You want an opinion? Meh is my opinion. Lack of imagination. What is the point of adding stuff when the basic running of the game is left broken. Freeze/refresh/ freeze refresh. News flash it's broken and what is worse you are not responding to the issue!
It might well be that as the player base is predominately made up of old and somewhat addicted players, who lets face it have become hardened to the many, oh so many bugs and work-a-rounds that this game has required over the years. And they probably are making the constant refreshing as part of the game, suffering in silence, to keep their fix. But do you really think that any new player, which the game really needs, are going to tolerate this constant refreshing? News flash they are not, I watch their lights go out quicker and quicker these days!
How did you manage to mess up the start, so badly.....again? How many years and events have you had to get it right for once? What happened to the bridge to PC island? You fix one thing and break another....again and again and again!
The seasonal adventures....you really have not grasped or heard what the players have been telling you over the years. Adding a few extra eggs to the least played adventures does not rectify the basic problems with those adventures...they are just not balanced to what the players want in the game or see as good value against time and resources. You added the venture system to address this, then come events you exclude them from the event resources ! Give me strength !
In total I did about three days adventuring before the freeze refresh issue drove me mad, even the Easter island ones became an irritant because of this.So my Easter event has been all about what I could do on the home island. Whoopee, find collectibles and send out legions of scouts and explorers and keep an eye on trade....pretty much all non event tasks....so in summary not much of an event for me at all.
The spring park, well I already said in my opinion the cooldown is too long. Good grief a buff to find collectibles.... what else do I have to look forward to if you take that away? The iron geo's finding larger deposits which cuts down on refinding time is the only thing that got my interest...shame at this stage in the game I don't really need them like I did before 60. ( Or should that be before I was forced to stop adventuring ;( )
Free buildings, are welcome, and nice, but are nothing new, so don't expect me to give the devs a pat on the back for these. And with the repeat of the Easter basket with not even a face lift to make it unique to this year, well like I said right at the beginning...MEH!
