i made it to week 4 just a few hours ago .. of course it’s the last day of the event .. but Dazed Confused Brian isn’t something i regret not earning … even though i love the movie character played by Matthew McConaughey … so it was an ok event after all …

Is it just me or is this a decidedly underwhelming event? I got both freemium characters but that’s it, the rest is just more skins… hmm… I already finished week four too despite not really playing heavily since week one, so I’m ready for the end, but this has been quite a boring event I think, nothing to keep me want to log back in. Strange one.

Holy Buckets! Worst event for me ever. Still stuck on week 2 as Consuela won’t drop for me. I have given up on this event all together. Hopefully the next event isn’t this horrible otherwise I think I am done with doing these events and once I am done unlocking the last three districts I will be done with the game for good.

i had exactly the same issue. 4 days no kingpin consuela would appear… but she came in loads earlier on in phase 2 when i didnt want her and wanted sharks.
I’ve moved onto Risque Business pt 1 but in 5 attempts no party guy dropped (and at 5 tapes a go its a steep payout for no return).
3 days left, no chance of getting pam or bruces costume so im giving up.
THE worst event i’ve partook in, so far.

This has actually been a fair event for me, I entered Phase 4 with enough Badges saved to already buy all the buildings except the last boat. This is how an event should be, even the rare items seemed to drop a lot more often! I still wish we’d get a break between big events just so I don’t have to worry about checking in multiple times every day, but at least the events could be this manageable.
LikeLike
I think you’re playing a different event that me, LOL! Seriously, I have found the drops to boarder on ridiculous, I’m still stuck on Part 8 of Phase 3 as I’ve sent Bruce and Bonnie to search for Michael Pulaski 7 times…only found him once so far…spent the last 48 hours sending Stewie and the Doctor tasked on whistles for Pamela – have only dropped 4 out of 28 attempts…looks I lost the algorithm lottery in this one…
LikeLike
Chris, I don’t know if you managed to unlock Michael Pulaski yet. But if it’s any help, here’s what I did that seems to help. (I got Michael twice out of 3 investigations).
The short version is that for this event, you are better off using only a single character to investigate.
Since only 1 type of villain can spawn from each investigation, if one villain has Medium odds and the other is Low, you end up with better odds at the Medium. But if both villains have Medium odds, you’ve actually reduced your chances at getting the villain you want.

i kinda think they may have changed phase4 up a bit before releasing it i mean after they’re finding out all the horrible struggles players are going through i wouldn’t be surprised that happened lol😂👏🏼

Woohoo! First time I’m a week right on time. Actually I think I’m starting the last week on time for the first time ever. I’ve already bought up to “Suds O Rama Car Wash” but I think I’ll skip the remaining buildings & boat as they don’t drop anything. 100% freemium if anyone cares

Thanks for the post, however, after being on part 6 for nearly a week because the troops only come back with pool guys, robbers, or Pulaski, and no sharks to clear, I’ve about given up on this event now.
Achieved two new characters and a few skins so I still leave happy 😀
Thanks again for all the informative posts. Helped achieve.

I gave up before Part 3…. too long between drops. It seems like the only character I felt like working for was Erik Estrada anyway, and I got him plus Peter and Lois. Just checked in to earn clams with clam tv when I remembered. I’ve done that before if I got bored with an event.

I can’t advance to week 4 because still looking for Pulaski character. I defeated him the first time quite quickly, but it’s been 4 days, continuous searches and countless police tapes (both character earned and purchased) and I still can’t get find him, let alone battle him!This game is no longer fun … it might be time to find a more ‘user friendly’ game to play.

I’m sorry you’re stuck, have you tried contacting TinyCo to tell them you’re a long time player who feels like giving up use to the randomness of the event. If not please do, it’s important we feedback our concerns.

Should be doable… I unlocked him an hour or so ago, but bear in mind I was able to buy the first 4 buildings as soon as Week 4 began. 100% freemium too

Two days ago I left a post complaining that I hadn’t seen a card shark in two days. After numerous tries,countless police tapes, and much frustration I still have not seen one. Still stuck on part 6. This is ridiculous. 0 progress = 0 fun 👎🏻
