Mobsters Event Ending TODAY!

UPDATE 925PM EST: Reports after event of Characters “stuck” in a task and crashing when trying to clear it out by tapping on check mark. TinyCo is already on it. Will continue to monitor the situation.


UPDATE ON GRAND PRIZE: No worries, those that got all 4 Challenges the Grand Prize is still on its way. You will see when it hits and we will let you know here too. Stand by.

Hey there Mafioso!

It’s just about time to say goodbye to the lil friends. As the 3PM Pacific Timer is running down in our games, there are a few things you need to keep in mind…

MOBSTERS EVENT ENDS TODAY, JULY 9TH, 2015, @3PM PACIFIC

Say Farewell to Fatfather Pop Up


SPEND ALL EVENT CURRENCY

Gurl Scout Cookies

Event Currency is just that… currency ONLY for an Event. So when the Event goes, the Currency goes with it. So use up all the Gurl Scout Cookies you have left.

There are a LOT of cool looking Decoration options. Whether you want to try your luck in the Cookie Mystery Boxes or just outright purchase the items in the Decorations Tab (like the Bamboo and Cherry Blossom Trees), just use it or lose it when the Event goes.

Side Note: In order to be able to get MORE items, like the Trees and Bamboos, you will need to make sure all you have is IN your Quahog. That means you can’t have any stored away. The game is set up to avoid “accidental” duplicate purchase, so it will pull the items from your Inventory first, then allow you to purchase new ones once the Inventory is empty of that same item. So, if you have 100 Bamboo in storage and want more… you need to take the 100 Bamboo out of the Inventory Storage and place it in your town until you have purchased everything you want. Then you can Store it all again.

 


COMPLETE CHARACTERS

Mr Washee Washee Mob Wife Lois

Any Character not fully unlocked and walking around your Quahog will go away when the Event does. This means for Characters like Diabeto, Jr, Mr Washee Washee, etc. ANY Character that all the items are not acquired for and not completed will all go when the Event Ends at 3PM.

It is at this point you need to ask yourself, is it REALLY worth it to you to spend Clams to complete them and get them into your game? Or will it be better to just let them go? What will you be happy with 3 months from now?

 

Any Characters/Costumes that you DO have fully unlocked and in your Quahog are yours to keep once the Event ends.

 


MAKE FINAL PURCHASES

Japan Arcade Zoot Suit Shop

Any Premium items you have been debating on need to be purchased prior to the Event Ending. So if you’ve been holding off on a Building or a Character like Mr. Miyagi, now is the time to make that final decision. What will make YOU happy to have in your town? What won’t matter and you can just let it go?

 

Any Buildings that you already purchased with Clams or Cookies will be yours to keep after the Event.

 


FINAL SPIN IN MYSTERY BOXES?

Mafia Brian Mystery Box

Mafia Stewie Mystery Box Pop Up

Perfectly Legal Mystery Box

Triple 7 Mystery Box

Keep in mind the Mystery Boxes from the Event go with the Event too, so if there was something in there that you had your eye on… make sure you make that final decision of what is worth it to YOU to try for and what can just be let go of.

 


FINISH QUESTLINES

Good to Be a Gangster Part 1

Majority of the Questlines for the Event go when the Event does. This is mainly due to all the innerworkings of those Questlines require items that are only available within the Event (like Copahavan, Raids, Etc). So there will not be any further progress available for them after the Event.

A few may stick around, but this is usually just the Premium Characters that have an isolated side quest. Like Miyagi. We will know fully what stays once the Event ends.

 


DON’T WAIT!!

End of Event Mobile Pop Up

Give yourself enough time to complete all items. Do not put it off until the last minute as there always seems to be a rush in the game last minute and this can cause a lag. So don’t risk falling short on something if you are close. Finish it off or let it go.

 


MOB REP

Fedoras Mob Rep

If you are giving that final push to get ranked as high as you can, keep in mind that NO ONE will see any of Prizes until sometime next week. NO ONE has a specific date, time, or any further details on them beyond that. So there is no specifics to provide. When we see anything, you will see a post on our site about it.

