    Firstly, don't panic! Remember forums are just that, a place to discuss ideas and exchange thoughts on current situations.
    So many people expect to get results by throwing angry statements on forums. This often will disappoint.
    Remember the staff and game developers for TSO are employed to do the job requirements set out by people a lot higher up the chain of command.
    They may be given free reign to make new ideas a reality, but at the end of the day they are there for one reason. To make the company money in any way they can.

    If you have a genuine gripe about this new 'idea' and you think the developers have got it wrong and you seriously want it reviewed then you should consider writing to BB head office directly.
    Dont use aggressive language or rush your point through, you should structure a complaint in a mature manner explaining what you think is wrong and why.

    Head office will listen to you if you come across as genuine and serious, they are a business and you are a potential customer, it is in their best interest to do what is right if they want your continued loyal custom and a potential buyer of their products.

    Many of the younger players will not understand this and you expect to see a lot of 'unfair' comments, but take a deep breath and do the right thing and your voice can be hear'd.

    My personal views on this long awaited feature are also that to have it buy gems only is a bit unfair on all players.
    Maybe a new buff available in the enhanced provisions house would be more appropriate, especially if keeping in line with the era the settlers is set in.
    Maybe it should be a skill available to a new specialist, to build upon and require some elements already in game such as mentioned the gun powder and other resources to build the components of the buff.

    By all means have it available in the shop to buy but at least give people the option to create the buff the 'long way round' should they choose to.
    Many people would be happy to buy gems in small doses, often, if the money spent was deemed good value for the gain received.

    This current option for this feature has obviously upset many people, but you don't have to buy it. It is just that, an option, at the moment.
    Why not let it ride, and if no one buys it they will be forced to re-evaluate their poor choice of delivering the new feature. It does seem like a money spin to crawl back some cash quickly by enticing you to have something you want but constantly play mind games by displaying it but making you pay big for it. Like having a Porche car tied in ribbon outside your house, its yours, but the keys will cost you more than you can afford

    Thanks for listening to my small rant, no offence was intended to anyone.

    Their prices do need looking at though, make them more realistic and BB will make money on it.
    It might not be a scam as such but I still cannot see the justification for it being nearly 6k gems dearer than when it was originally tested and less space.

    Price for this new lag bomb/toy/nifty idea if it works is a tad too much. A quest line or skill opening in a skill tree etc would be perhaps more popular amongst most of the players.
    Whilst i realize this is a firm making money out of us, after so long a wait,and the hiccoughs associated with this particular 'update/upgrade,' it would have been nice to see a bit of give from the BB machine.
    don't think i will waste my gems on this new funny until i have 10 gem pits
    oh wait,that ain't gonna happen either.

    How many people would say the price was not too high if instead of getting free gems for regular login you could go 5 weeks and get a FREE shotfirer or 10 weeks and get a FREE demolition crew. Well guess what, that's pretty close if you just use the free gems!

    Also if you are a lvl 50, that translates to 3300/5940 star coins.

    It is 100% possible to get all of these buffs solely through gameplay without spending a single penny/cent. Therefore IMHO bit hard to justify any criticism based on "making money out of us".

    you need 18 000 gems for 40-50 build space
    90 weeks, almost 2 years
    BB don't understand their own game

    this is terrible. although i have enough gems for this, it's wayyyy too expensive. also, this doesnt need to be solved with gems.

    suggestion 1) only make 1 demolition buff (not 3) make them 99 gems a pop. (a weeks worth of logging in)
    suggestion 2) make a building that actually uses the unneeded gunpowder from storage to create the buff. (seen in first reaction to this post)
    suggestion 3) the location where a player can blow up stones is completely useless. remote locations where nobody in his right mind would put production houses there.
    suggestion 4) test server came with 3 islands south of the main island. PERFECT! great idea. let us conquer them! let us claim them! build bridges towards the islands, and have enough space for everything.

    i advise ALL players to not buy a single mountain buff and completely ignore the rediculous path BB is walking right now.

    Or about 150 fairytale adventures... which you should be able to knock out in a year or so
    ... Well we did also ask for a reason to keep playing after lvl 50

    Hmm? You don't get star coins from fairytales and lvl50 gems have a week cooldown so it's still 90 weeks 24/7 logging in and doing advs nearly each day. (90 weeks of lvl50 gems is +300 bk without prem)

    Can't wait to see the costs for the extra island unless they cancel them. Based on dynamite costs and the amount free space gained vs islands that gave nearly +200 spots total it means island either cost 20-30k each or dynamite users are going to get ripped off if islands come later and are cheaper (per build space).

    The 90 weeks is counting the 100 gems you can get with star coins.

    If you were to buy the gems on a 100% sale it would cost you about €40,- for 18K gems. And that's just to clear some mountains. That's simply too much for a buggy browser game

    Also buy to win games always fail in the end.
