WHAT THE DEUCE… I want more lil Decoration. I’m seeing a ton of really cool things I want in my game. Trees, bushes, sidewalks, dirt, fences… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me more PERMANENT Decorations from this event!!
WHAT THE DEUCE… Someone had to go on a drunk driving rampage and knock out Internet for a lot of businesses and homes. Come on people. If you’re gonna drink, at least act like an adult and take a cab. NOTHING is worth driving under influence. Nothing at all. Risking your life and all those innocent bystanders is just… well… stupid.

I didn’t think I was doing too bad… then the werewolves appeared… Even with using clams I’ll be scraping by, and that’s if I make it at all… The timers in the game are pretty tight, so characters turning to werewolves is quite dreadful for my progress!!! Never have enough silver balls to keep up, even after using clams…. I’d hate to throw in the towel, but I may and just delete the game once and for all… it’s feeling more and more like a bottomless pit and losing its fun…

I vow at this moment that I will never buy another clam for this game, and frankly, not sure how much longer I’m going to be a player of it. I’ve been locked out with the getPlayArea error until yesterday afternoon. I’ve already missed more than a third of the event, but from what I’ve read here on FGA that it’s probably a blessing in disguise really. I’m more po’d though, at the fact that TC doesn’t care at all. I e-mailed them a few times while I was locked out but do you think they would bother to apologize or offer any recompense at all? No. Just some generic, unappreciative response. The more I play certain games on my phone/tablet, the more I understand the gripes from some of my favorite traditional game dev’s. In this age of free downloads to play with in-game purchases, the dev’s don’t need to make a game that is interesting or even functions well. All they need is a modicum of interest by a handful of consumers willing to make blind purchases to be a success…apparently to the delight of several groups like TC. I’ve never seen worse customer service. You NEVER get a response in a timely manner, and when they do finally contact you, you realize you’ve waisted time and energy for nothing as they NEVER even try to make anything right.

I honestly felt that week one of this event went at a nice pace, and I had no problem earning enough film reels to reach the pumpkin tower page. Since the film reel conversion changes though, I am well and truly stuck.
It’s taken me two days – TWO DAYS – to earn enough sodas to go from 64 reels to 76, when I still need an additional 44 reels (four lots of 12, so another 8 days) to progress onto the next page of props. This puts me over a week behind, just like the second week of every other major in-game event in recent memory.
And don’t even talk to me about Patty. It’s just not fun any more.

I’m at Level 8 almost to Level 9 which requires 50 sodas or 130 popcorns + 45 sodas (simply unrealistic at this pace)… I’m not even close to Death… Patty’s timer was somehow kicked off because a questline said “click here” (and I didn’t read your pre-op directions… so bad me) and now have only 5 days left and still trying to get the 2nd object… I think every character possible is now a wearwolf… I have so many nuns it’s like I’m back in Catholic school… and so many bats I can barely see the screen. I have 2 of the Popcorn guys and 1 High Fructose guy.
I’ve probably spent $120 this week alone to speed up drops and feel I’m getting further and further behind. To me it would seem to further you got in the game (Phases) that you should be rewarded. Now it feels like I’m being penalized.
Very frustrated… and my box of wine is almost empty. Tip it! Oy.

Management of this property by Tiny Co is just astoundingly incompetent. Way to burn your customers, both paying and freemium. Hidden timed quests, forced leveling while offline after you recalculate point rewards so it takes to a place where are gathered items are worth less and unable to be turned in, removing first weeks turnins when you start second week, no instructions in game explaining consequences of touching the screen and starting phase two, etc. I like Family Guy, but Tiny Co deserves the rep they have. They dont seem to care either. Everytime someone from Tiny Co posts on social media, its just page after page of how much they suck and have no concept of fair or reasonable.

I agree with you 100%
They started alright but now. You can only make real progress by spending lots of money. They have made it their business model.
They don’t care if you’re a fremium player.
Previous buildings, characters become absolutely useless.
For example, we are urged to spend £7-8 on 275 clams for Michael Myers (who costs 260 clams). After this event, he will another useless zombie.
Premium characters from the last Halloween are useless. At least give them some value.
Or at least allow us to.trade our old premium characters for new ones plus a small number of clams. Or lower the price of premium characters, since they’ll get redundant as soon as the event ends

Cuz u can’t do a f’n thing cuz every single building on page 1 and page 2 of the projection booth is locked due to some glitch that not enough people are experiencing to make it worth while 4 tinyco to care about fixing… Oh n btw tinyco has said not a single word they don’t give a rats @ss.. As I wait patiently not contacting them too much more then once cuz it hurts other players…while they totally ignore a player who has paid $$$ …so much so that I feel ashamed to admit the amount… Oh yeah n unlike activision they have no one you can speak to in person cuz their number is a google number that goes to sum chick!!!

