I just hope that once we moved to a new system that i can finally turn my island around, so i can see it from the backside :)
+ 100 ohh yes - that would be great indeed.Quote:

A) I would like to be able to trade up my generals, geologists & explorers. eg if I have 2 basic geologists I could trade the 2 of them for say one iron willed geologist, the same with generals and explorers. And this would be for each level of specialists, generals, explorers and geologists. It would improve the level of skill of the specialists a player holds and reduce the number of specialist held in star menu. It may be that a SMALL cost is involved such as 100 granite to trade up 2 geologists, 100 bronze swords for 2 generals and 100 map frags for 2 explorers.
B) I also agree with RinceWinde that having bulk send outs for geologists and explorers would be great, although I can see issues with them being on different time bands due to their skill levels.
C) I'd also like to see a feature from the old CD Rom version of the game where you could click a building/mine etc and view it's status and then click to the next building/mine of the same type and be taken straight to it. It was in that old version so can be done.
I wouldn't mind standalone application. But that would require to remove all browser opening buttons, especially the "rankings".
I think it`s time for option, that allow us to send group of Explorers Find adventure, treasure or expedition.
I am not a programmer but it seems to me the easiest way to prolong the game after most browsers stop supporting Flash is to create a Ubisoft web browser that supports flash. I realise there is the slim browser but that seems to be very bugged and many cannot use it.
If this is done it will give developers time to create a solution to the flash problem.
As regards new features I think a garrison island that can hold barracks, training grounds and all the gens when they return from adventures would be useful
Priority - something that works, good to know it's not going to be flash.
Feature requests:
Ability to "buy" a move building window.
xxxx star coins or other currency that gives you 24 hours to freely move buildings like we could in the amnesty a few years ago.
And as so many others - bulk send specialists.
Send retrenched gens to a separate star menu tab and have the ability to "retrench" other specialists to the same menu
At the moment BB has not really convinced us that the game has a future. Years of silence and the continued muddled communication has made lots of players leave or stop using money on the game. The resent strange signals has not changed that. We are waiting to see what will be,- and many still think that the game ends in December.
I myself don't know what to believe, but no matter what I would wish for a game and a game community with better communication, more and better feedback. Well real I cant wish for more, because that would still amount to 0, I wish for feedback.
Not to feel that BB sets some server higher than others. Often we have got info from players on German server that has not been given here.
have posted a few times in here and i seriously can't believe the lack of honesty from ubisoft/bluevyte ,, the hardcore players and those who love playing game want a simple answer and they would like to see whats happening i myself don't want suggestions on the gameplay at this current moment in time ,, have already stepped away from playing and not buying anything ,, opera as already been updated with a message saying that flash will be removed on the 20 of December ..
its not rocket science is it..
almost reminds me of talking to the uk mp's they can never answer the question :D
I 3rd this! Please reduce the clicking madness for higher end players.Quote:

of course also improvements with game but other guys already post it here (rid of the flash, stable game, lower HW resources requirements, multi platform support, multi sending explorers or geologists...)
Yes...
THIS
This must be one of the most pathetic updates everQuote:

In all honesty I am slightly taken back that 3 months away from the end of flash we are asked for suggestions. With 3 months to go one would expect there is a clear strategy as to what will replace the current setup the fundamental designs are in place and in reality one would hope you are in some kind of beta testing stage of core functionality. The last thing any developers what to here with 3 months before go live is, "oh here are a bunch of new additions from the community". The new design should have been locked down by now and your in bug fixing stage. Only changes are to resolve flaws and not adding features. Your main focus now should not be on asking what people would like but planning your cut-over strategy.
Having worked in IT for a long time and planning and implementing major system upgrades. The fact you are asking for ideas now, fills me with concerns as to the direction (if any) you are going.
Its a very good point some have made it takes months to recode to another system so you must have a direction your heading in or your just lying to delay the fact there is no future to the game as no one will invest in a game with no future....if its the fact you are not sure what you are testing will work again you should be telling us or the excuse will be that we was hoping it would work and it hasnt so thats that.....I remember a BB saying they didnt want to take the game down for a long period to transfer the game but again if that happened we all know they game wouldnt come back as people would get used to having no game
Can a flash game be embedded into HTML with a link within the same site to send to a new TSO area which starts of as another Island you can travel to. Slowly making the flash version unnecessary. So the HTML would have to be cross-linked for population, stock and army . I have bigger visions of this but do not have the know how to explain how it could be done and maybe it cannot.
I know absolutely nothing as this question may show.
Update is great!Quote:

