City Heroes Forge improvement

As it stands, Heroes forge is underwhelming with respect to orcs production.

Would it be hard to give it an "early collect" feature so that it gets at least marginally more useful ?

The number of orcs you would get in 24 hours would still be exactly the same. All that would do is let you get some sooner.

only if you can collect at exactly 24h, otherwise you get a delay and at some point the delay will increase significantly when the collection time would be during the night. And if you can't collect in the morning, only in the afternoon or later (some have jobs, unbelievable, isn't it!?) then you might lose more than 12h from a collection to the next one.

This often happens to me with everything what has no early pick up.
The pick up time almost constatntly moves - sometimes for a few minutes sometimes for a few hours, sometime jumps from evening to morning.

Well, you know how it is, there are so many things to collect on different cycles, you're rarely on time to get them all precisely when they become available.... so early collect gives you de facto a better yield. Especially for 24 hours thingy which will tend to "drift" out of available windows (night and other obligations) so that you get the actual production every 26 hours, on average.

I figure these things loop about once a week, so your 26 hour average is pretty good. But totally agree, early collection feature would be good.

I think a bigger problem with the forge is that its production over the chapters grossly dwarfs compared to how orc demand increases so you have this huge tournament penalty for a wonder where half the wonder benefit has grossly declined with game advancement so then they give you another AW for orc.

The tournament is royally broken and there's an extreme number of examples of how so called benefits that come with huge cost to the tournament have contracted worse than the great depression. (For non English readers that's a reference to the global contraction of the money supply that happened with the 1929 stock market crash and destroyed global markets for about 10 years).
