anyone else just sticking around to see if INNO will create someting that feels like gvg ?

[Ariana Erosaire]

Alcatraz, like so many GBs is quickly becoming redundant, I was having a look at what GBs I could actually delete and to be perfectly honest there are really only 4 or 5 left that are still of any use, so I can quite happily now delete 15 or 16 GBs and not really notice any difference apart from a drop in ranking, and have never cared about that from day 1, but the amount of really powerful event buildings I have piling up in inventory, if then placed in my city would probably propel me far in advance of where I am now. INNO needs to look at really rebalancing the game and fairly quickly because it's dying the way it is

I don't think they want to rebalance the game, or rather this IS the rebalance. Where everything old is worthless and you're supposed to use $$$ to chase each shiny new over-powered thing, or buy monthly or quarterly game passes, instead of long-term strategy, or anything resembling strategy.

Even how to fit anything in your city is like... whatever, most of the new stuff doesn't need roads, 2 lane roads are a thing of the past too, as is everything off the build menu which only exists as a place to satisfy all the old quests and event quests to build things from your age.

Anyway I made a list for my guild's website and I could only come up with 7 essential and 9 that are still good, and a handful with limited uses. Everything else should be deleted soon or should never have been built.

i think if they allowed GBs to be stored at their current level instead of resetting then we would set a lot more cities with a lot less gbs, its probably quite easy for some players to delete gbs as they were given free goods & bps & fps to build them but for older players gbs took a loooong time & a lot of effort to get to high levels & it would seem such a waste to just delete then

It is always nice to see such a list and then disagree with it based on your own way of playing. Observatory essential? Not really. You can use the same argument for it as for Alca. Other buildings you use anyhow will give you the boost needed. With the introduction of the Jumpin'Pumpkin you could replace all blacksmiths you used for production quests, so you pick up a good defence boost. AO essential? Yes, except for the fact I am in Titan and doing all my fighting with SAJ units, so do I really need it? Maybe for the next age, but not right now. Seed Vault limited use? If you approach it as a diamond farm yes, but if you use it to produce goods not. Kraken no??? With Rival quests on tuesday and having to do a large number of fights, you almost have no other choice then to attack your neighbours in which case, first strike might not be to bad.

Those are just a few examples. What they show is that we are not likely to ever all agree on this and that this list can already been seen as outdated.
