Give us a way to get artifacts regularly (but not easily). Make evolving building bases available once for free (as it is now), and the following ones buyable for real money.
Pros :
What would be the new way to get artifacts ? I'm mainly thinking of two possibilities :
Pros :
- Allows new players to get access to old evolving buildings (again, the current way to give us such opportunities is terrible and unreliable, 2:1 ratio only offered once a year requires 2 years to get old evolving building, and this is if you get et the recipes and if the exchange rate doesn't become 4:2:1 next year (what I'm really afraid of, as these days we can't trust Inno to not destroy balance))
- Would be a great source of income for Inno (I think some players would pay quite a lot for a second Fire Phoenix, especially if they eventually have the artifacts to evolve it in inventory).
- Keeps the current balance of grand prizes in events : you can get one evolved building for free, the second requires premium
- Would greatly increase the number of people with several fire phoenixes, which could create balancing issues
What would be the new way to get artifacts ? I'm mainly thinking of two possibilities :
- Allowing any artifact to be converted into an "Artifact Shard", and then you can use 2 (or 3) shards to evolve any building. I'm not sure how it would affect participation in FA, but currently I think many of us feel forced to do all FAs so that everyone in th FS gets level 10 evolving building. With this new system we could skip some FAs, and use leftover artifacts from other FAs to get the occasional missing level. This would possibly create more enjoyment in FA. (And, in case they don't know, more enjoyment = less players quitting = more income). We could also skip evolving buildings we're not interested in and use th event to partially evolve an older building we're more interested in. A con of this is that if they stop releasing evolving buildings, we'd be back in a situation where we can't get old artifacts.
- Offering artifact shards (or random artifacts, but this would be considered as too random for anyone except the devs) as a final reward of the Spire, which would increase incentive in doing this. However, this may greatly reduce participation in FA.