I’ve been with this game since the Comic Con event. I’ve probably put over $500 into this game since then. I’m not going to complain about the money I’ve already spent on this game because I did enjoy it for a little while and it’s my own mistake. Now I just feel like these guys are blatantly ripping us off though. I got screwed out of the Bird Beard Peter “event” at the last second and I got screwed over with the Mobster event even though I put $20 in before the event. How much money does Tiny Co think this game is worth? They’re insane and they’ve caught us atcting insane as well.
I’m hesitant to delete this game from my iPad because I’ve put so much money into it but I don’t even enjoy it anymore.
$20 should get you just about everything a single event has to offer. Even then that’s an outrageous price to pay for a game like this and the content you get (and how long you can actually use it for). Premium characters should be like $1 each.
Oh well. I guess some people are still enjoying this.

Not going to go into detail, it’s all math, everyone can do it.
It’s not mathematically possible to complete this week on time as it is now. From where I am(the ghost tree, which is past most people) I need 292 reels for Lois. That takes just over 5 days with no breaks or sleep. That’s assuming 1 werewolf per hour, which is too quick, and again, no breaks. 5 straight days. It”s also assuming my scream level never changes and raises the cost for the trade ins. And that’s just for Lois, not the 300 reel school skin behind it.
If you really want to see the math, check out Facebook where I posted it. But I thought people should know there’s really no point in trying unless TinyCo makes some massive changes.
This isn’t a complaint or a bitch. It’s numbers, fact.

There are numerous complaints I could post here but the acquiring of silver balls is utterly ridiculous.
Peter, Herbert, and Chris are the only “free” characters that can silver balls.
Their tasks are 6 hours long (should be 3 hours to be fair). Then 45 minutes to load items in prop room.
You can do the math, but a rough estimate is 6 hours plus 3 x 45 minutes is over 8 hours from the time you start to the time you get the last ball. That’s 3 balls to kill 3 werewolves to get about 24 sodas which still isn’t enough to get you any movie reels.
Some of you may say, yeah – but Slasher Cat can get silver balls, too. Ummmm – Not really.
He has to be leveled up a bunch before you can use his task. (What a rip off!).
Why do we need Silver Balls? To get the ridiculous sodas. Good luck getting 25 or 27 sodas by killing bats. You get 1 soda at a time using that method.
Honestly, if I put my class of 4th graders to come up with an unfair scenario to succeed and progress at this game (that is supposed to be fun to play), I don’t think they could think up such a screwed up method.
Finally, 4 tasks for Quagmire??? Really? But nothing for Stewie and Brian?

I don’t now, or have ever been concerned about the need to pay money if you want get all the things, as that has always made sense to me, but I do have a major WTF for phase 2, and that has to do with the werewolves. The concept is fun in theory, but i just learned how it totally screws you up if you do not live in the game. When I woke up most of the characters I had that earned anything, including silver balls, are now werewolves, and I can’t earn enough balls to change them back. So apparently, I am done playing this game until November, since I can’t progress, and all my other characters can earn are coins, and I have enough of them! It is a shame, as I was enjoying this game up until now, even with the crappy exchange rare for reels.

Unless i hit the lottery cause then i would be able to buy clams every day to complete stuff. Bunny must spend 1000 dollars a month clams i unfortunately dont have the budget.

What a horrible event. After two days I have exactly 8 sodas and there is not a single way to earn them. Because of that no reels. I have been stuck at 19 since the switch.
I have not seen a werewolf yet so why the h**** do I keep getting cannons?
I spent money on Startrek, and started to until the tuba issue. Since then I have not spent a penny and they will not see any either. They got enough money from me and all they do is put out events that are broken or require more money every week.
Simple point to TC. Micro transactions are not $20+ bucks at a time. They are 1 or 2 dollars. Same issue I had in my MMO which I discussed long with the devs as I was on the first coule of player councils. You get more people to buy if it is cheap. But that is what happens when a company is bought. I am sure Fox wants their money back quickly.

My new WTD is about the current event.

At this crate it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting much from the projection booth this phase as involves so much work for even one set of reels.
Also, they’ve brought back the targeting from the sky to shoot bombs yet the controlscsre backwards. If I want to move the targeting reticle left, I have to drag my finger right; if I want to move the reticle up I have tocdrsg down and vice versa.

