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 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! 🙂
Just be respectful of others & be mindful of the language while commenting. Censor yourselves so we don’t have to!!
Here’s mine for this week:
WHAT THE DEUCE… 12 Step Program is back, still a lil better, but I would prefer to NOT have it, or cut it down to 2 steps and done.
WHAT THE DEUCE… Pain after surgery SUCKS. Why does someone stabbing me and cutting me all over as well as removing parts have to hurt so much? Where’s the “Future” technology where they beam the bad parts away or midi-chlorians … err… nano-bites come and auto repair you???!!!
Now it’s YOUR turn…give us your WHAT THE DEUCE?! moments! Go on, get it off your chest…you’ll feel a lot better! 🙂
Family Guy Addicts 
For me to have spent as much money on this event as I have, and still be so far behind is beyond ridiculous, and is actually, the last straw as well. I will parse out the remaining clams I have, but I will not purchase any more. As I see it, there are two ways to look at the the last several major events, either there is not a single programmer there who understands how math and time work, or they know exactly what they are doing, which in my opinion, is even worse!

I only made it about 60% through the Christmas event playing every day. That wasn’t much fun at all but I figured the next event would be better. Unfortunately this football event has been much, much worse and I’ve been on the game every two hours since it started with the exception of sleep.
I won two games but decided to quit playing until the next event comes out once I saw what items were required to win Game 3. I didn’t see any way I could earn Richard Sherman and Cheerleader Bonnie was going to be impossible. Touchdown Jesus? Ha! Only if you spend real money on clams. Which I suppose is the point right?
I remember a time when this game was fun as a freemium player.

Add to the leaderboard drama …….
I went to check to see if by some chance any one of my four polite and respectful messages regarding the leaderboard prizes had been answered and ….. they have all been removed from my game without a response or even an acknowledgement of receipt.
So now on top of being treated as a cheater without even making any effort to prove that I cheated, and then ignoring my messages, they now have removed them from existence.
Is this how a company should treat people who they want to spend money with them?
Hey, I get it. You can’t comprehend that people could achieve certain levels without assistance. Except for the fact that you have never verified whether or not this is possible; it is just a theory you have as designers of the game. Well, for 21 months, one thing I have found is that TinyCo has very little clue what is taking place in their own games and even less clue about how math works.
I was to the point where I was going to lay back and wait for Chuggs (the only thing I ever wanted in the first place because I felt I had rightfully done what was required to get him) to come back in a “Best of” event and just craft him since I have very little to do during those events any way. But now that you ignored me and just deleted my messages without even a response, you have awakened the beast TinyCo.
I have too much respect for Bunny and Alissa and the addicts to go into this further, but TinyCo will not be able to ignore the next correspondence they will be receiving with my name on it. Perhaps there are others who have been wrongfully accused who would be interested in joining me.
NOTE FOR MODERATOR: I understand if my last paragraph might be uncomfortable for you to post although I reread your rules and I don’t think I am violating any. At the very least, please post the rest to see if others are in the same situation (having the messages taken away). I really have tried to be patient with this whole thing, let it play out and trust in Bunny’s relationship that she would find sympathetic ears and have someone from Tinyco actually do something about this unfairness. But I do think that the addicts deserve the right to know what has happened with this situation. It really challenges the trust any of us should have in a company that makes a blanket accusation because players reach certain thresholds and then just ignores honest people trying to get an explanation. In none of my in-game messages did I even use the word “cheater” or make any accusations. I played it “dumb” and just outlined my situation and asked for a response. But now I have nothing to show for it except extreme frustration and a very bad taste in my mouth. I love this game and am tremendously devoted to it despite its many, many flaws. But this is highly unfair and a kick in the teeth to a loyal player to first be accused of cheating without proof of those claims and then to be ignored without even acknowledgement.

Are you suggesting that someone may actually respond to one of my messages at some point? Or is it “out of sight, out of mind”? I am not holding out much hope. It is their game and they can do what they want with it. I find it interesting that when individual or small groups of players have issues, they don’t seem real receptive to assisting or listening. Is that because of the many, many fires they are putting out that are affecting a larger player base on almost a daily basis?
I don’t like being called a cheater without any kind of proof to corroborate that claim. And I find it a real problem that they can lump a bunch of players and put a label on them without even doing any investigating whether or not their claim is correct. But, again, it is their game and they can do what they want with it. One of the smartest comments I have read here came from a moderator recently regarding the poll results. I now am firmly in that camp. I hope others join as well.

