Go on, there's no need to hold anything back. I can take it, I promise I won't cry. Good on you for being a half-full glass kinda person, but do you really feel it helps in this situation? In fact, whilst you might be the perfect customer because you always seem to respond in a positive way to a change/introduction of a new feature, this doesn't really help here. We should all take a time to applaud you for admitting which job position you wouldn't excel in, but in fact, despite Kano probably appreciating you standing up for them, the reality is that they or any other game developer would never hire you as a beta tester. 'Hey what do you think about us deleting every feature in LCN bar doing and assisting jobs?'. 'Sweet, I can concentrate on doing job help then. A huuuuuuge plus to Kano for this move. Can you also change characters into a Hello Kitty theme? That would be sooooo awesome.'
You really think we all come on here to moan just for the sake of it? Not at all. Funny you had to cry about it on the council forum too. Thing is, we all would like this game to be as popular as it was before. After all, most have spent loads, and it's a nice hobby to have when you'e taking a break from the hectic real life. What you fail to see is that so far it has been 99,9% negative reviews from the LCN Community on this feature. The defense consists of one player that by his own words quit LCN several years ago and Miss Happy-Go-Lucky that at best is a part-timer on the relevant platform. But of course, that 99,9% is just a bunch of moaners.
Anyway, over to this feature. I noticed Kano made some tweaks so I decided to join a few to see what the fuzz was all about. And from that experience it is clear that:
Plus:
a) Lower level players can get GF items (sometimes also the 25 GF ones) by ease and they can level very fast without spending on refills. So far so good.
Negative:
a) Tiers: On FB the set tiers is a joke. There's way too many available on the top tier, but only a handful at the lowest two. Increase the number of top-tier players significantly or change it to something like 0-2000, 2000-4000 and 4000+. And while you're at it, increase the number of top players that can participate from 10 to 20. Only alts and part-timers are in the lowest tier on FB, unless you have one or two that just started playing.
b) The healing: 25 energy for healing is way too much. How about making the bosses all stam, since most have higher stam than energy?
c) It's extremely tiresome to hit a boss. Not that important I guess but I thought it was worth a mention.
d) And last, but not least, there's no way this boss CAN BE KILLED WITHOUT SOMEONE SPENDING LOADS. Sorry, my caps lock got stuck there for a second. Atleast in BA people could do very well without spending, but you clearly set up this feature to lure out the big spenders. The problem is that these spenders doesn't find it worthwhile or get too tired of having to save bosses by doing loads of refills and we will end up with the majority of bosses unfinished. This feature, as opposed to calendars and BA where your Average Joe can finish/do well without spending, is nothing but an attempt to lure loads and loads of cash from the players. You really can't do well as a team in this feature if none of the team members spend on refills.
