Correct me if I am wrong...

Why would you get a refund when they were released to purchase for in game cash? If you spent money that was a choice you made and did not require you to do so. I have almost all of them and didn't spend a dime. Whoops I meant to say I spent a million dollars, so where is my dang refund?

It seems to me that you have the terms incorrect. As Max Power stated, limited has not defined constraints other than it is a reduction. As they are not always available, they would indeed be limited.

The mickey D's mcRIB was what popped into my head as well fatbodycrhis!

Good luck in your endevor MADCOWDAVE, although I do not agree, I am certain you will win. Remember the lady that sued mickey D's because they served her hot coffee that she then spilled in her lap as she drove her car! Only in AMERICA... for however many years she has left.

What is happening is that you already have 1 new building being constructed. When you try to purchase another building, it displays the "Unknown Error" dialog. Sorry for the inconvenience and we will work on fixing this in future releases

"Limited time" does not mean they won't be around again. It just means they're available for, you guessed it, a limited time. I'm guessing by your post you're american, but you've never seen anything being sold for a limited time? Gree is selling something for a limited time only. I don't recall ever seeing they won't be available to be bought again. Like someone else said, it's just sneaky selling tatics. It's done with so many thing that you buy. Food, cars, seasonal beer, etc etc.

I hope you try getting your money back and are denied from your weak claim. Just look at the companies you're trying to get money back from. Whether it's google or apple, I'm sure they're all guilty of slick advertising. Which isn't illegal.

I just bought 650 Gold so I can purchase some of these buildings, but none of the gold I bought is appearing on my game. Where is the gold at?

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.

Agree with you re max two more buildings, but the new players will never catch up in IPH because they don't have the same output modifiers that we have. My mini will never come close to the same output even if it has four AMRs. Now I want to see gree jack up the prices of the frontline units so that their stupidity is somewhat lessened.

I though it was cool until I bought my 4th rig. Then I thought it was a little overkill. Guess they don't want us running out of cash for frontline

Enjoy the new LTBs. If you thought stat inflation was an issue, just wait.
You will see how that investment in the buildings pays off.

We're screwed.

Quick question.

Those that already have the LTB's can purchase two more of each for a total of four of each LTB.
Ie. You previously have two AMR's. You purchase two more for now a total of four.

For those that don't have previous LTB's, can they purchase four of each? Or will they only be able to purchase two of each?

Thanks

You can buy 4 if you had none

Bit of a slap in the face for those that originally got them, but would you expect anything different from Gree.

Maybe I overlooked if someone has asked this question and received an answer. Will the new buildings continue to be allowed to update after January 12?

There are some details in that case that make it seem more reasonable. She was handed her coffee in the drive thru and the lid popped off as she was receiving it. The coffee was hot enough to cause 3rd degree brurns to her privates. MDs serves coffee this hot to reduce the number of free refills in the dining room. She originally sued only to cover her medical expenses, at the urging of her family.

Restaurants should not serve food product so hot to cause severe bodily injury when trying to use the product for its intended purposes. All in an effort to save money on one of their own policies. This case is often used as an example of frivolous lawsuits, but in knowing the details, it is actually one of the more reasonable ones. Although, in hindsight, it didnt have the intended effect. Mickey Dees still serves their coffee just below the boiling point.....LOL!

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately we only have the ability to set the max number of buildings that can be purchased for everyone. This means everyone can purchase 4 of the limited buildings.

Why are people limited to purchasing only four building of the same type?
I mean you could have set the limit to eight, even 80, why just four?

If someone wanted to buy 100, why not?
Its just a few programming changes, or uncapping the max number.

Four might have made sense 30 odd months ago, but the cat jumped out of the bag, and he's a lion today.
Maybe its time to rethink the building limit, too?

Just wondering if you will consider increasing the sale date deadline of these LTB's since you have now doubled the amount that can be purchased ?
also am waiting to hear if there is going to be a construction worker release.....now is the time to do it otherwise there will be no need of it for the majority of players

I would love a +1 building construction boost. Maybe only 50 to 75 gold though or like 2 billion cash since its not a very useful boost but I do agree its needed.

You should correct your statement CNG.

