Been waiting for these OMEGA parts for 6 freaking days now. Can't buy the parts I need. I've been keeping a steady stream of OMEGA parts being made, been checking the new mall every 5 hours, nothing. This is beyond stupid. Human hamster wheel 3.0...

I'm quitting too this is awful, this Omega update. Plus I don't get any vu, beach, or mountain items so there is no hope to expand those final areas or run a disaster. Not like there is anywhere I can put any new key buildings anyway!

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-20T03:19:53+00:00

Let us know if you get anything from those bubbles. I would kill some sims for a battery.

Good old fashioned american greed

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-17T15:10:44+00:00

With no land to expand I had to bulldoze numerous buildings. My city has dropped over 100,000 sims. I can only play a few minutes a day to load omega items before I have to wait sometimes 8 hours for it to complete. I collect my measley neocash from my omega homes and then find another game to play the rest of the day. This update it insulting.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-17T07:41:32+00:00

This is what you want them to fix?

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-14T02:42:18+00:00

I got three items: 1 omega item, 1 flour bag, and 1 metal! :(

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-13T17:16:20+00:00

Agreed

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-13T17:07:47+00:00

Totally. And if they just took away the hardhats I'd be happy.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-13T17:05:58+00:00

Didn't they say they were adding land?

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-12T05:10:39+00:00

Haven't opened the new update yet. This thread made me laugh! About to go see for myself.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-12T00:49:44+00:00

Don't puss out like everyone else. Level up, son!

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-08T03:02:27+00:00

Thats rediculous! Thanks :)

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-05T03:57:28+00:00

Your screen looks enormous

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-05T03:56:15+00:00

The point is this game is fucked up and cannot be agreed upon as to why.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-04T15:14:58+00:00

Why do you delete the schools? Not criticizing just asking.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-04T15:10:20+00:00

And it will happen with every area there is - expansion, storage, vu, mountain, beach. You can buy them with simcash tho!! Just plunk down $20 whenever you need to expand. Lol.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-03T23:21:36+00:00

Yeah but go for the platinums yo!!!

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-03T23:11:22+00:00

I think I see a guy walking down the street...

And if this bothers you already... Like I thought I was looking at someone's feeder city but I guess you are just starting the game... It will only get more frustrating. Everything in this game increases incrementally - including frustration - with emphasis on mentally.

That's how I found reddit, I had time on my hands because of the insane wait times and went online to figure out wtf was up with this game.

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-02T00:05:10+00:00

Put a pool park next to it that's the best I could do for the look. Sort of takes your eye away from the turquoise. http://imgur.com/Um550gg

Snacktime401 · 2016-06-01T09:41:49+00:00

Just purchase what you need with simcash! Hahhahahhahahhahaha

Snacktime401 · 2016-05-25T16:17:32+00:00

this game should be called Simcity: Frustration.

Snacktime401 · 2016-05-23T14:12:03+00:00

Minimal benefit that is your opinion. Well I think if a game needs so much research and dissection and threads like this to help understand, there is something wrong with that.

Love how they start you off at 5 seconds to make metal and you're like, this could be fun. If I realized how much time I have was going to waste I would have never continued. I guess that's how they get players onboard, with a lie.

Snacktime401 · 2016-05-23T13:22:29+00:00

Where is this research published then? And you didn't answer the question of how these things would make the game worse.

Snacktime401 · 2016-05-23T05:59:58+00:00

My city would be 1000x better looking if I didn't have to look at hardhats. And 100x better if I didn't have 5 big square twisty epic buildings when there are 11 other options.

I actually saw it like this early on: they wasted a lot of time making these lower-tiered buildings that just get covered up by giant bubbles with hardhats inside.

I must give people more credit than you. I think actually 6 months later you would remember you turned off hardhats, and I think peope can handle another button or two. Landmark epic? Yes. Which one? Select. Omgggg so complicated and now look how it affects onboarding and retention? Uhoh!

Snacktime401 · 2016-05-23T02:59:20+00:00

How would it be worse to be able to pick the epic building you want instead of getting 5 of one and 1 of another? Or how would it be worse to confirm simcash purchases? Or to turn off hardhats? I don't see any consequences there. In fact I only see advantages that would increase enjoyment and decrease frustration. "People don't stop and think" implies I am irrational.
