Peter’s Booty Haul – How Did You Do Poll

So after almost 5 long weeks of fighting Blackbeard’s fleet, peace is finally returning to the waters of our Quahogs. But how about your inner peace, are you happy with your haul? Has it left you feeling like you’re walking on water? Or are you cursing your luck at missing out on a character and still feeling a little sea sick?

For the first time I’ve been blogging with you throughout a whole event, and as much as the seas got a bit stormy I’ve honestly had a blast, so thanks for the welcome. You know by now I’m a bit of a nosy Nora and like to gather information from you, so I was wondering if my fellow addicts would be willing to complete a couple of end of event polls for me.

splash-screen

These polls are really just to share how we all did. I personally had fun during this  event, but thought they could have been a bit more generous on drops, but as ever it certainly kept me busy and I’m happy with my haul, (even my impulse buy of TinkerBell). And I’m hoping many of my fellow addicts are too.

So have a seat and take a minute away from your games to share your success with us and I will bring you the results next week.

And remember if you’ve any tips to help players with future events please leave a comment also.

  1. As suggested, tips for what i did to be able to complete everything, i have a couple that i think helped me.
    1) when making the buildings I did NOT do them in order, I did the buildings that dropped the item i needed for that weeks main currency (the bottles for the ship battles or oars/anchors) then any building dropping an unlocking character/costume item, then any others in “normal” order.
    2) Every character that could drop multiple items or do multiple tasks, i had a priority order of what todo – anything to speed up getting the buildings that drop stuff; then any item/task only that character can drop/do; lastly, even if I finished getting things, keep using them to get extras (like cannonballs even in week 4, or still using the 1st weeks pirate ship)
    3) Even when i didn’t need anything specific from it, keep building up (but not using) any power up currency. Example from this event = i kept sending people out on the ships, and turning the items into Rum barrels so i could power up the newest ship a bunch right away

  2. This, FINALLY, was a good event again. It was completly finishable as a freemium player (like myself) and while the event could have been easier to finish with the clam characters, they were not needed – I will grant, i was still doing the “final” questline & had not finished those, but it was finally, FINALLY an even that could be completed. Its been agaes since we could do that (since the never sufficently ***ed mob boss event) that we could actually finish it. If the Haunting one continues the trend of actually having completable weekly pacing, i might even consider buying characters again

    (Just to be clear, as a freemium player doing the 4 times a day every 4 hour checks i could finish collecting every character, & costume and even the “hard” buildings before the event ended. I did not finish the event questing mind you, but at least i could get all the freemium items, instead of getting stuck on week 3 like the last few events did)

  4. We need other options for the “Which returning characters/costumes did you buy during Peter’s Booty Haul” poll. One for “none of the above” and another for “Returning characters/costumes????” as I had no idea any of that stuff was being sold. I checked all of the event items rigorously, but I almost never look through the rest of the store (except when I level up)

  6. Odd thing…most the event I was “qualified” for the second tier prize and when the event completed it said the same thing…just for fun I tapped on the Leaderboards trophy a moment ago and now it says I am “unranked”?!? How could it change after the polls were completed?!!? I now understand why people get so overly frustrated by these silly Leaderboards.

    Thanks for any insight on what happened?!?!

    • It did the same thing last time there was a leaderboard, after the event ends they go back & remove any cheaters they can find. It took almost 2 weeks for the items to get given out last time – to be fair, they get given out individually, so it can take awhile sometimes. Generally, if you were on the board, your final rank score will tend to be a little higher after they remove the false accounts & the cheaters, so oddly, the longer it takes to give them out, the more cheaters are getting removed & the better a honest players score can get 🙂

      And it’s hard to even think of how one could cheat?? Using clams maybe?? Idk, i didn’t use many clams for anything, I was just checking every 4 hours (due to lack of sleep) and was able to keep up with the bottle drops enough to always keep 2 or more boats battling at a time. So I hope I get the bird I was ranked for, or hey if they throw people out maybe I can get the Stewie skin lol

  9. I wasn’t overly impressed by the latest event…I never made it to phase four and didn’t quite get Daggermouth. I was close, but I was close for DAYS…my last dozen or so shots at fishing I only got two gears. I’ve played for a while and I’ve NEVER finished an event, and I play fairly often.