I cannot purchase 4 buildings. And yes, I do already have all all previously released buildings.

Why not make the ability to purchase these items fair for everyone? If they are re-released, allow everyone to purchase the same amount.

If you counter by saying that it is fair for everyone to have four buildings, then, let me send you a list of ALL the items and boosts I missed out on because I was focussing on my IPH.

Wouldn't it be fair to make all that I missed back available to me now?

Happy Holidays!

All that was needed was a Color change and slight name change like" Artic Mining Rig 2.0" there would have been a lot less issues.

Also I must say I missed the "Deadly Bridge Jumper" unit early on could it also return for say 50 gold along with all the other bonus units?

The Deadly Bridge Jumper was in a LTQ, so why should it be released for any reason. You had to earn that unit.

You had to earn these buildings too. Gree is slowly pissing away my hard work over the past 3 years. That's why I will never spend real money on this game and will never play another Gree title again. Thanks Gree for sucking, you have saved me a bunch of money.

If LTBs can be rereleased to help those that missed them why not LTQs to help those that missed them.
I know a lot of players that started after this units and wished they could have had a chance to get it. Odds are more player want it then the AMR. it took me more time to earn my Each of the first 3. LTBs then the LTQ took to get the DBJ.
Plus if new player s need the old LTBs to catch up to the old players then why wouldn't they need the LTQ bonus units also? Why should my health regen be better if its not right for my IPH to be better?

As in Limited Time Quest you mean ? How does this differ from Limited Time Building?

The LTQs had units in them that gave -20% health regen. One had 2 of these units. DBJ was one of them.
LtQ had a serries of missions with random rewards. Mission was attack 1 barracks then 2 pvp wins then a map mission.
Other games repeat LTQs and the prizes to give new players a chance at them. Since we have brought back the LTBs to help players that missed them why not the old LTQs also?
It was possibly the best (non faction)event gree has done. New players ( under 18 months or so) would love it and the rewards.

I was being facetious. I was trying to point out the just because it has Limited in the title does not mean that GREE can't re-run the LTQ now that they have re-released the ' limited ' buildings.

Saw you joined oct 2014,
I agree with no reason they can't rerun them. I know a lot of people they told they couldn't help when a LTB was deleted on there base because they were out of the build menu options for support and no way to open them back up to rebuild.

I joined the forum in Oct 2014 not the game.

In that case, how about all those crate events that I only got to 9/10 after spending lots of gold? Can I now have the 10/10 unit?

Ok let's all get this straight now. If you spent real money on this game, that's YOUR fault not anybody else's. You should be mad at yourself. Plus all this is "MY" "MINE" no it's not yours... The game, buildings, or anything game related... It's gree, so suck it all. It all can be taken away from you at any moment gree wants to take it. So any money you put towards their game, you're not a very smart thinker. I've spent zero on this game. Been here since the beginning of the game. So anything I don't agree with or anything that's taking from me, I can't be mad at. So stop b****ing!

I've been around for a bit and am enjoying the idea of these buildings being back again to purchase. I was a little miffed that some cost gold to get, but that's GREE. And it's our choice and fault if we buy them for gold.
The only LTB I missed out on (and I actually got one but then sold it for the italian building) was the arctic rig.. I kicked myself for a long time after I sold it because it actually made good money. Now I will have them all plus a few extras as I have plenty of land to build on since I build land all the time and lots of empty space.
Oh, and I didn't spend a dime on any of the LTB's until now... yes, I got tempted to have 4 of a couple of the buildings... so I will have them even if it puts a few dollars in GREE's pockets. I'm not opposed to spending a little... first time spending on this game in over a year.
Anyway, peeps, enjoy getting what you can get, some of us will keep our IPH high by buying more LTB's and upgrading them.
Next goal: $200mil IPH... yes, I'm not as high as some, but I'm higher than most I do believe.

hi ive not read a lot of pages just too tired and stressed. imo making them gold and at a time when gold sales is on and during a holiday period just shows its only about greed and money.

just another way to try make ppl think oh its limited time.. i missed those before.. oh its only a vault and i can hv them all.

its a sucker hit making ppl think they hv a chance just like the box games etc buy even a little gold and u can get this get that and ur hooked.

