Hey there fellows addicts! Hic!
Just bouncing in to firstly apologise for the lack of posts the last few days, but I’m afraid I’m flying solo at the moment and having to pull all the info from my own game, which I play just like the rest of you. Basically at the moment Bunny isn’t around and I don’t have access to the test game where she pulls info fast, and Lotty is taking a break from the game, so as I say I’m basically only able to pull the info that my play dictates, and it’s been a slow grind this Chapter. I’ve got most of the Main Questline now so I’ll get that up and whatever else I can ASAP.
But apologies aside I want to remind you Chapter 1 will finish tomorrow, 21st June at 4pm PDT, and with it your chance to unlock Burlesque Peter and Johnny, if you’ve not FULLY unlocked them they will disappear and not be available to work on in Chapter 2.
Now in my game I’m seeing an issue as the Chapter 1 timer is counting down fine until 21st June at 4pm PDT but the timer that has appeared over Johnny is showing less, basically it will run out 8 hours earlier on 21st ?June at 8am PDT. The image below shows what I’m seeing in my game, I’ve sent an in-game support message to TinyCo, and advise if you’re seeing the same timer differences, you also message TinyCo in order we can get this sorted.
With regards to Whiskey and Axes, according to TinyCo they will be useful in Chapter 2, so if you’ve unlocked everything for Chapter 1, keep collecting them!!!
So what are you working on as the Chapter 1 end draws ever closer? Any tips for other players finishing out the Chapter? Let us know.

No Johnny. No Burlesque Peter. No fun. Second straight Event where I will not be able to unlock any of the new characters.
I don’t want TinyCo to just give out characters like candy, but it would be nice to be able to believe that I could unlock at least one character (not a useless costume, but an actual character) per Event no matter what. No 7-Day timers, no multiple Uncommon drops needed for a chance at a Rare drop. Just realistic task requirements that don’t require giving up either sleep or money to complete.

I came up 10 Kegs short on getting Johnny. I only had enough clams to buy 5 – glad I didn’t waste them. Then again… What’s the point? So far I’ve only been able to complete 1 mini event and get everything.

Yup Johnny gone here too. Did get a message on launch screen telling me that I have been given a contract to unlock him when next week starts by way of an apology. Haven’t looked in inventory to see if contract there yet.
I hadn’t unlocked him but would have done by time week one finishes if i spend a few clams. Not gonna bother now as anything can happen and dont want to waste clams only to not get him. I have burlesque Peter so will be content with him if johnny doesn’t turn up.

Confirmed that Johnny has disappeared and no longer available to unlock even though I had completed all the tasks in time, with 8 hours to spare for Chapter One. Per your advice, RT, I’ve sent screenshots and my complaints to Tinyco today.
Not sure if they will act on it, but as hard as the game is from the beginning, these glitches are surely testing my (and many others) patience. Working effortlessly to get the axes, and complete all the tasks, for the past 7 days seem to end up futile and even if they decided to return Johnny to all who have managed to unlock him in time, it has been very demotivating to play. What’s worse is throughout past 7 days, my game has been crashing regularly. Wasting time to re-log in.
It was a brilliant gesture of Tinyco to gift us the Mayor West statue for commemoration but any goodwill is chipped away by a glitch as serious and basic as such. Perhaps their programmers need to re-look at how they have designed the game.

RT – You mentioned in the post “With regards to Whiskey and Axes, according to TinyCo they will be useful in Chapter 2, so if you’ve unlocked everything for Chapter 1, keep collecting them.” Do you know if it’s Whiskey OR Axes that could be useful? I’d hate to collect all these whiskey and have no axes and then find out the axes are needed for something else and the whiskey is useless!! For now, I was holding off on spending my surplus of whiskey pouches on the Ritzy Fountain & Old-Timey Automobile just in case. Thoughts?
LikeLike
TinyCo said both will be useful in Chapter 2, so I collected whiskey from clearing barrels until I unlocked Johnny, now I’m stockpiling axes, that way for chapter 2 I will have some of each. I’m passing on the fountain and automobile, as I’d rather risk missing these 2 decorations than be short of whiskey at start of chapter 2.

I agree I’m very wary of spending clams when I’ve put in the work required to earn an item freemium. I will say this, if that’s all you need to spend to get him, and you have done everything else to get Johnny, it may be 50 clams well spent, as I know Peter’s got a load of costumes but this one has a couple really funny animated tasks. He’ll also be useful for Axes for Chapter 2, and of course the task he needs to do for Johnny Wishlist is only 2 hours, so still time to do it. But I honestly get why you’re sticking to your principles, I’ve done the same when I’ve been down to just 10 clams to unlock a costume.

Yep, I just paid 55 clams to get the remaining axes… it completed the task and I didn’t get the character. I’ve checked my inventory, gone to Ollieland and back, restarted my game etc. Clicking on the Vaudeville Theatre doesn’t nothing – it just “bounces” and doesn’t show any information. Clicking on the Prohibition Party icon then clicking “Go” doesn’t do anything anymore. I did get the storyline popup after completing the quest, and I collected the little certificate thing for completing it all… but no character!

Why do we have to communicate with TinyCo when there is an issue with a game? Why don’t they fix a problem like this before a game is about to end? My game had 2.63 GB of memory tied up. Clams videos was always cheating me out of clams for watch the videos. This has been fixed. It took them long enough. Every time I tell they good job, something else ****** up.I want to retract my good rating. I have played this game since the Mobster event. I play for free. I will not waste my money paying for anything especially when paying customers get ******** on their purchases. The axes drop rate has been poor. It is a waste of time telling TinyCo. They do not listen and are slow to respond. I think other players share my feelings. This is of course just my opinion and viewpoint. Thank you for all the help you do to make these game fun. End Of Line. 🙂

I couldn’t pay any attention to the game for about 36 hours due to work, so I was contemplating buying some axes to allow me to complete everything in week 1. Then I go through 3 turns (6 total attempts) not getting a single axe, so TinyCo can go jump in a lake if it thinks its going to get any clams out of me for this event. I am more than happy to come back in a week for a new event, if I find that I really am missing the game at that point (and who knows, I might not be!). Given that these types of issues can be resolved via the coding that TinyCo does in the first place, it is beyond me why they insist on aggravating their customers this way.
