@darrallc: Same here. I was wanting to hop on and work with my BRAND NEW CITIES!!!!(tm) but I'm being show the tutorial again. Reload the page, same thing. I think, "okay, whatever, maybe I can just change realms and get back to it." NOPE! 76, the realm I'm on, doesn't even show up on the list. Either I get access to my account in that realm, or I am done with this game. I'm NOT re-building.
When the Age of Cities happens, we have to take the realm down for about an hour. (That's in the FAQ we sent to everyone in email, but we'll try to be clearer next time by giving a day-before head's up on the down time).
A lot of people have been talking about how the repair mechanic is an energy thing and while I agree it is not fun, especially when I'm burning 2-3 points per trip and I have only 27 points(meaning I can only make 9-13 trips depending), that isn't my main issue. What I personally hate is the LIMITED FLIGHT PATHS! I just hit a spot where I will either HAVE to pay money/kreds to get more Flight Certs or pray to God that I just screw around making money until I hit level 9(when I just only hit 7)and hope it's level up bonus is said Flight Cert because I cannot continue the main story at this moment simply because I can't fly to the city I was pointed to. I wouldn't mind having limited routes(like you can only get to Cape Town from Harare)but let me get to every city in SOME fashion rather than force me to pay or do stupid stuff for like a week. Until this gets addressed, I am NOT playing the game any more. Which is a shame cause I do like it otherwise.
As Ohbye pointed out earlier: "For everyone complaining about flight paths: you can buy flight paths with only in-game money as long as the resulting routes create max two links to either city. In otherwords, you can have links as long as they don't exceed 2 so you can connect to all cities in one long path." Also you can occasionally find free Flight certs in the mystery packages that sometimes appear in the Depot.
This game is not ready to even be presented as a Beta. When I found one way to LOSE on the first fight because my Monster wasn't getting trained, which then allowed me to get myself into a broken situation in the tutorial, that's not good. The only way for me to continue playing is to have to reset the game because I've already build a Ruby Mine but the tutorial won't progress until I click on the mine in the shop, but gee golly, I can't cause I'm at the current max amount I can build. And I'm seeing other people having issues of things not taking(like clicking upgrade)yet you still pay for it. Fix these problems FIRST before thinking about letting people play your game. A beta should NOT be a replacement for Debugging.
Great and fun game, but when I continued to try and find the last fragment, the map had reset and I had no idea where the fragment could be without re-exploring the WHOLE world, simply to re-map it out. If you could make the map stay, that would be wonderful.
