Family Guy Addicts 
I am highly disappointed with tiny co and the level of disrespect towards avid players like myself. Every single event that you guys drop, I buy clams and yet you still find a way to **** us over. I clicked on ruperts chest and it clearly shows all the prizes. Why am I getting repeats of the prizes ? I received two repeats on 50 clams, I received two repeats on the 3 dog coins, I received two repeats on the human control truck, I received two repeats on the human walker. No where does it state on ruperts mystery box that the prizes can be repeated. If you don’t want to release bitch Brian, jasper or 250 clams then don’t advertise them on the front page and expect the public not to get pissed off at you guys stealing our clams. I want four 300 clams added to my account on grounds of misleading and abusing the mystery box. How dare you give me 4 repeated items in a roll ? 4 times 75 is 300. I will not go and place the items I won in my town. You will go in my game and remove ONE Human Control Truck and One human walker. And you can take your precious 3 dog coins back. I am highly upset. You need to fix this and I have screen shots and you can check my account that I just purchased 20 dollars worth of clams. By devoted customers like myself, keeps your job safe. So try not **** us over. I want this fixed now !!!!!!
That’s what I sent tiny co. Please disregard the F word I typed it twice but I don’t mean to insult anyone on family guy addict. This website has helped me many times. Bunny has been my guide from day one. I’m just mad

Well, they finally did it. Congratulations T-Co, after well over a year of playing, countless events and numerous clam purchases the rolling disaster that was Halloween finally made me come to terms with the fact that the steep downhill slide begun with the Star Trek event is just the new T-co world order…and that’s just not fun to play any more. Family Guy’s spot on my phone now belongs to another game. Thanks Addicts for all your hard work. I’ll still enjoy your efforts on the TSTO side of things.
For anyone from TinyCo who might be reading this I have the following parting words…#$@$@! ##$@!!! I regret every penny I paid you and will remember that in the future if I am ever tempted to download any game with the name TinyCo attached to it.

Wtd… For the Halloween event…
This was their worst event. First & foremost, it was one dimensional. Task, que, take out, trade in for reels. 6 wks of the same thing.
I hear people talk all the time about the greed of tinyco, which I generally dismiss, but this one was bad. Most events they have options to buy a currency generator of differing value… this one they had 5!
Personally, I bought Chucky, Michael, & Super Devil which left me with 100’s of materials but not enough time to finish up anything cause of the limitations of the que. The premium characters had little to no value vs the soda/ licorice/popcorn guys.
& what the *** was with pulling and refunding (as intended?). It didn’t affect me but… a **** move.
Love & affection…

LOL, I couldn’t even reach phase 5, or whichever phase you got the ice-creams, in spite of playing a lot. I got Death’s mom and Meg’s friends though after ‘helping out’ the drops a little bit with my hard earned clams. This event was horrible. I thought the Maffia one was the worst and hardest, but this time Tiny ubered itself. And I agree with all hose people before me: he one week extension was planned long ago, and it wasn’t for us to help, I t was for them earning more ral-life clams. Sad. Welp, I have Death family, so that’s at least a little consolation.

It is so sad… Before i actually used money on this game because the price was ok, the themes where ok and I had a really good time.
Now I’m sad every time a new challenge is on; because I will never get that feeling of actually accomplishing anything. And I’m not about to use over 173$ on one character in a game on my iPad because I have to work and because you are greedy.
(I have invested that money in big fish games and donut games, it was cheaper To buy 10 of their games)
I was stuck on part 1 for a really long time, just because I couldn’t get Louise. So now I’m more like naarf.. I’m getting really tired if the game! Thought that Halloween would be as cool as last year (I loooved last year!), so I logged on after a break of about 6 months and i guess you hate your players?

