I am glad for android; however, I am iOS. I have quasi OCD when it comes to games. I can live without rollocop. This, is ridiculous to me. I've invested a lot of time and money (my decision), but as of right now, I am freemium only. I'm sure my interest will wane and I'll stop playing sooner than later. Shame. Sorry to burden you all with my rant, but I needed a forum to do it. I've contacted tiny co and am awaiting a response. Thanks again. Cant blame you for this. I will never understand the justification for making certain things "Android/iOS" only, it causes rifts, and is downright unnecessary. Absolutely everything that is on my Android version of the game should be on your iOS version. On that matter though, I've been wondering for a while: If I had an iPhone and played the game on that while out and about, but when at home, used my Android tablet to play the game, would I not be able to avail of all content that has been released to the game? |

The problem I see with device exclusive content (and I don't care which device it's for) is that it makes it difficult if not impossible for people to get everything. I've given up on the idea of being able to get everything mainly because this game is extremely expensive if you try to do that. I don't mind spending money here and there, but it seems like they've set it up to be $100 a month game. I don't think this will happen any time soon, but I've had other games that have had in app purchase available up until the day before the app stopped working and the company announced they were no longer supporting it. Knowing that they can pull the plug at any time with no notice there is no way I'm investing that kind of cash in a game. Not to mention where would I even put everything? Do they really think I want to spend money on stuff to leave it in storage? They really need to calm down with all the premium content and device exclusive stuff or they're going to turn off a lot of people. |

Do they really think I want to spend money on stuff to leave it in storage? They really need to calm down with all the premium content and device exclusive stuff or they're going to turn off a lot of people. One credit i will give TinyCo for is that there is always something to do in the game, however, they are overloading the game with premium content somewhat. I try to balance this with a reasonable assumption as to why there is so much premium content in events, and looking at the last two, it's obvious why * Comic Con - they released no less that 7 celebrities who would have had to have been paid, two of those celebs were premium, costing a total of 750 clams, however, they did offer 5 of those celebs for free, and balanced that out with premium items for them (the trailers etc). No doubt TinyCo would have spent a lot of money on this. * Ghostbusters - this one is a simple one, TinyCo would probably have had to pay a fortune to get the rights to this franchise in the game, to be able to use many likenesses from the films and cartoon series of it. This would explain the higer priced premium items. One thing i will say is they have given us the Ghostbusters HQ for free, they could have had us pay clams for it. It's a 50/50 thing, freemium players will feel ripped off that they can't enjoy the full benefits of the event because of the premium items, premium players will inevitably advance the quests using clams to progress and buy the new stuff. As i stated, it is expected these high priced premium items for obvious reasons, but what TinyCo need to do is just find that better ballance between the two. Slightly lower clam costs for pemiums would be a start. People will still buy clams to get the items, so i doubt they would take a big hit in the pockets The second biggest issue with the game right now (from a playing point of view) is the land - i've run out, and so have a lot of other players. We need more land The first biggest issue that's been going on since the end of Comic Con is the game issues, crashing, graphic errors, and more. Seeing lots of complaints at the moment about this, i am on Android and i still get issues from time to time (cannot connect and game crashes being my two common issues) |

Slimer is such a central iconic character that its a proper joke that they have made it an exclusive.
thumbs down tinyco!!!

@dave3490 I get what you're saying. My point is just that they need to mellow out a little. This is by far the most expensive fremium game I've ever played.
Ok, back on topic, does anyone know anything about the ghost spawn rate? Yesterday, it had a 12 hour refresh rate or whatever they're calling it for new ghosts to release. Since I didn't want my ghosts being released at midnight, I spent some clams to get it to a more reasonable hour believing that they would spawn every 12 hours. Now today they're coming every hour which I'm happy about, but I'm wondering if the 12 hours was a glitch and I need to ask for my clams back or what. I did notice when I first got the ghosts yesterday that it was only 4 clams to speed the portal up at 12 hours and then when I went back in it when it was closer to the time that I wanted my ghosts to spawn the cost to speed up had gone up.

Our Halloween didn't start a week earlier, so what the heck? Why are all of the Android exclusives better? Our Golden Suit guy has 2 lousy tasks, where Rollocop Joe has many more than 2, and awesome visual ones at that. |

I understood why rollocop was, but that was because we had the week less for comic con. Slimer being an exclusive I just don't get at all. |

Does it even make sense to buy the pet cemetery?? If you look at the octomom spider it requires different jars.so cemetery is pointless after the first 4 items

So it will certainly generate for the entirety of the event. Now they can always require those parts for some of the locked prizes as well. I think it makes more sense to have it, but if you aren't interested in multiples of the prizes, I guess not. But it will help you get those 2 higher priced items required for Diane Simmons. So I think it has more uses than people think, I believe that terror dogs will continue to generate through out the event and likely will need their parts to create additional prizes (if you want them) or be required for say the final duck Stewie prize. |

Tapping on the portal will tell you when the next ghosts spawn. The problem I see with device exclusive content (and I don't care which device it's for) is that it makes it difficult if not impossible for people to get everything.

Our Golden Suit guy has 2 lousy tasks, where Rollocop Joe has many more than 2, and awesome visual ones at that. Help and Support Slimer is a special squatter that only appears on Android devices. The Slimer appears once every 8 hours for 2 minutes at a time. |

It doesn't generate terror dogs, it just gives the item you get from the terror dogs. |
