Hey there Toady Roadies!
Phase 4 is now upon us… WOOHOO!!
With it comes a lot more Characters, Musicians, Decorations, Buildings, Bears, and more. We will have a complete rundown below once we go through it all and play it out live.
Remember, unless it is very clearly notated with a timer (Like Rapper Brian & Makeover Meg were) ALL these Characters/Skins run until the End of the Event.
EVENT ENDS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17th @ 3PM PACIFIC
First up, some tips…
- You will need to Complete Grin & Bear It Part 5 to move into Phase 4 content.
- Carl in the Merch Kiosk is NOT timed so tap away.
- Play the new Main Questline to complete a few Part #’s first to access ALL the new items (most do not start right until you do).
Back with lots more in just a bit.

I need some advice PLEASE! I can’t seem to get enough glowsitcks to build the International hostel. Every time I almost reach 4000 I need to get something else with them. I have to decide now whether to buy the Top40 DJ booth and finish DJ Bucket List to finish Phase 4, or should I build the Hostel?
LikeLike
DJ Bucket list is a SIDE questline. You do not need it to move forward. So… don’t get it. If you want another Character, get the Hostel NOW as you still have to unlock his items and you only have until Thursday to do it.

After Herbert’s concert there is an encore concert for him. Requirements for the encore are:
1. Clear a gold honey bear
2. DJ Herbert discuss social media
3. Joe Lion grow white people dreadlocks
4. Have Alice Cooper let school out
After completing this encore concert you will see another encore concert for Herbert and the requirements are the same

Are you having problems with Rockstar Peter and Detective Scrotes? My Peter just stands there when you send him to trash his hotel room. Same with Detective when you send him to manscape.
LikeLike
I am wondering if they disabled some of the animation to help with game stability. Wouldn’t be the first time.
LikeLike
Yup. Scrotes has the problem since I first tried it, after the update after the mobster event. Peter’s worked once, next time I tried it was after TinyCo uploaded some new things into the game and then he just stood there. So I suspect it’s some bug in their updates rather than a deliberate thing or something wrong at our end. No problem with other animations. iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3.
LikeLike
He originally did not have animation on the task. Wasn’t til after the Event they added it in. Now I am wondering it it was pulled again for stability. I am waiting clarification.
LikeLike
FYI… as I thought… Rockstar Peter not having animation is known. As for Scrotes… message in to them if you do not see it. I just pulled mine out of storage and the animation is working just fine.

If it helps, I messaged TinyCo about the boot drops and they responded that they are dropping as they should, and that the longer you go without a boot drop, the more likely you are to get one… No more on the exact details about drop rates, but it took me 8 tries of Peter’s 8 hour mission (one time even spending clams, no go there) until I got one. Today, they seem to actually be dropping, which means I’ve probably jynxed myself and won’t see anymore… LOL.

It’s funny how fickle we are, when event started I immediately said to myself I’d get Deadmau5 but once I saw he was 350 clams I started dither, had he been 250 I would immediately grabbed him but i told myself I wouldn’t break 300 clams for any character. Damn you clam spend rule. Anyways as there is a clam deal I thought I would point out to UK players PayPal have 20% off iTunes vouchers just now. I may use this an excuse to break my clam rule.
Still enjoying the event, was initially confused who Carl was, I thought he was our free clam TV guy until you cleared that up Bunny. Thanks. But when we going see you bounce into the game? I can see you sitting with a dancing toad and other weird animals, a kind of geek Snow White.
Thanks again for all the info. Oh and honey bears are dropping records every time for me.

Lol. According to TinyCo we have to “have a large fan base” to make it worthwhile. So… people have to continually ask for us? Lol. I dunno. I am sure there is a lot that they got to follow on the legal side too when presenting a new character to be a permanent fixture in the game. How it will impact the game, will it be worthwhile to spend time and resources on it, etc. That usual business stuffs. 😉

I bought deadmou5 and snoop a minute ago, it would had been worth it if I was on android(Google) and then could get there albums free ($19.99=600 clams for the two characters/ $19.99 is typical price for two albums) I feel it would had been a bargain on android to buy the premium character.
But I just got both and now I’m locked out on IOS so I can’t play with them after all😢

Glow sticks are difficult to come by as it is with so few characters who can yield them, stinks that three of them — Bonnie, Lois and Quagmire — now have item-dropping tasks that don’t pay out glow sticks. The tasks are so long that at least they could have made them pay out some currency.

Do you guys know what the spawn rate on the Golden Bears is? I last cleared one 3 hours ago, and I just went in to clear another and after 5mins of waiting no more have shown up.
LikeLike
Lol. I asked… there is not a public released spawn time on them. I think it may vary per player. I would assume the normal times they use most events… every 3-6 hrs. So watch your game at the 3,4, & 6hr mark to see when they come back. I am still testing that in my game too.

Until we reach the end point of an event, I always work the math as to whether it is prudent to spend my event currency on a building; I want to at least come close to breaking even. I bought the hostel as soon as possible because I quickly realized that Belgard was the quickest path to Alice and both characters plus the building would pay down the 4000 glow sticks spent with three-plus weeks left. Of course, this week you have no choice since both buildings to craft are needed for the quest lines. So I bought them right away in the hopes that I can recover some of the glow sticks they required.

I bought some clams, I was going to add just a couple for Deadmau5, but the extra tickets are really helpful, I probably would have added the clams at a later point anyway.

Yep, Android and UK. I had problems with Snoop Dogg and Avril at first, but at least the redemption popup came with them. I guess I’ll contact TinyCo. Not sure if it is a problem with them or Google. I would assume them as the popup needs to come from the game.

Ah OK, thanks. I didn’t think to check there. I don’t mind too much as I bought him to help with the LPs, but his task is pretty long and my drops from the Bears have been good. Just a little disappointing considering how expensive he was, I thought that the LPs would be harder to get. I should have thought to look sooner in the FAQ, but I still think that they could have mentioned it somewhere else. I imagine other people didn’t realise and would want money back.

I would but I already bought on the ‘extra picks’ one, and they have been pretty useless, also got Snoop who wins my reward for the most useless premium of this even so far – drops hack sacks, and thats it, and you had about a bazillion more of those than you needed just clearing stuff for glowsticks anyway… so I’m skipping the mouse.

Plus only needing to check my game every 8 hours will let me focus more on work! Wait, that’s not a good thing. 🙂

Meh, this event is an epic fail IMO. It started out well for the first two weeks but last week (which I’m still stuck in until I get four more boots from Peter) was weak. For the past four days I’ve just been trying to get those boots and so the rest of the game is really boring. I boycotted the leaderboards since someone in my group had 80 blammies on the first day. Not saying they cheated but most likely they paid a lot of clams. Since I can’t even hold a concert there was no point in wasting time. I even have the doctor doing tasks for new brian instead and just trying to get guitar picks with the others. Now when I finally get to week four it doesn’t sound any better. 350 clams for deadmau5, not worth it. Since herbert is my least favorite character not worth getting his skin. So the only thing is unlocking carl. Yippee. Well, I’ve been looking for an excuse to quit playing so I guess I should thank Tinyco for that.

Disappointed also that gene and ace don’t do anything in this event, just like patrick and george were useless during star trek. I understand making it so new players can keep up, but when they never use older premium characters it shows they really just want you to keep buying more.
