Popular Post rapmanej Posted July 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) The newly released infra purchase tool is apparently only available for VIP subscribers. @AlexPlease, rethink this. Walling off game-related features is not a good start. Edited July 9, 2019 by rapmanej 1 22 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Puns Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I’m with Rap on this. Credits have insane value right now, people that don’t buy them usually don’t stick around long. And those people aren’t going to be buying a credit to use mass infra kits, those are going to be the 20+ city count boys that typically already buy VIP. If you want new stuff to make VIP more worthwhile and marketable to the people that don’t already buy it, fine. But a tool that people only use when they have too many cities that it’s obnoxious is not the way to get new buyers. 1 Quote 22:26 +Kadin: too far man 22:26 +Kadin: too far 22:26 Lordofpuns[boC]: that's the point of incest Kadin 22:26 Lordofpuns[boC]: to go farther 22:27 Bet: or father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeMilton Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 same. this is adding tedium to the game for those who aren't paying for VIP rather than adding benefits for VIP users. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's worried about the game going RuneScape's path, and making all future useful features premium only. While I'm worried about it going the esim route where essential tools become premium only. Similar concerns, but vastly different solutions to address them.

Kyubnyan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The problem with this IMO is that VIP was always supposed to be cosmetic stuff for your nation and has never barred people from using certain features before. I'm sure that Sheepy didn't want to come off this way but it's really hard not to see it like that when VIP has always been about decorum. Quote Humans cannot create anything out of nothingness.

It's not a necessary tool, it's a convenience tool. If you want to support the game, you get this benefit of added convenience. I think that's pretty fair, and much better than a more "pay to win" system. 3 Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Guest Frawley Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Mass buying infra is largely cosmetic, I'm generally quite happy for VIPs to have access to features that while comfortable have no real impact on gameplay or are achievable by active players in similar timeframes. Besides the new @ feature is basically just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
