PeterPalooza Questions, Clarifications, and Concerns

Hey there Rockers!

With all this Music, Hippies, Toads, and Concerts going on in the game… many of you are a bit lost of confused on some of the game aspects.

No worries, here to help. In this post I will go over some of the common things we are seeing in the comments and help to clarify just what is going on in the game.

CAN’T SPEED TASK WITH CLAMS

I covered this in a few posts now, but as it is still popping up… here are the basics.

If you are on Android, this issue should be patched now. If you are on iOS, here is what you will run into when you try to speed up a task using Clams until patch hits iOS.

If you tap on the Task itself from a Questline and “GO” to the location, trying to tap on the task to speed it up and clear it will just crash your game. The way to work around this is go to the location so you know where they are, then clear the info of the screen by just tapping somewhere else. Then, just tap on the Building itself and speed the task. So in short, tap on the Building to speed… not the task.

PETER DISAPPEARED INTO THE FIRST AID TENT

This happened to many of you, but as more are hitting this point as they start to play or catch up from Phase 1 I wanted to cover it.

The FIRST task for Peter in Festival Fail Part 1 sends him to the First Aid Tent to “Save Toad Users”. The task also sticks around after.

As this is a decoration, and NOT a Building… you don’t get the usual option to just tap the Building and speed through. Instead… there is no info at all no matter how you tap on the First Aid Tent. No worries though, he WILL still finish in the 5hrs time frame and a check mark will show up on it to clear it.

For those eager tappers trying to get him out faster, this will be a little tricky. The only real option is if Peter is needed somewhere else and tapping on that task takes you to him. That may trigger a pop up to speed through for the 5hr Task.

For instance, tapping on a Toad User will tell you that you need Peter and selecting the option to use him will take you to him in the Tent. 

MY CHARACTER IS LOCKED UP

This is not an issue, this is actually a fail safe put in place since last July 2014. Al’s is set up so that when you completely gain all the items for a Character Costume and tap on their “CREATE” button, it starts the timer on the Character Costume and begins to CREATE that costume. As Al’s is now in use, no other Costume can be “Created” until the current timing one is complete.

So for those of you that are maybe in lower Districts unlocking PB&J Brian, or Midlife Crisis Lois, or Anime Peter… WAIT. As right now we have timed costumes in the game, you may want to make sure you are done with the Limited Time Makeover Meg and Rapper Brian before you lock up Al’s for 12hrs, 20hrs, or more hrs. Same goes for this Event… however these Costumes only take about 10seconds so it will go quicker. So make sure you are sure you have the time to lose before tapping “CREATE!”

The reason that waiting will be important is when a Costume is “Locked Up”, the game no longer recognizes the Costume so you will not see their items on Character Tasks anymore until they are available in the game again.

SIDE NOTE/UPDATE: I have made my remarks on this to TinyCo and it looks like changes should go into effect to allow Players to continue collecting items just fine while Al’s is in use. So, WOOHOO!!!

I CAN’T FIND MAKEOVER MEG

With Phase 2, we have MORE items to Craft now in the Festival Merch Kiosk. Due to this, there are now TWO pages of content. So, if you are looking for Makeover Meg or any other items from Phase 1… go to the top Right Corner of the Merch Kiosk and tap “NEXT”. It will take you to the Next Page. “BACK” will take you back to the previous page.

FYI… ANYTHING that takes you to the Merch Kiosk will start Brian’s timer. This means any tasks too… like Get Mushroom. ANY item in there it takes you to is… well… in there and will start the timer on Rapper Brian.

SPAWN TIMES

I updated this information already in the Main Phase 2 post, but will put it here too. As the game progresses and MORE ways to earn items are introduced, spawns of previous items will adjust.

Spotted Toads: Spawn is cut in about half of amount you will see.

Toad Users: 1 every 6hrs

Hippie Girls w/Swarms of Bees: Every 3 hrs in groups of up to 9. MAX of 9 in your game at a time.

Greased Up Deaf Guy: He appeared twice for me right away as soon as I completed Part 4 of Never Gonna Catch me. After that, expect to see him once, and if you are lucky and time is just right maybe twice a day as his spawn is roughly every 12hrs.

CONCERTS CONCERTS CONCERTS

Just an overall FYI, for those doing the “Secret” Concerts… I have stated all over and put many warnings on these. They are “AT YOUR OWN RISK”. They are not supposed to exist, so using them will not guarantee you any task completions, Character options, Payouts, etc.

I will not test them any further in my game and risk a lock out. I need them too much for this site. If YOU want to risk it, your choice. Feel free to share your results with others.

Outside of that, the MAIN way for you to Glowsticks and Skull Guitar Picks will be the Concerts. So access the Stage as fast as you can and do as many as you can as it looks like each week a new Musician will take over the first Concert before allowing Concerts again.

CAN’T COLLECT FREE MUSIC

I have seen some reports that Players are running into a few different items when trying to collect your Free Album for Avril or Snoop Dogg. Remember this is ONLY available on Google Play and ONLY in some areas. See the pop up for restrictions.

Basically the best thing is to make sure you are signed into your Google Play account (especially if password protected). Then just follow the steps as it walks you through redeeming it.

If it tells you the Code has already been used, Contact TinyCo from your in game messaging for support.

If you run into any other issues redeeming that basic troubleshooting won’t help, Contact TinyCo from your in game messaging for support.

Just an FYI, if you chose to not Redeem the Album as soon as it was offered by tapping “HELL YEAH” and instead chose “LATER”, you will find the Album waiting for you in your game in the Event Menu. Tap on the Guitar Icon in the lower right corner of the game to go into the Event Pop Up.

Go to the Headphones Icon.

Locate the Album and tap on it to follow the instructions to Redeem.

For those that got Snoop Dogg’s Bush Album and only saw ONE Song, when I ran into this and went to actually listen to them it did load the remaining 9 songs. Others reported this too. So the full Album is there.

HACKY SACKS STILL AROUND/PICKS STOPPED

For some FYI, I do know that many of you are still seeing Hacky Sacks drop. I did report it and no word yet. They may have a future unseen use creating them to still drop. I would assume it is that or a Coin in its place like Previous Events. But will Update when I hear more.

As to the Skull Guitar Picks stop dropping, I saw some of you remarking they are no longer in tasks or dropping in your game. That is most likely due to you got all the main items offered that are purchasable with Skull Guitar Picks. Once you got them all, they stop dropping as there is no longer a need for them.

SIDE NOTE/UPDATE: TinyCo updated me on my thoughts for this one too. It looks like they are working on both so that you can optimize the Pick drops when Rapper Brian is complete and in your game. 

Of course if you see anything out of the ordinary not already addressed here or other posts, and you still have concerns on it… you can always reach out to TinyCo from your game for further help.

There you have it. Some tips and clarifications of some questions and concerns we have seen in the comments.

Did this help you out? Understand some of the items a lil better? Anything specific you are looking for in PeterPalooza but a basic search hasn’t found? Let us know.
