For the buildings like Bank, Visa Center etc, will they only costs greens after the update or it is still possible to buy those with gold/silver tokens?

You guys keep moving in the right direction. Lets hope for an amazing 2021 with great updates like these 👏🏿
However, there is one huge downside, which is that the auto collect buildings only being worth greenies is going to impact upcoming players who have not gotten those buildings as yet. The change will also place CBM owners at a bigger advantage in terms of exchanging their gold/silver tokens to greenies. Now that leaves me with one question:

Are we witnessing a transition from the use of gold/silver tokens to only greenies?

With autocollect now being greenies only, that leaves the following use for gold/silver tokens:
1) Hangar upgrades
2) S1 and S2 jets
3) Autocollect contracts (silver only thank God)
So their use is beginning to dwindle.
Any thoughts you can share on this would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, it’s always appreciated.
I’m a little concerned about changing the cost of those buildings to greens. At first I thought it was an either/or cost, which I think is a great idea.
But changing these to greens only seems to make these less accessible to some players.

 

[VdW]

So all those new prices will start with the next update?

It's the way the game is going. You want to have an advantage over other players, you need to spend some real money for it.

 

[Madge59230]

@Ur-quan have to agree with the others. Making it greens only, makes it LESS accessible not more. It means real money only as greens at that number have to be bought. No way of flying to earn. Gold tokens are becoming worthless then?

 

[Ur-quan]

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

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.

 

[V_421]

No more saving my gold tokens for those buildings. Will not be able to build them anymore.
But what is the use of gold tokens after this? To upgrade repair shop, and buy S2 planes.
Or do I miss anything here?

 

[Madge59230]

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.

So I’m saving for reserve hangar level 5 which costs a mountain of gold and silver. Should I stop or is it going to be an astronomical amount of greens?

such extremes won't happen, I think. No such plans from the development team as far as I know.

I like the alliance rework idea; think it's well needed. If they could make it that weekly tasks are based only on the active fleet and not include those in the hangar, that would be a huge gamechanger

 

[Divyank]

@Ur-quan How do you make these buildings more accessible I would like to ask everyone on this forum wether gold and silver is more accessible or greenies there is no way to earn greenies but we can earn gold and silver . This is definitely not gonna help players

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

 

[Gt city]

Great and positive news.

 

[Madge59230]

Paying isn’t earning.

 

[Rohith Kodgi]

If this is the way goes, spend greenies for everything.. it makes no sense in continuing this game..

 

[KingJJ]

Paying isn’t earning.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know that
