[B17 Flying Fortress]

Hello, pilots! News here.


🔵Thank you for the feedback on new flights window. Our designers have studied it and preparing fixing and improvements in the upcoming updates (adding items quantity display, resizing the UI on windows platform, etc.)

8.10 update release is planned for this week.

🟢Hello spring! We missed you! Snow will melt.

🟢Economy changes: As you've noticed we've decided to lower the maximum cost for high lvl land expansions.

🟢And ow we're working on making auto-click buildings more accessible:
Bank Branch, Visa Center, Pawn Shop, Collection Agency, Police Station, Logistical Center, Tax Service, Ministry of Truth and Design Center will be no longer requiring alliance lvl and will be available in the regular shop.
Player level requirements are also lowered:

	Cost before	Cost after	player Lvl requirement after
Bank Branch​	400 Silver tokens, 20 gold tokens	50 airport cash	10
Visa Center​	400 Silver tokens, 20 gold tokens	50 airport cash	10
Pawn Shop​	400 Silver tokens, 20 gold tokens	70 airport cash	20
Collection Agency​	2500 Silver tokens, 150 gold tokens	160 airport cash	30
Police Station​	2500 Silver tokens, 150 gold tokens	160 airport cash	30
Logistical Center​	2500 Silver tokens, 150 gold tokens	210 airport cash	40
Tax Service​	3000 Silver tokens, 250 gold tokens	500 airport cash	40
Ministry of Truth​	3000 Silver tokens, 250 gold tokens	500 airport cash	40
Design Center​	3000 Silver tokens, 250 gold tokens	610 airport cash	50

Special airship offers are planned.

Passengers contracts costs in airport cash will be lowered as well.

	time	cost before	cost after
Express Contract	60	10 Silver tokens / 2 airport cash	10 Silver tokens / 2 airport cash
Urgent Contract	180	40 Silver tokens / 6 airport cash	40 Silver tokens / 5 airport cash
Rapid Contract	540	125 Silver tokens / 18 airport cash	125 Silver tokens / 14 airport cash
Standard Contract	960	250 Silver tokens / 32 airport cash	250 Silver tokens / 24 airport cash
Lengthy Contract	1440	450 Silver tokens / 48 airport cash	450 Silver tokens / 35 airport cash
Long-term Contract	2880	1000 Silver tokens / 96 airport cash	1000 Silver tokens / 70 airport cash

P.S: 🔵Next event will be Walk in the clouds

Love the new ideas and changes. Any possibility of the option of any of the 3 currencies? Coin, green or gold for purchases?

Also the need for buying 6 of each Visa, pawn shop or bank just to get a design center seems unnecessary to me.

Any chance of getting green reimbursement for already buying land at the higher costs previously?

Thank you

This is one of the steps. There are plans on complete reworking of the alliance system this year. To make it more engaging and rewarding. Tokens and rewards might be redesigned in this process.

i think it would be nice for lower level players in a not top 100 alliance to get a possibility to get alliance maps

 

[V_421]

Oh, there's a way to earn greens, and it's gonna help THEM!

You can earn your greens by being 1st in every event. Easy...
O no wait. Getting gold with red launches was easier. 🤪

Thank you! As always, a mix of better and bad news. Good is the change in expansion price. But the new acquiring system of Visa Centers etc. makes them less accessible at least for me. For now it was a reward for planning and patience to get them, now it will be only a question of not-at-all-small money (Design Center 610 Airport Cash??? Really??? Maybe affordable for people from Brunei or Monaco 🤔 but sure not for many here).

You could really reconsider the possibility of buying them with tokens, they are hard enough to get, but that's what the game is about, isn't it?

Also, if the concern is to make the game more balanced, the possibility of paying for those buildings only with greenies IMHO will move things just in another direction.

I like that good job

 

[Nayeon]

Crying - I just used all my gold tokens for Bank Branches last month. Sigh. I like the idea of an either/or in terms of tokens/greenies.

