Pretty soon, we'll be able to stack buildings on top of each other, you'll just have to buy airspace.
Not really a waste veteran will still be able to build 2 limited building at the same timeQuote:

For sale level 175, aa 1.8billion, 25 health packs , 3000 gold bars let me know if interested?
to build 2 at same time is smtn i always did want. but for 125 gold its still too high imo. especially as ive been robbed of hundreds of gold money energy and as the games got so many bugs and force closes it wld be better if gree just closed it and stopped hurting ppl.
as for the buildings again only good ones are gold so just like the high prices they was when they was first out they once again discriminate against ppl and those that simply cant /couldnt afford them, the gold or even trust gree anymore when even units ppl pay for never give what they state.
just a rip off and only thr for rich ppl.
Some say there is no strategy in this game, depends on how you play.Quote:

I agree. I dont buy gold often and the gold I have now is from gold videos and offers. With that gold Im going to buy the buildings. Even if I were to be gold free, I would buy a vault or 2 JUST for the +1 building upgrade and LTBs. It is worth the 100 buckss because you gain a really good boost ( one I did not have yet ) and a huge income per hour. That will let us do more in Frontline and afford the bigger LTBs. Now we can have 4 of each of these buildings. Its a game changer and increases the economy in the game, since more players will have good buildings to raid.Quote:

Between this and the equipment it is all a level playing field. 3 years down the drain only a few better bonuses left. What's teh point of playing a game for years if you cant build some small advantage to save some real cash.
It would be the perfect time to create a mini.
24 days (cost 120g per day), 24 buildings, make sure you got space and plan ahead.
For the budget conscious and those not willing to buy and use gold
(In no particular order)
-janai facility
-volcanic citadel
-taj mahal
-Amstel hotel (requires a lot of space on map, beware)
-robocorp research
Average ones
-mad scientist lab (18hr...yuck)
-GReE hq (18hr plus it's the "GReE" hq)
-black sea tower
The rest of the cash buildings are turds IMHO
Cheap gold buildings
-curragh engineering 25g ea
-fdf central command 15g ea
-ani hq (18hr) 10g ea
Why does there always need to be a advantage? They had the advantage for 3 years now. The game changed to be more accessible for more player, which is not a bad more for the game. For a little gold, even the low IPH players can catchup. This is a good thing. There will always be new players.Quote:

This will simply create a whole new huge divide between players.
That's why LTBs should not be re-released.
Gree probably saw how many people were spending gold to get the extra LTB's earlier and figured they would make tons more allowing 4 of every LTB. They know how many suckers there are playing this game..LOL

All they had to do was chamge the color of the building and rerelease the same ones at a rate of 2 per LTB. It would have gotten close. Or just release some new gold buildings?
By your logic there should be no LTB new buildings should be released then stay forever. Guy that miss this are even further behind the 8 ball now. Even more players will have a high iph that someone that starts after jan 13 can't compete with. No reason for a player to start after that date.
The game is different now than it was years ago. I know because I played it then. They are still stronger then we are. They are willing to spend more then we are. For 3 years they had the advantage, not that its a bad thing but games change. If they have to release them each year to rebalance power creep then so be it. I agree that allowing players 4 LTBs dosen't help the power creep but we have them now. Nothing wrong with it. No need keeping players out of the game to keep things exclusive. IPH is needed and no new players will be able to keep up and help their factions. For a little gold, with the current discount, will help players catchup. My IPH is over 54m right now and thats crap for what the game demands. Now that I can get the older LTBs, I can really play the game.Quote:

But then GREE went and allowed everyone to have 4 of each which is retarded. They should have limited everyone to buying a max of 2 more of each building regardless of how many they already had. That way those of us who have them all and have an IPH advantage have the opportunity to keep it. Now everyone can have my IPH if they spend 2 vaults of gold. Just ridiculous.
Here's the thing, friends and foes, there are no advantages in or to this game.
Gree has all the advantages and leverages, if you value or covet your pixels.
You see, doing that means you'll do, take, or try anything to maintain what you perceive to be valuable.
Play this thing for giggles and grins, otherwise you'll get played, playa.
To some of us, it's just entertainment.Quote:

This is fantastic, thanks GREE!!! Because now I'll be getting a full refund for all the money I spent on this game. Which is unfortunately a LOT.
I hadn't asked for a refund before despite the many game changes, bugs and hackers that probably made it justifiable (to google play). Still I never asked for a refund because I didn't feel it was justified. When you released the Anniversary Centers and AMRs, you made it clear that we had a limited time to buy them. So I, and many other fools like me, spent a lot of money to get them while we could because at the time they were total game-changers. Because you advertised them as limited-time-only buildings at the time, and took our money, and now are making them available again - it'll be a piece of cake to get a full refund. Thank you.
Thank you for trashing my online persona.Quote:

You're free to think whatever you wish about me.
I hope trashing my online persona makes you feel better.
You have a very nice day, and a delightful holiday season.
And you... Get over yourself. If you want to make yourself feel like a "long time, elite player" then spend money to get there. Don't whine because even more players were given a chance to pass you up.Quote:

This is so true on so many levels!!! I remember a few years ago McDonald's released the McRib for a Limited Time Only!!!! Can you believe it? I was so excited that I would be able to get fatter, faster because I spent the money to buy those juicy sandwiches because they were only around for a short time. I remember bragging to all my friends that didn't get a chance to to wrap their lips around that sandwich. I spent whole pack checks getting McRibs. But then..... A few years later.... They re-released them!!! I was so sad when that happened. I didn't feel like a special snow flake anymore because now all my friends can get the McRib too. I was so mad at mcdonalds. I went to their forums and complained up a storm!!! I cried to Ronald saying, you told me these weren't coming back anymore.... He gave me some free coupons so I was happy to share the McRibs with my friends who never had a chance to get them.Quote:

Stop crying you still can build 2 of each and also new player cant build them all cause they don have the land to buy it.

Others they just go HO-hum,
Its a nothing little game is what you say,
I do agree and play it my way.
Yo Bam Bam, I did have to update from 4.4 in order to get in on the LTB deal. That might have already been mentioned. I didn't read every post.
No problems with the update on two ios devices.
Don't know whether I like this development or not. Pros and cons. All I would say is that it was great when I found one of the older LE buildings when raiding and I respected that player as a long time player while I took his money. Now everyone will have them. Bye bye respect.
Remember when it meant something to get to 100k or 1m attack? Well, if recent developments are anything to go by there will be 100m IPH buildings in the near future in any case. So enjoy spending gold now (at 40% off - bargain!). You'll look back in a few months and see you've been ripped off by Greedy yet again.
Well there you go. More for the raiders to take. If they will need to take any. It is what it is.
I do need to get a few of the LTB's up and running tho. I need generate more cash for err...................... land expansion.
Started this game in week 1 to get a gun over in CC. Been playing as a non-gold spending IPH guy for a couple years. Had a good number of LTBs but not all.
I love this. The double upgrade guy, loading up on buildings I learned to be really valuable after the fact, what's not to love. I don't care how much the other guy makes, and the rest get more of my stuff to rob.
Yes, I am an old timer who earned the originals the hard way, and I have zero problem with adding them back. With the 40%b off sale, I actually bought a vault for each device. Gonna make hey while the sun is shining.
hahaha good analogy. But I think you missed my meaning - I'm not mad or sad or complaining. I'm thankful that Gree is making them available again, because I can now get a refund for the $ spent. They clearly advertised the buildings as LT when released. Now that they've made them available again it is false advertising which is against the law in the US, and violates FTC rules.Quote:

No need in asking for all your money back, though I do feel you are justified in most cases.Quote:
