[Suggestions] Improvements for the game
Let's use this thread to suggest some improvement that may make the game better. Here are mine: Graphics: - Changing weather : Rain, Snow, Fog, Sun... - More cars in the roads. - Citizens in the streets ! - Moving clouds shadows. - Birds, Fish... Animals ! - More buildings models. - Possibility to change the terrain we build our city on. Having different styles: Desert, Forest etc. If non coastal the port will be replaced by an airport with a cargo airplane or a train station. Gameplay: - Possibility to move the roads. It costs a lot to upgrade them, bulldoze isn't a good solution. - Possibility of pausing the game in order to move buildings. When I want to change the layout of the city, if I move temporarily a building in a place that isn't covered by services, the happiness of the citizens quickly drops. Pausing the game will allow us to have enough time to change the layout of the city without being preoccupied of the consequences of moving the buildings. - Ability to zoom out further. - Ability to plant some trees or add a lake just for fun, without incidences on the happiness of the citizens, just for the beauty of the city. - Ability to send a friend request when visiting a player's city. - Possibility to invite a friend to play the game via Facebook. - Leaderboards with the most populated city, the richest city... - Ability to giva a grade for the beauty of the cities and have a leaderboard. - Ability to buy directly from the Trade HQ without visiting the player's city. - Ability to start a new city from scratch. - Upgrading factories directly without the need to bulldoze them. - Same thing for parks and services. - Taxes don't provide enough money to support the growth of city and the need of the citizens. It costs a lot to build services. Same thing for the trade, it is not sufficient to make enough money. We need to have another source of income or may be you should increase the income from the taxes. If you have more suggestions, do not hesitate to post in this thread.
Global Trade Market...questions...concerns...complants!!!
There are SO MANY different posts about the SAME issue, I decided to merger them together. Hopefully the development team will see this thread and make changes to the global trading market! And with all the posts being in one place make it easier on EA team to find them all.WAR CHEATS! HELP
Hi guys! This situation are really critical now! A lot of clubs are unhappy because of cheats in war. For example our club had previous war. And our enemy was cheats. 1. They made more energy in start. there were 11 energy items. But enemy made 8 magnets!!! it is 16 energy. Im not bad in math. And it is so unrespecting!!!! 2. Also they used catastrophe - magnetism in 80-90% of all shots. How did they get do a lot of hydrants????We are not bad club! We are working hard and we are preparing for war very good!!! But we can't keep so a lot!!! They cloned it by programms. Of course they won war. It was not surprisingly...... Now we have another war. And what do you think?? They are also cheats)))) They have 10 level of catastrophe. I would believe that it is honest.. but they don't shot. And other friendly club told the same. They are not so active as our club. But they have so high levels))) Don't cheat us!!!! Why do EA command not make something with it??? Block? Ban? Sent to another server. And they would play and have war with each other!! It would be fair! I understand that I must write to support with screenshots and tell them all. We did it during previous war. And we still do not get answer. I guess so I must to write now again about new club also??? But who will return for us all that we lost??? Answer me! Please!!! What we need to do??? Can EA command find all cheats and do something finally???Global Trade HQ changes

No to shield buster
I write this as a loyal Sims buildit player. Spend countless hours and real dollars. Sims does not care about us. We give them our time and money. And they slap us in the face, while forcing us to comply with unwanted and unfair changed to the Sims war game play. Shield Buster's is harrasment. It's hard enough to maintain a team of international teammates. We rely on being shielded. But now shield Buster's erases a crucial link to what keeps the game fair and playable. Please end shield Buster's or please revise the amount of times it can be out into play. We are loyal players. Work hard to earn war money and war items. It is unfair to think you are in the running for a win, exhausting all your team's resources, only to be busted while away and under shield. This Is Harrasment.FAQ about the Global Trade HQ
Greetings Mayors, Global Trade HQ has been a very popular feature in SimCity BuildIt. Every day over 8 million transactions take place, meaning that it is busier than the New York Stock Exchange! The game team wanted to answer some of the most frequently asked questions we see from Mayors in regards to the Global Trade HQ. Why is there no search filter in the Global Trade HQ? Global Trade HQ works in a way that every item sold is created by another player. Certain items have a higher demand than others, and generally the high demand items will sell a lot quicker than the low demand ones. If we added a feature that would enable players to search for a specific item type, it would make the high demand items sell incredibly fast. This would then result in the high demanding items completely disappearing from the market, and almost no one would find the type of items that they need. We strive to make the Global Trade HQ a balanced and fair place, regardless of your connection, device, or location. Adding a search of filter functionality would make it highly unfair for those who are not able to quickly grab each new item that is put up for sale. Any kind of feature that favors the few at the expense of the majority will lead to an unequal experience, considering that over 8 million transactions are made on the Global Trade HQ every day! Why is there no variety in the Global Trade HQ? It all works based on the laws of Supply and Demand. Each item placed in the Global Market is created by another player. Certain items sell more than others, causing the overall share of particular items to be higher for items that have a high supply. Due to his, slower selling items placed in the market will make it look like it is more difficult to find the higher selling ones, while the higher selling items will sell faster. The Global Trade HQ randomly picks a selection of items from the total available pool of items, and sometimes the system will pick a selection of items that have been on sale for a longer time. We strive to improve the overall experience of the Global Trade HQ step by step with great care, as small tweaks can have considerable impact on millions of Mayors every day. Why can’t we buy things from the Global Trade HQ directly instead of having to travel to the seller’s city? The Global Trade HQ works like an advertisement catalogue for each player. Mayors can choose to either advertise particular items or sell them without advertising it. If the Mayor decides to advertise an item, it will be displayed in the Global Trade HQ in order to attract buyers to browse through the seller’s catalogue, and it is also a way for Mayors to showcase their cities. In addition to enabling players to buy and sell items to other players around the world, we wanted the experience in itself to be fun and highly visual so that players could visit, admire, and learn from looking at the layout of other Mayor’s cities! Are you taking player feedback into account when developing new content and updates for the game? Yes, we do. Each and every member of the team cares greatly about making SimCity BuildIt the best possible experience for all of our players. Having spent years working hard to make it the best city builder game for mobile devices, we constantly read the feedback coming in on Facebook, Twitter, the forums, reddit, and elsewhere on the internet. We believe in putting players first, and we also actively play the game every day in the office and during our free time, and encounter the same experiences as other Mayors out there. SimCity BuildIt was made by a passionate team of people who not only have a common goal, but also share a passion for great games. The team at EA tracktwenty work continuously to tweak the market in order to make it a more enjoyable experience, and we thank you for your support!Design Challenges Update - We Want Your Feedback

60002.1006.999 - My City is Gone!
I have submitted a ticket regarding this issue, with no response from EA. Specifically, I have a 60002.1006.999 error when trying to login to my city. While in the middle of game play, I was given a notice to “refresh from server” from my city. Prior to this, normal actions from the global market took several seconds (i.e. purchasing items with simoleons). The timing was the absolute worst… I was in the final hours of a close war with my club (which we apparently lost, in part because of this), I cannot complete CoM objectives (which I paid dearly for, along with Vu passes), many many items are rotting in my depot to be taken by Daniel, etc., etc. I’ve removed the application from my iPad, re-installed it, went through the tutorial and tried to rejoin via the Facebook connection (what EA hounds us to do to “backup our city”) with no luck… three times. I have thousands of hours (and probably dollars too!) invested into my city. HELP!! Cheers and Thank you