Yeah I think I mirror most commenters here:
1) This event was terrible. Week one looked like it might be OK, but then started going horribly wrong.
2) I have only made it up to the phase where ice cream is the new turn in requirement and hook hand is the final reward. No idea what phase that technically is since I feel so far behind.
3) From week 3 on we all posted our concerns and TC has done nothing. With each phase they made it harder to push on and made people already frustrated and angrier more so. The stupid ice cream cones and their turn ins was the last straw for me. Addicts even did a poll of people. Did anyone say we want less options for reel turn ins? I have tons of other mats, but am stuck because you have to clean ice cream cones. Then you have to clear what’s on the screen in order to get more options, all of which require cones.
4) Drop rates…..grrrrrr….ok so not too too bad for most characters, though still hoping to get my last plate. But the magnets that are needed for the stupid cones. I’m at a bout a 50% drop rate. All others are 100% for the material except magnets. WTD. Again while we all complain about how much we are not enjoying the game you continue to make it harder. Don’t you understand you could win back your customer and player base a lot better if you let us have a win?
5) BS on the extension. Don’t try and make it seem like you’re doing us a favor. You already had it mapped out to extend or have it run this long. It only benefits TC so we buy the more new items dropped in game or spend to speed up and get the new content. If TC truly cared they would have extended it by a week with no new content added. Let everyone catch up, but no.
6) I sent characters on tasks only to have them not doing anything when next I logged in. I also know I saw more magnets drop when collecting than I had in the shed to create tools. I.e. I’d see 4 magnets appear on the screen yet when I go to create the magnet gun I’d only have 3. WTD. Yet again you make it so hard.
7) The clam buy outs were outrageous. I’m sitting at 121 reels. 125 are needed for the basilisk den. Guess what the clam buyout is? 500 clams!!! WTD. You don’t even make it so it is reasonable to spend to catch up. Greedy or dumb or maybe both. If my reels offset the costs a few times I might have spent to catch up, but definitely not 500 clams for one building.
8) I’m sick and tired of the timed quests. At the very least pop up a warning that says the quest you are about to start is timed. Would you like to start yes/no. Honestly if it wasn’t for this website TC would be sunk with all the crap they do. Who would know anything about the game? We’d all be pulling our hair out of not for the addicts and that’s a terrible way to design game play.
6) The events recently have all been giant cluster fs. The last good events that I would deem fun and enjoyable where the ComicCon event and last years Halloween event with the ghostbusters theme. Goals were a stretch, but achievable. Get back to that.

I agree with everyone else about the reels. Trying to get the ice cream has completely changed the game for me. Its not fun anymore because I can’t seem to get the extra rare dishes for death’s mom because I can’t get enough reels for the basilisk den, so whatever. I’ve actually spent real money on this game and I’m really getting mad about it.

Please everyone, stop asking for land. And definitely stop asking for land in a post where you complain about your game lagging or crashing. More land would mean more lagging and more crashing because it would be more area and more buildings/decos that would need to load into your game session.
You need to put items in storage. I know we all like to make our Quahogs pretty and themed, but it isn’t possible. It was early in the game, but not now. Any deco that I am forced to purchase immediately goes into storage. I might buy event decos but only if it is for currency that is “use or lose” variety. And those go straight into storage. Only characters on task or that are still being leveled to max are in my game. It allows me to have characters immediately available for tasks when new content drops. I do have every building that earns coins in my game so I have a revenue flow that way. But I have $11M banked so I doubt very seriously that I will ever run out.
I do have crashing problems during events when the extra area is being used, but not when that area is not in our games. With so many buildings the last two events and those events running so close, I will be interested to see if that continues after tomorrow when the area is removed.
Of course, I would like more land. I have all my buildings “tetris”-ed into corners so I have playing area. But I would rather sacrifice a pretty Quahog so I can play the game. What is worse than collecting all your characters and buildings and resending them on tasks only to have the game crash and have to do it all over again?
TinyCo can barely plan out mini-events without some sort of major snafu (and forget major events). Do you honestly think they can figure out how to give us all more land AND not have the game crashing upon opening it every time?
LikeLike
If TSTO can do it, they should be able to as well. If its really true that these issues of land and lag exist, then we must be forced to look ahead and realize that this game will have to come to an end eventually.
The fact that everything you buy has to go into storage kinda makes the game pointless. It certainly makes pointless buying ANYTHING besides characters for clams, as you will never be able to display and enjoy it.
Basically right now my town is nothing but the houses and the most task heavy buildings. I have tons of land, because thats the only way I can play without lag, even then its choppy most of the time.
The game has certainly changed since the beginning, and not really for the better.

I completely agree with giving up on this game. Events are no fun when it comes down to an endless grind to be able to keep up – or even end up over a week behind. I play every other hour every day, often even once during the night. The reels have been a constant PITA, with the ice cream requirement for almost any exchange being the final straw. I currently have literally hundreds of other items that are useless due to not getting ice cream any way near fast enough.
To really add insult to injury, the game frequently (several times per day) does not register that I have sent characters to tasks, or added magnets/barrels/whatever to the queue, resuming in me returning to characters walking aimlessly around, and no items to use for snacks. Reported this do Tiny Co in-game months ago, but not a reply to be seen.
The game is also a lagfest, even on a high end device, and frequently results in pop-ups about the game not responding after I have quit it, and/or battery drain while the phone is idle.