I guess 2gb memory issue won't be an issue no more.
Now, we know they put some programmers on the job.
I hope for monthly updates or how long their scrum runs go.
After all players on TSO are also an interested and invested party ;)
Important is they write in such a architecture, that conversion into different platforms won't be an issue. Linux here ;)
Scrum unfortunately is a little chaotic programming style, so some architecture should be agreed upon.
Good luck BB!
They did not. In fact they pretty much did not actually say anything. It's kinda the same "we are working on or looking for..." that has been said for years. It's soon a month from the original post and we still don't even know the platforms that will be supported or will it remain as a cross-platform browser game. Not even the used "tech" has been named while it should already be set in stone by now.Quote:

Where are those thoughts and insights ???????????????
I cant find them - I would like to read them, as I am sure the rest of the settlers players would.
please read all that post and let us know what you understood from itQuote:

I would assume that if the game is to go on BB should have a plan by now. The fact that BB just keep stalling- makes me think that they just want to cash in all they can before they close the shop.
they are saying in there that they are working on a solution to keep the game going.Quote:

it's only a game anyway. i won't hang on on what they could've / should've or didn't do so far.
looking back at their revenues, they've done pretty well
Please give us the chance to explore, find and colonise new lands.... as far as I'm concerned the named 'settlers' lost it's meaning as far as the game goes ages ago... I spend more time in world sending off explorers and replacing fields and while there's nowhere to build or settle theres little point in buying gems.....
There is one possibility I have not seen mentioned here. By not providing us with the information they are also keeping the information out of the hands of the less than honest types. The existence of a rule about 3rd party software means they know it's beyond them to ensure game security. However by not letting the cat out of the bag they are denying those unsavoury types months of development time.
I quite liked the island system in Anno Online, being able to shift production to other islands and then ship them to where needed seemed to work. Settlers Online has become more like a game about maximising space efficiency. The new trend towards large buildings where their speed increases the more of them you have does not help.

Will this happen to T.S.O. ? "close down" ?Quote:
FarmVille, once the most popular game on Facebook, is to close down in December, more than 11 years after its launch.
At its peak, FarmVille had more than 80 million players tending to crops and raising animals - and asking Facebook friends for help.
But the social network will stop supporting Flash-based games in December, rendering it unplayable.
have you read the post on the homepage?Quote:

His post fitted more into this thread then yours did...seeing they are asking if tso is headed the same wayQuote:

Attack report would be nice to see how much enemy units lost too.
Anyway if this is wrong place to write these I am sorry.
Indeed.... Come on BB give us some detail please - there is no justifiable reason to not reveal what the new technology is, how the development is going and when we will see some beta testing - tick tock, tick tock December looms ever closer....Quote:

i had to log in with it!! no sleeping!
So first off... Im happy and excited for the future.
there are some ideas i have that all are rooted in the useless stuff we have.
i know some have been talking about a "refundable" option.
For some items that would be good for me as there is stuff i never use.
But for generals and explorers i wouldnt want to refund.
for explorers maybe some way to easier manage them.
But for the generals that we dont use i would like to see a way that we can use them again. Yes there are some ways to use many generals with 1r for blocking with minimal losses. But to be honest id rather see some different use of my older generals.
1. We could have them function like explorers. we could load them with troops we have plenty of and send them on some kind of adventure where we cant control them and where they gather experience and resources and return "empty" of troops. I would use every single general once again if we get a option like this.
It could be like "daily Server wide goal/adventure" where we donate troops using our generals to "fight a war" and they all return with beneficial stuff aswell as exp.
2. Likewise we could have guild vs guild wars or just Guild PVE wars/adventures where we send generals and troops to defeat a common enemy where we get exp + guild coins + usefull stuff (buffs and resources). it could be repeatable over and over once the guild have defeated the map/enemy.
3. a implementation of (1) and a seperate Guild vs guild option using Marshals for those guilds and players who would like that kind of action.
86 days to go and still no indication that the game will continue without flash.
At this point in time they should be inviting people to a new test server running the game on whatever platform they are porting it to. The lack of information about even the platform they intend to use indicates they have no plans for the future of this game.
In all honesty i hope they do have it sorted but part of me thinks come december I will come to the game and it wont be here all that will be is a notice saying due to flash ending and we had hoped we could work out an alternative but sadly that isnt the case so the game has had to be ended...which translates to we did try for 5 minutes a few months ago when we realized we couldnt use the slim browser like we intended too but we needed the sales so we kept quiet dangling a carrot in front of your noses...til the very last minute
