Suggestions for SimCity Buildit
List of suggestions for SimCity -- Don't have advertising be default option when selling -- Don't boot players out of a depot if the item they try to buy has been sold -- Allow players to enter the mayor's club from any club member city -- Don't allow floating produced items to be collecting by a simple touch. It's too easy to try to scroll across your city and accidentally pick up a canister or other produced item you don't want to pick up. Sometimes you want to enter a factory without collecting. -- Either allow access to view your storage inventory from any screen, or when shopping include a way to see how many of an item you already have in storage. -- Allow access to your club member list via the chat screen from any city. Requiring we return home every time to see a club city roster is not player friendly. -- when doing epic building projects, include the scroll arrows to allow easier access from one task to another. -- Restrict the number of items Daniel will buy from you in a week so the global market isn't so saturated with cheeseburgers no one needs. -- Make the view of a depot the same for both the purchaser and the seller. -- Include a "collect all neosimoleons" option. -- During wartime include a damage and energy indicator / bar on your home city screen. -- Allow an option to place an item for sale in your depot for either club members only, or a specific club member. -- Allow an option to skip past disaster videos. -- When looking at a residence, always indicate whether it is a basic, Parisian, London, or Tokyo residence, and what level of development it is at. -- Include some sort of indicator of online status (online now or last online time) for club members. --When clicking and holding on a residence to get the "residential buildings" screen, have it give more detailed info. How many of each type of residence. How many of each level of epic building. -- Fix the issue where the game crashes when you try to access your depot -- Allow an option to end an epic building early. Sometimes I just want to hit silver and seeing all the task icons is annoying. -- Put a timer on the maxis manor so you know when your next VU items will be available. -- Put a timestamp on war log attacks like comments in chat have (10 min ago etc) -- Allow us to see what the next VU disaster requires even if current zones need repair -- Allow VU disaster requirements to be reset like residential upgrade requirements can be -- Incorporate a more detailed war log showing all outgoing and incoming attacks for the whole war
Game freezing
I have had a problem with the game freezing constantly for the past four months or longer. Customer support (frankly a joke) advise me that I am the only person with this issue???? I get the same old questions and suggestions on how to fix this issue, by closing down/deleting other apps, restarting phone and WiFi etc etc. this used to be a fun relaxing game, now I just get so frustrated and angry. Is anyone else having this problem to?? EA IF YOU ARE READING THIS, EMPLOY SOMEONE WHO CAN REALLY DO THEIR JOB AND FIX IT ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!
Who Is Our Liaison To The Developers?
Hello, I have noticed that the mods who normally would (occasionally) appear in the forum have not been active in 30 days. Who is currently our connection to the developers? Please identify yourselves so we know who to direct our comments to. Many mayors are reporting bugs/glitches here in the forum, but who is listening and sending these reports to the team who can fix it? Has the forum been abandoned? We need some clarification on what is happening? Is there a plan to close this game?So many things wrong with this company......
There are so many issues with EA and their digital gaming platforms to talk about that it seems senseless to post, but here goes: First and foremost EA does not listen to the people that support these digital games. It almost seems like they are allergic to listening. There is no quality control on anything they push out to the public, bug ridden apps. They are an authoritarian run company: it's my way or the highway Glitches are pre-programmed in to frustrate the end user, the support staff will tell you: "the games are supposed to get harder as you make progress". While we agree to this somewhat, making a game harder and the impossible are two separate avenues. This company is very greedy: Cash grabs are persistent in every way. What ever happened to pay once and the game would run forever? Advertisements are more common than playing the games. While ALL the app developers today seem to have some of these issues, EA has led the way. It is no wonder that they won: "the worst company in America to do business with" several years in a row. Why anyone would spend money on their games is very questionable. The fun of playing a digital game has now been replaced with frustration and no fix is on the horizon.Error code 17 constantly displayed trying to access anything
As of 2 weeks ago I have constantly been getting this error code 17 when I access train services, tasks or other city's. I have looked up and others say it's a network response error. It's not my phone as everything else is working fine. And it also suggests the server side unable to cope with the volume of connections so as I can't fix the server it's up to EA to fix otherwise the game is pointless playing any more.Critical Bug Report: Unclosable Ads & UI Thread Conflicts
Hi EA_Hux Thank you and the team for quickly resolving the recent "Missing Content" loading loop! Since the dev team is currently monitoring the game's stability closely, I want to bring a massive, ongoing issue directly to your attention: the unclosable ad loops. It took me an entire day just to complete a daily task requiring me to watch 2 ads because practically every ad freezes the game. I have been monitoring this bug at the Android system level and made some technical observations that will hopefully help the QA team pinpoint the /exact problem: 1. Dead Endpoints & Unresponsive 'X' Buttons: The close button ('X') appears at the end of the ad, but it is completely dead. I accidentally tapped the screen during one of these broken ads and received a "website is currently unavailable" error. This implies the ads are linked to dead endpoints, which causes the underlying script to crash and breaks the close button's functionality. 2. The Foreground Process Conflict (Gaming Hub Discovery) :I monitored my tablet's "Gaming Hub" overlay, which only stays active when the game is running as the primary foreground app. Working ads: The Gaming Hub becomes inactive. The game successfully pushes itself to the background and hands the ad to a separate container. Broken ads: The Gaming Hub remains completely active. The game never yields to the background. The broken ad forces itself to run directly inside the main game thread. This UI-layer conflict explains why the click-listener for the 'X' button is entirely blocked by the active game environment. 3. Ad-Stitching Corruption: Often, two ads are stitched together. If a broken ad plays first, it completely corrupts the video-player container. Even if the second ad normally has a working close button, it becomes unclosable because it inherits the broken container from the first ad. 4. Permanently Inactive In-Game Billboards: Additionally, the in-game ad billboards have been completely and permanently inactive for quite some time now. This indicates that the ad-delivery system isn't just crashing temporarily after a bad ad, but is suffering from a long-standing, fundamental connection issue within the game itself. Could you please forward these specific system-level observations to the development team? This bug is severely impacting the core gameplay loop for many players right now. Thank you for your support!Train Railway Glitch
In Cactus Canyon, my railways seem to be bugged. Anytime I connect the rails I build to the rail on the outside of the city, they disappear once I exit the game or leave to another region. This does not happen to any other region but Cactus Canyon. Just want to bring awareness. It’s annoying.
Missing Sim Cash external Game Rewards
I purchased the hero “Mars” to gain double Sim Cash rewards but the reward has not been released to Sim City. I also purchased the extra build queue prior and I received that reward straight away. Anyone else experience this? I can’t report this on the app because it crashes every sentence. Will get my rewards at all? Or was the Sim offer a waste of time and money? Because it took a lot of time to level up on the other game, all to not get my rewards.Shorting rail simoleons
Half of my trains award one less rail simoleon than they indicate when I load them. If I am supposed to receive 56 according to the calculator at the bottom of the screen, the number turns to 55 when I dispatch, and only 55 get added to my total. This is pretty bad programming/math, especially when the amount earned is already less than half of the passenger count. For an arbitrary system, the least you can do is give as many rail simoleons as passengers, with higher rewards for more advanced cars.SimCityBuildit 284 and other bugs
For most of this year, much worsened after Services 2.0 and Trains the graphics load on my iPad has caused oodles of daily crashes From what I can see, EA has not addressed this. They probably are making it worse with the exponential increase in sales pitches for players’ money. Apple is aware but appears to be suppressing poor ratings and complaints Can anyone give me a reason to not quit the game I had enjoyed for a decade?
