Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 03:08 pm - Remote Depots can now harbor mobile military units. - Cargo shuttles can now land in remote depots you own in any country. - Cargo shuttles can load and unload military supplies, weapons and ammunition in depots where they land. - Cargo shuttles can unload all types of mobile military units in depots where they land. - Cargo shuttles can load all types of mobile units in depots where they land, provided these units are complete and undamaged. These units must be close (up to 25 miles) to the depot. - Mobile units in a remote depot can be dismantled into the depot. - Mobile supply units have been added as a new type mobile military unit. - Awards have been updated with the experience of the March awards to give more players a shot at a high award. It will take high award winners a little longer to fully recover their score. - Golden Rainbow world now runs 6 times every day. - More systems are upgraded. Slow down during processing is now less likely. More and massive upgrades will continue in the coming weeks. - The White Giant world is now 3 times faster than before and could run 8 - 10 game months every day. The pace will be increased from 4 to 6 game months per day in the coming weeks. The difference in the pace of the worlds is a problem when communication between the worlds is involved. Moving WG to 6 game months per day will bring all the worlds to the same pace.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 03:59 pm When I joined this game I picked Wg because it was only running 2 per day, then you increased it to 3. I do not know about the rest but I would rather you didn't bump up the rate...
| |
Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 04:56 pm It was 3 times per day from the start. The servers hardly made it on time. then 4 times and we have always explained that the number of game months each day depended on the performance of the servers.

Thursday, April 18, 2013 - 03:06 am Wow that is pretty cool for the White to have an increased month pace. Thank GameMaster, you definitely know how to run a game, I believe it will be a great upgrade into White Giant, thanks for helping to run this game, you do an amazing job at it.

Thursday, April 18, 2013 - 07:43 am Andy I dont know if its just me, but im trying to war and the game wont let me send units to a nation. I dropped a RDU, waited over 48hours and its still a depot and wont let me sent ground units over the game is blocking me from doing so. Im i missing something or is this a bug? Its reallying annoying becuase im trying to move up the WL and not being able to land ground units is a very big problem. any info would help. Please look @ the war in Melchior on LU

Saturday, April 20, 2013 - 08:09 pm Ok, from my observation: The CEOs have a reduced regain in score of 5/RL-Day instead of the 7/RL-Day as before, but I cant distinguish what the Regain-Speed is for Empires now as all the Score-Lowered Empires show no more Score-Jumps each day but a progressivly decreasing in Score-Regaining. Anyone can confirm that and have a clue about the Empire-Scores? And btw: First Place Score regaining is now up to 200 RL-Days for the 5 Score/Day for 1000 Points 1.Place reduction, instead of the 142 Days before so guess thats what Andy meant when he said it takes 'a little longer'.

Saturday, April 20, 2013 - 08:11 pm Andy, what about the 'missions' you meantioned when GC Trading was GM-ized? How's progress going on in that?

Saturday, April 20, 2013 - 08:32 pm Andy could you add soldiers and officers on direct trade ?

Sunday, April 21, 2013 - 11:23 am Someone chain Gamemaster Corporations on LU to the ground, because it is the 3rd ranked enterprise. It is interfering with the awards.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - 08:41 pm @Laguna As someone who sits as #6 ceo at the moment, that is kind of annoying :p.

Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - 06:51 pm Good news on the rewards thing: I actually got the 5th place prize even though I'm in 6th now. HOWEVER, over this past weekend and into monday and I managed to sneak into 5th before Aries passed me again so I guess it might just be that I lucked out on when they took scores. Still, Robocop's score needs a permanent nerf.

that has struck me as more of a distraction. they offered that, (semi-confrontationally) as an option to partially replace the GC market. And challenged us to offer ideas, and support. However, the fact that they offered it for discussion, in place of the GC market, but didn't actually discuss, or offer any clue as to what they where thinking, i can be confident that it was just a method to distract us from complaining about loosing a keystone game feature.

Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - 07:19 pm i think that you mess up something with Score my country on LU was on 3 place and i get 125 gold but later my score was increased for 100 points i notice that score was increased for all other players in top 10 too Here is my score: https://sim05.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=w3graph&miTable=cntrhist&miKey=701&miColumn=vCmainScore As i figure out you said that you will lower score of countries who get rewards so that other people could get rewards too PS Ty for 500 gold from awards (i earn 4. awards )

Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - 07:37 pm I still don't understand why enterprises get a far less award but the same score penalty.
| |
Thursday, May 2, 2013 - 12:12 pm Missions are not a replacement for anything that is connected to gold coins but missions will deliver all kinds of goodies to people who complete them. we did ask for ideas and did not receive any but that might change. there are some smaller features, fixes and improvements we are currently working on. Missions will be a large project and work is in fact already in progress.

right above this post
Andy, this game feature is vague, and was offered as semi-replacement feature. Clarification is needed, inorder to understand what kind of flavor you want to provide. W3C tendency to half explain things, is at fault, in relation to receiving feed back. Although, i'd be more convinced that you didn't really want feed back, you just wanted to push back with an undefined feature. Which would suggest that you are removing a feature, to add a feature. How ever, we are still waiting for tons of promised features... honestly, W3C, you guys have a tenancy to promise things you haven't thought out, to half explain your intentions, and then argue with your customer base as a means to divert us from holding you to your promised features. josias aka orbiter

Sunday, May 5, 2013 - 12:44 am missions are not vage. They are just not part of the game yet. There is no need to publish any details right now. when we are close to the first release of the missions, we will publish the documentation. The same as with the mobile units and the documentation is very detailed. It seems that people do not like to help with new functions, they like to hate them. Why start this now? we can wait until they are done. There will be a lot of time to do just that when they become part of the game.

Sunday, May 5, 2013 - 08:46 pm because, Andy, during the discussion about GC, you brought it up, and asked for feed back.
thats something you did. to calm down the situation, w/o any intention to actually provide any information.
Andy, its clear that you where really trying to bait and distract us from the main issue. but you couldn't even measure up to your half, that is, an actual discussion. rather, you pushed it out their, with no intention to living up to what you say. hoping to diminishing the fall out of removing a keystone feature. Andy, listen to me very carefully. many players will eventually loose things that they have literally spent years building. we deserve more than the run around.

Monday, May 6, 2013 - 09:11 pm I aksed for ideas on missions and none showed up. distraction? Long time players like to complain about all the new features so we asked them to participate. We tried to start a discussion, not specify what the plan is, just asked for others to come up with ideas and ..... nothing happened. we are now largely beyond that point, but ideas remain welcome. It has nothing to do with gold coins.
| |
Monday, May 6, 2013 - 11:01 pm Well, thanks for not deleting, or banning me, first off. I'm stunned, to tell the truth, in a pleasant way. But the actual discussion, again thanks, but you are digging yourself a pit.
from W3C - Gold Coins in Simcountry
Andy, including my statement, that makes 4 statement/questions, from 4 different players, that where blown off. And you continue to say you received NO feedback. It just simply isn't true. you even stated that you didn't specify anything. and it would be clear by each responce that we are looking for more info. your refusal to provide that, and your denial of our comments, in relation to a feature you asked for feed back on, is atrocious. stop giving us the run around.

how are we suppose to react, when you make it clear your not interested in what we say? not only that, you are vague. and refuse to provide more detail. just the statement "missions," certainly carry a jist of what you meant. But their are many ways to interpret that! leaving it like that, is vague, and blowing of every comment, only furthers what you said...
how are we suppose to get behind it? when you don't give us enough info on it? and blow off everything we say? this was presented as something to discuss instead of the removal of the GC market. So yes, a distraction. which, i'd be ok with, if you'd hold up to your end, and actually discuss the feature, instead of deigning what any one says. don't you get, that by treating us like this, it only makes things worse!

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 12:11 am Well I'm mostly concerned about where my birthday present is from Andrew......my adopted son. I just knew I would have a 200 gc deposit in my account!!!! lol :P Now there is an idea, Andrew. GC gifts at players' birthdays. See how nice I am. I'm willing to share the gold. Also, half price GC sales!!! Ooooooooh the ideas I possess!!! Love you all!

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 03:37 pm Josias, you misunderstand my comments. I was not looking for feedback. we did not say so much and did not look for reactions to OUR ideas. These are as usual: Not needed, does not fit this game and so on. no. we asked for new ideas. not ours, yours. we did not wait for anybody to tell us what will not fit the game, but what they think will be nice to have in missions. Jark, remove all corporations, drop social security and fight some like a real dictator. win wars, steal their money and get rich. As to gold coins: Many players have gold coins and use them. many beginners too.