 



REMEMBER: This is a HELPFUL post. Be respectful to the Addicts and the Addicts Guidelines and focus your rants/vents ONLY on What the Deuce. NOT HERE!! Otherwise, Contact TinyCo... the makers of the game for further concerns.  

If you need specific information on ANY of the Mobster Event Posts, go to the Mobsters Event page HERE. 



 

There you have it. A last minute look at the Mobsters Event.

What are you going to spend your last minute Cookies on? Gonna make any last attempts at the Mystery Boxes? Any suggestions to other Players debating on what to spend their Cookies on? Let us know.

  2. Out of this entire event, I’ve loved loved loved the decos – the trees are tiny so you can stash them in small spaces. And they’re pink! Yay. The bamboo also takes little room but hides the ugly buildings you need in your town. I didn’t bother with Bonnie despite only missing her by two lipsticks and instead got the lovely gold origami bird for my “Little Tokyo”

    • Simpsons is different, it is an App Market pull and you can avoid it by turning off auto update and push an extra few days out of it. TinyCo is NOT like that. Once the changeover hits, a pop up actually goes up in your game forcing the update in game… not by app market… and you can’t continue until you update. At most… at some rare times… you MIGHT get up to an extra hour. But… majority of time… 3PM and it is all gone.

  7. Finished ranked in the low 20k’s, which I think is pretty good for a F2P player, but then I thought about it another way…I got Lois about 16 hours before the event ended…didn’t even start all the final week stuff and still finished that high up. Week 1 I was in the top 10k, but then the dreaded tuba’s got me (and I’m sure a lot of others) behind…Stewie was always my end goal though so no biggie. Shame I didn’t get to do more…I even had planned to finish Fight Cleveland, but then I lost a few days to game crashing. I’ll try to send in a ticket to TinyCO, but I’ve sent 3 in the past and only got 1 reply (A Halloween Bug, they replied in March lol) so I expect nothing…

    Overall it was still fun. It’s nice seeing companies keeping the game busy…a lot get real stale real quick…

    This was by far one of the best events in terms of concept, content and strategy but ranks among the worst in execution due to the failed coding for tuba drops and the many, many glitches. It really is unfortunate that TinyCo can’t do a better job following through on what it sets out to do on these events. I hope a district that is completely thought out is next and we can get a long break from events until TinyCo figures out how to actually have one operate.

  10. I have been playing for over a year,I’ve played nearly all the events(I think my first was the full moon)each one I’ve enjoyed for different reasons weather I got the top prize or not,I was devastated not to get human Rupert first time around,but I was over the moon to get Cleveland in his event.ive got all the individual prizes this time and I’m about 17000 or so in the high score board ,so I ain’t done to bad but all that said I haven’t liked this event at all, why? Wheel I’ll tell you, 20000 cookies for trisha’s skin(the rest I got easyish) the undo able timed tasks(I couldn’t do any).What really annoyed me was the blatant cheating of some of my fb friends(?)how some of them piled on cookies at a stunning rate ,was no one watching? .i did like that not all the event buildings were clam purchases.The only up side was that as usual I had this site to go to for help and got to vent at least once a week,if only you two could make an event for us.

  11. All I’m going to say is if I don’t get another Gold Cookie Truck to spawn in my town before 3pm today, I am driving up to San Francisco and expressing my frustration in person. I’ve had 6 goons wandering in search of that truck for over an hour (so it’s been 4+ hours since the last one spawned) and I’m only short 3 freaking boxing gloves for Cleveland’s skin. No option to bridge the gap with clams, either. I’ve made peace with missing out on week 5 stuff and being sadly short on cookies for multiple mystery box attempts, and even with losing my hard-earned leaderboard ranking. But by God, if I don’t get those last 3 boxing gloves because the trucks aren’t spawning like they should…..

I’ve had everything for tricia except the cookies for a couple of weeks and can’t get her, it’s not fun. Too many different goons to hire and too many things running around. They should have had just a new one a week. I’ve never seen a company that can take a game that’s suppose to be fun and an easy distraction and turn it into misery. TinyCo needs to wake up quick or this game is going the way of the dinosaurs.

