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! 🙂
REMEMBER: This is the ONLY place all that Venting and Frustration is allowed, so please Respect the Addicts Guidelines and post them ONLY here. They are always open, so you can use them at anytime. 24/7, 365 days a year. Help us by keeping the Vents/Rants off all the other helpful posts. 🙂
Just be respectful of others & be mindful of the language while commenting.
Here’s mine for this week:
–WHAT THE DEUCE… Wrenches, can I get about 100 more please? SERIOUSLY?! My town looks like an Alien Invasion of Gold Robots come to shoot frakkin laser beams at us and take over the Planet. I keep tapping them during Concerts or just trying to tap something else. Do I need to call an Exterminator? PLEASE SIR, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE!!!
–WHAT THE DEUCE… FLU!!! I HATE YOU! That is all.
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! 🙂

WTD?! I can’t get the final item to unlock Maxi Paddy – the pill bottle will just not drop! One drop will give you two bottles, right? So that’s all I need. Been waiting for days! How are you supposed to catch up with the main event with insane drop rates like that?! So frustrating…

My WTD relates to Halloween… first is the reels… it seems like every event so far has made it impossible to complete any level without spending clams. Too much going on – you need a character to do a task that takes 4+ hours to complete and an additional 45min or an hour to craft, plus it can be a hit or miss. Then you have an item that takes 6 hours to collect, and there is no rhyme or reason to the target’s path. Plus this timer deal makes it impossible – I can see the weekly challenges being timed but characters with an unrealistic amount of stuff needed with ultra rate item drops need to be readjusted. Please let us have until the event is over to unlock a character! I love the game, but every event I always end up 2 weeks behind and I’m on my game every minute I can be. WTD tinyco?!

My WTD has been the same for a long time. I have a ton of buildings in storage because there is NO ROOM and no option to buy more room. There are new buildings and decorations to buy pretty often, but never enough room to put them. I have to put a building in storage if I want to buy a new building. I wish I had room to have all of my buildings up at once 😦 it sucks!

WTD anyway! Need Opie for the main questline and the annoying fellow is still waiting for a pair of scissors (to run with) and four Employee of the Month certificates. Mort is beginning to have an allergic reaction to jewels from swallowing so many to get scissors.

So Mr. Weed’s ghost is in the Lazarus portal, but apparently will stay there forever. I have the other 3 ghosts and had over 250 feet, so I thought my chances of getting started on Mr. Weed were pretty good… At 5 feet per chance, I used them all plus feet from the zombies I earned each time (at one or 2 zombies dropped per chance- didn’t get any 20 or 30 zombie hoards) and still no Mr. Weed. WTD?!

Ok WTdD!!!?!??!?
I just read thru a bunch of the WTD comments & just felt I HAD to add the “d” to it because I’m not sure if it’s a case of sore losers or just plain lack of common sense !?? First off why is it that anyone who can’t or hasn’t been able to keep up with the front runners on the leaderboards thinks we are, or calls us CHEATERS!? I personally take this as a HUGE insult !! I was raised that being a man of your word is the most important thing, & calling me , or anyone a cheat , you might as well include liar or thief because they are all on the same level of insulting . I’m so sorry that I spent a little more money on the game than you and was able to score more Viral Videos, MY BAD! It’s not cheating it’s called doing better than you, & you can’t keep up. When I first started playing this game , (During the Mob event) I was in the bottom 5 on my leaderboard, but In the last 2 months I’ve put up a bunch of buildings , finished a lot of quests, purchased a bunch of clams & basically , just put in my time in the game. Difference is I just did my best in those first few weeks , how can u expect to just start a game, (any game) & think that your gonna be on the same level as someone playing a month or more longer than you!? YOU CANT!!! On this leaderboard , one minute I had 55 TV’s, I killed 11 gold robots & got 2 TV’s from each of them, BOOM 77 TV’s, but then the next 10-15 robots all I got was a coin each , so if you squished 15 robots & got nothing, SO DID I , but I kept Mecha Astley @ level 5 since the first day he came out to play , so I had DOZENS of gold robots roaming my town @ all times. So if cheating means playing more , spending more ($ & clams)& Being luckier than you is cheating , then I apologize, I guess I’ve been cheating since I started playing…. WTdD!!?!??!? (WhatTheDoubleDeuce) lol
Just SUCK IT UP & play on.
Another thing that I keep reading is all of the, whiney crying & complaining about ”OMG, I can’t believe this costume or skin or building cost so many clams ” People, I know if anyone playing this game is in the real world , you do realize that the folks @ Tiny Co. ((unless your one of the select few, [like me] even though my uncle Seth {MacFarlane}, hasn’t even given me 1 FREE CLAM!!!)) ..are not your friends or family!! They are a “Co.” Aka corporation or company, their sole purpose is to MAKE MONEY & to make us spend our money on the game. This is the way businesses work, if they didn’t charge money for clams and have premium items that cost those clams we wouldn’t have a game to play at all , because ….guess what ? It costs money to create & maintain a game/App & pay it’s employees to keep it up and running the way you & I expect it to.
In closing, even though I could go on & on about the never ending carousel of sulking ,crying & complaining over ridiculously common sense arguments with simple answers, that you think are “unfair ” or “unreasonable ” or “too hard”, I say again “SUCK IT UP!!!” It’s a game , it costs money sometimes, either play & have fun and stop complaining or stop playing !!

Was able to get into the game just fine last night, but this morning I’m being swarmed with connection errors & exiting to my phone’s default screen. I hope this isn’t another lockout issue like with the Mobster event. I have plenty of free space too. Any ideas?

