Buildings in inventory should convert to the latest era when placed

[DeletedUser4800]

Hi there, I have several special buildings from previous ages that I've kept in my inventory, one since the iron age, I think it should only be logical and right to have the buildings convert to the latest age when you place them.

They've sat in my inventory and I haven't had the place to put them, but I don't think players should be punished for saving their buildings in their inventory and as such buildings need to convert to the latest age when placed from the inventory to your city!

Do you expect a pottery (that was won from the Summer Event) to be converted to a butcher if you progress to the Iron Age and you kept it in your inventory? I understand that you are mainly talking about special buildings, but I don't think it's going to happen

 

[DeletedUser96901]

but I don't think players should be punished for saving their buildings in their inventory

punished would be that your iron age build became a bronze age building when building
but you get what you won: where is the punishment :confused:

so you want a reward for not building them earlier
that is something completely different thing than getting punished :eek:

and there is already a feature implemented to get your old buildings into your current age:
it is called renovation kit :p

but converting buildings in the inventory into your age would be a punishment for all players who build them and didn't keep them in the inventory :eek:
so why do you want to punish all those players :confused:

I think it should only be logical and right to have the buildings convert to the latest age when you place them

no it is not logical:
logical would be to build them when you won them :p

I think Test Ament has covered everything with his post there.

You are awarded a building according to the age YOU ARE IN WHEN YOU GET IT.

if you don't want to build it thats your choice, If I win a Mini in a prize draw and put it in my garage for 6 months I can't really expect to have a Ferrari when I decide to drive it out of the garage 6 months later, can I.?

This is a game, not real life, sorry to break your bubble. Iron age statue that gives 50 happiness can easily be converted to PME and give 200 happiness or whatever. It would make sense and allow these buildings second chance.

 

[DeletedUser96901]

why insulting other players :eek:

and those buildings already got their second chance:
it is called RENOVATION KIT

and why only giving buildings in the inventory a second chance?
already build buildings would have the same right to get it

if i had special event buildings in my inventory i'd either build them when i got them and get max use from them at the time as they would probably be better on a 1x1 tile basis than any other building i had already built in the same category (house, supply, happiness etc)

to me, letting them get out of date in your inventory is not maximising their potential. storing them away serves no purpose but hey ho, you play your way, I'll stick to my way and we're both happy

Stop with your garbage please! No one is interested in what you have to say

 

[DeletedUser96901]

nobody is interested in the garbage you have in your inventory

you don't want to build it: your problem
you want it better: use a renovation kit :p

but you sure don't get the reward of getting it upgraded to your age for free

 

[DeletedUser96867]

Have to agree with Test Ament and akbhoy67 on this. Buildings not increasing in age in your inventory is not a punishment as buildings you have built already in your city do not automatically increase in age either.

Sorry but it does not. The developers already made a solution for this called a "renovation kit" to upgrade already placed rewards.

I do not see a reason why they would implement some magical trick to upgrade previous rewards on Age Progression nor onhow to make any sense of it.

Edit:

^ this pretty much

All I see is jealous kiddies who wasted all their rewards and now have empty inventories and for that reason alone don't want buildings in inventories to upgrade to the age you place them to if you've kept them all this time.

As far as renovation kit that is not a solution, you can't earn it regularly, you can't buy it, so you have to hope you get it in one of the random events. Chances of getting it on the wheel or whatever is 1% and then getting it from there is 5%. Very low chances if you ask me, so that is not the solution.

I have at least 10 special buildings I can place from my inventory that could be upgraded. This would be a great feature for the game and give life to some of those old winnings.

 

[DeletedUser5180]

What's all the insults to fellow posters / players all about.? @ SlickR

You (in your latest post) call us jealous kiddies? I'd say there's only one poster acting like a kiddie on this thread fella.