  19. While I am sorry that there are people that had major issues and are unhappy, I am so glad this event is ending. Based on the comments I have seen, in every single posting, the only thing an extension would have done is create a whole new set of issues for people to be unhappy about!!

    Even with all the glitches and issues, the concept of this event has been fun. If everything had worked as it was supposed to, the game mechanics were fun, too, except the goon creation process could use some tweaking. I liked the concept of the raids, but not so much the various characters that were constantly roaming the streets. I though having 4 chumba wumbas or a handful of dogs wandering the streets was annoying, but all the trucks, gurl scouts,couriers, etc was too much!

    And ladies, as always, thank you so much for your time and effort. As I have said on several occasions, there is no way I could do what you do with the grace and patience you exhibit. I would have done a major rant accompanied by a fare thee well and a mic drop long ago! Take some well deserved time off and relax. Find your happy and then come back!

  20. So glad it’s almost over. I have enough cookies right now to get either Tricia or Bonnies outfit, but still trying to decide which. I know that neither of them will probably be used again so I’m just not sure yet. I’m kind of leaning towards just getting Bonnie because I think the 20K cookies for Tricia is way too many when they didn’t provide a great way to rack up a lot of cookies this week. A lot of people weren’t even able to get to the week 5 content but the Don streak payout was not near enough for the amount of time it took without using clams to speed up the goons. It would have been nice to see the payout go up each time the streak was kept up after hitting the 5X. All things considered I think 10K would’ve been more reasonable for Tricias outfit.

    I’m currently eligible for Prize 3 on the leaderboard but if I slide back to Prize 4 I am good with that since the bronze house doesn’t really interest me. After I choose between Bonnie or Tricia, whoever is left will be the only freemium earn-able character available that I didn’t get. I also got Consuela and did not have her in my game before. I did not buy any premium characters, and didn’t try to get Burn out Brian or Clevelands outfit. I used about 135 earned clams total on the event, 125 on the arcade for washee’s items and the rest for speeding up a few tasks. I did get 70 back between the individual prizes and one of the facespace groups. Could have had another 25 clams from the spooner street set if they had’t put Brian in there with them. Oh well.

  21. I’m glad this event is ending because it was awful. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. It was like Murphy’s Law on overdrive. The only good thing I got out of it was Consuela for free and I still haven’t been able to get into the game since the 24 Don timer ran out.

    I don’t know how locked out players are going to be able to start the next event since the game is built to load the current event before removing it, which is dumb. So until TinyCo fixes this load problem Android players are SOL.

I would of been able to finish and got Bonnie and Tricia outfits. Spent a decent amount of $$$ also and not a peep from TinyCo addressing the issues, at least on their FB page. *sigh* very sad here as I feel I got ripped off for my entertainment.. 😦

    I wish they extend it or have the ability to get the characters that we did get a chance too.

Well I hope this event was a learning process for them and apply that to the next event…Until the next one! Game on!

    • I agree, this has been very poorly handled with all of the crashing issues. I am still about 4 hours away from unlocking week 5, was just never able to catch up after the issues up front. I even sent them a very detailed message regarding the issues I was having in the first two weeks and never got a response. They need to extend this event for two weeks to allow everyone to try and catch up. I just hope they don’t decide to tell us that they are extending at 3:01 when we’ve all spent all of our cookies t ring to beat the clock………

    I mean, it’s all moot since I haven’t been able to log in since Monday so… I guess I get what I get but I guarantee I will never buy more clams. I usually drop $10 once, maybe twice, per big event (even more during Star Trek) but what’s the point of that now?

    I got consuela’s skin, washee and eventually, lois skin. I really wanted Tricia’s skin, but even though I bought clams and got a cookie machine, i still could not get near 20k cookies. But most, I would have liked to be allowed to play through the event, finish the game, main quest etc. Now all feels pointless. Unfinished. They could just freeze the leaderboard, give out the prices an let people finish. Casually.

It seems that every event has either been miss managed by tiny Co in terms of level of effort vs time allotted, or just a massive money grab asking for clam purchases at every turn to have any chance. I’m just done. It was fun to have a tiny quahog but it feels more like a chore And impossible task without paying ‘the tiny co fee’
