Suggestions

My primary suggestion here that has not been covered by many other players, is that UBI/BB makes NO communication about the ongoing projects with us (NON-Euro servers).

I watched that BB, promo clip from the developers, and I was surprised to hear them say they had been working on this project so hard - and that they were working closely with players!?!? Sorry, but nobody here in the states knew anything about a Beta project to apply for, or what - if - anything was going on with the PvP (now called Expedition?). We have been here for the last year without a single word from bb/ubi about PvP, or anything that is being worked on outside of events. It would be really nice if you all were no so secluded with your experiments.

PS - The new system is terribly resource hungry and not terribly fun (imho), Only keeping the territory for 1w is sad considering resources required to take and then keep the place - Not worth the resources spent.

Nice suggestions.

I would suggest having a building like a cartographer (or something related to travel/adventuring) in which we could invest adventures that we will not use (say the ten extra secluded experiments that everyone seems to have floating in their star menu) and that can be converted into more desired adventures. What is generated could be random (much like the scouts searching is) but have it be that whatever you put in will not be what you get out. I think it would make sense to have the exchange of perhaps five adventures to get back a lower level adv. You would need to upgrade the building in order to get back better adventures and spend more in the buildings to get better adventures.

I need more island room if they are going to add more buildings. :)

First of all I have to say, I started playing this game because it wasn't a PvP game. I've played a lot of war games online and am burned out with the idea of spending hours and days and months building up an account only to have everything destroyed/killed while I'm offline.

Secondly, This game already takes way to much time to play. I can't imagine creating a new system that would make it take even longer when there is already a system in place that could accomplish the same thing much more simply.


Here is my 2 cents on PvP: You already have a system in place that allows for more than one player to go on an adventure together. Wouldn't it then be possible to create adventures where players could attack each other instead of static camps on the map? This would allow players to work with the armies they already have instead of creating a new "second army" for PvP and would also be customizable by BB with regard to how the PvP adventure islands are designed. You could have some leader boards that show PvP wins vs losses. Some PvP adventures could be set up so that they require people from the same guild to combat each other or make some that require 2 or more players per "side" (like left and right side of the map) and those players on each side must be in a guilds together, respectively. This would promote people being in guilds and promote team play of PvP adventures. You could then do another leader board for guilds, showing wins and losses.
Players and guilds would definitely try to get their names to the top of the list(s).
You could also set up tournaments where you have special short term leader boards with prizes for the top tier finishers in various categories.
All of which would not only promote group play, but would give people something to do while they are staring at the wall waiting an hour for gold mines to be built.

It's a thought anyway, seems simpler to work with what you have rather than alienate players by trying to reinvent the wheel just because someone asks for a ride across town.

I don't see much that BB tries to make simple. They are very good at making things complicated.

I wish we could re arrange the provision house production like we can in the building que so when we have a quest to produce a certain item we could push an arrow to push it to the top instead of deleting every thing to bring it to the top. (a push to top option would be great for quest purposes). Also, I wish that Aunt Irma's Gift Baskets pop up first in the buff tab, since we use them most. I also wish the Halloween buffs would go to the bottom. I wish, since I have so many specialists, there was several inventory tabs separating them so I don't have to scroll so much to find my Geologists and Explorers, who are under the generals who take up so much room (since I purchased so many from Merchant). I ask all this since I have carpel tunnel in my wrists and it aggravates the situation a little, but not enough to make me quit the game. I also need more landing zone for the tons of generals I have... lol... I love that the lvl 6 mills are a new color... it would be nice to have the lvl 6 farms be the same so people can identify them easily when buffing me. I would love to decorate my island with those red trees and other... but, it takes up building spaces... could your team make other things place able like the flowers, statues who do not take up building spaces. Could your team make the buildings reversible like storage houses so the can be placed side ways, too.

You can click the x and then re-load everything. That's less efficient, but it does keep you online longer :P


kidding...I agree that being able to re-arrange would be more cool. :D

It would be great if there was a way to remove more than 1 thing from the mail at a time.

there is

Suggestions:


1. Create in-game player profiles using the guild list format.

2. Include additional free trade slots for premium time.

3. Create an additional use for printing press type.

4. Make the guild house upgradeable.

5. Modify the collectible quest to be cumulative.

6. Create a find collectibles search for the explorer.

7. Offer a greater variety of daily rewards for logging online consecutively.

8. Move the News tab into Mail and add a Guild Chat recruitment tab.

9. More decor, modular, properly scaled, interlocking, build-able.

10. I only have 9 atm

and none of them will be looked at by anyone on (if it still exsists) dev team

I totally agree on the printing press type, even if it was just for an event. Kids typing letters to Santa. We could also use another use for the adamantium ore as hardly anyone bothers making an Epic Woodyard.