Bunny, as usual you are all over this. The biggest piece of information would be the proof on their end that the cheating actually took place. That was my request in the last correspondence that I submitted. I am all for them wanting to clamp down on cheating, but not at the expense of players who honestly reached certain numbers. I also surpassed the 8000 medals plateau and was informed that “the report” says that I acquired medals through “inappropriate methods”. I respectfully requested that they show me that proof before just making that assumption. I have not heard back and my messages have been removed as well. I don’t really want to give up on this, but if they continue to be non-responsive I am not sure what we as players can do. I guess I could stop supporting the game either by not purchasing clams or just not playing the game or both. But then I am really the one who suffers because now I am taking something out of my life that gives me enjoyment (despite the many, many flaws and glitches). I have decided to suspend clam purchasing for the time being. I didn’t do any purchasing for the Christmas event because of my gift-purchasing commitment, but I was prepared to return. I don’t spend the clams as much to get ahead in the game as I do to support TinyCo because of how much I enjoy playing. I couldn’t be entertained as much for the same price, so I dip in and splurge on some clams. I am far from “keeping their lights on”, but I wanted to do my part as I thought I understood how business was meant to be done. But now with this debacle, I am really scratching my head. No one could make these accusations without some type of proof. Or maybe they can …….. Regardless, I am questioning my support of the company more based on the shabbily way I have been treated than their many, many problems presenting the game for play.

So having comments in WTD and the poll stats and numbers can be VERY helpful in communications as it is not just me saying “these are my thoughts and results” instead I am saying “these are my thoughts and results AND the same for a huge player base of X amount of people”.
WTD is also a venting platform. If all you read is WTD then yes all you’ll see is anger and venting. It is needed though. Everyone needs a place to go to get something off their chest now and then. 🙂

Finishing three full weeks and yet to have even an acknowledgement of the four messages I have sent in regarding the Christmas leaderboard. Has anyone gotten even a response since the posting asking us to list out how our medals were achieved? All of my messages have been very polite and respectful and just asking them to review my account and outline where they believe the cheating to have taken place. Three weeks to have a message be submitted without a response. We were asked to be patient; I think three weeks is more than patient. And four messages over 20 days fits Bunny’s “wait five days” rule. I would just like them to come out and flatly call me a cheater and that’s why I have received no prizes.
As an aside, I play two games and check in at the same time intervals and my main game (where I was accused of cheating) is significantly behind my secondary game (where I was not even though my medal counts were very similar) for this event. It could just be luck of the draw, but it is definitely something I am monitoring closely. I have been accused of cheating based solely on a blanket assumption and now that game is seeing incredibly poor rates that I have never experienced before. Unfortunately, this company’s track record doesn’t make me think this is solely a coincidence thus far.

I was telling a lawyer friend of mine about this and he immediately said “class action” suit. Not sure I want to take it that far, but this isn’t a very good way of treating people who you want to support you financially. Cripes, all I want is Chuggs.

Perhaps TinyCo should consider using the drop rate labels for districts only and have drops for events be “always”, especially with the 12-step program seeming to be dominant in every event for the last nine months. As a player, if I play the event the way it is designed by going in every two hours to collect and resend, why should I be behind on every event? Increase the end goals to what you want them to be if everything was an “always” drop; at least then I would know realistically how far (or close) I was to achieving something. If you want us to get 12 rare items, make it 48 of the items with an “always” drop. At least I would know I would need X more collections to finish the task. Under this premise, I have no idea since invariably one of the steps fails to produce a needed item.
I got to a point on the football field where two of my three tasks are collect two gloves. That was two days ago and I am still trying because when I am lucky enough to get a sweater to drop (which isn’t often even with three characters working on it) and then craft it into a tackler and get two tacklers ready to go, I end up getting a coin. And I am checking those sweaters every four hours like clock work. The only thing I need for game three is play books and I need 12 of them and the only way to get them is first downs. I am playing the event the way it is designed, but it would seem as though something is not aligned when it is this difficult to get first downs checking my game every two hours. And I am using all the “tricks” by checking the football field before I click anything else.
Save the categories of drops for districts when time isn’t a factor. Heck, make everything “extra rare” and “epic”. The impatient people will use their clams just to have the tasks be over and you might get more clams that way. The current format isn’t a lot of fun and the game should be fun.

I could tolerate the (in)frequency of the jersey drops…if you always got gloves for taking out a football player. I’ve only been getting gloves about 50% of the time, which means I’m nowhere close to getting Brian’s skin. I don’t really like it and wouldn’t be upset about skipping it, except he has a task to drop cans that’s crucial to progressing past Game 5 and probably Game 6 as well. WTD TinyCo…every time I think you understand what drives your players crazy so that you can avoid it, you pull a boneheaded move like this. I can’t even write this off as a freemium vs. premium thing…unless your goal is to have players not play the game and just pay you for the privilege of seeing certain graphics in your town.
On a more pleasant note, well wishes to you that your recovery is swift, Bunny.

