Server running a lot better now and easier to log in. I too did not get Mondays reward after entering the voucher code.
I also have not received the reward after enter the voucher code. As for the new features - they are good to great, except for the trade screen. The filter portion is great being able to eliminate certain trades that do not interest me. The issue comes with the scrolling of trades. If a trade runs out of time, is disappears and you automatically return to the top of the scroll. If there are several trades that running off, you never can scroll down to see anything but the first 9 trades. Also, when you try to accept a trade, and your screen returns, the trade tends to falter and fail.
Seems unbalanced to offer prizes to those who manage to get into the test server somehow, but nothing to all those who try and try and try to no avail. Perhaps you can keep track of those who attempt in good faith to participate but due to shortfalls in capacity cannot do so. Then provide a reasonable award to those who never got in for a phase.
Had a hard time getting on but it is a great game. I like that you can adjust and move the buildings around to set up your town. hope that this feature is incorporated into the regular game. There are some in my guild didn't understand how to set up the town and it is a confusing mess. Now that they see the problems it would be good to be able to fix up their town. The only real problem with this game is that it is to addicting. lol!!
The new features are extremely helpful for a new player. I only started playing recently and features like this would have helped in the initial build. Although things are a little slow, I find that I am building better and stronger here but holding back a bit to keep within the quests since I feel it would be more beneficial to the test to keep it that way. I like the trade changes and the economic window, it really helps to know whether you have built enough to keep up the production you need as long as you figure in the lag time. Thank you for allowing me to participate in the test!
So difficult to get on the servers during normal hours. I wish the voucher did not expire because by the time I get back on the server, the expiration date has already passed. Frustrating. But the new features will make the game play better.
I cannot get it to log me back in with my facebook account?
I like it, but can't get beyond the perfect chain quest. I don't know what to do at this point, but tear down and rebuild.
This is my first experience with the testing server. The tutorial is quite effective and helpful to establish a base for the strategy needed to build a successful game. The only quest that occasionally seemed overwhelming were the trade quests with 3 or 4 items that needed to be traded in high quantities when I really needed to save those resources to upgrade resources. The Economy icon is awesome! and also helps to reiterate the strategy of the game. This is a very helpful tool that makes it more difficult for the player to find themselves in tight spot later with low resources and 0 building licenses.
I'm not as pleased with the new trading system. I miss having a trade and accepting as many resources as I need instead of setting up a trade multiple times in the free space - it could be that I missed something in the tutorial about this. Another thing that is rather obnoxious is the constant refresh of the trading list. I always trade with specific items in mind, but with the auto refresh as soon as I find the trade I want I lose it before I can click on it and have to fight with the system a few times before I can click the trade I need.
With that criticism aside I need to praise you folks for developing the greatest free game online! The graphics are spectacular, the art designs at log in that change with the season are great, and the many events (Easter, Euro Cup etc.) that offer a break in the regular game. I've been playing for almost a year and am very impressed with everything you offer and the fact that you care to let us help you improve the game. THANK YOU!
