5.4.16 update on android bringing 100 limit - POLL inculded, Will you continue to play?

[diwata]

The only thing I'd add is "nor ethical"

Plus you notice, the "free to fly" tag has been retired. Did the developer Road 404 sell all rights to GI in 2015? https://www.facebook.com/road404/
I see them rolling over in their pre existent graves. I would so love to hear from one of them. Such a brilliant idea gone to ruin, such a joyful game gone to hell.

Maybe it's been retired cause it will no longer be free.

The next thing on the agenda is to go back and find every bad review and mark it thumbs up or helpful and mark any of the good ones as not helpful

Still yet to have my 100 limit lifted

 

[Canadian Cowboy]

I am at level 73 but I am WAY behind a lot of the long term players here. I am still working on finishing the first 100 green launches. I am also still catching up on my backlog of purchased exploration maps. There is NEVER enough fuel even though I have both oil refineries (both at level 2 and I am NOT spending 2000 greenies to put one of them to level 3 - that's crazy talk). I haven't even started flying to the space map destinations.

What does all this have to do with the 100 per unit limit in the warehouse? Well, simply that I have been collecting items (ear plugs, beds, flight catering meals), for some time, and have well over 100 of each of those items. I would not want to lose them. To do that would be to penalize a long time player, like myself, who has been following the rules and who HAS spent real money on this game.

Someone, please, explain the logic of such an action to me. The only sense I can make of it, is that this is some type of a set up for a money grab by GI, either now or in the near future. The other possibility is that some manager somewhere got hold of a 'bad burger', is now suffering from 'mad cow disease', and then that person made this crazy 100 per unit limit decision.

I like Airport City, all in all. Sure it takes a very long time to make any progress. Fortunately I have a life, and many other things to occupy my time so I can wait for flights to return and buildings to get built. I play once a day (after the timer reset) to collect gifts and fly flights for about 3 to 4 hours. Then I land guest planes to build up passengers and fuel until my tablet needs to be charged.

The 100 per unit limit though, is going to make playing this game a whole lot less fun.

It is only my personal option, and I am not a tablet game programmer, but it seems based on how the game performs on my latest ASUS tablet transformer, the game code needs a major overhaul. There is something in there that is causing a memory leak/game slow down. I see this as the radars no longer scroll smoothly. They jerk and jump about, until the game 'catches up' on some type of internal process. This usually happens if the tablet 'goes to sleep after five minutes', or after I have been playing for about 4 hours.

I put up with this (or reboot the tablet), because I like Airport City, and in the great plan of the galaxy, this isn't really all that important.

I do not understand how the 100 per item limit is going to help anyone, least of all GI. Should that 100 per item limit be imposed on me, I will have to give serous thought to playing this game a lot less or maybe even not at all.

Confused but hanging in there,
Canadian Cowboy.

GI's logic is always off, it would stop people spending money as they can't stockpile. In talks with them trying to get them to lift and reconsider

 

[Chad Ladwig]

When is GI going to have the collection tab fixed. Tired of scrolling through the entire collection tab. The end is near for me.

 

[Løssnus]

Just for the record: nobody takes away what you already have stored. But you wouldn't be able to get more until you spend those things that you have already. And, as I've mentioned before, it's affecting either new players or if you do a complete re-install of the game and your friend code changes.

My friend code is the same as before and I have the 100 limit.

As do I! So unfair

same here !!!!

Game Insight (or any other developer) has nothing to do with reviews in App Store, wherever new update is released there's usually some time before you can post a review for it, App Store regulates it itself. I'd suggest trying again later.

My game will not load, it says it is loading, but it isn't. Can I delete the game and reinstall it?

Better not. I think the solution is to set your phone language to one if the offically supported languages like English until they fix it.
If you reinstall you'll get the 100 limit if it even starts then because of the language issue.

 

[Blue Jay]

I've added a poll to the thread.

This really is a big deal and I think GI have under estimated how much of an impact this will have on players.

Hopefully Ivan will be along at some point to comment.

@Dave - did want to vote for potentially yes but will never spend any real money again

 

[Mia]

Looks to me that the pool backfired a bit. I can just see GI rubbing their hands in glee. Saying:
"See, we'll only lose 100 players--we've got them over a barrel and can extort even more money from the hooked players".

 

[Barkmi4 (Mike)]

Persist with support, after about 10 days my limit has been lifted!!! So happy
@mo elbo see this

 

[Jgm85]

Glad to hear @Barkmi4 (Mike) , shows there is hope for us all. If this is the case going forward for "older" players then it will restore some of the faith lost.

 

[Løssnus]

Its resolved for me too. But not trough support. Last update from support is "they are working hard solving my issue".
Luckily someone in my alliance could fix it for me.

They slapped the 100 limit on me too.

Limit was removed today. Was very fast. And I think Gi should get some kudos for it. I just wonder if my game crashes again, and I have to reinstall it again, would I need to go thru all the hassle to get it lifted again...
