New Scoring, Same Frustrations

This is my observation on the separation of Mayors Pass Points and Contest of Mayors.  Our club has many good involved playing members.  With the tasks now separated and scored differently, We are no where near where we usually are on the CoM scoreboard.  By now we’d be charging through trying to get the Legendary chest.  Meanwhile, I’m charging through the Mayors Pass and will run out of rewards certainly by the end of the second week.

This is why the separation of task scoring is not helpful to us.  If it’s for the benefit of players who are managing their daily lives, please don’t forget about us who do play very frequently.  It’s easier for someone to choose to play less frequently, but you’ve created a system that takes away the rewards for those who like to play a lot.  For me it’s therapy, routine, a bit of fun.

I think the creeping erosion of the value Contest of Mayors rewards (Plumpbobs) is disappointing and I don’t think I’m alone in this.  Once upon a time you could get 120 green simcash for the Legendary chest, and it was attainable.  Also, the amount of green plumbobs needed in the final week 0f CoM is now so unachieveable, certainly not without making purchases.

 Please, give back to players to make their own choice how much or how little they choose to play. It’s getting dull already “completing industrial items” tasks so often. I hope this sincerely meant feedback will be of use.

    This change is awful. Half my club, including me, agree that the game has become increasingly less fun over the past year. Every change has been for the worse.

    I’ve said it before but every update or change is ONLY about maximizing profits for their shareholders. The trying to appear like they care about the players’ opinion is just a show.

  • My club attined the legenday chest after 3 days of playing. Half of which are on tier 27 or more in CoM. The assignments scores for producing anything is ridiculousy low for the effort of doing them. Now i think we will hit tier 48 probably next week. Not sure what will happen then as i think theyll stop playing.

    EA needs to really look hard at what they are doing as this is a game and is a slow and steady one but now it seems its a race to see who finishes 1st

  • Whoops….i meant Epic chest, not Legendary in all instances above.  The Epic chest has become a distant memory.

  • I agree the game is frustrating and is getting worthless. Over the past years it's not been a game it's been a job. And I have two of them I don't feel like having to bust my **bleep** at two places at the same time. You should put it back the way it was when it was 5 years ago leave your hands off things stop changing things get rid of the war get rid of the stupid octopus and just have it be a simple having fun building game with having disasters to destroy the place.

    FYI if you tap the 3 dots near the top right of your post you can go in and edit your original post if you made an error.

  • Auch in unserem Club das gleiche Problem, wir hatten immer die letzte Truhe erreicht, seit der Punkte Umstellung ist es unmöglich die letzte Truhe zu erreichen.

    Es wäre schön wenn das Bitte wieder geändert wird.

    Either your club had better rewarded bonus assignments or your club is full of players that spend  several  hours playing  every day.

    My club  almost did not reach the Epic Chest this week.  (And I think most of us are spending with this game more time than is healthy.) There are 24 members in our club, all active. We have only three members that are above tier 23.  The average of the other 21 members is tier 15.
