Would you pay a subscription fee for this?

How long are you flying the Jumbos though? As you know, it's always the "rare item" of the collection that determines the pace. Collection overall is good, but collection of the rare item is the issue for me I guess. The rate is just super slow

Flying 10x Jumbos daily, 3 waives (i.e. 30 flights) I get 4-8 collections.

Hmm...that's an impressive drop rate. I was doing something similar during the QL event, and my rate wasnt close to that good. Guess the RNG just differs for us

Subscription services tend to create "Elite" player groups. That usually means "Elite" privileges, i.e. extras that dont necessarily make your gameplay better, just more luxurious. So we are more likely to get privileges like:

• 24/7 in-game support concierge.
• Ability to personalise aircraft
• A special name badge that tells other players you are a subscriber
• Ability to buy additional coin generating buildings (e.g. a church that pays 100 coins every time someone sends you a gift).
• Ability to buy special bonuses (e.g. a mobile phone that allows you to converse with 4 other players for 6 hours).
• Ability to deploy additional Charter Adventure Flights (e.g. buy a beaten up Dakota to fly to Afghanistan to collect a consignment of opium - pays 1,000,000 coins if successfully completed, but with risk of losing all your cash and passenger generating buildings if one of your neighbours tells the DEA what you are up to).
• Opportunity to buy Shares in other Alliances for Greenies. The value of those greenies increase if that Alliance has a higher ranking that week, or decreases if they have a lower ranking. Player can cash in their Shares at any time after 7 days to get Greenies back.
• New level of each Aircraft called the S4 Type. Costs lots more gold and silver tokens to buy, but carries half as many passengers for twice the coin generating value.

So there we have it - and of course a new airport lounge called "The First Class Lounge" - its an enormous building - takes up 6x6 airport squares, and pays 500,000 coins - but only once a month!

i got 1 jumbo, jus 9 more to go

Ok, i can easily see the collect all button should just collect all.

The ideas I'm suggesting are ones that when you think about it do not give a real advantage over other players. They simply make things quicker to do by reducing clicks.

i can now pay $14.99 for 96 greenies
but i think i could consider $5 month for a collection of 1 greenie per day, similar greenie cost, and no loss of videos too

great discussion though

on another game i pay $7.99 per month for token, 100 all up getting them 3 per day and 10 at purchase
that game i get 30 videos per day

Why are you doing that? Wait for a sale and get 336 for 29.99 .

never had that offer, best i can get is 192 for $29.98

 

[slanghanger]

would pay that definitely

 

[AshPort]

$1 for 10 greenies

i am probably close to my limit now, must wait for itunes gift vouchers for xmas
maybe then i will spend a little, videos are worth too much for when i upgrade

Select your quest item?

I have several collections that are lacking only a single item. Getting to select an Iceland Crest, for example, would allow me to collect a Spyglass. If I could make one selection per week it would feel that I can make good progress in the game and have at least the appearance of control.

Also would like in-game communication

I see lots of no votes yet many people like the idea in their comments. Kind of confusing

i thought the same bit strange..

 

[volly]

I bet the idea of anything that cost money is a no vote for they expect it for free

 

[Finlayson]

I'd be careful with what we ask for. I don't want GI releasing buggy features that can get cleaned up with a monthly subscription.

 

[Navigata07]

Well @volly would you look at that. Looks like GI has started a subscription service with their next update. Let's see how much it matches to your suggestions.

I will not pay a subscription fee. If they are going to players who have money more advantage than they already have, then where is the fairness for the others?

If GI increased the drop rates for flights, I would be more inclined to spend money on greenies --- and what is this about the drop rate for trees? I've chopped down 10,000 trees (at least) and only have two collections completed. I no longer chop trees. People are more inclined to pay money if they get rewarded --- the drop rates are so dismal that I will not throw good money at it hoping to finish a collection. I used a sky captain bonus the other day and had fewer drops than I did before or after it was active.

When the game is fun and I'm seeing results, I spend money on greenies --- if I don't see results, I spend nothing. I do not trust GI to give them money every month with the hopes they will improve the satisfaction of playing the game. Their lack of income and desperation of getting people to spend greenies by decreasing drop rates / awards does not work - people spend money if they get results (like planetarium drop rate) I have spent a LOT of money on this game - and then GI changes the rules making the items I gladly spent money on nearly worthless and I will not fall for it again (IE: the money I spent on planetariums for one) The first year I played this game I spent $720. purchasing greenies ($30. every two weeks = $60. / month or $720. a year) Back when I was spending money on the game, the drop rates were decent - now they are so horrible I won't pay money to play.

 

[andy8758]

I think the subscription service could be a good idea, but the Gold service offersPerfect weather conditions and zero chance of a breakdown - part of the challenge/fun is overcoming problems like you would in the real world -throwing money at your problems does not solve them, and makes gameplay worse.

Now what about removing my 100 item limit GIS? That would be real progress.

Seriously? Why are you worried about competing with others when it comes to your city? What difference does it make? Not much.

Yep!
The joke with the code thread - it is AMAZING how many people are not reading and falling for it. I can't stop laughing.
