@robotechnology80 Hi Mac, you have a very interesting proposal that has merit and worthy of consideration. I understand folks face challenges with real life obligations but in all fairness to the ones like yourself who found a way to complete the season while dealing with similar challenges, I would suggest that you can purchase up to level 40 if they invested in the premium pass. This way they can collect the unique buildings that may no longer be available. Level 41 & 42 are the most challenging and as such are rewarded accordingly (13 cheetah speed up tokens, 1400 simcash (1300 sells for $19.99) and 10,000 war simoleons) is the prize for time management & endurance. In the proposed scenario I suspect you and I could have spent the $1.99 and called it a day the next to the last week of the season if not sooner - except for the incessant calling of the legendary chest. Take care and stay safe.
Hey, Pinn 🙂
That’s a very good point. To be honest, though, I’m not sure how long I can even keep going full tilt to complete the seasons lolz...Sometimes the burnout feels so real.
On another note, this also got me to thinking if it would be worth exploring to consider a “double/triple your prizes” one-time (immediate, take-it-or-leave-it) offer right at the end of a season. I’m thinking something like what the game “Merge Dragons” does at the conclusion of their events. There’s “chance” employed in Merge Dragons, though. So, for SCBI, it would look something like pulling a slot machine lever for, say, 50-100 SimCash (don’t want to get too close to 250 since that’s = to $5USD and effectively paying for the season twice) to see what items in the tiers you’ve unlocked would be doubled or even tripled. Limit of three one pull on the lever so it doesn’t get crazy. XD Maybe this would be something only for those who make it to a particular tier, as well (heck, maybe only if you complete the season, as an extra incentive). I don’t want to complain about the lower cost of the mayor’s pass following Season #1’s $8.99USD, but we have seen the included prizes quietly diminish ever so slightly each successive season since the pass was decreased to $4.99USD, and the season length and the tiers halved.
I still believe one reason (aside from the obvious money incentive) the pass was introduced was to compete with the Leagues and their very desirable, weekly platinum key/SimCash prizes. I would love to see the prizes in the pass as such that we players simply don’t even think about checking our rank in the league (bypassing the inevitable Monday-morning lamenting of whose score seems improbable lolz) because the pass’ prizes just blow the Leagues out of the water, comparatively speaking.
Thanks so much for the constructive feedback. Take care 🙂
