Game Improvement Suggestions

Want to make some significant changes to the game? Want to make things more captivating?
Here are some suggestions

-Allow the ability to select mails by type or to select one and shift click a lower one to select all in-between for deleting them

-Add experience for island progression (not just for adventuring) such as buildings, upgrading, etc

-Allow the ability to relocate Storehouses (even only Imp SH's)

-Give out free building location times for a week every year or 6 months (there has only been one in the almost 6 years I been playing)

-Add more Gem pits to the limit every once in while

-Allow people to demolish ALL the demo-able rocks and not just a fraction of them

-Allow building placement on areas where trees have been removed

-Allow purchases of any amount of tavern gens a person would like

-Allow the option of getting 1 more of each champ ( for completing special quests to unlock it)

-Allow a buff usable in Adv's that allow instant returns after battle

-Make it that people have to complete a specific amount of level related quests completely before being allowed to gain the next level (ensuring that the person has actually gained the knowledge required for progression)

-Allow instant returns to island from Advs (when completed, not if cancelled or quick finished)

-Add new expansion zones to the home island every year/6 months

-Allow the option to choose if your gen lands on land in an adv when sent or in Star menu (or even the option to choose where they land on the ground in the adv)

-Allow the new players to earn the Gens, specialists, etc the same way we all did that have been playing for a while (offer them the amount of those gens, specialists, etc up to everyone's limit during the specific events we all got ours in, as well as available for purchase for gems if they don't want to wait for events or work to gain the resources for them)

-Also Offer a "beginners pack" (available to EVERYBODY not just newcomers, to be fair to us experienced players too), Perhaps a one time Package per account that is a starter pack that has 2 improved Silos, 2 improved Farms, 1 friary, 1 Major, 1 Battle gen, 1 MMA, 2 fast geo's, 3 schools, 2 improved storehouses for around 35$ (this would have to be a limited 1 time only per account thing)

-instantly insert newcomers into a starts guild led by either volunteer experienced players (with incentives possibly) or by MOD's to teach and mentor the newcomers on how to get started and advice on progression, etc.

-Allow more ways to earn Gems, either through adv's, quests, progression goals, etc

-Allow the ability to earn or purchase higher limits of things like Gold Towers, Gens, Specialists, gem pits, etc (allow everything to have a limit increase either earned through quests/acheesements or by purchasing with gems)

-Give rewards to people for loyalty to the game and long standing commitment to the game, larger more valuable gifts for the longer amounts of time playing consecutively, give people this kind of incentive to stay current with the game (resetting when people are away for like a month or so, they reset back to day 1), like every 6 months of playing they get a reward for sticking with it, each level would be a better and more valuable gift

These things would increase desire to play and help us "older" players that have been around for a long time and keep everyone more interested and captivated in the game.

Another couple suggestions:

-When clicking on a storehouse, it would be cool to see how much storage that SH actually supplies to the total

-When clicking on a resource production building, it should indicate how much it produces per 1/6/12/24hrs (like the economy window does, but just for that building)

-It would be nice to have like 1 period (a day, 2 days, a week, whichever) where someone can relocate unmovable buildings like Storehouses

-If you clicked on one building, the others of it's kind would highlight as well, which would make it easier to locate all of them if needed

-like in the test server, being able to click 1 button and have something in production que of barracks/provision house/RPH etc

-having the ability to select a number of something you wish to purchase from the merchant, rather than having to buy each and every one individually (which is very daunting if purchasing a large quantity of something)

-an option to upgrade Residences to Noble Residences to Manors when a person unlocks that building at the level required (would help people not get frustrated with having to demo and rebuild the new one)

-being able to stack buffs, like maybe add a new buff when 75% finished the older buff for it to start when the other one finishes

-a production que in the bookbinder would be cool too

Umm Virt im sorry but i don't agree with some of these. i think the game runs fine now and asking for all of this yes it would be nice but it would be a bit greedy and this game wasn't meant to be easy. its a challenge that we need to work through. first of all Xp from adventures and such are helping and a main source of Xp also from quests there is also PVP that has its levels i think adding more levels would just make it complicated. and there is a way to delete all mail slots. now relocating ware houses the BB's explained that it would mess up the game and they made it so that you have to have one per sector if you want that sector... and the free building time i was told by BB Aeyline and many mods that was for when they changed a part of the island and wanted people to be able to freely move a building that was in the way. now i could go on and on about all this but i think the game is fine the way it is and if the game dev team wants to add new things they will

I would make a quick suggestion-

hotkey for the RPH.

