okay so complaintants have complained, defenders have defended. Some great points on each side have been made. However, this entire thread ... in fact most threads just seem like debates. A continual back and forth of those opposed and for certain features. In continuing the debate where no one agrees; I see very little viable solutions being discussed. So instead of debating I say we all "Agree there is a problem" Lets get to the 'solving' the problem.
In the May episode of InnoTV the development team did state they ARE now listening to us. They are now asking for our suggestions. So let us now put our heads together and spell out REAL working and viable solutions BOTH sides can live with.
As far as the Magic Academy goes, I have always liked it. I stand apart from the crowds most days anyway and that is perfectly okay. I do however understand the issues others have with it. I totally agree with the person who stated they should have given out a free expansion when they made it manditory to build. It would have been nice. Unfortunately we can not turn back time. So that is not now nor will be a viable solution because those who have built the MA already will complain if new folks get one and they didn't and Inno cannot possibly go back and give everyone in the game an expansion. So we move on to other viable solutions. Here is a couple of very real and viable solutions that would not cost too much for the developers but will make players happy:
1) If they improved the spell cast time or strength how would everyone feel then? A very REAL and viable solution to make the hasstle worth it.
2) Spells to improve squad size for a certain number of battles?
3) Spells to improve squad health for a certain number of battles?
4) Spells to increase the troop training size or to reduce the troop training time?
5) Spells to reduce the scout time on new provances?
Those are just 5 of the ideas in my head that would certainly improve player sentiments on the MA. Of course there are many many more! In all honesty I think the real issue everyone is neglecting to realize is that they are unsatisfied with the benefits of the spells coming out and think the rewards are not worth the kp, time and space. So increasing the output of the spells is a MUST for players to start enjoying the MA.
On to the daily log in bonus issue. I love that the developers are considering this option. I see this becoming another thorn in their sides though if they do not offer up something truly beneficial like 5 or 10 diamonds which would certainly change the tide of those pained from the developers missteps already over the last year. I give mad props to the developers at admitting to some of those mistakes and being willing to now take to heart player suggestions. This game has great potential to be up there with GOW if you play your cards right. It is an awesome concept that many were drawn too because it did not include PvP which meant our cities were safe from harm. But with your missteps; to the players it feels like YOU are harming them and taking their freedoms away. Even when you admit to an issue being on your part you fail to reimberse the players for what they have lost. So again, giving them a daily log in bonus of diamons would be of great value to you. It might even gain some player loyalty back and draw in new players.
And that is my 2 cents
