UPDATE BUNNY 945PM EST: There is a hold on the Event for Halloween right now. We will update when we get more information. For now, enjoy the break and time to breathe a bit and maybe pass off a few tasks that you have hanging out for months (or is that just me? Lol). I assume if we see anything tomorrow, it will be the usual 6-9pm ish TinyCo time… but that is only a complete guess. WHEN it actually rolls around, you will see a new post go up on the site letting you know. 🙂
The truth is out there, it is, it is, it is……
Let’s open our minds to the impossible as The Hauntening update is starting to hit the app stores. I’m seeing it on IOS NOW. You’re looking to upgrade to ga me version 1.29.0.
Please bare in mind this is just preparing us for the event, we still need to wait for TinyCo to push the button to make it go live.
It’s up for me right now on iOS…

I find it really quite annoying that TC can’t even take 30 seconds to make a Facebook post or something to apologise for the delay to us all, shows how much they really care about us. Just a simple “sorry, working on a few bugs, will get it running as soon as we can, thank you for being patient” but nothing. I’m just glad you guys are here to help us addicts know that we are not alone

I think I am done with this game the new model of this game is come out with a new theme and characters make people spend money but the original game play does not work. I was at the point of clearing nerds and it crashed tiny co had to step in now the blimp site does not work so another support email. The other issue is when an event is over and you have a new character our skin you never use them or the building again. So it was fun while it lasted but I think I am done.

No idea if everyone gets the same Daily Quests which bring characters out of Tan Lines, but I am still amazed that the main characters who will be or are being used in events are a part of that pool.

Daily challenges different for everyone.

I don’t recall getting long tasks for Peter in the Daily Quests; at least not often. However, I am sitting on a 10 hour task for Mort, until the new event rolls out, and if he’s not needed immediately, I will send him on that task overnight. If you do the long ones overnight, you miss a maximum of 1 other task/drop that the character might otherwise complete. (Unless you are an insomniac, of course, as it seems a number of the loyal FG Addicts are.) 🙂
LikeLike
I actually sent TC a note on that.
Now that I have Evil Monkey, I won’t feel that pressure as much, but I do like the satisfaction of completing the quests.
Arguably even worse than the above is Jesus, who is always on a 24 task for clams.
LikeLike
If an option to get the Touchdown Jesus costume ever comes up again, you should absolutely pick it up! His clam task is only 12hrs and it’s a (rare, admittedly) chance of 2-4 clams per drop! fwiw, I’ve only ever noticed that I get 4 clams when he does drop them. 🙂
So glad I did whatever it was I did to get him during the Gridiron event! 🙂 He looks amusingly ridiculous in his football uniform. loo
LikeLike
I’ve got him and had him on task since the football event ended, he’s due a break but he’s not getting one. Just one thing the task is “Completely forsake Cleveland Sports Teams” and it’s a 24 hour task. He’s only ever dropped 4 clams for me when he does drop. He was well worth the effort.

Whadya know? I think maybe because it says “1 day” & not “24 hours” I got thrown off & thought it was 12hrs. lol
But…I just went & put him on task…now it says “rare chance of 2 clams”! I *know* it used to say 2-4 clams!!!! & it DEFINITELY said 2-4 when I got him. Hrm…I hope it hasn’t been changed via a recent update! I guess I’ll have to pay attention next time he drops some clams…

It’s basically the opposite of TSTO because that does an in game update and then the store update IS the trigger but it’s the other way round for FGQFS.

It really is. With TinyCo… they usually wait til it is ready for release to Hit that “go” and let it out to public, but you can prep for it. TSTO is just “if you see it, you got it” Lol

Which do you prefer? 😄 I could easily pick TSTO
LikeLike
Both reach out to me as a gamer which is why I still appreciate both in their own way.
When I want simple tap tap tap … TSTO
When I want to challenge myself… FGTQFS
I grew up gaming and so the Challenge part really speaks to me. I remember playing games like Legend of Zelda or Lunar and stuck for days as it didn’t really tell me what I had to do next. Or I would die because I wasn’t strong enough to pass a Boss. So I would start again, build up higher strength, and try again.
At times I just want to shut my mind off and just zone out on a game, enter TSTO or even more simplistic… games like Futurama. Just tap here, go there, done.
I appreciate games for their creativity and art too and I really have to say the imagery that goes into FG…WOW… some of the lil teeny tiny details are pretty cool, just wish I could design my town more like I do TSTO and leave more out. Main downside for me, all the cool things… in Inventory.
