7.0 Update Preview

[Brodyaga]

I was looking at the spreadsheet where I track the game progress. The number of pretty much every item I have is > 100. This is probably the case for many players here. Does that mean that for indefinite amount of time we'll be out of gifting business?

In v7.0...
fix bug in players that migrated from fakebook platform to android, so that their planes appear on the runways.
It is difficult to know which New Repair / "repair and overhaul" (ремонтКО) they need.

Take P20 to the masses, as you have done in video ad reward play.
F20 / T20 for P20 would stimulate trade.
Most feel Fuel 20 for Passenger 10 is imbalanced.

What is the point of increasing the number of gifts, as gifts will go to waste since most players will have more than 100?

Most modern airports have more than two runways, so is the reduction to two an ACM?

What is the anticipated player loss projection? Obviously less than player inflow.

Yes. Lot of us in the same boat. Going to run down a couple of items by flights so can target gift requests more precisely. Will be complicated at the beginning but not insurmountable

Most modern airports might have more than two runways, but we're still talking here about a game smoothly running on a smartphone that takes less than 500 Mb of space. As in — some trade-overs have to be made.

I guess it would still be an imbalanced trade
F20 is much more important than an hypothetical p20
With 22 units of fuel you can trigger a 80 passengers flight...
So in terms of balance, I would say that f20 may match p50

This is true, but pax are far easier to come by than fuel.

Exactly
And due to that, I think the best solution was to wipe out p10 from the gifting list and give everyone the ability to send f20

Amen

 

[zoutron]

I will say, I don't like that my main can't send f20. Either when people send it to me or when they all for fuel only I feel cheap sending them an f3

Alliance is without chat till today when every game with Alliances feature has it, Alliances are like Airport city game without this forum, Don't you think Alliance chat was more important than these new cosmetic makeovers?

@AJ , you are are not quite fair about the chat, This game has since day 1 (for android) a powerful chat of 16 characters embedded in the username. It allows us hard thinking about the abrevations meaning and finally let us develop an efficient language based on words with 2 signs. it tooks several year to implement this complex tool on iOS and I am pretty sure that 7.0 will extend its capabilities to 20 characters at least.

That’s why I don’t. Generally I wait until they change the name with something I can give on

If someone has f(20) as the only item listed, I will usually send fuel catalyst or some flight item that seems appropriate for their level. I used to spend the time looking at signatures, but so many people don't bother to complete them, so I don't bother to look anymore.

You know that actually brings to mind an interesting idea, as I myself use the 'code' and have to choose what abbreviations I can squeeze in.

I can understand the difficulty of a full chat function, but what about adding something on the profile page that is editable like the username, kind of like how we have a signature here on the forums....this could be maybe 20-30 characters where we could list items we would like to receive or even a way to reach out to our alliance members to specify weekly goals...
I wonder if this has been considered, as it seems like it would be a really nice feature that would definitely help in bridging the lacking and much needed ability to communicate.

Yes I do the same, I am forever in need of Fuel Catalysts as I fly many condors and that 1.5hrs saved is definitely as valuable, if not more than F20.

But to also add, I do feel all should have F20, this was something discussed in great length years back when Gi! switched up our gifts with an update, then later switched them back. I still miss that month where I could send fuel 20....I get so much less Fuel 20 as gifts because I can't send it back, compared to my husband that can send Fuel 20.

If you give tools to do something, you can be certain they'll be abused by someone. If you provide huge editable spaces, the next day there'll be links all over to child's porn or illegal drug sales, or whatever that is illegal and could lead to the game being a considered a hub for such kind of activity by law enforcement agencies. To counter this, you can either have a huge support/moderator team to clean this 24/7 or you just don't get into it because you don't have the kind of budget Facebook has.

By the way, the 7.0 preview is a preview, not a full list of features, because we're still tweaking things. For example, I'm not yet sure about the beta, but final 7.0 for sure will come not only with all new looks for planes, but with all new sounds for them as well — and they do sound a lot better than now.

MMhmm yes, I could see how this could happen...and imagine that is why the new complaint feature was added recently to the game as sometimes people put some not so pleasant things in their username. I have moderated many games and forums over the years and I know how tedious the process of blocking certain words or phrases becomes. It's amazing how clever people can be, especially when they are up to no good. Thank you for answering my pondering.

Meh... as I always play with no sounds nor music, that feature won’t be a thrill to me. But I guess lots of people do like playing with those on

I was just thinking this exact same thing. I think the only time I have ever heard the sounds is when a patch resets my settings and it's almost ominous like, "omg what else reset?!?"

Nice! Vlad the sound guy finally employed full time!
