Sort of wish the speed of the event slowed down a little bit. Granted, I goofed and missed the first 3 days of this event and knew it would be an up-hill battle, but decided to have fun with it anyway.Playing at a comfortable pace ( logging on 2 or 3 times a day), I finally this morning unlocked Alice Cooper. Noticing the timer says I only have 4 days of the even left, decided to check in to FamilyGuyAdditcts to see what i’ll be missing. Holy crap! I missed 3 days and it feels like i’m 3 weeks behind. Not too upset, just felt like ranting.
The only clams Invested for the event was on the first mystery box, got Tomik on my first try, so Having Tomik and Belgard makes my fumbling up this event far easier to swallow! Been waiting for them to get into the game!

WTD why is the GUDG in this event, fed up of tinyco chucking characters in, fed up of events every week, fed up of bad drop rates, stop the rare, or add more characters. Fed up of bad maths, wrenches etc. Fed up of too much to do.

What the deuce tiny Co? We’ve waited all this time, begging and pleading for GUDG only to be forced to choose whether to collect his greasy rare underwear (I still have only 2/20) or choose to try for bad trip stewie because gold robots don’t drop viral hits for me (one time payout out of the past 4 days) no way you can do both! Also, what the deuce? I purchased weird Al when he was released, and never got my album. I’ve messaged you in game but still no response! I want my album!

The problem I’m having with this event is the glow sticks. Because I haven’t unlocked Rick Ashley, I can’t do the concert, allowing more glow sticks to drop. I want to get GUDG so badly, but it’s pretty stacked. Unlocking Rick hopefully between today and tomorrow to get stuff from Mecha Ashley to help things, but at this point I’m not optimistic. Definitely need an extension for this event.
My other problem is that out of all events they’ve done, this one feels very heavy on the clam spending front. I haven’t spent any, but I see no value in getting any of the premium characters, unless I get GUDG’s value down. We’ll see.

I don’t understand what the people at TinyCo are thinking, and why they think having event after event that is a horrendous, frustrating, disgusting unachieveable grind is a good way to keep players around, or get new players on board. I especially don’t understand this when, for the third time, I speak to some guy named Matt who PROMISED me that things in the future would be better after the Gangster event. Well? It’s a new event and the same old stuff from TinyCo. Horrendous drops, not enough usable characters, character goals set too high. People have to work, people have lives, and to purposely setup an event where you can’t get everything unless you a) spend every two hours on it (and even then, good luck to you) or b) spend 20 bucks in clams is absolute BS.
I’m going to give this event a go and play every two hours as best as I can, but if I don’t get greased up deaf guy this game is getting deleted.

Drop Loretta from you questing right now. She is a character from the main game. So she isn’t going anywhere and can be back burnered. I find that this game has a mental component which can lead to anxiety when you “feel” like there is too much on your plate and the drops just don’t seem to be coming.

WTD!! Four days left and I don’t have Rick Astley, Ricardo, or GUDG. And, I am so far away from getting any of them, I don’t know if it is worth the hassle. Also, ALL of these characters that we buy/win and just a handful help to win anything. . . I mean, really Tiny Co? I have had so many problems with this particular event. I have been emailing and their responses have either not been related or have come too late to make a difference to my game. I have never been this far behind in one of their events.
And, finally. . .I know that I am super late, but WTD on Captain Kirk’s voice? Why oh why is that awful generic voice used? Most of the time I have the volume off, so I have just recently heard it.

When I first started with this game (Comic Con), it was fun – and you could play at a reasonable pace (if you were working). You could also achieve things by being a Freemium player. If you wanted to spend clams on certain things – it was your choice to do so
With this event I’m seriously thinking about giving up, and deleting the game
It is impossible to play this game (and achieve things), when you are working at the same time. There is just too much to do, and collect
My other gripe is – that the game has seriously turned into one big money grabbing event. To achieve even half of the event – you need to spend some serious clams. And for what? It’s not as if any of these characters will be used in any upcoming events WTD!!
I don’t like it – but I am beginning to hate this game

I wish Ricardo cost 250 clams instead of 10,000 glowsticks because then I could complain to TinyCo and have a remote chance of returning him and getting my resources back.