I'm very happy to hear about the changes to the Flights dialog. My wish list would be:
1. Fix the generic icons with correct airplane icons by type.
2. In the default view, show me how many flights I have currently and what I need to the next star so I don't have to keep clicking on "Read More". Putting this near the stars would be an easy fix, I think.
3. If I have a plane on a ramp, and I tap on it, it opens to a list of destinations for that aircraft type. But when I tap on heart flights, it loses that selector. For example I tap on a Thunderbird on the ramp and the Flight dialog opens to a list of Thunderbird flights. I then tap hearted flights but the list of flights is now set for a different aircraft type (in my case Falcon). I'd like it to default to the aircraft I had already filtered the list on. Would make it much simpler!
4. When I click on my flight radar and see my flights, they all have the same plane icon. Please fix!
5. Sometimes the Flight filters get confused. If I click on mapped flights, then click on active flights, I see my active flights even if they are not mapped ones. That is very confusing - I should see no flights if both filters are supposed to be in effect. Doing this with helicopters or launches seems to be fine, but the other ones seem broken.

These are hopefully very easy fixes. I think it won't take much to make this really a wonderful view, and I can really see all the hard work your graphics people must have put in to get all those destination images updated. That's a lot!

Also, I hope they realize that while we are griping about a few things, there is a lot of work that they did which makes the game more enjoyable. I hope they hear the good stuff too.

Thanks so much,

👧 ⛽

Only greens

The game is developing in only wrong direction: money money money making. Milking the cow till it's death! Devaluating of thing which required in the past strategy and lot of gameplay work.
S3 planes? Needed to be part in top100 alliance, spend lot of time till you got all sets for one plane together and needed to save lot of fuel to get the collections together.
Now its nothing special, just pay the 5 bucks every quest and someday you will get it out of the mystery plane chest.

Buying buildings needs gold tokens? Forget it, greens greens greens. Money money money.
Why should i then run for gold tokens? Challenge gone.

On the other side? Cheating players manipulating Top100 rankings with cloned games, unlimited greens/fuel and "hard reset" or hangar bug. Nobody of GI cares. Money talks.

And then every update you release with new bugs or changes that have missworking functions like the new flight deck. Full of crap. Testings? Bananaware. Product mellows at the customer.

Wrote you here a message middle of august last year with ideas for game improvements. No response.

The future is bright!

Are you seriously believe GI would give you ever something (of money) back they took from you? Good joke 🙃

Ha! GI has seen the light and will slowly accommodate all our requests! Worth a shot as stranger things have happened. Figure it would be based on a case by case matter involving a series of emails. Nothing would be willingly given back of course. Personally, not one real cent spent on greens I have acquired and spent.

 

[Maverick68]

Which, undoubtedly, has factored into our current predicament.

This requires the programmers ' qualifications. "Don't shoot the pianist, he plays as well as he can."

Well I have purchased some premium passes though so I have supported them. No matter what they change for good or bad, everyone will have an opinion and complain about something. I'd say the game peaked around the time the red launch pad was introduced. Since then its just event after event with rewards that don't invite completion. Bottom line they will do whatever makes them money. Free to play, free to complain

 

[Towelie]

A photo appeared in the play market. The inscription - "Upgrade". Will this be a new feature?

Special airship offers are planned.

Will these special airship offers require gold and silver tokens to make the purchases?

 

[Jamie236]

Level 100 and a new plane?

 

[Chloe11111]

Level 100 and a new plane?

A new plane?

 

[Mouse]

Yes. Just for building purchase. Contracts will be still available in tokens and greenies.

In the past, gold and silver were used to buy/upgrade buildings that had more “value” than items that were purchased with greenies. With the plan to make some buildings (i.e. Visa Center) more accessible to others using greenies, are there any plans to reimburse those of us who used all their gold and silver to make those past purchases? (Similar to the credits we received when GI changed the cost of hangers)