I really do enjoy a break from the daily grind by playing this game. It is always a nice break.
But I must add my two cents on how the game has changed. In the early days it was fun. Not a real grind like it is now. When it was fun I would drop some of my hard earned cash on clams. Now that it is a grind I just do the basics and that is it. I used to finish everything in the old days, now I am lucky to get to the midpoint.
This game is like a vacation. If I am having fun, I spend more; if it is a bore the pocket book is closed. Who wants momentos from a vacation that has turned into a grind?

WTD! Touchdown Jesus is a premium costume in disguise, I’m afraid. It looked reachable last week, but the playbook/ jersey/ glove bottleneck will make it very difficult to even get Bonnie’s cheerleader costume. The playbook requirement for game 3 is so high and can only be met by traveling down the field several times, but progressing down the field requires tasks involving those #%&# gloves, which are not dropping well and require jerseys, which are also not dropping well. Le sigh. The next bottleneck will be Fit Brian to generate energy drinks, getting him will also delay game wins but he seems essential for that task if you’re freemium.
I hear that Gronk can generate jerseys- but how long is his task for that? And how well is he dropping the jerseys? Not sure if it’s worth delaying the game 3 win to get Gronk. I just need weights for Gronk, but also need them to win game 3. I just put Chris on the weights collecting job but his task is long. It’s only a three week event, which is making the bottleneck more of a problem than it would otherwise be.

I was having fun with this event until WTD??? The gloves appeared. As pointed out, I too have only gotten 1 shirt for every two attempts…so I spend 12 hours to get 4 shirts, then another 4 hours to create the football players to get two chances at gloves and so far 1/2 the time i get it so I am getting 1 set of gloves per day….why does this company do this?
I have complained many times in these to TINYCO saying they should have an event with 1 thing. Doing the football helmets, collecting items like in week 1 was fun, I enjoyed it, it was well paced and then they THROW IT IN THE TOILET by having a different item to collect. Now all your helmets are meaningless, start collecting gloves and by the time you get enough to unlock Sherman it’ll be week three and we’ll have more garbage to mess you up.
I have only unlocked 2 games, so still a long way to go to get Sherman. Heck only have 2 gloves towards getting the brian outfit, so that won’t happen. I was making an effort but once the gloves came into play and after two days of barely getting anything I just put it on the back burner and look at it maybe 3 or 4 times a day rather than every 2 hours.
Don’t care any more about new characters that do nothing once you get them. Don’t care about more buildings in an already crowded city, don’t care about having 5 or 6 characters that are needed to collect all the items but also need to do ridiculously long questlines.
I will stick with Simpsons as I play that on a regular basis. Once I burn through my clams (or find a reason to use them) I will probably say goodbye to Family Guy. And too think when I first started playing in April of 2014 (both FG and STO) I was all team FG, thought Simpsons was kind of dumb..how times have changed.

That you can actually miss a tackle is a terrible concept no matter how realistic. Because the way the circle sets up it screws up a tackle now I have to wait 3 hours for one more jersey to wait one more hour for it to create that’s crazy. Like something so minor can screw up the whole day for the game what’s the point. Just like the leaderboards for Christmas, like what? They played the event for a month before they released it and knew how many medals you could acquire without cheating or something? its like this company enjoys ppl sending them tons of complaints each event they have and then not doing anything about them. Maybe if the games was more manageable tapping wise and a circle to tackle a football player isn’t scued so that it can miss when it’s directly on the player it would be easier. like there’s an actual thing that shows a football player needs one more tackle if you miss him like they give you so many chances to fail at these events when there not bombarding you with premium premium and clam specials

WTD Tinyco. Do I even need to say it?
WTD house. Why do you run out of hot water once I am soaped up and have no choice but to continue.
WTD dog. I put you out before taking the boy to the bus. I am gone 10 minutes at most. Why do you poop on the floor? Revenge? Come on. You can’t miss me that much.
WTD cat. 2am is not cuddle time.
WTD toaster. How come the toast comes out completely different levels of doneness on the same setting? I don’t enjoy gambling with my breakfast.
WTD rabbit. Trix is not worth this much headache man, munch on a carrot or something.

Saved up 6 football players knowing I would need them to progress down field at some point. Challenge came up to take out two and one plus Bonnie Twerk It. Used all 6 for the 3 chances. COINS every time. Messaged TC. Their reply was “common is not a guaranteed drop.” Game is simply not worth the frustration and aggravation. Day one player, but this is the last straw. I’m done.

