MUSEUM v DOCK POLL

[Ulysses]

MUSEUM v DOCK POLL: Ok we've had the Museum for about a week now. There are posts here about how folks like/dislike aspects of the Museum, and about what happened to the Dock (mostly the benefits that disappeared to make space for Museum stuff, like no more diamonds, peace treaties, wall blessings, first aid blessings, or crop blessings from expeditions). It feels like this is worth quantifying for Nexon.

Are we just whining? Is it safe for Nexon to ignore it and the complaints will go away? Or does this actually matter to us?

Please keep it constructive. The Nexon guys do read this stuff. Sure, they're a company so they have a boss who's paid on a profit bonus. But their devs are regular guys & girls who want to create a cool game while taking home a salary. Vote, say what you feel, make positive suggestions.

Thanks all!

I’m waiting for the ‘’will museum polls have better success for change than Marco Polo polls?’’ poll.
No offense Ulysses.

Not trying to sway anyone's opinion but here are my first thoughts...

Museum - stuff I like
1. Benefits are big enough to have a real impact on battles
2. Five different benefits can affect different parts of your army. Players can get different artefacts to match their style of play
3. Doesn't need workers
4. Slow burn. There is no way to get around needing (lots of) blueprints to advance each benefit. Might stop whales from paying to get +20% in the first week

Museum - stuff I'm not so sure about
1. I loved the peace treaties and blessings from the Dock. And spent a lot of time to grow my Dock to get them (yup, that's me up there). Please give em back guys. It matters
2. Artefacts are a hackers wet dream. If somebody ever figures out how to design their own artefact and how to add silly values to them, it'll be game over for honest players

Museum - questions & suggestions?
1. Artefacts start with +1%, +6% or +11% for each benefit. Does all subsequent work only get +1% more? Or can this be bumped sometimes?
2. Transparency. Sometimes it's hard to get some GMs to understand when something is broken in battles. The bottom line can get to "trust us, it's fine" or "trust us, we know, we'll fix it". Artefacts add a, possibly massive, skew to battles. So there's now a new excuse that your attacker/defender "probably had an artefact". When a battle result is surprising and doesn't make any sense, I'd like to figure out why the result was the way it was. So I can improve my attacks & defenses. Like how we can see which coalitions are switched on in world wars. Please show a summary of active enemy artefact stats during replays (thanks )

Haha, fair point Manifesto. But I'll take it, so long as you actually click a vote above ;-)
If only a few folks care about something, then I reckon it's fair for Nexon to believe that nobody really minds...

PS. Thanks bud!

 

[Bedlam]

If you think nexon cares about (or reads) polls,then you are fooling yourself. Dont forget that everyone at Nexon are 'super' excited about the future of dominations.

 

[Ulysses]

Hey Bedlam, isn't one of Nexon's offices in California? Those CA guys are 'super' about everything, lol. Kinda like Tim Cook at a WWDC.

Yeah, maybe I'm kidding myself. But I reckon if a poll came in 20:1 that the Dock matters to us, then either Nexon will lock or delete this post. Or they'll actually listen to it... Reading through their patch lists, they do 'fix' stuff when it's broken. So we gotta speak up if we want them to improve something.

Please vote bud

I wish they implemented other ways to generate Museum resources and restore the Shipyard rewards to what they used to be.

 

[Manifesto]

I don't know, any fix, correction or change to something that didn't go as intended should not undervalue the whole concept.

ps: could'nt help myself!

 

[kagerou783]

I do not think you can compare them, these "buildings" are totally different.

 

[Maurmo]

Hate the fact we have lost the peace treaties and the like.

 

[Ulysses]

From the looks of it, 75% of players* are with you Maurmo!

We know that Nexon read this stuff. I'm interested to see if they'll actually listen to 75% of their players.

It takes a big man (or woman) to admit that their original decision could be made better.

Keep the faith, let's see...

*19% liked the Dock and want blessings/peace treaties/diamonds back (please) plus 56% would like Nexon to ADD the Museum without taking away blessings/peace treaties/diamonds from the Dock. Only 25% don't care about the Dock

Let's hope so. Nexon are fond of ''re-balancing'', as they call it!

25% of the handful that bothered to vote. Yes, I'm looking you, rest of you!

 

[Cannibals]

Perhaps they should remove researchers from the dock altogether and make the university generate researchers at a rate based on your level of research completed? That would make more sense.

 

[Niblick]

Love number 2, but you gotta know it’ll never happen. These guys are still trying to figure out what happened to the chat, they’re not even sure which way is up
