Star coin purchases and cooldown

[queen-vicious]

Now that Star Coins are easily obtainable again I'd like to suggest that the cool down period for purchases is reduced, ideally to one purchase per item per day - but I'd happily settle for a 50% reduction. :D
More than ever with lots of adventures using elite troops and the very slow production time of these troops, using buff kills on adventures is very appealing but the rate that they can be bought at the moment reduces the opportunity to do this.

[Dorotheus]

I would be interested in what your current typical usage is ?

[sparkz]

Production time of elite units is way too high, but this is something that, if its ever addressed, should be changed directly.

Radical decrease of cooldowns of those items is very unlikely, considering that there's already multiple places in some adventures where using them does not just decrease losses, it trivializes parts of the content that are intended to be very difficult (ie. some combinations of bosses that are nearly impossible to kill using units, but will fall to a single rain of arrows).

+1 , specially with barracks guide that make elite troops training faster, so I can do many alies daily, if I play like 3 or 4 wisdom i'll be totally out of small cata, arrows specially.

my original star coins nearly to depleted but from ship i have maybe near 5K star coins.

+1 here - some of the new adventures are horrendous for losses so agree this makes the retraining times in elite barracks far too long.

If BB can't/wont alter the cooldown times, then at least give us decent x4 24 hours barrack buff for star coins..

all ready been suggested had have other ideas on it also HERE (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33466-Elite-ONLY-Barracks-buff)

Have you guys even thought about how many gems you will need to spend every day to run the quests which reward the star coins to be able to buy the buffs if the cool down was reduced. Have you thought about how the time taken to run those quests will cut into the amount of time to run the Ali adventures.

It is very nice that we have a little more star coins again.

I dont think cool down should be changed. Then it would make the game one more game where you can just pay your way instead of actually playing it.

So please just leave it as it is.

if I choose to spend gems that's my perogative. And as I also have a healthy supply of star coins saved from before the changes, I guess it's also my perogative to vote here how I see fit, ty

Yes I have, and I have no issue spending my gems on things i enjoy - and it's nice to take a break on the alis and enjoy the new content. For those who don't wish to spend their star coins it is no issue - for those of us who don't see the point in having hundreds/thousands of them in star my suggestion would allow them to actually spend what they have saved

[Jim_B]

I'm with Jolly and QV on this one. The elite barracks is too slow and the use of attack buffs helps to reduce retraining times. I too stockpiled tens of thousands of star coins before the XXL upgrade. I think 1 of each type per day would not affect game balance drastically.

spot on


Reduce the cooldown. It would help a little, save a few troops, speed things up a bit. maybe make some of the truly awful Ali adventures a bit less awful if i can nuke it.

But the best answer is in the quote. and lets have more different things to get with the mountains of star coins.
