Been asking around

I have been asking around what would make players buy more from RC. and the top five are.
1. Prices are too high for permits. 1/2 price day for permits.
2. More Land
3. Better packs
4. If the mystery building was not rigged (I think they are sick of the decor as well as myself.)
5. Better building that are more worth the money. (the price of building permits are high and not worth it, so give us what we are wanting like: the Mayors house, the shopping mall(for space saving), permits for farms/lumber mills and so on.
and i am sure we can have more people add what they would like to see that I didn't cover in the top five list I made. So people what do you want to spend a little more of your cash?

 

Ummm....al of the above? Ultimately, I want good value for my dollar. For the most part RC gives me that, but there are areas with room for (much) improvement. Priority is more land, because no matter what houses and facilities cost, there must be somewhere to put them. At this point I would be willing to buy with MM if that was the only way to get another field. I already spend MM on the premium buildings, so obviously improved buildings/more variety of such would induce me to spend. I think BP underestimates the spending potential of it's RC players...or changes would come quicker and communication (about player ideas being implemented) would be a lot more open. But I do know they listen and act (Easter proved that). Ok, off my soap box for now. Interested to see what others have to say. @Mr.Crowley, have you seen the thread/poll on the Needs Fulfillment Mall? You might want to take a look-see, my friend.

 

More land would be nice, as well as the better buildings or at least some different buildings. I mean, I know as I level up there will be some new stuff....but I also know how much of it there is (my guy's city is older and bigger than my city). They should not have removed the extra mill permits, so getting those back would be nice too.

 

Yes I believe your right. I think BP don't know the full spending potential of it's RC players. If their is something worth buying. I would have no issues with the spending much more, but sadly I am thinking RC is on the back burner. That's why land or ways to save the land are the two things that I want the most. After that I would say let the players that didn't buy all the mill permits, have a few more. To even out the field of production building.last on my wish list would be the mystery building to give me a little less decor. I could fill the coast with the stuff. And I am not talking about the decor you buy with coin. But that would be like finding a tear in the rain, before I ever see that come to pass.

 

Just a few words as much has been said elsewhere, and it's a very humble opinion.
Bigpoint do run discounts monthly; It is possible to get a 3750 Metro Money Pack for US$5.00. That buys you quite a few Mystery or Premium Buildings or (in my case) get to finish that event that has been eluding you for months I would not have purchased it for US$10, but at the time it was (what I consider) good value and I will do that again when the next round of discounts come round.
I do not believe that RC is on the backburner as such. Depends on your point of view. There is no doubt they (BP) are busy developing other games and expanding into other markets (platform wise); you only need check their official website and other global press sources.
As Geflin has said, the Easter Event proves that RC is still valued and an extra bakery permit was put up. I think that says a lot for everyone's driving comments here on the Forum. The last "Official" word that I can find was in September 2014. That was not really that long ago.
so much for a few words

 

As Confucious would likely say, just because we do not see the Robin lay it's egg does not mean there will not be more Robins by the end of Spring. You have to look at the end result evidence not the existing issues nor the lack of speed in "progress". Rather, look at two new buildings at Easter, three new play fields and Master Challenges in a couple years' time, the Cineplex (granted, it's buggy, but it's there). There is much to suggest we have not been abandoned. Them Robins be laying eggs in them there trees...we need only watch and wait for them to hatch (and grow up, and find their own mates, and lay more eggs....yeah, I get it, we're all getting impatient and duly so...but it doesn't mean we have been back burner-ed, just that we are one of many projects, and time/resources are finite).

 

As Confucious would likely say harder to run with pants down then with dress up. I have seen other games coming out with updates every month and major updates every season. So it would be most likely BP is with pants down and Gaijin is with dress up. I play warthunder as my main game they have already received about $1500 this year alone. just like pirate storm got about $3000 a year till it became the same thing every month with no change other than the players themselves.

 

Mr.Crowley is not kidding around about filling the coast with decor I have seen his city. Decor is all that man gets from the mystery buildings. And he has gotten a lot of them. He was the one that got me started on this game. So I feel bad that I now have so many building from the mystery buildings and emergency quest then he has ever seen. He gets about 1 building from every 20 mystery buildings. that's 19 decor. , myself 1 building to every 5 decor. He is so unlucky. Poor Crowley

 

Do you each have different City Hall Levels ?

 

Unfortunately, to your comments, I must say hai. Don't know if I spelled that correctly, but am sure you know it means I agree. But trust me when I say the winds of change are blowing. We just need to keep the discussions going, and keep the ideas flowing. I encourage everyone with good ideas to post the idea (Update & Idea forum) along with a poll. The more consolidated we can make the evidence of what players actually want, the better chance we have of motivating changes. Mr. Crowley, my friend, might you re-post this thread as such? You can count on my vote and commentary. Wishing you better luck getting those buildings

 

You have a lot of trust on your shoulders Geflin... but if medals were born from just keeping on, you and BJ particularly would be up to your eyes (well feathers and fur) in gold ones

 

From your fingertips to BP's wallet. Just kidding. It is hard to understand why certain people seem to receive certain items. That is why it is called random. I like Mr. Crowley seem to rarely receive buildings as an award. Just the luck of the draw. I also do not do well at the Casino most of the time. But that does not stop me from going and playing the reward for me is in the game play not the final result.

 

well sadly 3 more decor will be my rewards from the mystery buildings got 2 more to open up but I can tell from the size of the square inside I am not going to be happy Just a little luck would be nice also got 3 one star improvements from the gold emergency tokes. Got to give me a break don't they? Not lol.

no we have the same city hall building Lv 8
I don't think that would change anyones luck because I have never had any luck in the two years I been playing.

Hey I know they can sell me a rabbit's foot, that will increase the chance of getting good stuff from the mystery buildings. lol.
We don't have anyone with a rabbit for their profile picture right?
No but really how about selling some premium, for accounts that do increase the chance of getting good stuff as well as cutting the cost of MM 5% spending or event resources used 20%.that could be worth it in the long run. as well as the top gamers club for the money mayors.

 

On that basis I agree Keep trying with your rewards though. Interestingly some friends of mine have just started and they are getting all sorts of good stuff rewards wise on the lower levels. Just luck I guess

 

I tend to have good luck overall, but have also seen a slew of the deco/classic RIs so totally understand what Mr. Crowley is saying. All I can do is say hang in there, good luck, and BP/RC please adjust your 'random selection' code?

 

As I have said before I seem to have pretty bad luck with the packs and the lotto matic. So it really comes down to the luck of the draw.

 

really well that is so sad 4 me cause hear in B.C{British Columbia} for 3750 mm we have to pay$12.99 usd.ugh i wish i would be buying that all the time if that was hear!!! lol well not that much but as much as my resources will allow

billyjim i thought i was the only 1 with the bad luck draw with the packs.most of mine really suck,i spend a lot of coin on improvements so i have a lot of them{so i don't have 2 spend my mm on renewing them}but with the packs i get more which can be frustrating since i spend mm on the patrols to get the booster packs. what a vicious cycle

 

That it is. The more you decide to be particular the more you get what you do not want. I am starting to think the game is sentient. If I need to replace a fancy RI I get Epic, Luxury, and of course classic RI's several times until I finally get the fancy one I need. Yes I have a particular pattern that I use for replacing and upgrading RI's.

 

BP Discount % aside, the $value would probably be exchange rate driven, which is often disproportional to any perceived value. For example some financial analysists will use the cost of a Big Mac ® to assess the 'real' $ value in different countries.