I have so many buffs that it is hard to send each one to a buffer to get the extra time bonus. Could it be possible that the visiting buffer could be allowed access to my buffs to put them on my work yards? That way we could buff each other without having to send, send, send, send...

[QUOTE=Forrell;245441]Suggestions:


1. Create in-game player profiles using the guild list format.

I hate clicking to look for a certain player who is currently buffing me. I wish we could click their avatar and get the drop down menu so I can click 'visit', 'chat', 'trade'... etc...

2. Include additional free trade slots for premium time. (Very good idea.)

3. Create an additional use for printing press type.

7. Offer a greater variety of daily rewards for logging online consecutively.

8. Move the News tab into Mail and add a Guild Chat recruitment tab.

9. More décor, modular, properly scaled, interlocking, build-able.

plz, give us the option to delete cheese sammies from star

or to drop them in a friend's mayor house :)

Make 2-3 Frozen Manors available for presents during Xmas event.

I Love that we can now send adventure loot directly to the storehouse. But can we get it so that the settlers we earn through adventures go to the star menu like the mine refills?

It would be nice to not have my population maxed out by accepting adventure loot.

2. A guild ranking based on the total of players' achievements, total population, players xp, etc.

3. Various players' ranking based on units killed, units recruited, resources production, number of adventures completed, the total of all buildings' level, etc.

ugh that sounds like work. lol

I would like to see this as well. If there's one resource I don't need more of, it's settlers.

Definitely need this change made. It's very wasteful for the settlers to go right into the population, really very irritating. I know for myself I will always make sure I do NOT max out my population, and leave a gap of perhaps 10-50 settlers to be filled by my Mayor's Residence (and as of the end of Halloween 2014 my one Village School).

Like others had said in the bug reporting section (but which seems to have disappeared in the last couple days), this makes a big waste out of the gems (ie. real Money) and resources people have put into village schools and upgrades, and buffs like Cheese Sandwich and Love Potion.

Settlers are a very special case compared to most resources, wood, metal, etc. Generally probably less than 10% of the storage capacity of other resources, very different production, fundamentally different types of purpose, use and "consumption". They are one rare "resource" that people will want to be near maximum capacity most of the time, but that there is often no actual rush to get them nearly maxed out. They can't be traded unlike almost every other loot from advs thus can't free up storage room for adv loot.

Settlers from adventures need to work like they did before adv loot could be put directly into out Stars, which is only a very recent change. A counter against that might be that this idea forces people to have to bother find their settlers from the adv in the star menu and add them manually. But that is a poor counter. The current system forces us to put often all other ~12? item stacks from advs into the Mayor's House manually, instead of just dealing with the settlers. And like my example above of specifically wanting a gap our population after an adventure, letting us be much more efficient by letting automatic mayor's/school population growth fill it, when we do want to add settlers after adventures, we almost certainly want to add smaller amounts (or very specific amounts, most easily done with stacks of settlers from the provision house, in stacks smaller than from advs). Alright, I admit this post is already too long.

TLDR-Settlers from adventures need to work like they did before adv loot could be put directly into out Stars, which is only a very recent change. Settlers from adventure loot going straight into "inventory"/the population, is an insulting waste.

how about a tab/button that removes all army from all generals on the home island. It would make it easy to set up for the next adventure.

So now that I have 10 savage scouts in preparation for Christmas, I would like to see a repeat last search button to save myself some clicking. Or a way to send several explorers all on the same type of mission, like the new generals checkbox function. Some way to consolidate all these e-mails would be nice, too, although the e-mail system in general needs an overhaul.

Here's a suggestion..... rollback PvP and let's go back to how it was.

I love the option to put loot directly into inventory, but, one thing: When I'm using lemon tea on school houses, and settlers are a loot spot, it counteracts the need for using tea at all. My population fills up and I just wasted gems on a buff. If settlers would always go to star then that would not happen. If not, it is like making that buff obsolete.

I have difficulty with moving my generals around the Adventure map. When you click on the profile of a selected general it takes you to where he is positioned on the map. First I look to the position where I would like to move then I pop over to where my gen is, but would rather just click the portrait and then place him in a new position. I hate having to drag the mouse over click after click to place him after finding that place, having to go look for it again, and again, for each general. Have lots of generals. This gets my wrist while I drag the mouse cursor.

Would be nice to find the new desired position, click portrait of gen, and place him directly on the map, without having to drag him around.

How about giving us some way to get rid of the useless expedition marshals. Some of us now realize the expeditions are not even worth bothering with and would like to get rid of the marshals we have as they take up room on our island.

if this is a repeat suggestion my apologies.

it would be nice if we could rename specialists, for example one of my scouts is trained for adventure bonuses so rename him Indy(Jones) lol and a geologist with mostly coal bonuses renamed Coal. as i get more specialists their positions change in the star menu so its time consuming to find the right specialist for the search.

