Interest waning fast

So I've hit level 38 and I've been playing since closed Beta actually but I'm really loosing interest in this game. The biggest thing when you get to higher levels is adventuring and trading yet I don't have the time to do adventures, usually would do one on the weekends, and the trading is not profitable any more (you seriously can't make enough coin any more). Considering most upgrades and progression is headed towards materials I can't even produce but need to trade is extremely counter intuitive. There needs to be more than just adventures. The economy overview is nice, daily rewards keep me logging in but I'm only playing for a few minutes or maybe tops 30 when I'm trading a bunch of my stuff and running through my farms/mines/wells/provision house/barracks. Eh I might just move on and boot up Anno 1701 when I want my city strategy game.

if u can make money from trading ur doing something wrong and if u cant sit dont for 30-40 min and do an adventure then this game clearly its for you. Ya some adventures take longer but Witch or dp take 30 min not counting travel time.

The extreme amount of xp to lvl in the later lvls is making people in this game lose interest.

Yes, give us the button marked "I Win"

Congrats, one of the least coherent & poorly developed posts I've read today. Granted, there are tons of threads I skip entirely, so I haven't read too many, but still - your ability to type the opposite of what you meant is ... uncanny.

It would help if we had some decent things to do. The Guild Quests were a complete and utter flop. The quests ask you to give up a ridiculous amount of resources for rewards that are worth nothing. The guilds don't want to co-operate at getting ripped off.

Give us something useful:
- upgradable generals
- guild house upgrades
- guild resource pools for spending on rewards
- monuments / special buildings that provide bonuses
- ANYTHING in the shop sold for coins instead of gems

Throwing recruits at adventures and being a slave to buff timers really doesn't make the game much fun. When you can't upgrade any more buildings for coins because it all takes granite -- you hit a wall.

@ ZBest Yes I couldn't have said it better myself. It was also fair to say that like you mention the game feels like a grind with no fun with the higher levels.

@#$&^% ---- 5 dollars!!!!!???? Witches and double penetration? It's beginning to remind me of work. I think my Tamagotchi died for the same reason. Where else do I get to read important information and

My interest in this thread is waning fast.

:D

Among other things, I find not being able to build in an area because of tree stumps aggravating. It leaves barren spots in the city, and ruins city planning. You say you
want to preserve trees as a resource, this is fine but I have foresters to do that out in the fringes not in the city.

Sounds like all great ideas to me

I would have to agree that this game has become a little boring and repetitive. There's no real interaction with guild members or other guilds. Yes, I know, there is buffing and trading, doing an adventure once in a while with another member, but it's the same thing - every day. Re-build, buff a friend or two, trade maybe and do one of the same adventures you've done for the last 3-4 months and then wait around for your troops to rebuild.

We all know that the guild quests have to change - they are just not worth doing. But there needs to be more. Some people have mentioned that the bandit placements in the adventures should be random - I like this idea. Hell, I'd like some bandit camps to pop up on my own island once in awhile, or bandits attack my island, or a storm ravage my island so that I would have to repair or rebuild some buildings. Or how about a good forest burn, or a rock slide or two. Maybe some random mines once in awhile. Anything different would be good. Something unpredictable.

Don't get me wrong, there have been some good additions to the game. The move option and the economy info tree where both great additions, but it doesn't help the game play. More is needed.

I like your ideas Hondo. However, implementation would have to be done carefully. As an example, some players might quit if your random events destroyed large numbers of level 5 buildings they had spent a large amount of time getting built.

Yes Carcator, I wouldn't want a level 5 building completely destroyed either, so yes, the implementation would need to be done very carefully. My thinking is that as you level up buildings, they become stronger and less likely to be completely destroyed - they would need to be "repaired". I don't think a level 4 or 5 building should be completely leveled - but a level 1....... that's another story. However, I've played many games were you have expensive buildings being attacked and destroyed, so you would need to protect them from attack.

Being attacked by random bandits or having bandit camps pop up over night on your island would sure make your generals a lot more valuable, plus you would need to keep up with your troops. There just needs to be more than just rebuilding everyday and adventures. The game has become too predictable - which is making it a little boring to do every day.
