rep reduction patch on the deco again this week as one of them has dropped from 35 to 10, im sure its just a tick box to move tubas from Uncommon (ha yea right) to Always.

The Fort Nox task is a % count down. The first check off part is 75% left (25% gone), next 50% of Ft. Nox left (50% down), then 25% left (75% down) & last Ft. Nox is defeated with 0% left (100% gone). Visualize the % defeat opposite of how you first understood it.

WTD? We have characters on in-event tasks who aren’t earning in-event cookies and fedoras but just regular coins and XP. Shouldn’t they be shifted to in-event currency while collecting stuff for the event? Otherwise we have to pull some of them off tasks that do earn cookies and fedoras to do tasks that don’t, which doesn’t make a lot of sense. Is it supposed to be this way? I’ve only been playing since Star Trek so I don’t know if this is normal or not.

Yes, this is always a bit annoying but persists.
Note that some of this can be countered by just using buildings for the drops or other characters – eg, I don’t bother sending Joe for Meteor Hammers and just rely on Meg and the Police Department. And there is no point sending Chris or Lois for Ang Lee shirts until there is some progress with the other three items – relying only on Herbert for them is keeping up (or keeping behind, rather!) with the others.

So, I’m going to WTD in a different direction because I finally got my Tubas and Cleveland Jr.
But I ask…has TinyCo learned nothing? This week, we have Mr. Wishee Washee, who requires 15 “Common” Shirts and 12 “Rare” Videotapes for Mr. Wishee Washee. In my game, the Shirts are dropping for me at an Uncommon rate or worse (I have 3 shirts after about 8 Gurl Scout attacks.) With a “Common” drop, I’d expect it to be 6 out of 8. Which makes me think that Rare videotapes are going to end up behaving like “Epic” drops. And we need 12 of them? Good luck to us all.
Then for added salt on the wound, the Fort Nox attacks are going to consume so many Goons. Without knowing how much each round is going to increase, I anticipate that about 4 days of non-stop Goon hiring will be needed for Fort Nox alone, just to earn the 4 Sprays that MWW will require.
So, to me, it looks like MWW will take about 2 weeks for a freemium player to unlock. And what did they do? MWW is needed to complete Pt. 8 of the primary questline. This is not a repeat of the Cleveland Jr. fiasco, it’s the same mistake doubled down.
C’mon TinyCo. Do the math. Or just do away with drop percentages entirely and just make EVERY item an ALWAYS drop.

WTD is up with this event?! After buying $50 worth of clams last week and using up half already, I had to take a step back. SO glad this site is around… I can clearly see I’m not alone in my frustrations. I’ve seen Alyssa and Bunny tell frusterated players in the past “don’t worry you still have XX days left in the event.” So I’ve always taken this advise. Until yesterday, when the casino minigame left and the new one replaced it (I was on the last stage of my fourth optional raid). And then fort nox. And then collecting shoes. And then Washee Washee. Not to mention the awful tuba drops. It’s just insanely overwhelming. (And trucks and gold trucks and gurl scout girls and and and and…)
So I’ve decided I won’t be spending any more clams on this event, and let the chips fall where they may. I’ve been a loyal player since the day the game came out last April, and have never really had any complaints about the game until now. I guess I can’t blame TinyCo, the idea is to make money and I’m sure this event is doing just that (the global leaderboard and having prizes attached to it based off your global ranking is genius. It’s why I’ve spent so much real money up to this point).
All I can say is I hope future events aren’t so clam heavy (I don’t mind buying clams; I’ve bought quite a few). There’s no way I’ll keep playing if this is the direction things are going.

