EA Staff (Retired)Maybe I was mistaken and even got 0 stars for my design. So I really don‘t get it... Even if the text is in German I suppose that you understand what I‘m talking about
All these designs recieved half stars (I attach screenshots). Mine included. It is hillarious and unfair. Designs with bare minimum requirements and no effort got 3 stars. I know it is a test but putting rewards that are impossible to reach even with lots of effort and time spent is unfair.
@PortBudapest Nice pictures. They need to bring the pink trees back as I haven’t got any! 😩
I'm sorry to note that only the second design has some asian resemblance, definitely not Chinese 🙂 - more Japanese.
Nevertheless, they are by FAR better than the winning design, and the ones I've seen to evaluate... ehm, no, vote on, because evaluating would mean giving it a score and add comments.
ChinaTown round is a disaster, failure. All previous results are now missing. All cities aparently scored 0.5 but the (ugly) winning 'design'.
@Therealpcsurgeon The first and third pictures from my previous post are green valley designs, not chinatown. 🙂 Not everyone gets the same task apparently. For me it was green valley
I think the game has been hacked, which is why china town was won by the same person as festival.
i think the star rating works as how many votes you got compared to the top score. Suppose top won 10 votes and you got 6, top gets 5 stars, you get 3. Fair, to a point, assuming both of you get the same number of voting opportunities.
now suppose the winner hacked the system and submitted 100 votes for their city. Your 6 is now barely half a star.
assuming this is the way voting works (and it neatly explains someone winning twice with 2 poor cities and the rest getting a low rating), there is an easy fix:
1) keep tack of how many times a design is put out for vote.
2) keep track of how many votes each design won and how many it lost
3) if lost + win is not the same as chances to vote, the designer is a cheat. They should be banned from the game.
i believe their cheating has cost me a free land expansion ... doubt I would have got much further but still ...
all us cheat victims should be given some compensation ... say a boost in blueprints ... or a free land expansion?