Which brings me to my WTH…
I have played Premium all through this event since i had gift money for Google play i had no idea what to do with so i took some of the clam offers. That seems to be the ONLY way anyone could possibly compete to any degree of fun in this event. Completely impossible to unlock pretty much any character as a freemium player. I stopped playing during the American Dad event for this reason and it seems to actually be worse now.

The thing that irritates me the most about this game is why they continually insist on having two task drops at the same time for the 1 character. With all the fricken characters available in the game there is no reason why they need to keep on doing this. I understand they like to use common easier to unlock or buy ones but come on tiny co enough is enough. Stewie, Mayor West, Jillian, Carter, Connie, Cleveland, Seamus, Consuela, Tom, Jake, Babs, BDH, Vinny, All worthless in this event and the majority were in other recent past ones as well. Not to mention if they want us to consider paying cash to buy premium characters why not sometimes reward the players that do actually pay up and buy them. Maybe in the events let those premium characters have task drops that are exclusive to the people that ponied up the dough as a sorta thanks again. Nobody can be mad that didnt buy them as it was their choice not to so rather then say thanks for the cash and screw u, throw in that xtra little bonus to us premium players once in awhile. Maybe they wouldnt get so many complaints and what not had they done this or start doing it. Just a imo venting but I know im not alone in this.

Or at least use characters from districts beyond 5. I agree with the premium characters gain event currency. Perhaps getting what a commonly used character gets from a 1 hour task for a 12 or 24 hour task for premium character. For example, it used in current event 1 glowsticks for a 12 or 24 hr task. Now I know this seems small, but it is would at least make investing in the premiums worth something beyond their events. Just my two cents.

I think there’s a bug in my game preventing me from getting candy from the Rap Sideshows. When I pick my characters, I get the chance meter all the way to the top but once I start the show, it goes down to the bottom of the meter. I know for sure that the odds shouldn’t be this horrid for candy and there’s no way I can get the rest of the candy with Weird Al alone.
Like many people here, I’m EXTREMELY annoyed with the too many bugs/grease to collect and too few wrenches issue. I do have the Flowerchild’s Hippy House but like my candy issue, there’s no way I can get all of the grease tubs in time.
This game was supposed to be fun but ever since Halloween, “events” have been pumped out almost within less than 24 hours after the previous one ended and it’s getting very old and extremely annoying. Can’t it hurt to have at least a week between events to recover from these events and catch up with district quest lines or for newer players to catch up to the day one players in terms of districts?

The odds for getting items were adjusted with only the info being changed on the screen where you assign characters, so ignore the info during the performance.
When I still needed Jackets for Astley and Earpieces for GUDG after the update, which are now High using only a single character, I got them every time after a performance. I still need Candies, which are now set to Medium. I have yet to get any, but I’ve only done Rap twice with the second one currently running.

In response to the Rap Sideshows. I had the same thing going on in my game. The chance meter went from High before the show and low once the show started. HOWEVER, out of 6 shows, I received candy from 4 of them giving me the 16 I needed for GUDG. So don’t lose heart!

I am fortunate enough to have Ricardo in my game. Since I no longer need LPs or lighters, is there any value in running main stage concerts? Sure 150 glow sticks, but there are other ways to get those. The LPs I received just evaporated into thin air and the lighters went toward some decoration in the merchandise tent that I already have plenty for. Just want to make sure I am not missing something. I checked every item in the merchandise tent that is available and can’t find anything that needs either. Without counters for items a player has no idea what they have. I hope they aren’t needed at the end of the event because I would have no idea what I have in anything. I get that all players need LPs and lighters so they can’t change the payout, but I don’t see a need for either of those things at my point in the game. I will become less focused on main stage concerts and more focused on other things.

