EA Staff (Retired)Got 3.5 stars.
Only saw notification once, when the voting started.
And again error:
DC finished and it is not known when it will start again.
New COM at the very beginning - design task 2400.
I have to ignore him.
Design this time around scored 3.5 only, I've seen worce scoring 4 during voting. Anyway, those who seen it and voted it in thank you. The winning design wasn't exactly a perfect design imo, but anyway I discussed this poor voting system in the past in several previous posts...
To get the final prize really depends on superb luck, that is not fair to people who pay for your designer cash , so I come up with these solutions to get better designs and make it more fair:
- Remove blueprint reward on voting results, replace them with golden keys. E.g. 0.5 points = 1 key in stead of the current 50 blueprints. For 5.0 score you can reward 5 diamond keys.
- Add MUCH more (mandatory) requirements to gain blueprints and improve the designs being entered for voting
- Stiffen the jobs a bit. 3k population is really easy to get over 3 days, even if you are beginner - start at 5k at least
- One I feel needs to be absolutely mandatory : 100% happiness
- Once you completed and entered all 4 designs and completed all the (mandatory) job requirements you are eligible for all prizes. It doesn't matter how much your design scored because you would have received golden keys for your best efforts and the designs we get to see will be improved a lot. This will be fair to everyone who compete, and be value for the players who paid €28 for the designer cash.
I haven't participated in the design challenge to avoid adding XP.
I hope XP will not be added to this temporary city creation.
That said, I enjoy voting to see many beautiful cities. Especially in the "city center", I felt that there were many high-level designs.
However, I saw many designs whose evaluations did not match. The design under construction was 3.5, and at the same time, the beautiful design was 3.5.
I would like to participate again when XP addition, assignment problems, and voting problems are improved.
Me and 1 another teammate got 3.5 and we both got 1 pop up. I missed the beginning of the vote but I still got the pop up.
2 teammates got 3.0 they didn’t get the pop up at all.
The base line was 3.0 (the first 2 rounds when most of players only got 2.5, that time the baseline was 2.5...?) and people who shown for the selection are either +0.5 or -0.5...?
Not sure how the notification works but seems there are designs that never be shown in stage, for those who got 3.0 stars and didn’t get the notification.
I hope we can see how many our design are shown in stage and how many votes we got, not just the stars.
Also it’s disappointing that we can’t see the past rounds result. Really hope they add the galley for the past designs!
I really like those castle collections and enjoy seeing variety of designs. Only complain is the voting, the past design gallery, and the CoM task. Unlike wars, both CoM and DC is fixed schedule they better adjust the timing so we get the DC task at the right time. It’s just silly to get the DC task when we don’t even have the challenge.
Western Challenge is up...
Imagine it without all the pesty icons and clutter... (Yes EA, we still don't have a way to save our designs 😮). Those dirt roads really put you back in the 1800's 🙂
Some of the eyecandy came from a western themed season way back, so I decided to use them to build an old Western Town around a Cattle Rance, ajacent to the city in the background. Hope you get to see it in the game!
Something wrong with the voting system...
6 hours in the voting process I've seen 25 designs so far all at 2.5 points...
That can't be right, some of those designs should be on 3.5, maybe 4.0.
