Weekly Alliance Mission upcoming changes

[Madge59230]

Maybe they'll offer a "mini-GD" for only 2 greenies - one that would last 2 or 3 hours? I could handle that, but I would hate having to use a full 6 hour GD for only 100 flights. If course, could always switch to a different destination with different flight needs for the rest of the time of the GD - but then that would be a big waste of maps.

And youd run out of fuel.!

Well I just saw something that I dont recall witnessing here in this group of friends, neighbors, comrades, and even family.
I saw one person doing a red launch with just over 11 hours on the countdown left. 88 points she put in yet no one attempts to help out.
But everyone can appear suddenly when a QL is added to the pot. Although all the newcomers are not very generous in submitting points allowing the QL donor to carry the load.

Sad everyone wants to be your neighbor, or friend, but in a pinch, they all turn their backs on you

Sad but has there been an ask for help? Not sure id join a red with only 88 points in. If you cant finish, you shouldnt start. That should go for anyone whatever level.

A ql will always attract. Even when you dont want it to!

With this limit, its ALL about the fuel. I think for the most part the other items can be handled, as you will be continuously using flight items as you burn through them. However....we all know that handling fuel is the real gem of this game. Our capacity is limited, yet much is required. I can't even keep all 13 planes of my fleet in the air if Im not burning through excess fuel in the process. Im hoping with the new limit, they will at least have a new way of allowing us to either store fuel or burn it more efficiently

 

[Chazzy999]

this being said, doing 2 is quite manageable

I find two tasks managable with the 100 limit but I have no fuel for anything else so my city is lacking in adventure and alliance map flight rewards. So I, for one welcomes the task changes.

Fuel is definitely the key. I fly 9 Condors - I use 18 fuel(20) each time I send them off, plus the 250 that has accumulated. And that's just regular flights. My other 4 planes vary depending on alliance missions or maps I may be choosing to fly. I could space them out - send 1 every hour, but I cannot practically spend that much time on the game.

Yes that’s my thoughts too - it’s all about fuel use.

I am used to having hundreds or thousands of red F20 in stock but I only actually use them maybe 100 or so at a time when doing map flights.

As I said in my first response to this - if it affects my game play I’m off but I have plenty of ideas about how to handle it - also with the gold subscription I have a higher fuel limit on the game if 325 units. I have noticed that with the gold subscription when found alliance map flights I have excellent drops when using GD or SC so I have been using less than the 100 or so I generally use.

If the alliance tasks are also being changed for the better then maybe it won’t be a big deal but there are still so many uneven levels of players - what about those who can have 10 of each building - how is that fair for gameplay when they can have 10 each if buildings that drop space launch items.

9 condors? Yeah youre a glutton for punishment. I currently only fly 2, but I do not use f20 at all in my daily flying, so it makes it manageable. Not sure what will happen in the future; one can only hope that the new developments of GI will counter these game changers.
Ivan unfortunately gets the brunt of the backlash, but he is just a messenger (and a thorough one at that...thanks Ivan), so it really isn't fair for him. Wish the bosses themselves would join the forum to really get a snapshot of what their changes are doing. I want them to make money, but I still think that a better compromise can be made to benefit everyone. I know Im saying the same thing over and over, but it's my way of coping

I'm close to 3-starring my condor flights, so I'll be delegating all my flights for maps soon, unless we get a special destination on alliance flights. Hopefully, I can reduce the number of condors flying then, and won't need so much fuel.

It would be nice if the GI decision makers would visit the forum - but maybe they have and decided the changes need to happen anyway. I wish the gold subscriptions were offered on windows games - but not sure I could afford it anyway as I am on a fixed income.

Complete agreement. If restrictions are imposed on everyone - so let's even the odds - in land buildings. If I can not keep stock in stock - give me land for the construction of the building or the opportunity to improve it at the expense of the Bank, Kozino and forgot that there was a third. I spent years hoarding items to start the maps and I will take them?

I've been playing for almost 4 years and do not have 100 items limit. I've also collected a large number of items - hundreds, and sometimes thousands. I cannot say I need all of those - buildings just keep producing . So, what I am curious about is the following - will 100 limit make gifting pretty much useless because I will not be able to accept any of the gifts for probably months?

At the rate events are coming you'll be able to accept and use event items only

Interesting enough, I dont even care about other players having 10 buildings. It is an advantage to them, but I still get by just fine, and that advantage they have isn't a difference in gameplay. Of course the item limit is the complete opposite

I wonder in what way the 100 item limit benefits them? I would love to be the fly on the wall in that room to see how that limit works its way down to the bottom line cash flow. With existing players, GI makes their money through greenies, subscriptions, and direct in-game purchases (events, etc.). Would be interesting to see how those sources of income are affected

While we're on the topic of evening out the playing field: all players should be able to send F20. I've been playing for 2.5 years and only had F20 for about a month between two updates. After the update it went back to 10 pax.

 

[jmsammons415]

Just a quick note: doing the three is almost impossible even WItHOUT the limit
Only very high end players can manage it. this being said, doing 2 is quite manageable

I have the limit and can usually do 2 tasks pretty comfortably each week.
