My observatons

[Ornias]

I have been playing since Feb. 2012. I have enjoyed the game for the most part. I appreciate the efforts that BB puts into releasing new content. However I still have some gripes on basic gameplay.

1. Barracks/Provision house setup is horrible. 10k pop, 25 queue at a time? Come on BB, you can do better than this. Tribal wars did this better in 2003. Fish depots 2500 at a time? I need 100k at a time, minimum. Hope macros are ok, because a lot of us are using them.

2. Mail: Once I accept my "loot" please send it to inventory, and not the star system. I do not need, or want, notices on buffs. I know some people do, so give us a mail filter option. This is standard now for like 10 years on most games. Accepted trades should go to inventory as well.

3. 12 gens, spots for 9 of them. Really?

4. Run only when buffed. This has been requested for more than a year.

5. Trade office. Can we get the option for longer/greater qty trades? I would be willing to spend some gems to permanently upgrade trade listing time/lot quantity.

I actually tore down 200 or so lvl 5 buildings last month and put in a gold/coal/pwl chain. My island was balanced before, but 70 farms/silos to run 13-14 bakeries? Instead of balance I decided to just buy what I need when I need it. Only have to trade for parrots now, and I buy my buffs. It is actually much easier to be completely unbalanced than it was to be balanced.

/Rant over, thanks for listening.

I fully support two of your observations: adjustable fish deposits and the option for buildings to run only when buffed.

[Evil_J]

got my support for points 1, 2 and 4
thats just common sense, idk why this hasnt been implemented since.....the begining

[Wimpy]

No one knows why things like these do not get implemented. No one tells us why not. We are treated like mushrooms: Kept in the dark and covered with horse droppings.

I think its the German/America thing. The game was built for the Germans, if i have my sources right its a best seller over there.

Here in America, we get overlooked. A few BB's to send report cards over, a little of this, a little of that, but i have seen hundreds of thousands of ideas suggestions, bugs and errors from our community overlooked.

PvP? nope.
Barracks? nada
Provision house buffs? zip nada nothing.

(now thats my big three, we could go on for weeks on other bigger and worst things)

What we want is a true BB team for America. For all i know we do have one. I think there are several Offices in America from Blue Byte. But all i ever see is paperwork coming from there, (well i never hear them speak talk about what they do) and many of our BB's speak German as a first language. Not to knock that, but there is a major disconnect when we hear them talk.

Now to bring more focus, our BB's do help out a lot, G-1 hasn't been cleaner. (oh ya, all the players left!)
And they do contests fairly often. (i like winning)
And they do gem sales often. (whoops German sales Vs. American sales my bad)
And i love pounding them about PvP. (saaaaaaay)

Hmmmmmm. what to do, what to do.

Agreed. We've been asking for this a very long time. I'm hoping soon this becomes an option. I would also like to see a timer added to the provision house telling us how long the quantity amount being queed.

2. Mail: Once I accept my "loot" please send it to inventory, and not the star system. I do not need, or want, notices on buffs. I know some people do, so give us a mail filter option. This is standard now for like 10 years on most games. Accepted trades should go to inventory as well.

I believe this should be a settings option where we can make it go to the star menu or our storehouse instead.

3. 12 gens, spots for 9 of them. Really?

I would like to see a seperate island that is where the generals go specifically instead of the main island because I can see it where nobody has space where a single general can land except maybe in one or two generals.

4. Run only when buffed. This has been requested for more than a year.

Agreed, and have it where it automatically turns on when we buff them on a friend's island. This way we don't have to monitor or we can stay in an adventure while doing a swap.

5. Trade office. Can we get the option for longer/greater qty trades? I would be willing to spend some gems to permanently upgrade trade listing time/lot quantity.

I agree once again that we should have this option. Espiecally permanent slots for trading instead of spending gems for temporarily slots.

I actually tore down 200 or so lvl 5 buildings last month and put in a gold/coal/pwl chain. My island was balanced before, but 70 farms/silos to run 13-14 bakeries? Instead of balance I decided to just buy what I need when I need it. Only have to trade for parrots now, and I buy my buffs. It is actually much easier to be completely unbalanced than it was to be balanced.

I run 63 farms atm, covers 2 frairies, 2 stables, and 21 mills, 10 bakers. I don't know how your 70 farms/silos runs only 13-14 bakers. I believe you should have other wheat consuming buildings as well.

So how is that rebuild working for yah on obtaining parrots from gem sellers?

[Bashyo]

Sadly, I do not have your problems, nor will I ever. I aspire to be wealthy enough to tear out 200 level-5 buildings at a whim Heck, I aspire to have 200 building licenses! But what you suggest makes sense even to a little newbie like myself. I hate dragging a dozen things to Mayor's house, and I dislike the TO forcing a short deadline upon me. And 25 recruits at a time... even I feel that pain.

What I find most interesting is that the requests you make are for heavy spenders, so why BB doesn't bend over backwards to get things right for you folks is beyond me.

I have not had problems, so far. We shall see how it goes in the future though.

I would not define myself as a heavy spender. Yes I bought 2 gem pit during a 100% sale, and with the free gems turned that into 5 pits. I can self sustain at this point. Island size and "wealth" is more of a function of time than money. I did not have a gold chain for the first year and a half I played. I just got tired of the constant upkeep. It was easy enough to keep up production for adventures using 1k troop at a time, not easy at all for fairy tales using 5k. My complaints are not about rich vs poor, it is about BB's basic gameplay.
