Please turn production week off

[Zotamedu]

Well you got 2-3 weeks to produce enough 3x buffs i did my self if you couldn't produce them you can always buy it in TO. And still if you have no buff now you also can buy them from me i got 5k badge for sale.

Well that's a lie. The only mention I can find about the production week is hidden in the Limited Offers thread under news. It was never mentioned in the news feed on the front page. That post was made on the 17th so that's 8 days before the update was introduced. 8 days is less than two to three weeks. So we got 8 days to prepare if we happened to read a post in a thread under the News and Announcement sub forum. A place where there's really no point in visiting since all the threads as locked and they are linked in from the front page.

BigTim2012 it just excuses of your laziness. If you don't know where is production stop/start button cant help you. And if you think that all news are maid on main page is only for admins so be surprised its for us. Ofc lot of folks didn't read news like you but who's mistake it is? They did announce it few weeks ago before event so we all had time to prepare even if we didn't had enough time we always could reorganize production. And its really fun that you have change things up. Even about loosing guns from loots you all know few month ago... So already could be ready for iron production. So don't blame game, blame your self. All games work like this if you play it you must learn about it if you think everything stays as it was when you started so no one will play a game like this. Just adapt it.

Another one spreading lies. There was no news on the front page and the only mention I can find on the forums is from 8 days before they implemented it. It was a post in a thread. I am still waiting for an explanation on how I am to pause half of my lvl 3 bronze weaponsmith.

Why are you defending the blatant stupidity of the devs? This is a moronic design decision. There is no reason to implement it like this other than total incompetence.

Unfortunately each one of these special events brings a common foe with it, the lag monster! based on this alone its enough to get a -1 from me and a please remove. The lag does seem to have subsided now, but that still doesn't mean its okay for us to put up with it for a week or so. The amount of coin I saved in moving fee's I prolly lost on blocks gone wrong that wouldn't have happened in lag free normal play. So I gained? nothing.


As for this argument regarding preparation. I would imagine quite a few people juggle hectic real life's and this, Some days I get an hour or two to tackle household tasks while trying to get minimal things here up and running, I doubt I'm the only person like this. Not only this people prepare in different ways, for example some people may have been preparing for the removal of weapons by stocking up, other may have been preparing for the Xmas event, Some others stocking up on their favourite adventures. There is only so much that can be done.

Just so you know I have not run out of coal and nor will I before the 2 weeks ends. I still don't like the special event.

. I am still waiting for an explanation on how I am to pause half of my lvl 3 bronze weaponsmith.

.

Run it on Monday, pause it on Tuesday, run it on Wednesday, pause it on Thursday........are you getting the idea yet ?

[Narcil]

That is still total BS as has been explained in many previous posts. I'll do it once more because you obviously didn't bother actually reading the previous input on the matter.

How am I supposed to compensate this "buff" with two lvl 5 and one lvl 3 bronze weaponsmiths? How do I turn of half of a lvl 3 building?

i have read the input. i just think its a pathetic excuse for laziness.

[Zotamedu]

Run it on Monday, pause it on Tuesday, run it on Wednesday, pause it on Thursday........are you getting the idea yet ?

So the way to opt out is to introduce a lot more work for me? That's not really a reasonable solution to a moronic event implemented by a bunch of monkeys.

[Zotamedu]

i have read the input. i just think its a pathetic excuse for laziness.

So I am lazy for wanting a working game? I am lazy for not liking the entire production being messed up by a bunch of incompetent programmers that wouldn't know good game design if it bit them in the arse? Are you stupid? There is no rational reasons to defend this bonus production week. It is a moronic idea implemented by idiots. There are several ways they could have done it that did not mess things up for players. You posts have shown a complete lack of understanding of what they actually broke and you call me lazy and pathetic. Try reading it once again and don't bother replying until you get a basic grasp on the actual problems.

Excuses for my laziness? I put HOURS into this game every day, I am not a lazy player. And no, I don't know where the "start/stop production" button is, I can't find it and didn't even know it existed until quite a long way into the period, by which time all my chains were f'd and I had to go and search to find out why. That's not me being lazy, that's a lack of clear information. If we're talking about the "Status: Working/Stopped" button on each building's info panel then that's even more ridiculous - my economy is set up so everything just stays on and runs, I shouldn't have to be turning things on and off to keep those chains balanced.

I enjoy the fact that new features are added regularly, and I explore them and use them all the time. But when something gets added that breaks the game, clearly for a lot of people, and it is hard to find out why, that's not good.

Not true.

Each time you log in, you get a notification ... at least, I do:

[15:04] System: Some buildings' production chains are currently more effective.

Actually, the production week is great because it removes a TON of lowlevel resources from the game.

I am currently sitting on roughly 3.5m copper ore, 5m coal and 4m pinewood that just accumulated over the course of the years, and I've burned through a good 1m coal and 300k pinewood during the event.
I still make +6k/12h Copper and gained +35k Iron Ore since the event started, but guess where these numbers would be without?


The real value of these items, lowlevel players excuse me for posting such dwindling numbers, is now significantly increased.
Players who are currently complaining about the soaring prices of these items are actually the key beneficiaries of the event:

A month ago, people would sneer at your attempts to sell coal (at all, nobody wanted it).
Now you can make a fortune by selling coal: 20-30 coins for 1k coal is possible and demand is huge!

When I started, I had to give 100 Copper Ore for a single coin, now you can get at least 6 coins for that amount.

If you simply ignored the "Bonus production week", put ALL smelters and smiths to sleep and actually sold the coal and ore... guess what? You'd be making tons of profit!
Rather than use 3 Coal and 1 Copper to make 1 Bronze Sword, stop the smelters, stop the weaponsmith, sell copper 1:1 for swords, sell the coal for profit and voila, you're not suffering but actually benefitting!

If you're buffing your buildings, please don't come whine that turning them off instead of buffing them is so much terrible extra work because that doesn't count. Period.


I think the event (aside from the lag) is good for the game.
Sorry for posting such an unpopular opinion.