    Now that my Quahog has all the districts and I have a few million dollars, I decided to start plating TSTO, too – didn’t want to establish two games once. The first event I started from the beginning, I got too the end. That was nice. Each game has things to recommend it, but I gotta admit the events in Quest For Stuff can get annoying with the amount of things that can only be purchased.

  10. Bummed, as I finally got to week 3 content at the end of the event, even as a several times a day player and sometimes clams user. The leaderboard never was populated for me during the time it existed in the event, so I have no idea where I was on it (or not). Somewhat bummed about the drop rates for characters and use of few (and or costume-level) characters for fighting the ships. This did not feel as bad as some of the previous events were, but I definitely felt like I was grinding away at bombing octopuses and (eventually) sending Peter and Lois to battle ships for worthless fleet upgrade barrels. Thankfully the shop allowed one to buy items at will instead of in sequence as in some events, which made the event feel more friendly to the player. I also like the water use in the game area. I hope the future events allow for longer-time players to be able to use the characters earned and/or purchased from previous events for additional activities/quests/game progress: being a level 60 play r with over 12 Million (mostly worthless) coins should amount for -something- in this game…

  11. I posted these thoughts elsewhere but I’ll post here too: I hated this event. The drop rates were terrible, I was always seemingly “one short” for everything, one short to attack the squid, one short to attack the boats, a few coins or items short to buy the buildings needed, and adding insult to injury, making the last week’s required items a RARE drop? Are you kidding? Even the common drops were acting more like uncommon drops (as in, I would not get a drop on a 6-8 hour item I needed, it was brutal). This needs to change, as this event wasn’t fun at all. Once you get behind on a week 1-2 item/quest/person to unlock, you’re thrown off for the rest of it so you might as well just give up. I refused to spend a single clam on this event with the way it was behaving with the drops. And the leaderboard reflected my pain, at one point I was all the way down to 4995/5000!

    I sincerely hope TinyCo is listening, but I doubt they care.

    • I’m sorry, GV, but if you didn’t spend a single clam, and still made the leaderboards, I would say that you were doing pretty well! And it is not reasonable to expect TinyCo to give everyone everything for free: The simple fact of the matter is that they need to make money to stay in business.

      Personally, I used up around 100 clams [they were all “earned” through quests and videos, not bought], so I did make the leaderboards (around 1100th), but I was very surprised to do so, as I was spending clams to get characters and buildings, not caring about the leaderboards.

      All in all, I did better in this event than in any other, and that, along with the way that they used the water area, made this my favourite event so far.

    • The reason the results aren’t shown is some of the questions allow multiple answers, so the automatic results would not show the true picture, the results need to be taken and calculated by the amount of respondees. Simple polls such as that in the Daggermouth Questline post with only one answer allowed will give instant results, as will urgent polls where we are seeking information to feedback to TinyCo, however the type of questions asked here won’t show results as I said due to the data needing collated. I guarantee you if I change the setting to show instant results other people will highlight fact they aren’t correct due to the multiple answers hence the delay, once proper calculations are done the full results will be brought to you in a follow up post once the poll ends, that’s one the benefits of Bunny having some help on here, we can find the time to do follow up posts. It’s not a case of you won’t ever see the results, honest. The post with the results will be up on Saturday. And please don’t feel you have to complete the polls, they are just there for player interaction and fun, no hassle, no stress if you pass on them. Hope this makes things a bit clearer on why no results on this post’s polls.

