I hate the developers. I've always had a bottom of the barrel opinion of them, but now I straight have zero care for them. It's taking a lot for me to just be polite.
I deleted my second city and my feeder today. Before seasonal currency, managing multiple cities wasn't that hard. But now there is nothing but currencies to convert or collect to redeem. But it's slowly been wearing me down (I even said earlier this that seasonal currency will tire players out and cause them to leave). And it's been slowly happening.
But then the services 2.0 bull s**t happened. Initially I was in favor of it because I thought it would actually save on space utilization, but that was a big no. I would have otherwise just dealt with the changes but..
THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE WORST ROLLOUT OF ANYTHING TECH RELATED I'VE EVER SEEN.
I have zero confidence in the developers abilities. Every single app update they release has some serious bug issue that takes weeks to fix. The saddest part of this all, the only means to report issues it seems is through this forum and the support here on the forum is absolute garbage. I don't think there is a single competent person around who can help sooth things over while the service upgrade rollout is complete. I hate to say it, but I don't think there is a "roll back" option. I think the game is stuck with the cess pool that has been created.
The only city of mine that has the upgrades currently is a brand new city I literally just started a week or so ago to act as another feeder but I'm going to delete that one too. The service upgrades has even made starting a new city incredibly cumbersome, and I cannot see many "new players" sticking around because it is just now a complete mountain to climb. Before I got new cities to level 18 within a matter of days.
Great job EA, you pushed me to focus more on my mental health and less on the design of my cities. I'm gonna enjoy all the time I'm getting back.