I only started playing the game a few months back, but I just a day or 2 ago finished clearing all of the (pay to unlock) territories (the non district kind) I have still yet to unlock districts 9-11 so I still have a need for my coins, right now I am saving them up for all of the future buildings and land to clear, but from what I gather people who have been playing this game for a long time have been clamoring for around 6 months that they need more space to put there buildings and decos, well since each major event produces more then a dozen new buildings and a few dozen decos, it would make sense that sometime in the near future they will give in to demand and give players more land to build on, but that land will need to be unlocked with coins, the last and most expensive non-district piece of land I unlocked cost me 120k in coins, so depending on how much land they give us, you may end up needing those coins to unlock that new territory, if Tinyco puts a price of 120k+ per land section, you may end up needing 2 million or more to unlock all of that territory, (again it all depends on how much land they give us and what they charge to unlock each piece)
So don’t despair too much because at the end of this event you may find that you don’t have enough coins to unlock every piece of land but since each piece will most likely take 24 hrs+ to unlock you may find yourself logging in every 1-2 hrs to collect those coins.

I’m down to about 2700 cookies since buying just Fort Nox, the laundromat, and a few decos that will be needed in the quest line if by some miracle I get 12 more tubas for dancing Junior. I did accidentally overbuy cherry trees (an extra two for 500 cookies total). But that’s a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to what Patricia needs.

I completely agree this is by far the worst engineered game so far. I’ve never had issues with crashing or many of the other problems often complained here. This one though, horrible. Kicks me out every 3-10 minutes since the beginning. And just when I finally started getting tubas after they fixed that fiasco, now I can’t get them because of shirts. Crazy frustrating. Tiny Co has to be losing a lot of money on this event. I would normally start spending clams on things by week 2 of events, but not this time. Not spending one penny until this mess is cleaned up. I’ll just be a freemium player until it gets better. Too bad too, means I’ll miss some good characters I would love to buy.

It took me up until now to get 10 tubas, and that’s 3 days after the so called “patch to increase”. This is going to be impossible unless I spend LOTS of clams.

So another useless skin, too much stuff and far to long to get them, play every hour and look at how low you are on the leader board, playing you against other players, got very annoyed when they brought the recent tasks for the loyal players who spent real money giving myself and others the chance for bonus stuff but only if you spend more money, or you have got no chance of getting them, that was a real slap in the face. This game is no longer fun but a long drawn out task, so joining the hoards of fans jumping ship and saying no more of my cash or time and goodbye from me. Would like to finish by saying thanks Alissa and Bunny, you have done a great job and helped many times. So good luck in the future to you both a couple of smashing girls, and to the long suffering players still trying. Will still be around on the boards but only on TSTO a game that still knows how to have fun.

They should have at least reduced the number of tubas needed. What’s even more frustrating is I was on track to get the bronze house but at this rate I’ll be lucky if I get spot suit stuwie.

That’s a (bleep) of a separation from 1 to 2. And I am at a mere 6,141. I thought i was doing well. I hate that TinyCo has changed this game from the casual “build your own Quahog” to a competition slaughter fest. I want the chance to earn all the stuff on my own, not because I’m a certain spot in a race!! I don’t have expendable income, so I’m denied having the Don because I’m not spending enough real world money to bump my place in a race?
Not happy with what his game has become. I love it so much, but do not like games that compete for prizes. I want to earn things like it used to, on my own pace within the time allowed, not because 21,000 people ahead of me somehow deserve them more than me. I play every day, log in multiple times a day, and keep up with each leg of events etc. I should have the same right to earn the top prizes. Like King Butt etc. I had them because I played the game and earned them. But not because I beat other players to them.

Hacked to get tons of clams, plain and simple. Loser thieves make it hard for all of us who play with honesty and been playing loyally since the very beginning. I used to love and enjoy playing this game but it is getting to the point that it isn’t fun anymore. After this event is over I’m joining in with all the players that will no longer play as much, nor spend more if this continues to be more of a competition rather than a fun and relaxing game to look forward to. Does TinyCo care anymore, or have we become just a number? Bunny and Alissa have been so helpful and supportive, and it’s not their fault that TinyCo has become greedy. SMH!