  20. As far as leaderboards go, I know it rubbed a lot of keen long-time players the wrong way, but I did well out the first Peterpalooza one and managed to get the first place Starbright Express Peter. The 29 (IIRC) people I was up against must have been very casual players, many of which probably not even playing every day. It was this victory that made me play a lot more. I feel bad for everyone who were up against hardcore premium opponents though.

    Since then though I’ve usually not done that well and was unranked throughout all of this one. When the event ended I had only just entered phase 4, and didn’t ever get enough champagne drops to initiate even one attack.

    There was one event I did well at. Greek Life. No idea how but I was able to mostly keep up with that and get all the leaderboard goodies including Hercules. Was that event just unpopular? I loved a lot of the architecture in that one, and a lot of the new pirate stuff will go well with it.

    Anyway, yesterday I blew all my cursed treasure (over 1000 of it) on sea serpent parts. It’s possible to make walls out of animated serpent heads and tails (one square each), and long tunnels out of the bodies (1×3 squares each)!

  21. I think some changes should be made to how the leaderboards work. I think my first leaderboard was in the mob event and i did get a prize but since then there hasn’t been much point in trying. As freemium player i don’t stand a chance of getting anywhere near a prize anymore as the premium players are hundreds of currency ahead in the first few days alone. If tinyco took away the ability to rush leaderboard tasks or buy currency i think it would be a fairer contest.
    I hope people don’t think I am having a rant as this just an observation 😃

  22. I was one item short for Carter, and 20 wheels short for Davy Iones. Another half day and I would have had them. I thought Daggermoutth was pretty easy.

    My main issue was the drop rates on items you needed to attack the different fleets. I think I only was able to attack the last one three times. I was pretty diligent during this event and still came up short. Going forward I think I will just skip the last week of any events unless I can unlock a character from the show that I really want.

  24. I was a few days late getting into the last phase so didn’t seriously try for Carter’s costume. I would have needed another half day to get the last wheels for Davy Jones plus do Seamus’s 12 hour task, but he’s so ugly that I didn’t bother using clams to get him. Unlocked the other freemiums, though. Foolishly spent 300 earned clams on the mystery box that had all characters, got one I didn’t want but also one I’ve really wanted for a while (Jillian). So that’s a win though overpriced.

    The wine bottles for the fourth saffron-producing boat attacks dropped so slowly that I didn’t get the wine bottle dropping building until just before the end… So I didn’t get anything else on page 4. But I had collected so much stuff from other attacks while waiting that I was able to go back and buy the four remaining buildings on pages 1-3. Including the last items on two pages!

    Once I did the math and gave up on the wheels from the giant squid, I amused myself buying remaining decos for fish bones or gold coins (had plenty of both) and then bought several long closely spaced rows of those tropical fish to see the array squirt in unison. Pain and a half storing them all after the event, but maybe I’ll find a use for them some day. Will still be collecting clams from Shipwreck Point for a few days, so kept out my original loop of tropical fish guiding me to the point. Most stuff from the event is stashed away except boats and a few nice buildings. Some of them might make nice Halloween decorations. Or for the Day of the Dead…

  25. I didn’t read tips on here and I think that’s why I probably didn’t do so well. I never figured out how to bomb octopi efficiently, or how to get enough alcohol for certain ship battles, and it was a slow event as a result.

    Also, useful drops from fishing essentially stopped a few days ago, so I wound up thisclose to daggermouth but unable to complete, which was frustrating.

    I wish they had a way in the game to quit an event when you know you can’t go any further or do any more. I would have liked to turn that part off (avoid the annoyance of knowing I’d lost) but still go for stewie bucks and whatnot.

I didn’t finish the main quest line, got to Pt 4 of the last phase, and I only unlocked five characters/outfits (Seamus, Salty, Daggermouth, Lois and Peter Pan).

I don’t do the Mystery Boxes at all – just don’t think it’s worth the value (Learned from experience – to me, they are in the category of ‘fooled me once’ for me.)
