FAO of all players - Bug or Hacking
How can a players leader board score in Mayors Pass not match their profile score for the same Contest of Mayors Intentional or otherwise this will reward the wrong players green cash and hard working lower down players who’s score matches their profile will be denied the proper rewards.
Boost: +100% Seasonal Currency - Paid for, have not received
I purchased the +100% Seasonal Currency boost for this week right at the start of the new Contest of Mayors, and have not received the boost. I still have the option of buying and paying for the boost again. Payment clearly shows up both in my Google Play order history and on my credit card. Please refund me, or activate the boost.New game update creating issues
Since adding the City Report (latest update), SimCity has issues. First, I cannot upgrade roads. Each time I try, the game locks up and the screen pixelates. I am forced to restart each time without making any changes or improvements. Second, factories do not "smoke" from the smokestacks to indicate production is underway. There is no visual difference from an idle factory.Materials factory bug
Count down timers not working for glass, paper and spices (all of the longer timers). I have restarted phone, cleared cache and data, logged out amd in again and I have visited trade centre/dock etc to try and resync with server but nothing has worked, I cant bulldoze and rebuild as it says finish processing goods first and I camt because its stuck. The problem isn't one particular factory, it is several factories, some have timers working for some goods and not others. AndroidThoughts about "boosts"
I am really trying to figure out why "boosts" are being as some sort of new exciting feature, when in reality, they are just.... pointless. A) Mayor's pass points boost - the "boost" ends roughly about ten days after this current season ends. The first week of next season will have the the tightest mayor's pass progress limit of all four weeks. So, this boost will give you a 50% boost for earning mayor's pass points... which means players are just going hit the progress limit sooner. My thoughts: this is really not any sort of game benefit. Players who earn the boost will just hit the limit sooner and more players will complain about the limit. This is a worthless "boost" and I think it is a complete waste of time, I'm angry that EA spent time developing this when they could have been fixing bugs and glitches in the game. How it could be better: Perhaps adjust the boost to increase plumbob points earned as opposed to mayor's pass points. But I think this boost is just going to cause people to complain period. B) Seasonal Currency Boost - This boost does dramatically increase the amount of pumpkins one can earn... but that's just it. The amount of pumpkins needed to convert into the other currencies is incredibly expensive for extremely stingy conversion rates for the two coins. I know why it's set up the way it is, clearly the developers are attempting to increase the amount of time players spend in the game.. question is why? If you want to increase revenue from players watching ads or spending money.. how about actually incentivizing players to want to watch ads and spend money. It is NOT rocket science. My thoughts: this is a decent boost, but it's potential is limited by exceptionally stupid stingy cheap conversion rates for seasonal currency, and it's clearly an attempt at a cash grab by the developers. How it could be better: just remove seasonal currency, it was never a great concept and somehow EA makes it WORSE every round. C) Rail currency boost - This boost will increase rail coin earnings by 20%... which sounds impressive on paper, but in practicality, this is probably the worst boost of the all. To really benefit from this, a user would have to dispatch trains at a heavier rate than they currently do, but we run into issues such as rail bank currency limits, or in the cases of some, not having many trains unlocked / upgraded. And the amount of work needed to earn this boost is ridiculous. My thoughts: this is just a gimmick, trains are a half baked idea that were already messed up seriously. This boost may benefit some, but overall, I don't anticipate many people will complete the season collection specifically for this boost. How it could be better: just don't bother. Waste of time. In the end, I am incredibly disappointed with the state of the game. Clearly the approach with everything added to the game as of late is clearly done to drive players to spend money. Nothing that is added is fun, and the fact that things such as a buggy glitchy game that requires a lot of currency grinding to convert season currency are marketed as "fun" just goes to show how out of touch EA is with what their players want. I encourage EA to stop adding features to the game. You miss the mark every single time anymore. Truth be told, I think the game should be sold to another developer / publisher that will actually listen to players. If that doesn't happen, I think EA should identify a handful or ten players of different background to use as consultants on proposed gameplay features - and I don't mean as testers, I mean as a way of getting input from seasoned players BEFORE spending time developing and implementing features.Fully Spooky Offer & Ghost Essence Offer NOT WORKING
Anyone else having a problem purchasing the Fully Spooky Offer for $19.99 (which should give you 18,000 Ghost Essence Tokens & 10,000 Creep Tokens)..you can do it up to 5 times…I clicked on it AND bought it TWICE (I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize that it is really linked to the Medium 2021 Pack…which is some SimCash and the Joya No Kane Building)…The Ghost Essence Offer for $14.99 (which should give you 14,000 Ghost Essence tokens) is linked to something called Large Camping Offer. The only one that is linked correctly is the Creep Token offerwhich is supposed to give you 4500 creep tokens for $9.99 I tried to complain to customer service in the game to alert them that the links are broken and do not go to the correct reward but those customer service reps apparently don’t read anything but they just asked me for proof purchase. Any suggestions on who to complain to? I tried to gather and get all the buildings which I’m not sure is going to happen without periodically purchasing these rewards.Hidden city design challenge
When ever I leave the design challenge and reenter the happiness resets to 25% and the lowest population I have managed to get it to 60% but takes ages to go back up. youre going to need to log on well in advance of submitting if you want to meet the population requirement for all blueprintsHas anyone found the City Report Card useful?
Has anyone found the city report card useful, I mean other than viewing it and licking on road upgrades to cause the app to pixelate and crash? I'm incredibly angry that of all the things that EA could have used its time for - like making the game's performance better, or improving existing features that are pretty much useless like trains, they developed... the report card. I am pretty sure a lot of the buggy performance issues in the game are related to the stupid report card. I kindly ask EA to just leave the game alone and go develop something new. What an incredible waste of time.
