Every update to the Global HQ has made it worse. Now I have to wait 30 seconds to tell me it is all the llamas fault. Poor Llamas...It takes longer to load a city now so it is pretty hopeless to even get anything now. Ive been in the Global HQ for the last hour trying to buy things. Needless to say It would be better if global HQ was just taken out at this point. It doesn't work. I am about ready to stop playing.
I like the idea with the air port and Tokyo Town. But now the game has too much going on. I have upgrading buildings, disaster challenges, cargo ships, cargo air planes and Tokyo Town. You cannot keep up the production in the stores with all of this. It has been a few days since I have been able to upgrade any building because I only have 6 hours to get some pretty hard stuff into the cargo plane. And then I have to wait 18 hours. I think it would make the game a little better if the stores could produce more than one item at a time, or be able to put down 2 or 3 of the same store to keep products flowing. Right now I have to come up with 5 pieces of cheesecake between disaster, cargo plane and Tokyo town, which means i have to make watermelon and cheese, which means I have to make plants, and seeds and shovels, and bread.. its just too much. I like how you can request new plans for the disasters now, but they do not get any easier when they do that.
Also... if you can fix the distribution of expansion items. I have been sitting on 1 dozer blade for almost a week. I have 40 of the other 2 items combined. What sucks about this is that it takes up valuable space in my storage because I am hesitant to sell those pieces. I find myself trying to buy dozer blades in the global HQ along with the entire Build it world.. how do you think that is going?!?!
It seems they're trying to shove a full-scale PC game into a tiny box--it doesn't fit.
Furthermore, I firmly agree; Trade is WORSE now, than before this most recent "update".
Click an item, travel to city, item is sold, back to trade, click another item, item is sold--I think they made this problem worse; the frequency in which I personally click an item only to find that it is no longer available has actually increased since this update. Before, I could refresh instantly after realizing the item was already sold--now I must wait for a timer??! You've gotta be kidding me, EA. Seems their solution to "fixing" trade, is to make it so difficult to use--that people stop using it. Hey, less usage = less complaints. I guess that's one way to solve a problem--too bad you lose masses of gamers who will not be making any real purchases either... or is it too bad? Maybe I'll go outside and play now, instead. :-)