I have enjoyed playing fgtqfs for over a year. Nice break in my day. I would like to recommend that the game developers give up this new queue up workers approach. It is boring and frustrating. Send someone on an 8 hour task then send a worker on an hour task to then do something that may or may not pay off; now repeat those steps over and over again. Yawn!
Give us the good old aim and shoot approach from earlier events. Much more entertaining!

Last Saturday, I woke up with a sore throat. I thought, “God, I hope I’m not getting strep throat…” Sunday, still had a sore throat. “Nooo!!!” I proclaimed through hoarse tonsils. “Oh well, at least I have an extra day off weekend to recoup (labor day, paid holiday, woo hoo!) But by Monday, the throat felt better, but seemed to move down into the lungs, kinda like they were on fire… Not comfy. Back to work Tuesday, same thing, burning lungs, congestion building up, sinus pressure increasing… This continued for 3 more days, with increasing sinus pressure to the point where I could barely walk straight from an inflamed equilibrium. In fact, Thursday I turned around, lost my balance and stumbled straight into my boss, who takes VERY little interest in our well-being. So Friday morning I figured it might be something pretty serious, as I had completely lost my voice and could barely open my eyes from a crushing sinus headache, and the dizziness was only getting worse. So I decided to leave work early and see my Dr before the weekend hit again. As it turns out, I have a sinus infection, for which the Dr prescribed a “special” nasal spray to be used in conjunction with a “special” antihistamine. After being informed by the pharmacist that the spray was $140, and the “special” meds (which turned out to be Claritin D) were $40, I looked closer at the nasal spray and realized it was the exact same thing as Flo-nase ($35 over the counter). So basically, instead of suffering at work for days, missing work to go pay a copay to the Dr, and getting the run-around at the pharm, I could’ve just gone to Walmart or wherever, got some over the counter stuff for cheap enough, and been just fine to work through the week, and would’ve felt fine by now. Now my weekend is mostly nose-blowing, coughing up the residuals, and waiting for Monday when I go back to work, where my wonderfully caring boss is sure to be waiting to chew me out for leaving work. And that, humans, is what grinds my gears.

Side note: Now I get you want an issue resolved and for them to help… but complaining they take to long to respond and in same reply telling people to flood them…. daily?? Are you not just creating the exact problem you are unhappy about? Flooding them just adds MORE comments for them to have to go through in order to get to help someone. So if you tell the already thousands of Players waiting in line to now flood them… all you are doing is now making those into more like TENS of THOUSANDS of messages. That won’t help anyone at all. Not one bit. In fact, it creates an even worse issue that now all those waiting for help have to wait even longer.
TinyCo is …well… Tiny. They do not outsource their customer support to thousands of call center agents worldwide like other giant game houses. Instead, it is all done in house. By them. So you are essentially waiting your turn in line for a handful of people to help. (Best way to visualize it). So the responses will not be instant and may take time depending on the issue.
Flooding them is the worst thing you could do. You might as well just be saying “don’t bother helping anyone”. Just sayin. 😉
In short, help the rest of US Players and do not flood them. That makes it take longer to help those of us with actual issues due to they have 100’s of unnecessary “flooded” comments. You are hurting the rest of the Players trying to get help by doing that. Including many on this same thread who are also waiting to hear back on their issues.

Side note… I easily could get that. Those gold ones kept dropping +6 before all the Tubs of Grease were gained for GUDG. I got like 6 of them at least at that time if not 7. Then it randomly drops between 1 and 6 since then with coins. So… clam user and lots of 5x Mecha battles will get you there. Plus the Sideshow dropping 1 or 2. Plus all the characters dropping one.

