When are we getting a new Diary Update on the future of this game? Roadmap? Plans? State of the game?
What's going on guys?
The feedback from players concerning your request for a roadmap or state of the game have been communicated to the developers. When there is more information, we'll post it.
Cheers,
BB_Rawren
Thank you for response. We will wait and see what the developers really think of their players. Should be interesting. i would like to know what they are looking at and what is out of the question.
Thanks for your efforts BB_Rawren.
Still waiting on that road map update.
I too would love some sort of update. Primarily an update on where all the different proposed features are at. They've been brought up in a dev diary before, so let's gets an update! Even just a list of all the items with a status next to it, such as "On test server", "Internal testing", "Code being worked on", "Someday", and "Dead"Quote:

Frankly, I don't like the random update surprises on test server. Would be nice if Dev. can give us a road map of what they're planning to give us this year rather than random features that we didn't ask for.
At least it can give us a chance to give feed back early on so you don't waste your time on something that is not going to be perceived well, like exotic tree school.
For example:
Like if you plan to give us titantium ore mine or saltper building. (PLEASE don't waste your time and our time asking us to test it and give feed back on it.)
Tell us that's NOT on your roadmap.
Dev's are slacking off. Road map requested over a month ago. Still no road map.Quote:

I don't think we'll get any insights soon either. Posting on here any more than we have seems useless as the CM supposedly already passed along the thread to the developers. And the developers probably just ignored it and do not even read this forum to see us posting on the same topic. And I doubt CM will harass (remind) them any more about it.
Hey BB_Rawren can you remind developers again that the natives are restless again and wants a RoadMap Diary.
(considering Easter is their next event, I doubt we will see anything else until MAY or the even later)
Technically, they should be able to work on something new aside from Easter, because Easter has nothing new that is so complicated. The general was already made months ago. And the only thing they changed is last strike to first strike and 200 to 220. Egg Collectibles is just a recycle Xmas Presents collectibles. No new building.
well for bb its hard. seems the most simple things they have trouble with.
a suggestion
post the roadmap in the calendar section of forum. i know i go to the calendar religiously to see if anything was added, and to my dismay there usually isn't
even if not in the calendar, a roadmap is desperately needed, as usually there is unpleasant surprises coming to us.

I feel sorry for the Polish guys as they're always get the slap in the face on live server first. and things get corrected after the fact.

I'd like to know what happened to our other two science trees: Generals and the Island/Economy tree.
I would like to second that wondering.Quote:

it was released long ago. the timeframes do not seem to be paced evenlyQuote:

and even then it doesn'tQuote:

Maybe you haven't noticed, but roads are disappearing from the map :P
Unless you're visiting HLT, then the roads are reappearing on the map.
There is not going to be anything new and exciting (apart from some shiny fluff and puff from events and gem shop). Why?
The game clearly follows the plan set since the original ideas. Those were set and room for them was developed within the code for future expansion. The current dev team clearly is not going to touch the code for anything major. Some patches and fixes and additions and that's it.
It became evident for me when on pts they tried to change the wood production and hit the brick wall when it was obvious the size of tree deposits needs to be increased in order for the new wood workers behavior to work. The dev team quickly let go of the idea. They don't want to touch the code itself.
And this is pretty much it. Everything that the game supposed to have developed from start (in the future) will be there. And I am not holding my breath for some new and exciting stuff we don't know yet about. If the dev team is afraid to change the size of tree deposits (messing with original code design) you think they will take a chance to start some major changes and development of new stuff?
Patch up jobs from now on, finishing what was already made room for (pvp) adding few things (as a work around for stalling points as they appear as the game grows) and that's all. Best example is the 25 troops training issues. Had to create a new bldg with a different slider cause the old is set and you “can't touch this”. Have fun with what you have, enjoy few new more shinies from events and gem shop and … Go play something else when you are done :)
How is this for something new and exciting: Redesign of home island. Setting your own areas for specific production, replenishing ability and increasing the size off all deposits, changing the landscape of your home island to allow more efficient settings, production (within some margins of course). Sounds good? There is an opportunity for a year of slowly introduced abilities, changes and new things. You think it will happen? With a dev team to give up on changing the number of tree deposit from 5 to 50 for example? Lol get real :P

they're modifying only simple changes around something basic. it took them a very long time to fix zone crashes and moving buildings. to the point where they had to disable moving building hoping that would fix the problem.
all the new stuff we're getting are just work around. they need to hire a real dev team. but then again those guys are focusing on anno. and have put settlers on the back burner.
