Dev's Diary 1/6/2012

[Wallstreet]

Being a player since July at the start of closed beta, I have seen a lot of players leave already, some of who were the highest level players on the server when they did leave. I appreciate "finally" seeing some sort of update for the developer diary which is long overdue but I must say that I am extremely disappointed. Maybe Ubisoft just doesnt care and has enough newer players joining and wasting their money so they are catering to them. Moving buildings is a horrible idea for several reasons already stated by others, and nothing about PvP?? Come on, theres no competitive drive for this game and its obvious to me now that Ubisoft is just trying to please this newer wave of players joining since they are yet to realize the disappointment and redundant grind you face as you reach upper level 30s to level 40+. Just my 2 cents and I'm very happy this game is free to play, but I wont be sticking around much longer when they cant fix simple travel times for generals that we paid money to have and save time. Copy the German version like we dont have access and it works since most the players here dont even check it. Very very disappointed, I had high hopes for this game...

At level 38 I am still moving buildings. Its part of the game. The game is easy as it is. You start allowing buildings to be moved without a cost and you are going to find players getting bored and leaving in a faster pace then they do now. Collecting resources to move buildings gives you a goal...

A true goal woul be future PvP , maybe in the form of challeng match, or adventure.

I'm more interested in you guys fixing the bugs. What is the plan for that.

[Louisa]

Thanks for this news! Sounds great.

[Pharro]

I can't wait till you implement the feature to move buildings. Its going to be nice to be able to fix my economy.

Quick Questions for the developers
Will Advanced buildings cost us gems?Or extra money?
Will we eventually get a research building?
How will the Auction house differ from Trading other than gems and bidding?

Already read this on the german forums a week ago.

You'll notice that this is nowhere in the near future. IF PvP gets here, its at least a year away, likely more.

Sally has the correct frame of mind. If your initial placement is off, and you have to tear it down. If you were to build a building and site it in the wrong place for real, you'd have to tear it down and start over. I know it is "painful" but that is part of playing a building sim, you have to make the trade offs of various locations and be aware of what you're doing.