If you win a special building, it usually is better than the corresponding building you will get in the build menu for your current age. Most players would (if they had no space) delete a standard building and replace with the better special event building. Even if it did not give out much more supplies, coins, happiness or whatever just the fact it is a special building and different to what you already have would make most want to build it.

So you are in Iron Age for example along with 100 other players, they all place their new special event building when they win it, you don't.......fast forward 9 months and now in colonial age, 100 players still have an Iron Age building, you suddenly decide to build yours and expect a colonial building, then create a fuss and start insulting folk because your told no, it's still an iron age building

Haha, spoilt kiddie throwing toys out of the pram springs to mind.

From my experience in the game the majority of players are not kiddies and because others disagree with you it doesn't make them jealous. I understand why you would want it but it teeters on the making the game easier so I think very unlikely it would ever be changed. There have been other suggestions with regard to unwanted/obsolete items in the inventory including being able to the sell them. Either to other players or to receive coin/supplies.

The renovation kit will do what you want so try and target that if it is in the next event. Most events if the correct tactics are used do allow you to target certain prizes even if there is still an element of luck to winning them.

the real kiddies are the one who aren't happy with there prizes and now the want more :eek:

that would be a great feature for YOU because you don't see that there is already another feature they don't like :eek:
but a punishment to all players who already build their winnings :eek:

you can say whatever you want:
YOU WON'T GET A FREE UPGRADE FOR YOUR BUILDINGS
better you accept that

As far as renovation kit that is not a solution, you can't earn it regularly, you can't buy it, so you have to hope you get it in one of the random events.

that 1% is 1% more than the chance of your idea

and finally you are the jealous one:
because you don't want your inventory buildings how they are but seeing all the other ones who have build them ages ago

Flaming/insulting as a result of someone disagreeing with you... Ever heard of projection?

You aren't supposed to win/use renovation kits regularly. They are supposed to be rare so players have to make a "tactical choice" wether they focus on getting a better building during events or upgrade the ones already placed.

You seem to forget that (most) special buildings give massive boosts compared to anything else you can build in that age (with the exception for ME/PME players probably, although WW have been improved lately wich is great). You decided not to use your rewards given by Events and now you expect to be rewarded for it... that's just not logical.

it can be logical
he kept his buildings in the past in his inventory and knowing already at that point that he will make this suggestion thread

Flaming/insulting as a result of someone disagreeing with you...

not the first time in this thread :eek:

maybe he think he can win with it when not having more arguments :eek:

I have a much better feature and sure more player are for this idea:
auto-upgrading event buildings when reaching a new age

this would be a great feature for the game and give life not only to old winnings in the inventory but to all old winnings

 

[DeletedUser4800]

Cry some more, its not my fault you have empty inventories. This is a great feature to give life to old buildings that are in your inventory who are not wroth it being placed as an iron age or CA age in the PME as I am.

 

[DeletedUser7719]

Actually, my inventory is filled quite some things. I do want to place them, but I have been too lazy and not have gotten enough time to plan out my city with them:

Spoiler

My first page was filled with mainly normal buildings :p

*Moves the mental note of planning my city to the front of my to-do list :p*

 

[Rosletyne]

Cry some more, its not my fault you have empty inventories. This is a great feature to give life to old buildings that are in your inventory who are not worth it being placed as an iron age or CA age in the PME as I am.

It is also not our fault that you did not use your reward buildings back when they were good, while most of us did. Whining about it now while insulting everyone who disagrees with you is also not earning you any favors. There is no logical reason why unused items in your inventory should improve over time, this is not the correct forum for posting such suggestions in the first place, and your abusive posting has all but guaranteed that no one will ever support this idea.

By the way, the probabilities you gave for getting Renovation Kits had nothing to do with reality. In the Summer Casino I saw them from time to time, considerably more often than in 1% of the wheels, and when they appeared, thanks to saving my tickets I had a 100% chance of winning not just one but four of them. Even if you had just one ticket the probability would have been 1/9, or 11%, more than twice the 5% you claimed.