My WTD this week is I got banned from the leaderboards. I have always played legit. Never once have I done anything outside the game at any point. I play it as it comes from TinyCo via Google Play. With no reply back yet on why I was banned I can only speculate.
It was EITHER: the 109 hedges I picked up for future use during week 1 before they took away the mob rep. (oooo a whole 327 mob rep!…) As far as the hedges and deco’s that give hats in general.. I have seen a few comments here and there that some are being banned for buying them. How can they put them in the game and be surprised when people buy them? Especially those with cookie machines. How can something they put in the game without limits be abused? If they have a number in mind on these items that would be legit, why not place a limit so you can only purchase X of them before they’re not available to you anymore? or make their price increase? Or just have them not give you hats at all! Otherwise WTD!? Don’t put something helpful in the game and be mad that people take you up on the offer. That’s a real *&^(%^ move.
OR: I got the 24hr challenge this week before it was fixed to only show to paying players. My game is freemium. The challenge hit at the right time as I was already in the middle of the optional run, and had a full queue of luchadors with most walking around already. I was able to finish the challenge with a little under 6 hours to spare and I didn’t use any clams. The next day I was banned? I know one other player posting here finished the challenge with no clams and was also banned about the same time I was. So maybe that’s it? Maybe they just didn’t expect anyone to be able to get through there without laying down clams. I looked around the posts here, the other site, reddit, and even waded through facebook… I did not see anyone else say they made it through with no clams. Mostly a lot of people unhappy they weren’t even able to attempt the challenge because of where they were in the casino, and a small number that made it but had to spend some number of clams. So I don’t know which thing triggered the ban, but I played fair on both. And if I got banned for either of these and it’s upheld if they ever even see my message? That’s beyond WTD.
Bunny. Alissa. Thanks for this site. Thanks for letting us vent. I feel like the game devs should have to come take shifts moderating this site and answering questions. Maybe if they had to deal with and interact with the players like you do, they’d collectively work harder to fix the constant issues this game has. And maybe invest in a calculator. It is ALWAYS something with this game. I often wonder if they are actively seeking to shed players…

I think it was possible to do the 24 hour challenge freemium if you were nearly through or just finished the first optional raid on the casino (I wasn’t , so I didn’t have time especially since money bags were dropping very very slowly). I think Bunny said that it seemed possible with lucky timing. The casino raid required was the real bottleneck. Of course a few clams used to speed up things would have worked fine.

Just wait it out maybe… I’ve been banned and unbanned from leaderboards 3 times now without a single action on my part; didn’t contact TinyCo or anything. I have no idea what I’ve done wrong (if anything) so I’m just muddling my way through the event and hoping I stay unbanned until it ends (currently unbanned!)

Yeah I keep hoping I’ll magically become unbanned but no luck so far. I keep checking, but it keeps on saying I’m banned. I’m still moving along and I’ll get what I get.

Yes it’s weird how we both luckily completed the 24hr challenge and both purchased roughly 100 hedges…
But still beyond unfair as like u say that’s terrible to put a feature in the game with no limits then ban people when they use it. That’s pretty much ENTRAPMENT
I’ve seen other people say they bought hedges and didn’t get banned, so I’m hoping its a mistake. Like I said in my wtd theyre telling us not to play the game TOO well or they label u a cheater
Last nite tiny co responded to my msg about tuba drops and that was sent a day b4 I got banned. So here’s hoping they see the latest message soon

Hey, glad to hear you got a reply on something, hope they get back to you on the leaderboard soon. If it was the decos, I doubled down on it because I have a small bamboo forest now. I figure if they added new decos to the game with mob rep, then I should be able to buy some again. Right? Right. Just under 12K now 🙂

I thought once each part unlocks we can buy a new RV to get more goons with cookies. That’s what happened week 1 and 2 but not week 3?

Unless it unlocks more spots in the queue, I don’t see the point. There’s already too much to spend cookies on and they don’t accumulate fast enough. Plus, if we want Tricia’s skin we have to take some characters off cookie earning tasks to collect stuff.

