I have to say that having productions in mushroom farm that take over 24 hours has reached the point of being definitely uncool.
no way anyone who's actively playing is actually gonna put the timer on 4 days
Yes, this is incredibly frustrating - I was about 10KP away from completing the research for Orc armory, now I'm 120 KP away - and on top of that, my chance of getting the rune shards I need is going to be forced to be worse. Once again, the perfectly reasonable tactical choice to forgo certain wonders so that I actually had half a chance of getting the rune shards I needed has been taken away ... sheesh.
And at what point in time would you have wanted us to do this, then?Please suspend this requirement for a few weeks.

You did it too late.And at what point in time would you have wanted us to do this, then?We already waited several weeks before we did this (that is: 1 month after the release of the Ancient Wonders for Chapter V, up until almost 2 months since the release of those of Chapter II). At what point would you find it "reasonable" or "acceptable" that we make new technologies part of the core technology tree?
The initial plan would have been with the last update (which would have collided with the release of the Orcs & Goblins entirely, as it would have been in the same version). We prevented that from happening. Earlier was not possible, because we cannot introduce technologies as part of the core when we add them earlier in the research tree. The last Ancient Wonders (Chapter V) were added with update 1.9, update 1.10 had Orcs & Goblins, and this is 1.11: the first possibility to actually do it without it colliding directly with a big feature and research tree expansion.You did it too late.
We believe that players on average will spend several months on the Orcs and Goblins part of the research tree - if we wait until the majority of players has reached that, we hope to (at least soon) release more content - we don't want players to be stuck at the very end of the research tree without anything to progress towards anymore for too long. If we would include new technologies to the core loop then, we will have similar problems, just with content after the Orcs and Goblins rather than with the actual Orcs and Goblins.What makes these Wonders so important that they have to be researched right now instead of in a few weeks?
You can always expect technologies that we add earlier to become part of the core technology tree at some point - especially when they are big features like new buildings with special effects, or the Tournaments (which will become part of the core too; likely with our next update). So, you can already prepare for that, if you haven't researched the Tournaments yet.Similarly, it would have been reasonable for you to do it (preferably with a couple of days' advance notice) before opening the orc chapter , if you have to do it at all. What feels punitive and unreasonable is demanding this now, when we should be excited to pursue the new technology.
... is indeed quite overratedWe believe that players on average will spend several months
