sad not to see "fixed loading times"
Exactly.....all I want to see is "fixed loading times". I can't figure out any of your instructions to change my computer, and I'm not giving up my MAC and buying a PC.
I to very much want the loading problem fixed, I log on threw my phones wifi hotspot and have very limited amount of GBs and this extra long loading [ up to an hour] is eating it up. i will be out long before the end of the month.
what you have done is great, just please do us all a favor and get the loading fixed, and yes i have tryed other browsers, plus what you suggested nothing works.
Yes, indeed. When so many people are experiencing problems that work-arounds are published for multiple browsers on multiple OS, the problem is not the end user's device. Something about the game changed to cause this; one would expect the fix to come from the source.Quote:

An improved Finesmith would be very useful, tho...
When are we going to see the game loading issue fixed? I love this game, but waiting 3 or 4 or 15 minutes to get into it is really trying my patience.
I would love a 3 or 4 or 15 minute loading time. Mine is into the hour(s) or not at all.Quote:

I hope this works for you and offers some relief. I feel bad for complaining about 15 minutes, especially when it's normally around 7 or 8 since I started using this trick.
please kill the love garden quest line when you no longer have a love garden.
please fix observatory for quartermasters
please fix the guild quest menu hidden bug
please fix loading times issues for all users not only Windows ones
re new imp lettersmith... ...nice? but would rather see existing problems addressed first, and my single existing lettersmith is underworked. cant see the need for imp one
fixing existing issues should take priority over developing new stuff
amenQuote:

Premium friend buff sounds good until you get to the part about how long it lasts.
From Test:Quote:

Duration is 30 hours
3,000 gems
Since it is the most useful it will come last. After you have used the gems to buy the less useful one and have to buy more to get the thing you actually need.Quote:

Improved Lettersmith NOT needed, Improved Finesmith definitely needed.
I only use one regular lettersmith compared to five finesmiths.
BB missed the bus on this one.
On a positive not, adding tokens to weekly sub-quests is a good thing.
Get out of my head. At least you think they missed the bus, I'm debating if they take the short bus unironically :(Quote:

3k gems for a buff????? Almost as much as a training ground...
oh well.... good luck BB to find buyers for that!!!!
Now, if you can provide a way to sort specialists on the "send to adventure" or "send home" lists. Or group by type. Or sort by number of loaded troops. Or anything other than the random lists that change every time you edit the troops loaded on a general.
Indeed, Premium friend buff worth 100 times less, just like the instant upgrading for buildings. They need to hire someone for marketing. Sell for few to many! ;-)
Improved Lettersmith is useless too.
Lol.. used to drive me crazy... while I played.. Would often miss someone..Quote:

PS - I get that everyone needs to make money.. But the way BB does it, I just don't get it.
I wish I had not wasted 125$ on this game.
But it lasts for whole 30 hours... Only 100 gems per hour..Quote:

Lets all quit already!!
why can't I get logged on since event ended
The only way I got through the event and can still logon is with Puffin Secure Browser. Other major browsers (that worked just fine before) like Chrome will not load at all or Edge have logon or loading page issues also... ;(
BB please take our word for it! This is destroying the game play for your players and unless that is your objective in the first place then:
PLEASE FIX THE GAME LOADING ISSUES NOW!
You have and will continue to lose players otherwise.
P.S. I am now having to pay for a browser that can actually load your "Free Browser-Based Online Game" <--- What's wrong with this "Picture" ?
Seems very expensive for only 30 hrsQuote:

This is getting old. Maybe it is time I took my time and resources and found a game that is more stable.
It is extremely expensive for only 30hrs..Quote:

Well there is also an option to pay with 10K star coins. Hopefully you have some level 75 friends who feel generous...Quote:

With the Lab running flat out on Star Coins that's *50* days of production, not to mention the 800,000 Plat Ore and 40,000 Coin to make them.Quote:

I have to say, this game is getting less and less interesting over time. It's only the folks in my Guild keeping me around at this point, not anything BB is doing. :/
There is a laundry list of issues and improvement requests that have been around for years. BB needs to get on *those* before launching any new 'improvements' that no one is asking for.
The lab is by far the worst source of star coins in this game. Bounty hunter on Mary gives 100+ each Baba adv which can easily give over a thousand a day (depending on how much you play). Also after level 70 you can get the pathfinder, which gives weekly quests and if you complete six you get 2500 star coins as a reward, plus after level 75 (see my comment about having a L75 friend) all XP gained is converted into Star Coins. So getting 10K is not 50 days but less than a week.Quote:

Players will no longer receive redundant Mountain Clan Campaign blueprints. Any extra redundant blueprints in your inventory will be converted into blueprints for chains that can still receive upgrades. If all upgrades are already unlocked, you will instead receive productivity buffs.
*does a happy dance
i still wait to see it done before being really really happy, tho... too many booboo's lately to trust BB.
I don't know if this could help with the loading times but is there a way that the basic game files needed for the game could be stored on a players pc. This would take a considerable load off of the game servers having to pump out the files needed to load the game each time a player wants to play & in turn lessen load times. I'm sure there are files already on the players pc for this but I could be wrong as I don't know the particulars of the game in this way. Just an idea that could be explored.
This summed up my thoughts exactly. I like the game but unless they are introducing something new.....an improved lettersmith? Possible one of the least used buildings ( ok, 1 of the 10 LEAST used buildings) on my island. Was this a "spin the wheel" idea? Couldn't figure out what new to bring to the game and you spun the wheel and it landed on the Imp lettersmith? Also...the love garden..... Possibly one of the biggest waste of event resources, I have ever spent.Quote:
