Quote: PicoMy problem is it takes time to get the Kudos. It's that the game became work. Personally I think games like this are better designed to allow me to pop in and out for 5-10 minutes rather than sit down and slog through a 60 minutes of click a name, find the shiny, rinse/repeat.
My morning routine was to fire up the Kurig and start clicking through my collections and missions while I finished a cup of coffee. Now I'm going to have to fire up the full pot just to get through all the Kudos collecting.
What's going to really piss me off is when they offer a new companion that automatically collects your island Kudos for 3000 gems. This just reeks of a setup to add another big ticket money sink into the game. I've never had a problem with the premium item but this one might be too much.
Btw, while I'm complaining congrats to those who got a free Thump house. I'm a little irritated they didn't refund gems to those of us that bought it at full price. I don't have issues when they offer things at reduced rates after I paid full price but it's pretty annoying when they eventually offer it for free.
THIS! I stopped playing the game about two weeks ago because collecting everything started to feel like too much work, and it was hard to just "check in and out". I'm fine with them giving bonuses for using the social features and this update doesn't actually sound that bad... But they've added little things over time so I need to spend about 5-10 minutes
just to collect things in my kingdom. I just wish there were some ultimate way to collect everything at once, but they lock it to companions, and I've spent so much on them and saved gems up for more useful things like houses, so I either choose between adding a convenience or not buying what I'd like to be convienence-ing. I simply want to go in and have my things collected, then re-activate stuff. I don't want to need to clear troll camps, Chompy pods and so on. Even with Cape Girl(who I caved on since she's so cheap), it's tedious. Collecting and re-gifting itself feels primitively slow, which is what many aspects of the game felt like before- there will inevitably be a 1000s of gems Kudos collector. If I wanted a collect-a-thon like the game is feeling now, I'd just quit and play the console games, which is what I'm going to be doing.