Yup. TinyCo , you had a really dedicated , long time player and big fan untill you no longer provided anything close to ‘fun’ and the game itself turned into one big money grab . Here are my angers/frustrations and reasons as to why your newest Event made me give up on Q4S :
– There was practically no warning about the timed quests
-You keep changing the value of scream points to bump players up to the next level so they need MORE Popcorn for still , a lousy 5films .
– The quests only involve maybe 7 or so characters and then of course you have Peter that could spend 6 hours on pair of sandals ( 18 total )for Death OR spend 6 hours on water balloons ( need countless ammount ) to kill nuns to get popcorn to trade in for film reels to exchange for buildings and skins/costumea to gain scream points to get the next phase in Event . And that’s only ONE of the character overlaps .
-Almost every type of “item needed” are rare & extra rare with corresponding actions taking 6+ hours or obtaining “items needed” by completing multiple-part quests ( some time sensitive )
– I have spent money on this game , the occasional clam pkg here and there to speed tasks/building or for a fun character or building. But with this Event , these “fun” buildings that “always drop” the items we need cost anywhere from 100-300clams !
– And now you’ve introduced vampire bats and garlic … Well , look who One of the TWO characters that can earn the garlic cloves , (which is a 6hr task for both) … Our busy friend Quagmire , who is ALSO needed for items to unlock Death(4hrs- extra rare) AND holy water balloons (5hrs) AND for other quests ?!

This has gone from a WTD to a WTH, Tiny Co is like a person standing on a street corner begging for money instead of getting a dang job. They are demanding that if you want to get some where in this game you will pay out the nose to get there. I have been saving my reels to insure i get slasher cat and i have 165 of 166. The items you get leading up to the cat ranges. But you are only allowed to get 5 reels per 30 to 35 popcorn then you have to wait and take out another nun just to get that single solitary ONE popcorn that you needed to push you over the edge so you can buy what you need to continue in the game. I see from the comments that i am not alone in thinking this is bull crap. Tiny Co should allow us to keep using popcorn to trade for reels and not just take it away from us like that. I have concluded that after i get death as a playable character i am done with this event and hope that the next one will take it easier on FREE players. If Tiny Co wants to help pay my bills then sure ill spend money and buy clams to help them out but to force someone to buy clams just so you can play a game is JUST NOT FAIR! Free players should have the same chance as people that spend money. Sure people that spend money should get a little extra feather in their cap but not to the point they are far too rewarded than the ones who cant afford it. Sorry to rant but i was told this was the place i could say what i needed to and not be chastised for it. Thanks for Reading. Maybe Tiny Co will read this and feel some sort of sympathy for myself and others that feel the same. Good Luck and hope it gets better!

This is getting ridiculous. I went from scream level 2 and a half to a 5 without doing anything. Getting way behind coz i cant get movie reels anymore. Too much steps for a shot at maybe getting an item is just a waste of time that is everything but fun. A game that is no fun is a bad game. Its getting worst every new event.

Yes the same thing happened to me too. I was working at my own pace collecting reels with popcorn. I thought I’d get a decent chance for slasher cat & other items. But now that I’ve gotten bumped up some scream levels, I need soda to get reels. Cannot use all my saved popcorn to trade without soda!! I hardly am getting garlic with just Jerome, Quag, & Quahog PD. & stupid bats give me rainbow unicorns for Meg’s friend instead if soda.. Which due to me being unable to exchange reels I’d never get her anyway! Beyond frustrated & DISSAPOINTED. I always seemed to keep my cool thru every event & was saving my clams in anticipation for Halloween. I’m a freemium player but have spent a few clams here & there.. Nevertheless I’m seriously debating on quitting this game now. I just dont see the point anymore 😢😬😕😥😱😤😰

The hell? I thought Oh I’ll drop some real money and get Michael Meyers, he’s a horror icon and will help me out over all. Oh wait, his one useful ability only unlocks if you have unlocked Channel 5, which I am not even close to because I’ve been trying to unlock Stewie for the last month because not a single item for him drops.
They could at least put his silver ball drop on something he has automatically rather than assuming everyone’s progressed that far.

It is deliberately misleading. I sent a message to support hoping I can get a refund for Meyers because of this.
That’s also a WTD, why is Stewie so hard to get? All his items are at least rare, and the items to make the costumes you need are also hard to get. Plus they are needed in pretty large quantities.

WTD. I know I’m just echo’ing what pretty much everyone else here is saying, but this is just such a blatantly horrible attempt at money gouging people to buy clams.
The LEAST they could do is have the bats be 100% drops, or keep allowing popcorn-only reel trades, or have more characters be useful instead of the same small handful of guys being required for pretty much EVERY TASK. It’s RIDICULOUS how hard it is to get sodas now. I cleared 8 flocks of bats and got ONE soda. Now I need to wait for more vampires AND more garlic. This took me right out of the event completely. It’s not worth it.
And I did leave a crappy review in the app store & on their FB page which are more public than hoping that they read this.
