Get rid of helicopters

Most boring stuff ever. Not gonna play it, 1000 flights, Russians again go do one

This is just one of the pitfalls of game design.
It may be extremely boring for most players, but you have to face it It also exists in other games to some extent.
This design is to try to keep enthusiastic fans.
In order to cope with the helicopter game activities, I had to increase from one helicopter to 4, and fly slowly, although there is a dark cloud in front of me

You do NOT have to fly 1000 helicopter flights to the Event destinations unless you want to 3 star them for the Mystery Super Bonus. I doubt I would do it. If you don't want to do 1000 flights (and don't blame you), that's your LEGITIMATE decision made with your own LEGITIMATE reasons. Take responsibility for that decision instead of complaining.

It is boring 1000 flights

It is boring like a hell, but not the flying itself. Major issue is the supply of flight items. I had to reduce the number of Crossbills and Goldfinches to keep them in the air as you cannot simply produce more items (no greenies) once you deplete the 100 item limit is consumed. But would you like to play a game, which is piece of cake?

Speaking of boredom in the game. I can tell you that there is a game I have played for nearly 7 years (in fact, more than this, because for some reasons, the Chinese game agency stopped operating. Before that, I played for more than 3 years, and then had to transfer to the TaiWan server ), the game currently has a total of 3,683 discoveries, covering major archaeological discoveries, religious discoveries, artistic discoveries, astronomical discoveries, geographic discoveries, biological discoveries, and human historical treasure discoveries in human history.
So far, I have completed 2,275 discoveries. For these discoveries, I have to travel to and from the world’s five continents repeatedly in this game. Are you boring? Every day, I drive a sailboat around the world in this game, because the game is set in the 14th-16th century.

In this game, a one-way trip from London or Amsterdam to India is the fastest ship, which is about 1 hour in real time, and about 1 hour and 40 minutes to Southeast Asia. Some missions and discoveries have to go back and forth 3 times.

Did someone mention boredom, in a game?

No, but it would be nice if I could achieve 3 stars on these destinations in my lifetime

I had calculated it last year, it will take I believe 11 years, 10-14 days each year event is active, to produce items for 5,000 Goldfinch flights

The only way to complete H 1000 flights to remove them from this event and add them to the alliance missions like other destination

My experience is: Don't think about 1000 flights, fly when you should, and give up if you don't want to fly.
In real life, you have to make such a choice.

Look anything like this?

In real life thats true but in a game its Gi mistake and happen before and they change it.
First time when Gi add Helicopter to the game they make it hard like impossible to complete 3 stars but me and some other players we did it about 500 flights then Gi change it after a month to make it easy 100 flights after many complains from us.
This what this thread talking about its crazy from Gi to make in event 1000 flights it will take a years like what @Pit1024 says 11 years so they have to see our complains to change it or move it to alliance mission maybe this will help to complete 1000 flights.

Helis could be a fine addition if they did a overhaul of some things:
1) Reduce the required amount of flights for this event to 3 star. Nothing else needs to be said about that
2) Construct items in manufacturing centers and hi tech plants in parallel like the resource centers
3) Allow any previous size helicopter to land on the most advanced pad....similar to planes and runways
4) Either get rid of the 6 building limit or reduce the amount of items needed to build hi tech plant items. 6 resource centers is not enough to fuel 6 hi tech plants. Because of the consumption rate of the hi tech plants, you need more supplies farther up the supply chain to keep a fleet of varying helis in the air
5) Reduce the production time for items.

Do these 5 things and I might crack a smirk when the word helis come up.......maybe 😐

6) increase the revenue from flights to make them actually worthwhile - especially with the event flights which are money losers.

Oh yeah I forgot about your money loser discovery...yeah add that too

If they do items 1-3 that would be a huge win.

I will agree that 1000 flights for 3 stars is a bit nutty. Condors require at most 600 for 3 stars, and even on special maps 500 is the highest I can remember seeing.

As you know it only takes 120 stars for normal Goldfinch destinations. Going from 50 to 400 for 2 stars and 1000 for 3 stars on an event destination looks like a math error.

50, 250, and 500 would seem more reasonable for these destinations. Even then I've given up trying to get 3 stars on any of these. Even 2 stars is not realistic in the current event model (400 flights) with helicopters.

 

[Madge59230]

I’d like helicopters to land highest pad as suggested, but also a reserve hanger for helis. 16 slots would do fine. Then we can switch them in and out as with planes.

Seeing how GI likes to rehash events, it'll probably still be there in eleven years...
