What admins could actually do... |

I had a few beers and now I am back home. This Is the last article I am posting in the game. It’s not worth to put my time and attention into this anymore.

When I saw the new update originally, I thought about we make a new boycott. But again I realized something, that I mentioned before – admins revoke some changes to calm us down, just so they can put something harsher in the future.

This game is not developed with a sight in the future. It is developed by piece, to live day for day. I am not even sure whether money are the problem anymore. It’s more like lack of thoughts put in the changes for the lulz.

For my last article, I would like to mention some things you admins could do, instead of offering radical changes from today for tomorrow – the failed medal change, the org taxes, now the production change of formula.

1. How actual production formulas should’ve been changed.

Before touching the finished product performance, you could use another lever that was never going to put so much tension on players – raw consumption. You could always play with the formula of raw consumption – to make some raws more needed, to make some raws less needed. This would require us players to maybe make another raw comp sometimes, to destroy it later, but never hit us with hundreds and thousands of gold at the same time. This would not just prevent a few big raw crashes that happened in the game, but also could focus demand and production from one industry to the other. Still having thousands of players drain out 10-20 additional gold once a few weeks would help.

2. Altering taxes and involving new ones

I proposed this already before, when you wanted to change medals, but you could’ve added or change taxes to drain a bit of cc and gold daily.

You could’ve added tax on newspaper donations, you could’ve added tax on making adrenalines, you could add some tax on work outs. Most importantly you could remove that stupid tax on buildings and upgrades. The whole concept of paying to the game to build companies cites that this gold should go out of the game, not even a part of it should go back to players.

You could even add some small percent of tax on MM for each transaction, which was not going to be noticeable for people, but because of volumes of trade would be significant drain of gold.

Something weird but very effective just came onto my mind. You tie companies to a region in a country – not related to bonuses, but environment. The more production happens in one region, the more it’s environmental rank will decreas. Once it reaches certain level, the bonus level of the country would go down a bit. To solve this, the government should pay with gold to fix the situation.

3. New implementations

I wouldn’t go into much details, because the possibilities are countless, but I will give you a few really easy ones:

1. You could even out the adrenaline kit consumption by making all qualities of adrenalines to take 1000 food each. In addition to the tax above, the effect would be great.

2. You could finally create some additional strategic building to consume weapons to create bombs or shits. You already done it once, but because of few players, you backed off from this plan.

3. You could make use of the infamous AKs, Panzers and Falcons, by letting periodically players to exchange their products for some of those – of course in ration that would suit your needs. Some people would do it, some would not. In any case you would not lose anything other than an hour to code the function.

3. ORGs

You should’ve never implemented orgs – you just should’ve allowed for people to buy more workers with gold from the store, which was best for the average players and you the admins. In that implementation, the only option for the orgs to be sustainable for you is to put 100% tax or to put cap of total workers one org can produce. Both are too radical and not an option. Removing the orgs in whole is not an option as well, without refund of gold, which is contrary to the drain of gold you want to do.

I can continue to write for days, like I used to do before, but that will be no more. I just want to say that this is your last, last, last chance to start developing the game like you should, or we will all just leave.

@islandwoodsie +1 We write to tell admins that crates are ruining the raws market, and what do they do? Reduce the mines production that we worked so hard to build.
