New building coming soon: Exotic Wood Tree School

[RonEmpire]

You fail to realize that BB needs to get more income (sell more gems) to keep the game running. That has to be their number one goal.

I do not think this will do much toward this goal, but some will buy it.

If BB wanted to sell more GEMS.

They should look at what games like League of Legends and Dota2 are doing. They sell "SKINS".

I had suggested this before that if they designed icons for each of the generals and a way for people to click on the general camps to bring a window icon to see it, it has some nice show off feature to it.
It's great we can rename our specialist. But how about just a feature that lets us change their portraits. Purchase very portraits from the gem store.
People would buy this.

Maybe even skins for our buildings.

I think it's really upsetting that the things the players ask for. Like improvements to the game that makes quality of game life better, developers ignore.

They waste the programmers time making up useless features and useless stuff- when their programming time could be doing what improves the game.

Specifically, barracks, 25 troops production is tedious. There are a ton of threads on how to improve this.

Even little details, like "Unload" troops from general could be worked on or added.

I find it terribly annoying that when I go on adventures, with 12 generals. And I have to manually slide that bar to 0 on all the various troop types.
Why not a simple "unload" troops button next to the okay cancel button.

Simple quality of life features. Instead we get exotic village tree?

It makes me angry in fact.


We are running out of space on our island and they dream up of putting exotic wood on to the island? We already have exotic wood in the inventory from adventure map loot. Plenty of it.

If this tree is endless, then it might do well. But depleting like artic iron mines. (terrible).

Having some options to change portraits for specialists as well as further customization of buildings and such is a good idea. We should be able to change/customize avatars as well. New = better.

I refused to say these are worthless, however the price (Gems) I think may be deemed to high by all. And unless buffed may not be worth the effort at all, however! I do remember a time where the ewl were hard to obtain for those levels this may be a good idea........ My twocents

[TLC1]

I think it looks cool and will give it a try. Will pop my head into the test server to play around with it. I don't have much room on my island so something will have to suffer for this to be built :/

Something new is better than nothing at all guys, so lighten up a little.

At least they are still trying and fixing the mess-ups that are still happening to please the majority of it's customers and keep the game running.

[Jonius_Maximus]

The pricing is off, and really, the way to fix it is by increasing the initial capacity of the building, which is too small.

If this is going to cost 4x the cost of just buying logs instantly with gems, then the capacity should be at least 8x the amount of logs you get immediately with gems, ie: double the logs/gem ratio, but paid out over time.

One (or even 2) of these buildings at level 5 and x2 buffed should be able to supply a level 5 exotic wood sawmill.

Then it kinda works.

But having the gem cost be higher than the cost of just getting the logs instantly? Why would anyone do it?

This building seems absolutely pointless, let alone most of the level 50 players I know dont have room on their island to even put this new stuff. Focus on MORE SPACE instead of more stuff BB please we need more space to put these new buildings

Out of everything we suggest BB, this was certainly not something we were asking for; no disrespect but, really?? o.O
~ We have Explorers: You gave us a Science System so we can obtain more wood to search for Exotic Wood Logs
~ We do Adventures: You get the Exotic wood from Loot
~ We ask for more Island space: Because we have no room for buildings you are adding in, past level 46 your island is getting full and by 50, you make ways of utilizing what space you are given ( you also stare at a magic piece of land where a Golem once stood, but you cannot build there, and think maybe one day? o.O
Even if it is only a Noble, maybe two that would be very nice of you, or maybe even the barracks or Trade Office there? o.o
~ The amount of Gems for this Building: Horrible, just horrible. No doubt there will be a quest and you have to build it to complete it, but Level 50's like myself, will look and say though I want to complete the quest I am only going to get XP that will not convert to XP Coins.. so.. why would we bother? Or even if for granite ...gold... no way sorry. Unless it is a refund for the gems spent on this odd building idea, no will not be completed; which is very sad because I have no quests except dailies and my GQ's left, this one will just sit and take up space, like the building would.
We need to work together to improve our gaming experiences, and when people complain adding no solution, it sets us all back. Let's get together on the same page, and start looking to the future of Settlers, and not into the past of issues as so many tend to do, BB you are not excused from this, you need to begin listening more please. We need more room, and if you wanted to add a new building we would all say huzzah to and rejoice; make it a building we can make granite from in some fashion o/*
Okay finished posting my opinion, but I mean it with Love to all players who play daily and stand up for BB and each idea, convincing and encouraging players to keep playing, and how to utilize what we have in front of us to the fullest, as do all of the other respectable, and longtime players here, so please take our advice, this was not something that should have been brought into any meeting at your headquarters:3

Everyone please be safe, & Kind to one another all year! (Not just because of Santy Clause! *\o/*)
Okay I hush now o.o

The upgrades to level 5 cost more than the material the building will produce. 600gc and 1400 marble for level 3 and 4, and 800 explanks and 1000 gran. to get to level 5 alone...If the building had 20k exlogs to produce, 'maybe' then it would be worth the purchase, but at 1250 exlogs; not likely. It would be cheaper just to buy logs from TO....for the cost of the upgrades alone you could buy almost 10k exlogs

It should be clear by now to the public that BB designers/developers have NO clue on how their game works. And what the average gamer that plays their game needs.

It's very sad really.

And no matter what we post here. It's only getting translated as feedback to the German HQ. Which will get overlooked and ignored. We can only hope and PRAY that the german community and the german forums are successful in telling the developers how crappy this building is. I'm pretty sure none of the german designers and developers are reading this. All our feedback is getting funneled via community manager. And we all know community manager sugar coats our feedbacks. :-)