Labeling mines that have depleted (iron, coal, titanium, saltpetre, etc) would be really helpful so that it doesn't ALL just say "exhausted mine", so we can know right away which kind of search to do to find that resource, like the marble, stone, granite mines do, the others should have something to separate them from the others

Nearly 6 years playing and you don't know where your coal and iron mines are !

First off, when tired, things slip your mind
Secondly, I just finished clearing the expansion islands and haven't gotten them memorized yet
Thirdly, my suggestions are not for me alone, but also to help newcomers

My suggestions are for overall improvements for the mass, not just for me myself.

One of the BIGGEST suggestions I think would be for BB to change from Adobe Flash to HTML5, the issues with Flash are super annoying and costly at times (specially when doing blocks with timed blocks being the riskiest)

BB needs to catch up with the times and get away from Adobe Flash, like many other games have started doing

BB, should build in raiding option for guild dead accts, like we attack and their troops defend and once troops dead we can salvage the isle or something like this

kinda like viking raids for booty

BB really needs to expand the PVP portion of the game. would like to see an option to actively defend your colony or maybe guild colonies. Adding new expansion zones, new quests, new adventures, .... that is just more of the same.

Hi all,

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions! I will be sure to share them and see what we can do to change some things.

Thank you,
BB_Odhran

Storehouses should still be able to be moved within that sector just to move things around. I understand about moving them out of a sector completely would not be possible.

I understand that storehouses would mess up game for they are needed to claim sectors. But being able to move them around with them sectors would be nice.

more quest to level up. they seem to stop in the 30's.
being forced to do adv is not fun.. do not ask to do adv by name, some i will not do, this stops completing a quest. being able to drop a quest and have a new one appear in an hour or so would also help.
shorter times for building. some cant be here 24/7.
more free geos, do you realize how much time is involved to search everything? more than a day.
lower prices on gem items, been told we need certain things and at 100 a week that would take years. not fair at all.

The idea of the storehouses not being able to be moved because of zone ownership makes no sense, since we can demolish any storehouse we want and build a new one elsewhere, there is no reason why we cannot move them (especially Imp Storehouses). There could be a code written to make sure that the last Storehouse in a zone is not allowed to be moved outside of the zone, while all others can be moved anywhere on the map. However, if anyone doesn't have more than 1 Storehouse in pretty much every zone, I would wonder where they learned how to play the game.

my suggestions for the ability to move the storehouses is not one that is unachievable. there is no reason why this has not been allowed for us to do.

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Please BB, can we have a queue added for the book binder?

The PH, RPH & Barracks all have it. So why not for the Book Binder too? As it currently stands, I do NOT buy the gem buffs for the Book Binder for fear of me forgetting to go & take off the book & put another one on while the buff is running. I may be more inclined to want to spend gems on better glues if I know they're for sure not gonna go to waste either accidentally from me forgetting to log in or from me not having something come up where I cannot get back into the game in time. We have had this discussion in our guild (NOPE), and we all agree that a queue for the Book Binder would be very much welcomed.

I also agree with the idea of having a day/week/weekend or something as free moving about once a year. I would literally be happy with one day or a weekend (48hrs).

Another suggestion. Can we add a another slot to the build queue? The slot would just be a "temporary building" slot for moving purposes & not able to be used for regular building queue. Meaning when we want to move a building, we can place it in the temp slot. For example, I want to move building A to where building B is. And building B to where building A was. So I would put building B into the temporary slot. Then move building A to where building B was. And then take building B out of the temporary slot & put it where building A was. Thus making it where I don't have to pay excess moving costs when wanting to just swap two buildings

I would very much like to be able to sort my adventures by difficulty. Currently we can sort by Name, Date, Type, or Amount. If I could sort by difficulty, it would be super helpful, so I could finish the lower level adventures first. Another helpful option would be the ability to sort by number of players.

People will not quit because there is lack on new content. People will throw in the towel because of the constant game freezes, server lag, chat issues (every time the chat crashes, the whole game comes to a stop. It looks like this whole game is becoming a fly-by-night operation.