I agree with Kris about the film reels. I haven’t got any of the timed prizes as they all needed more reels than you could get in 24hrs. I keep ending up with loads of popcorn and no way of using it because the trades require other materials for a time. I know it has been said a lot but we need more land!!! There is not enough space for the items you win in events or the million items in storage and I have $3m doing nothing.

Why have the characters (which you then have to actually unlock once you’ve “earned ” them) right at the end of each block of stuff you have to earn?
Having to jump through hoops to earn SB Lois was the beginning of the end for me, because it just took way too long to work through all the other stuff. If it had been like Death’s Mom, i.e. second in the queue, it would have been more realistic and still a challenge. You still need the rest of the items to finish the level.
And come one, I’ve had Jerome tied up being chased by a car for over a week because he needs to be rescued by Death’s Mom, when I hadn’t even reached the part where I could actually earn her!
TinyCo seem to have forgotten the main premise of a game. It can be challenging, but essentially it’s meant to be fun.

Hey TinyCo, what is the deal with the stranglehold in recent events?
First, there is the bottleneck known as the Movie Prop Shack. I have over 100 of each craft item (except magnets), but I can only create one lousy prop at a time. Even your Clam option for +4 slots is laughable since I am still restricted to one-at-a-time creation, so why bother? It feels like I am being controlled – being limited in how much progress I am allowed to make.
Second, there is the farce known as the Concession Stand. It is even more ridiculous in here where I have over 100 each of the Popcorn and Chocolate, plus over 350 of the Soda. Yet I am forced to choose from a handful of options for film reels – all of which now require Ice Cream. Nevermind the fact that the options had been constantly changing through the entire event.
Were it not for these factors, I may well have enough film reels to complete all the items in the Movie Projection Booth. I have the resources, but the limitations are keeping me at a snail’s pace and unlikely to come even close to finishing.
Why, TinyCo?
Have we somehow offended thee?
Were we having too much fun without spending Clams?
Is it some kind of power-mad thing?
Is Lucifer himself designing the game mechanics?
And no one is buying the whole “extension” B.S.. Maniac Pope has been lurking on FaceSpace since day one of the event, yet he only became available after the event was supposed to have originally ended. Nevermind an entire week’s worth of questlines, craft items, and premium characters – all supposedly whipped up at the last minute for your “extension”. It was as transparent now as it was during the Star Trek event. Please…
How about not insulting our intelligence?
Why not just tell it like it is?
What else are we being deceived about?
Lastly, I resent the fact that Pinhead became completely useless after unlocking Death’s Dog. Every other premium character had a task for craft items, and Pinhead got a task for Rubber Steaks. Thanks for nothing…
If this is a sign of things to come, then I too will be counted amongst the number who have abandoned this game in favor of something that is simply fun – and not a strain on my time, my patience, and my wallet.
Get it together TinyCo!!!
On a positive note, thanks so much to the Addicts team for creating this little gripe zone. I needed to get that off my chest for a while now… Keep up the good work on this site.

This is the event that broke the camels back. I’m pretty much done with this game now. I’ve been playing since the 1st Halloween event. I regularly spend claims but usually only for new characters. I have been able to get everything in each event except the mob event where I was had the same issues as everyone had with the drops and behind behind at least a week.
This event has been nothing but a cluster. If it wasn’t for you gals I would have missed out on a bunch of stuff due to the no warning timed unlocked character quests. It’s probably hyperbole but this is criminally bad game design to trigger a timed quest without notice while needing a character or items that you can’t access to finish the timed quest within the time limit.
OMG the reels! Not only do you need ridiculous amounts to open stuff but obtaining them has been hell. To have to collect stupid items to turn them into another items is dumb. To have a character be able to move out of the sight of the item you are trying to use so you end up wasting said item is even dumber. The prom night building skin triggered before I even got to the point of triggering it was unfair. If I wanted to buy it outright for clams it was $50 in clams are you frighing kidding me? Now we have these rotating trade values. I thought I was doing good and would be able to save for hook hand but all my other items are pretty much worthless and I need some combo of ice cream cones only now. Getting ice cream probably wouldn’t be too bad except for the fact that the item you need to drop is not an always drop! Come on!
They did a free items with purchase of clams which no one needed. Now they did free reels for clams which was nice but to get the offer with the most reels you have to purchase the first offer to get the 2nd offer. You greedy SOBs. I’m done with this money grab. Got all the characters except hook hand and the pope thanks to this sites warnings. I’m missing out on ghost face and pinhead because the amount of clams I needed which I was willing to purchase but was waiting on a free reels sale is hidden behind another clam purchase trigger. Also would have liked to get Tiffany but you hid her in a random chance purchase. Just sell her outright. I’ve only been this frustrated during tapped outs first Easter event. They seemed to learn a lot from the wheel of chance and fixed it.
How can you come after tapped out and not only make the same mistakes but find even worse ones to create and screw fans over with? Goodbye from a once paying customer.