As much as I appreciate the comment and it did make me giggle in many spots… there are too many parts that cross over our Addicts Guidelines.
It’s just fine to vent, but when you go on the Attack against others and become a bit more on the “abusive” side of that… it will create a lot more issues and goes against our Guidelines. You are welcome to still express it all, just maybe reword it a bit so it does not seem such a Direct attack on others. 😉
We try to be a more peaceful site and not a replica of TinyCo’s Family Guy Facebook page. We don’t like that kind of anger and abuse here. 🙂

You know what grinds my gears? The fact that an hour after PeterPalooza ended we get another event. I need time to catch my breath, get some sleep and figure out if I want to spend more money on items that go into inventory the second the event ends.

GUDG, it’ll be sad not having you in my game. If only I had a couple more days. But no, TinyCO makes ANOTHER event impossible to complete without spending money. I even got Weird Al via TV Clams and I still can’t complete the required tasks in time.
I didn’t even bother trying for Ricardo. 10,000 Glowsticks? Never gonna happen.
And 250 Clams for a Tricia costume?!?!? You have got to be out of your minds.

What the Duce is going on with the gold scorpions???!!!
For the last two days (with only a few hours left before the event ends I don’t want to lose my 2nd place spot) every time I go to exterminate my infestation of scorpions I only get coins and not the red t.v. thingies.
This is so frustrating! It’s not like I can get a ton of wrenches to get the ton of exterminators needed. It take
s so much time to get them, train them, and then to get only coins for the last two days bites the big one.
I’m head to head for second place and if I continue to only get coins I will lose my spot and will lose the grand prize. The person I’m head to head with clearly continues to increase their amount of red TV thingies, while I continue (for 2 flipping days) only get coins!
I feel like tiny co wants me to spend more money on clams so I can speed things up or buy wrenches in a desperate attempt to TRY and get more red TVs to keep my spot.
I just can’t and won’t be doing that!!!!
I have spent enough money on clams in this event to buy out some of the characters because time was running out and the drops are so bad I didn’t want the time and energy I put into the game be taken away because I couldn’t get the last 10 tubs or last boot.
I don’t have time to play for hours because real life comes first!!
I’m sure A lot of others did the same because they too did not want to lose their character(s) with only a few items needed to unlock and lose it all when the event ends.
I do think this is calculated by tiny co!! I
really do!
They know A LOT of players will be in the same predicament and don’t want their time and energy to be tossed to the wayside so they (like me )will buy out the character they want, which means tiny co gets to line their wallets and walk away with a smile.
I understand it’s a business, and they need money to keep the game running and to continue making the game fun, but seriously this is not how to do it! You don’t make it to where the drops are so bad, that people get desperate to keep what they worked so hard to get at the end of the event they have to buy it out, or lose it all.

WTD@ having tons of Gold Robots running around my town with no way to get rid of them because TinyCo assigned getting Wrenches to characters, who 9 times out of 10 are needed elsewhere. Yes, they gave us 2 more buildings, but we’re still only getting an average of 3 every 6 hours (12 a day). This is the main reason why players complain and demand TinyCo use more characters for item tasks. They use the illogic that they want to make it fair for newer players, but I say “TS, to them. Older players worked hard to get where they are and deserve an advantage!” If TinyCo wants it to be fair re-release old characters for them to buy for Clams.
WTD@ the beyond poor drop rates for Viral TVs by using Engineers. Using characters its a common drop, but with Engineers its very rare. I’ve gotten coins 99% of the time. How is anybody suppose to move up the Leaderboard or want to put any effort into it when the odds are highly against them?
I just happened to get very lucky without even trying to be in third place along with a casual bracket. #1 is at 51 TVs, but if you examine the group its very unbalanced. Top 5 are 20+ and then bottom 20 is under 10, so either the bottom group didn’t care based off the first Leaderboard being awful this event or got royally screwed because of bad TV drop rates.

“This [game] has been an unproductive use of my time.”
This event was better than the Star Trek and Mob events in terms of achievability…except there needs to be one more week’s worth of time added. I didn’t get King Butt during the first event because I played pretty casually, but I see how it could have been done with a bit more effort. From that point on, I was able to stay on track to win all freemium prizes. That enjoyment and accomplishement made me want to invest money in premium characters, so I did. That all changed with Star Trek. I won’t buy premium items to earn freemium items. To me, that’s the reverse of a model that gets freemium players to become premium players.
I wanted to quit after both Star Trek and Mob events, but I didn’t. I’m really going to try and pull the plug this time.

WTD! That grilled cheese truck is so tiny that only Chip Griffin could drive it. The hillbilly ATM towers over it. I finally out it next to the tiny Corleone mansion (the one that looks so small that it must actually be intended for the cat) to make it seem a little bigger.
Also WTD! I have almost 15,000 glowsticks with 10 hours of event to go and nothing to spend them on. Already bought everything of interest, such as it was.

WTD! There is not going to be a currency box for this event, even though they have had them for every single event since I started playing! If there is not going to be a use for them, then why did I even bother to play after I got the characters I wanted? The questlines pay out more glowsticks and xp, which has been maxed out for months, so they are not needed. I never had a shot at the leaderboard prizes. because the first few people apparently have much more time to play than I do, or are spending much more money than I would ever consider.
Normally I do not complain about the game, because I am choosing to play, and I normally enjoy it, weird drop rates and crashes notwithstanding, but in this one instance, I am feeling quite perturbed.