WTD!?! I have been very patient until now but, unfortunately, I’m on the bandwagon with everybody else. This event has become frustrating, too expensive, and a chore rather than a fun game. I am a premium player and it is simply too costly to keep up with the weekly content much less the leaderboard. I understand that it’s a money making venture, as it should be, but how much money is it going to make the company when there’s a mass exodus of players that stop playing altogether because of events like this?
SPECIFIC TO THIS EVENT, I think there are a couple of overall issues:
The Leaderboard caused a great deal of tension from the start. The game went from competing against the clock and challenging yourself to a global competition. This isn’t supposed to be an MMORPG if that’s what they’re attempting to mimic. App players like us aren’t comfortable with that, especially given the ongoing improprieties.
There are too many multi-layer activities. Collect this to build that to clear this obstacle numerous times just to get through the main questline. But then, due to limited resources, you have to choose between finishing the questline or unlocking characters UNLESS you are willing to spend a lot more money than in previous events to achieve both.
If this is where the game is headed, Tiny Co is about to lose the average premium player which from my experience provides the market share of income generating apps. Just my opinion…

Like everyone else says… TUBAS… c’mon!!
The Luchadors take way too long to get/hire with the amount of them needed for everything, especially since the gurl scouts don’t drop anything.
Also, does anyone know how to delete a current conversation, or start a new one from the in-game contact? When I hit the contact button, that same old conversation keeps coming up, want to delete that so to ask different unrelated question, can’t see a way to do it.
Thanks

Randy- I have the same problem (iPhone 5a, iOS 8.3). In a prior event, there were buttons to click to either say you were done, your question was answered, and to start a new conversation. I see the same thing you describe, the message bubbles just keep accumulating although it says they were sent. I think they’re just overwhelmed. I would just keep sending when needed and not worry about it, although there’s also an e-mail address somewhere.

The water pressure at the facility where I work was messed up yesterday. The sinks at full flow had thin streams and the toilets wouldn’t flush with one exception. There was one toilet that sounded like Niagra falls cause the water kept flowing in double time, it was in a constant state of flushing! Thankful someone fixed it, cause water is vital to the job I do.

WTD log on hourly, wake up during the night, deal with terrible drops rates and spend clams to speed up impossible to complete 24 hour challenges only for them to ban me from the leaderboard for no reason and refuse to give me an explanation.
I know you can’t comment on bans bit had to vent.
If they don’t reinstate me that will be the end of me playing this game. I have been a player since day once but won’t stand for them cheating me out of what I have worked and paid real money for.

Exactly they are punishing us for playing the game too well (I have been banned also. with constantly grinding day and night to get in the top 2000)
Seems to be common with U, me and Mike R, that we all completed the 24hr challenge
Like u if this totally unfounded ban isn’t lifted id never buy clams again. And then they’ve lost a number of loyal paying customers

Interesting. Were you banned the day after finishing the 24hr challenge? Craigmufc and myself were banned right about the same time. Had you also bought some of the hedges when they were dropping hats?
Did you message TinyCo and get no reply, or did they reply with no explanantion?

I also finished the 24h challenge, though I had to spent quite a lot of clams on it. And I also got banned. But I never bought any hedges before the ban.

Buying decorations have nothing to do with it, unless they were bought with hacked Cookies/Clams. It is other mechanics in the game. All we can suggest is to contact them.

Everybody should give this event a 1 when the poll comes out. Wild goose chase tasks hiring goons that give you nothing, having to hire excessive amounts of goons each week wasting more time, having to take down Fort Nox repeatedly to get an item to unlock Mr. Washee Washee, and then the take down quests to get stars. How does TinyCo expect us to do all this through hiring goons, which takes forever to employ?
There’s only 24 hours in a day and I’ve been working every moment of the day hiring Luchadores to unlock Cleveland Jr. I don’t have any time left to hire anybody else. Now I need them to get shirts.
The only way TinyCo can fix this is if it only requires 1 goon to finish a job. This 2-3 goons per task to hopefully get an item makes this event impossible and frustrating. The time limit to create a goon to manage that time correctly should be the challenge, but TinyCo doubled down the complexity by needing multiples of a character to make it as easy as untying a Gordian Knot. Nothing in this event can be accomplished.
