Helter Shelter? Really?

It looks butt ugly now. Really bad change.

I'm disappointed, I was happy with where I had it placed before the change.

I kinda hope this is an indication of some rescaling to come. Some items are just too big.

But the shelter isnt one of them. It just looks SUPER weird now.

only because you got used to it as it was, i think it's pretty up to scale right now...

I don't think so! It's even smaller than the gulp 'n' blow! :-\

Honestly I wouldn't mind them scaling gulp 'n' blow down a bit too. Same for El Chemistri.

I would hate it if they did that! :O

I just noticed that the pay out was changed too; it now pays out $500 and 45 XP instead of $300 and 30 XP. Still every 24 hours though.

That's because it's premium now! :mrgreen:

Agree %100

I'm not in favour of any buildings being resized, but, if they had to be, I can think of a dozen others that are more needing to be than the Helter Shelter. :?

I suspect this was 100% a business decision.

By now, I bet they've accumulated data showing that players are more likely to buy premium buildings that are small in size. It would explain the recent wave of bite-sized premium buildings -- Rocket Car, Unfinished Shed, Macaroni's Shed, Lotto & Liquor. They figured more people would buy the Helter Shelter if they could cram it in their towns, so they went ahead and shrunk it.

If their objective was to save people space, there are a whole bunch of other buildings they could have resized. Instead, they shrink the building that they are trying to sell to you.

I don't want to believe it....but I suspect you are 100% correct.