I found that it crashes (on EVERY platform! Android, iOS…) whenever you have a bunch of stuff out (as you may be alluding to about the need for “static mode”). Mine did this to the point of being nearly unplayable until I nuked the entire town (i.e., stored everything away) and then spent a huge amount of time figuring out what all needed to be out in order to do the event. That included the characters that do something for the event and not only buildings that drop something important, but buildings that are needed to enable the critical tasks for characters that do something for the event. Then I was constantly having to look through again and again as new phases came along to see whether characters or buildings became important that weren’t earlier. What a stinking headache. Also, what good is it to have spent all that time acquiring all this junk if I can only put out a limited amount of it to look at? And by limited amount, I mean a whole lot less stuff than I own. Just putting away a handful of stuff doesn’t improve the stability.

Well, I spent a decent amount of clams this time and I’m STILL a week or so behind coming up on the end, frantically trying to get Death’s mother, and it looks like at the very least I won’t get the two extra-rare items I need in time and maybe not some of the other things. Then there is all that stuff that would come after this which I haven’t even started thinking about. Needless to say, I at least wanted to get through Death’s Mother and won’t quite make that and have missed a whole lot of stuff. With the clams I spent I might have at least gotten a bit further if I could have logged in every 2 hours for the entire event but I do have those work days when I just can’t sneak a login for a while, and weekends where I’m away and I might go 6-8 hours between logins. So you not only have to spend a bunch of clams, unless you spend ludicrously ridiculous amounts of them, you’re going to have to also figure out how to work logging in every 2 hours into your life. I got clobbered by the drop probabilities (as always), the stupid rotating trade values at the theater, the points where I’d have a lot of stuff collected and then suddenly a new phase kicks in and whatever I had is no longer useful and now I need something different (hello, ice cream), and speaking of the ice cream, having it take 4 magnets which require 4 hour tasks from just a few characters who only drop them about slightly less than half the time was just cruel.

I spent an insane amount on clams, just to see if I could even get one of these “Freakin Hard” prizes. Really wanted Manic Pope.
I have 200 reels. Game ends tomorrow at 3pm. No more clam rushing materials, no more speeding up drops. No more, nope. I’ll use up the clams I have left at some point, but not on this event. I actually did the math. Let’s say I buy more, up to 900, and maximize my rushing. I still won’t be anywhere near getting the prize. And, I’ve been majorly clam rushing to get reels for a while now. Please forgive me, players! 😉 It was all in the name of science.
Been playing since launch. And I took it with a grain of salt that this is “the worst event ever.” Because, well, PeePants, King Butt, and so many others have been labeled “the worst event ever.”
But for serious, though…. I get $#!t on all day at work. I don’t need my game time to feel like a damn job where I’m pretty much just used and the only thing important is the almighty dollar/pound/sheckle/clam. Seriously, can TC just show a modicum of respect to its players?

Let me stat by saying I enjoy this game…but the creators have gotten so much wrong.
Coins earned from the game are literally worthless. I have over 8,000,000 and have nothing to spend it on. How about letting us buy clams with them. If I have so many of them and can’t possibly spend them all, then whats the point in continuing to send characters out on missions solely to collect coins.
We need more real estate. I have been playing from the begining. I have unlocked every district and played every event. I have accumulated so many buildings that my characters don’t have much room to roam. It would also be nice to be able to have the game assist in organizing buildings buy time. Im just guessing but I bet I have about 200-300 buildings. Its hard to move those around to when I want to “freshen” up my town.