WTD why only 2 characters drop energy drinks and one of them has to be unlocked by getting rare drops? Gronkowski was been working on getting jerseys since Phase 2 started and has yet to drop one.

What The Deuce! … Why is Richard Sherman’s jersey number mirrored backward after completing one of the quests? 😯
I also agree with the playbook amount needed being too high for the only way they can be obtained.

WTD….. Why does astronaut Peter have to be in an mystery box that is extra rare and costs 150 clams!?!?! And energy drinks seriously *sigh*. I’m doing okay but game 3 is so crazy with the playbooks. Well there’s my rant.

Everybody needs to message TinyCo to demand more characters be able to drop Jerseys. 2 characters for a 4 hour possible drop is ridiculous. There should be at least 2 more characters, so even if you don’t get 2 drops you can progress in some way. Waiting 10-16 hours to gain 10 yards is garbage.

Are you getting quests to collect jerseys in order to move down field? I’m only seeing gloves which also has a horrific drop rate.

The task needed is to collect Glove(s), which you get be taking out the Rival Player, using a Starting Player that can only be trained if you have Jerseys… So ultimately, it is the Jersey collection that slows down this whole process. After Phase 2 started (Thursday evening), I couldn’t get a single First Down until sometime Saturday, due to having to collect a deucin’ Glove! The drop rate on the Jerseys, and on the Gloves themselves, certainly seems less than “Common” /”Chance” would indicate, and one or the other should be “Always”, in my opinion.

I’m only getting gloves and am also finding it impossible to progress.

I have to agree on the gloves. Takes forever to produce those starters, and then they probably don’t even drop… *sigh*
By now I should now, it is the same with all the big events, but it still aggravates me. I have resigned myself to the fact that I won’t get everything, but still. Can’t bring myself to move on, either, because I am still hoping TinyCo will eventually ‘fix’ all problems. Fat chance 😉

I give up. This game is just no fun. Video games are suppose to be fun and relaxing. Not angry and frustrated. The drop rates were good until second phase. I have been trying for 2 days 2 get 2 sets of gloves to progress down the field. It is impossible to finish this event without spending loads of money. I prefer to give mine to charity.

I’ve been thinking the same thing lately. I play 6-8 times a day and that isn’t enough to get halfway through the events anymore. The fun is gone since I know I have no chance to get the prizes. And then I remember that even if I do get a character, it goes straight to inventory. I’m seriously thinking of quitting it completely.

WTD!!!…yeah okay there at the beginning i was enjoying this event hell i’m not a super huge football fan like i was a while back so i’m jus gonna lay back a little while til this event is all over. i’m only wanting to get Cheerleader Bonnie and not too worried about Jesus’ skin since i’ve HAD him when he was released. it’s jus not worth buying up a ton of clams when if you do and use them you don’t even get much FARTHER than a person who is NOT spending and using up clams…

Seems drop rates are already the main theme of this WTD. Wrote in to TC and got the typical canned “items dropping as intended” response. Every event has this issue at some point and it’s always the same response when reporting.
Looking at the number of energy drinks and the current way to get them makes me question whether they even play/test their own game before releasing. Games should be fun. This is constant frustration coupled with a company not in step with their players concerns. And don’t get me started with the premium football players and the fact they are not voiced.
May be time to move on.

I’ve been stuck on 80 yards out for over 24 hours now because it’s requiring me to get TWO gloves just to gain 10 yards. I can’t even get ONE. Looks like it’ll be a miracle for me to win Game 3 at this point.

I’m sure I’m not the first and won’t be the last, but that latest mystery box…. What the deuce?! I feel it was kind of dirty to intentionally weight it so that costume would probably be last to pick, especially without giving the players a heads-up that it was an ultra-rare drop.

My normal WTD…..Drop rates!!!!! I can already see that I probably won’t even get to Bonnie’s cheerleader outfit, let alone the Brian fit skin. I am not asking for the anything big, just better drops. My common and uncommon items are taking for her to drop. It’s almost like they are rare and Tinyco just doesn’t want to tell us. Drop rates…..they suck so bad!!!

Worst event they’ve done since I started playing the game. I had a feeling it was going to be bad when it took me 6 tries to get my first helmet, but I had hoped it would get better. It didn’t. Nearly everything is dropping like its Alice’s boots from Halloween so I’m done. I put in tons of effort on these events and up until this one that was enough for me to get everything I wanted even if it took me until right at the end to do it. With this one though its clear I’m not going to make it anywhere close to getting Bonnie’s outfit and since that’s the only thing in the event I have any interest in at all there’s no point in continuing.
