Boring queue times

I have an issue with the length of build times (yes it’s been said hundreds of times before) and I feel like having a bloody good moan.

In my first city I have something with a day and a half building left, research ready in 12 hours and troops ready in 11 hours. What the hell am I supposed to do other than close my browser and wait? :(

I refuse to buy diamonds – it’s a complete waste of money. I could buy a brand new games console for my house for the amount of one of the packages. It seems like bad programming to me. On other MMORPG games I’ve played the longest I’ve had to wait for a building is just over a day and that felt like an eternity. I could even pay to end it early and it cost me a total of about 60p ($1ish).

Sort it out, Kabam!

then get a life. you dont just sit there waiting.

Of course I don’t just sit there waiting. I just think that a game where you come on once every 24 hours to stack up some more stuff and then sod off again is a bit pointless.

Then stay away from games like this.

Or just go on Youtube and watch videos until the loading is done.
Or how about going outside and playing in the sun?

The ENTIRE point of games like this (I call them facebook games) is to make you want to use cash to do stuff. Things like limited actions, limited energy, things that take a while to do, exclusive upgrades, etc. They are designed from the ground up with the devs looking at every little thing feature and game component thinking “how can we make this addictive and make people want to pay real money”.

In the case of this game, they want far too much money for things though. Many games like this, they try to get you with paying just a couple dollars here and there and you don’t think about it adding up.

Things you could do while waiting would be attacking to get more respect, or do tournaments, etc.

in its tags are TIME MANAGEMENT. that means its real time and in real life things take a while. do other stuff while waiting.

Wait times are a fact of life in games like this. It would be nice, though, if you could put a second building/research/training order in a queue. That way you could ensure a second task in each category would be completed, or at least started, when you were away having a life.

one word backyard monsters is better as long as you dont spend any shiny and buy a 3rd worker then save spend the rest on yard expansion and packing space if you think you need it
