I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to feel very bored of this game. Normally, I'm playing and looking forward each day to logging on and hoping to see they publish some new dev. diary or hope they introduce something interesting on the test server that will get me excited.
But right now, the things they've introduced in the past few months have been very stale and not so spectacular.
The Fairy Tales Adventure and the Science were entertaining for a bit. But after awhile I realized how flawed and terrible the science system for the GEO and Explorer. And the increasing book production cost/time makes it really awful. Was looking forward to generals science or the island science but that hasn't been introduced yet.
EpicWork yard not impressed. Just a coal machine. And silly quests (XP but no star coins).
Rock Blasters for more island space? Not really impressed with that either, even if I got more island space that doesn't do much for the overall gameplay. The gameplay doesnt' change still. The new buildings they've introduced really are just silly stuff. (granite? exotic tree school? silo?)
Upcoming new maps (co-op) aren't really great either. Same ole same ole. More annoying really. The only thing it offers is probably the new Bone Church (but its just decoration, no population gain.)
Weak Potions "was" interesting as it had a random chance element to get more beans but that was nerfed and now it's no fun anymore. No point in buying them every 3 days or trying my luck with them. It was a nice dynamic to doing adventures.
The Christmas event was nice. I must say. Good job on that event. Got me logging in everyday for the doors and gold tower. Master Architect loved the chance of frozen manors, pirate huts, witch towers. Nice rare provision house.
But that's not enough to alter the gameplay experience. Got more population and way to make more map fragments. however, at the end of the day it doesn't change my experience on adventures.
This game needs PvP - something a bit more competitive.
Maybe- It needs some sort of adventure mode map with economy style play mode mission to mission. (like settlers 2, and 3- moving from island to island restarting/rebuilding to defeat the enemy on the island and move to the next?) - current island has no more enemies thus boring.
Or introduce better adventures with new units and gameplay mechanics as I suggested in another thread.

Can't seem to find the urge to play anymore other than log in to do a daily and log out. Do I have the urge to go on adventures? not really. Do I have the urge to buff my buildings or deal with trade buffs? not really. Do I even care to buy stuff on trade or post trades. Not really. Right now I'm just logging into get my week 100 gems (and 100 star coin gems). Waiting for gem pit to payout to buy another. That's the extent of my play time.
Hopefully the developers will introduce more game changing mechanics rather than new silly buildings. I'm slowly losing interest in this game.