my game is low i play for real...i missed most of these buildings before... not all for money reasons some i just did not want on my base for various reasons... but to make the naff ones cash and the highest ones like amr gold just is unfair on most ppl in the entire game except those ppl rich enough for gold to buy virtual nothing or those who may believe it will help them in mws sinking ship.

as much as id like a couple amr... i like a burger fries and shoes on my feet a lot more.

now we know there is nothing limited and all the ltqs are just a cartoon with meaningless numbers on it which some ppl do buy and should complain as u never ever have gotten what u paid for... fact...

but now we know theres no panic anymore u dont hv to buy everything u dont need everything...

anyday the updates will change and units are screwed up and stats go down and hey this guy owns a watch and ur 20 vaults gold cant beat that.

so play for fun play in your time zones when u feel like it...

you cant ever win on a never ending game even if u had a million dollars to buy gold... you cant win.

as every week a cartoon comes out and new updates that screw ur 3 years of stats.

next update the building is a cafe.. if u dont feed all ur cartoon soldiers they leave to ur rivals base where he just opened a McDonotbuygolds.

hv fun bye

Brilliant post filled with nuggets of wisdom.
I especially liked the burgers, fries, and shoes comment.
The reference to McDonotbuygold was also clever and pithy.

I haven't posted on this forum in a long time...

Gree doesn't seem to realise that many of us keep playing this game simply because we've "invested" so much time into getting an advantage over other players. I spent thousands of hours getting all of the previous LTB's, and while others have spent money getting much stronger, it mostly required time, patience and a little bit of strategic planning to build a high IPH.

Now that high IPH is available for gold I feel a bit embarassed that I wasted so much time painstakingly growing mine.

Thank you Gree for making my departure from this game so easy.

Later.

G.O.

I have been playing for over 2 years. Negligible gold purchase till date. My stats are not that great, people beat me up and then again abuse me if I beat them back. I don't quite care and it doesn't make me run up and down to grow stronger than the next guy in my rivals list.
GREE goofs up often. Sometimes they really screw us. Sometimes they try to be nice and still we think they screwed us because we are suspicious that GREE is trying to make money. (Which btw is its purpose of existence).
Despite all the possible complaints, I continue to play the game a few times a day whenever time permits.
It is because I get pleasure in growing my base consistently. I don't mind if my peers grow bigger in stats. I don't mind if a new player gets an undue advantage. But I do enjoy logging in once a while and catching up with the guys I have been playing with since the factions began.

The point is that some of us don't play the game because we invested time or money Into it and we are not worried that our assets are being devalued by GREE. Our real money is safely invested into assets which give us real returns and our time has been well Spent working hard to earn that money.

We are immune to GREE shenanigans.

Good bye Grand Overlord. Hope you find a better game to invest into. Good luck.:)

Hey Gree,

When you released the news that we would be able to buy the LE buildings that many of us missed out on, I thought it was pretty cool.

Then I realized you had to purchase gold in order to buy the buildings. That was the greed in Gree coming out but I figured I would go ahead and buy 650 gold since it was 40% off and buy the buildings that I missed out on.

So, several days ago, that's exactly what I did. I spent $29.99 on 650 gold. You guys took my $29.00, but guess what?

I NEVER GOT MY GOLD!!!!!!!

You guys stole $29.00 from me and I want it back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check if what jetwit did works:

My biggest objection to the reissue of the LTBs is that I've just finished painstakingly installing every defence building for no reason at all, and now I need the space so I'll have to delete them again. First world problems...

Having 4 buildings sounds cool but does create some issues. Overly I like it and am taking advantage of it. Here are my concerns:

It seriously inflates iph and de-values existing in game cash. I can only guess how much new fl units are going to cost after this.

It reduces gap between long time players and mid-life players. However it will greatly increase gap for new players who join the day after these ltb are off the market. Will be near impossible for them to catch up their iph.

Bases are already overrun and space is limited. There is little creativity going into design of bases anymore. It's all about trying cram as many buildings into the limited space as possible.

Future: would really like to see base design expanded so players can actually build a nice looking base and we could have events tied to our bases.

I hope we can start getting 4 buildings at least every cycle! That would be sweet.