Seriously. I needed 45 tubs of grease when the leaderboards hit. Just finished getting them and not a single vid dropped from any of them. Now all I get is coins. The big laugher is the characters that drop them are also needed for GUDG, wrenches and Mecha attacks. Come on TC, dust off one of the 75 characters in storage to help out here…

I’ve had all of the tubs of grease for several days, all of my gold robots have dropped coins, not one viral video let alone six at a time. This is why I HATE the leaderboards. They are so random. You can be a full time player spending tons of money and still not succeed. I’ve written this to TinyCo but they don’t care. I’m sure they they spent a lot of time coding they leaderboard part of the app, want to get their money out of it and will reuse the code over and over. For me, the next event that has a leaderboard in it, I’m out and this app is deleted from my iPad. BTW – I won my last leaderboard so getting the prize at the end doesn’t matter. They just ruin the game.

you were lucky, all I am getting from the gold robots is coins, I think in about 24 tries, I have had 2 hits with a total of 12 viral hits. The leaders on my board have 231 and then 30. I will be lucky if I get clams and coins. Not worth it to me to grind too hard for a skin and another building, plus I have out of town guests coming tomorrow, so I will not be playing all that often this coming week. I am doing the characters now, except for peter, who I have attacking mecha astley, and not worrying at all about the questlines, except for the one that pays out clams. Also, I no longer see the value in concerts, since all the stuff is bought, and I can’t see what use the records and lighters are needed for??

Whose brilliant idea was it to have the Gold Robots drop Viral Videos in addition to the Tubs of Grease? I am trying to unlock Greased-Up Deaf Guy, not climb the leaderboards. Super annoying… And I just know that some fool is going to drop hundreds of Clams to get the top spot and I will end up with the coin prize anyway…
Why the hell did they drop Greased-Up Deaf Guy during a timed event? I wonder if it is even possible to unlock him in time WITHOUT the use of Clams. I mean, he is a recurring character from the show and not some nobody who is just here for the event (I’m looking at you Rick Astley – and yes, I know they played his stupid song during one episode but big whoop), so why the ridiculous amount of materials necessary?. Does TinyCo hate us or something, did we offend? A challenge is one thing, but a deliberate Clam trap is another entirely…
Now get out of my yard!

I complained on their facebook page about what a bad idea it was to not just put GUDG in a timed event like this which should not have been done, but to also put him at the end of it so its even harder to get him. I’ve been using an alarm on my tablet just so I can get on every 4 hours night and day to fight Mecha Astley, clear buildings, and collect/resend characters and even with all that I only have his ‘give up and spend clams’ price down to 524 clams.

OMG! Why do my Vectors in statics come out with the wrong direction and magnitude? My biggest problem is trying to figure out whether to use sine or cosine… if the angle comes off the x axis I think you use the sine there of? IDK! anyhow, I need tickets… please! More tickets!

WTD is with the using of the same characters to drop all the materials needed for hiring the goons (for lack of a better term for them all).

No wrenches.
Defeating a gold robot doesn’t always drop grease…srsly?!?!?
I’ve bought all the buildings the help with GUDG and I’m not even 25% of the way to getting him. Does he stick around after Palooza or do you need to unlock him?
Wish there was a way to skip the 5th level of Mecha Astlet…ain’t nobody got time for that! Especially if you want to get viral video drops.
Ugh…Weird Al, you were a wasted purchase.

Level 5 of Mecha Astley? I was thinking level 3 with one character… I don’t think I am getting any other characters before the end of the event… haha…

I just feel like there’s far to much to do, with me still not unlocking Rick Astley or Ricardo and now all the stuff needed for GUDG, there just feels like no hope with so little time left, as I need lots o tickets still and I only have mort collecting baskets, meaning it takes most of the day to get one ticket, which I need to unlock Ricks buildings, so won’t be able to perform any more shows, thus the stuff for Ricardo

If you get the headphones for GUDG through side concerts you do NOT need Ricardo. Complete waste of materials as he adds nothing to the game.

I’m actually just more curious about if there is/isn’t a building for “Let You Down”?
I’m going through my town and I’ve got everything for the Rick Roll except that, not sure if I’m missing it entirely, or if it’s something that I’ve accidentally placed elsewhere or is hiding in my inventory.

Tiny co deal “spend 4.99 or more on clams and get items needed for Carl and special Herbert skin”. Wow sounded like an awesome deal. I got the 4.99 (5.79 cdn) and I got a few of each item, barely enough to unlock either character. The wording tony co used for this deal was very MISLEADING ….. I am very furious at this …… WTF, WTH and WTD