Guild quest being completed by logging in everyday. I am usually too busy to complete any of the quest mostly the adventure ones and eventually get kick out of the guild for missing too many. Would be better if you had tight knit guild who wouldn't have to worry about doing guild quest. I know some of the quest are easy but I somehow manage not to complete them and get kick off a guild. Be nice not to but I understand their reason to give me the boot. Would it not be better to have a tight knit of people who stick together.

With regards the gem shop on the home page, where one can purchase gems for real-world money: Make it so that the person can choose which server (if they play on both) to apply the purchase to. If they only play one server or the other, the server they do not play on would be grayed out and unselectable. That way, it's one-stop shopping. No having to jump between servers to buy gems!

Marble for gems
Please let players “buy” 100 gems from the Merchant for 75,000 marble.
Marble is an advanced item to produce, and can be obtained by Explorer searches.
Players like me who hoard gems might start buying them if we had enough to spend and saw what spending them is like.
The 75,000 marble for 100 gems would allow that.
It cannot be gold coins for gems, since that would devastate the trading in this game. Coins need to keep circulating to permit trading. But removal of some marble will not injure trading.

This will never happen. For a few various reasons.

1) It depletes the value of the gem(s) players aquire by stockpiling them on a weekly basis. (those who don't pay into the game)
2) New Currency in the game will be marble (gee I wonder why)
3) You say it will not devastate the trading in this game... hogwash! Value of Marble will go up like crazy.
4) TSo needs a way to generate money, the safest way is to have players spend money to aquire this item. If there is other ways of obtaining it, depletes the value of those who spend money on the game to continue playing here and make gems worth less. It also helps them continue with this so game for us.

Personally I like the idea, but it's just not an idea that will fly with any game that is "free to play."

Here is my two cents for the new year.

1) Island expands. Please make this happen this yr not 5 yrs down the line.
2) Fix the Lag in the game that makes our blocks almost impossible. (yes there is tricks but I hate performing them at times)
3) In the adv shop. Any adv that is required to run a daily or guild quest should be purchasable through map frags. End of story.
4) Please fix the daily reward system. I'm tired of seeing the same lousy reward. I can't just justify logging in those 6 days in a row is worth the 100 gems by the end of the week.
5) Improve your communication to the players of TSO.
6) More buildings for lvl 6 naturally ;)
7) fix splash units in non-FT adv. If you give it to them as well fix them since you already fixed it in those adv only.
8) make the "AC Bonus" for the unit mean something instead of just being words.

Those are my ideas/wishes for this yr from TSO.

I agree with this statement but personally I don't see them ever writing the code.

The people of BB make things very simple coding. Nothing too confusing. If you noticed it took them over 3 yrs to fix the splash damage on units and they only did that on "FT adventures" yet they didn't bother to fix it in the other adv. Can you imagine them doing it to them as well? The other feature they have not corrected yet is the "Bonus in AC" deal. I'm still waiting for them to fix that one feature on units that absolutely means jack squatt.

It also took them well over a yr or two to even put in the code where it can go to your mayor house. I remember the days where it went to star then you had to apply it to mayor house. I'm just glad they brought that in.

I honestly like this idea, but the realism in me says this won't happen anytime soon.

I Can't see where anyone else has suggested this one yet, but how about granite refills for the granite pit, on the order of the "Enhanced Iron/Gold Pickaxe" refill. Omniseeds are wonderful, but it takes a ton of them just to be sure the granite pit won't fall down, especially once it's level 5.

1. Fix the adventure lag.

2. Increase the pvp loot.

3. Include the names of players who visit an island in the News tab.

4. Move News into Mail and create a Guild tab.

5. Have friends list and chat closed as default at log in.

6. Allow explorers to find collectibles.

7. Display the avatar icons of all players at an adventure island.

8. Create trading Quest that instructs new players on how to use Trade Lots and Slots.

9. Make the Guild House upgradeable.

10. Give Generals a skill tree.

11. Figure out how to make Amanda's text a different color for the auction. (consult her on the color)

12. Offer additional trade slots with Premium time.

13. Create Player Profiles using the guild list format.

13b Make it possible to view a player's current level in chat.

14. Delete all cheese sandwiches.

15. Offer honorary Official Mascot title to Shockmo.

16. Send Mopar some presents.

17. A premium day and some flowers would make a good MLK day gift.

18. Remove the tree in front of the Mayor's house.

19. Letter Press Type print.... whatever it is called in nearly useless, find an additional use.

20. Create level based daily quest worth doing. Jump through hoop... get 200 cannon, 100 dams, 250 any add.

21. now I'm just making stuff up, telling, asking, hoping and wishing.

1. Drop back 10 yards and punt.

2. repeat #1.

leveling up barraks to lvl 6 would be nice i think
