EA Staff (Retired)Design challenge: great concept, problems in execution.
1. Overlap with CoM which others have already covered.
2. Removing specialization buildings from existing areas, building a new area temporarily, then reconstructing the original areas later is too much effort. Either we need blueprints such that we can save and reload, or perhaps design challenges could access everything we own regardless of current use.
3. New content doesn’t make up for failed older content. Hackers ruin the game in general. Until that issue is resolved I can’t be bothered much with more Simcity or spending.
I’ll be submitting variants of the attached every time. It scored 2.5, which for 20 mins effort and a chuckle is fine.
GET STUFFED HACKERS
I think everyone scored a 2.5...
Unfortunately, in the absence of clear information about the assessment system, one can only fantasize ...
2.5 means no one liked your design compared to the other in the pair.
The minimum score is 2.5. Maximum 5.
Does this mean there were 5 impressions? After all, there are no ratings of 2.6 or 3.2? )) Or does 2.5 points mean that no one has seen the design at all?
I have submitted 1 design, but I can rate 5 pairs of others up to 3 times. That is 10, 20 or 30 designs. Not bad. (But the choice of two options destroys the very meaning ..).
The actual number of views from the unique design is unknown. Let it be at least 5.
Then:
Rating = 5 x (the sum of all grades) / (number of grades)
*(grade = 0.5 or 1)
Examples for 10 views:
5 x (0.5 + 0.5 + 1 + 1 + 1 +1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) / 10 = 4.5
5 x (0.5 + 1+ 1 + 1 + 1 +1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) / 10 = 4.75
5 x (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) / 10 = 5
Assuming rounding has occurred, at least 9 positive votes out of 10 are required to achieve a 5-star rating.
Thank you for implementing the City Design Challenge. I'm happy to be able to play too.
However, the improvements proposed in Early Access have not been fixed.
① Do not add XP. Or if you want to add it, please store the house. Why can't I check the city level from the challenge screen? If you want to add XP, please display the city level on the design screen.
② Please remove it from the assignment of the contest. Or adjust the timing.
After proposing the design, I received the assignment of "2,500 points to submit the design". Is this achievable within the period of the mayoral contest? The duration of the challenge is fixed, so make sure the assignments appear when they are achievable.
③ When I actually played it, I felt that the screenshot of the limited area was a good idea. This is because the production area is large and you can see only the important parts of the design.
④ Please be able to check the designs made in the past.
⑤ The voting system is not appropriate. Those who just cleared the minimum requirements and those who designed it over an hour were the same ☆ 2.5. I feel
that it is necessary to disclose how many times my design was displayed in the votes and how many votes were received.
I think playing in this state is a waste of time and effort. This new mode is a good idea, so please improve it so that you can enjoy playing it.
