We seem to be stuck in 'Groundhog's day' between 4 main events. I thought it might be helpful for players to suggest changes (keep it clean) that would improve the game and/or cut down on some of the repetition. Our team liked the battle match up bonus. Some did well out of the recent changes to the equipment. Others liked the improved LTQ prizes and Ultimate level. These little changes, go towards improving interest in playing the game, noting everyone will like different features.
- I have 3 profiles. For my old girl who has a hood full of buildings/iph I would like the ability to clear my hood and rebuild it and new buildings to purchase from the store (game cash). One of my team would like a helicopter view of his hood so he can see it all in one piece.
- In the old days we used to play individual goals and do the maps and build hoods and buy weapons and robbed to get more cash and had fights for fun. The need to manage XP/level-attack ratio closed a lot of that out (as well as LTQ's). It would be good to see more incentive to do some of these things while managing XP.
- For my other two profiles, a quicker way of building up enough IPH to play SA? It's no good having deploys when you don't have the cash to buy decent weapons and the event goes on for days. The LTB's are also good but you need the cash to firstly buy them and then have little hope of upgrading them.
- We don't expect to win everything every time but if we have to put so much time and effort into the Epic Boss challenge it was nice to be able to finish 100 with a decent prize. The changes made to that event in particular seem to have been a disincentive. It's such a grind, particularly for 7 days, it's hard to motivate people to play it. Could you revisit the prize for 100 individual and the length of the event?
- I know Raid Boss is being reviewed currently. To me there are 3 parts to that - the Easy, Normal, Elite final prizes, the loot you earn along the way and the individual loot chain. I must say that loot chain is the piece I enjoy the most - scavenger hunt. I don't get it every time (or expect to) but I do get it quite often. The recent change to the 100 drop rate was just painful. It turned my favourite event into one that I wouldn't bother with. I don't think that's how to design a game that's meant to be fun so I hope you consider that as you make further changes.
- It would be nice to have some individual events so those that don't want to play all the time don't feel the pressure of the syndicate to participate on a daily basis. The old PVP events were good fun. There seems to be lots of requests to have them back..
- What I would REALLY love is to know who from my team is actually 'active', like Facebook. Trying to get anyone to do a roll call is useless and we still have some that remain on the 'in-game' forum only. The group chat feature in SA is good. Maybe that can be further developed? In game time zone feature would also be handy
- Alternate Leader position who could build walls etc if the Leader lost their phone and couldn't play.
- Be good to be able to boot someone when you need to do it and not have to wait for a week for the syndicate to unlock.
- Would also be good to see raw stats given they count for a lot of events.
- I would also love the in-game Forum to be split into two screens. One for system messages about donations and another for chat.
- It would be nice to be able to click on your team members and visit their hoods
- not sure what the problem is with the free gold videos but we miss those too
Overall it's good to find something to do on the game when you feel like playing but it's seriously becoming a second job and with the repetition not a fun one at that. There needs to be some balance brought back to it.
Thought it might be worth a try and hopefully if there was interest in a few items that wouldn't be too hard to program it would be worth pursuing. We are Top 250 team so not sure if the game looks any better from up the top where the money is ...
I know Gree did something like this quite a while back and some of the things that were suggested back then have since been put in place like being able to sort the Inventory so fingers crossed.
