Four suggestions regarding the Prizes and their recent and sudden update.
The first are two ideas that I think would make happy all the parts:
(1) THE FIRST IDEA is to add a new label at the lighthouse. It could be called Bermuda's Prizes (or whatever). And clicking at this label you would go to the new Prizes.
So, the Lighthouse will have (i) (Targets) (Prizes) (Bermuda's Prizes) (Adventures) and (Tresaure Islands)
You will have players playing the previous Prizes, players playing the news Prizes, and players playing both.
It doesn't need much work since you have already the previous algorithm.
Furthermore this allows you to change the new prizes further if desired without disappoint the (used to the previous prizes) players.
In addition, Bermuda is an attractive name and could have an attractive history.
(2) THE SECOND IDEA would be to add the new algorithm to the low range level of the Prizes. Say the prizes from level 0 to 30 would behave like the new ones and from level 31 and up would behave like the previous ones. This make it easy for the new players and old school players will enjoy the Prizes as always.
If the Prizes will not be changed you could:
(3) PUT ONE PRIZE LEVEL 0. Just once. This Prize if hit with a single marauder (or whatever single unit) will reset your bank prizes to 0, returning you, everything you have in there in units.
So in this way, those that don't like these new Prizes, like my-self, can stop to play them and focus in other parts of the Game and enjoy it again.
General Suggestion regarding sudden changes:
(4) NEXT TIME YOU WANT to do a major change, inform previously your customers. It will avoid trouble and will avoid to make unhappy them. It is very unfair to pay for some product and receive another product. It is very unfair to change the rules in a middle of a tournament.
Thank you!
1&2 - Declined. See the original post.
3. Declined. Our Prize system works differently - You invest Units and receive a payout when the time comes., You can't just get a payout whenever you want.
4. We always inform our players of some major changes. However, there are some changes which we will not inform you of in advance. Moreover, we didn't change the rules for your current Prizes which you have already touched.
