I agree with all of that. So if the Lighthouse manna boost effect was mostly worthless, they should acknowledge it and either change or replace the effect to provide other value. They could make the effect percentage boost to generated manna regardless of help, or they could make it a boost based on your total manna from culture bonuses due to help.Assorted stuff
TL;DR - Yeah, IMO Lighthouse is pretty worthless, but it was this way for a long, long time
They over correct everything.
It's the same game new stores or restaurants play. "All you can eat seafood buffet $8.50" then three months later "Oh sorry, that's $20 now and crab legs are separate"
Wrong Lighthouse. Why they insist on duplicating names of game items is beyond me, but you're obviously talking about the nerf of the Crystal Lighthouse. This post is complaining about the impact of the new neighborly help system on the Lighthouse of the Good Neighborhood. That one gives a mana boost when the culture is polished on a mana producing bldg...but since many/most mana/culture bldgs are not the highest culture bldgs, they don't appear in culture window of the new help system until all other higher culture bldgs are polished. Because so many people were doing visits via mobile anyway, that's why @MinMax Gamer wondered if the OP was getting mana polishes before the system came to browser.They thought the Lighthouse was too generous, so instead of just reducing the effect a bit they nerfed the crap out of it.
or, muck was referring to the earlier lighthouse nerf as a perfect example of how they've done this before and will do it again.Wrong Lighthouse
...and then there is Enar's with that 1 broken shard a week...So if the Lighthouse manna boost effect was mostly worthless, they should acknowledge it and either change or replace the effect to provide other value.
That one's irrelevant because I wasn't foolish enough to build it........and then there is Enar's with that 1 broken shard a week...
Same here except I think I only got to Level 3 before I sold my Crystal Lighthouse. Didn't see much need for the Good Neighbor one either. I don't use the EE spells often. I don't much care to get more coins and I get more than enough supplies using PoP spells. The only mana producing wonder that I think is worth placing is the Dragon Abbey. I love having a mana ATM where I can withdraw as much mana as I need at a moment's notice. Once I had that I no longer cared about mana decay because I only needed to produce enough mana to meet my daily needs. Any one-time needs could be met by using spells. In general I feel mana is best produced by mana producing event buildings. My KP can better be used on wonders that do more special things than producing mana like 100 other buildings already do better.Built The Crystal Lighthouse and got it to level 4 (waste of KP) and then sold it for the space.
Did not build Good Neighbor one either.
