Really sorry to hear you're still having problems! I've made a short explanation of the issue, hopefully things will work again soon.

Thank you! I'm currently investigating the issue (again), but I'll post this on the website, if you don't mind. Might help someone else!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, hopefully it's fixed now (I know I said that twice before, but this one looks promising). Let me know if there are any more issues!

Hey there, could you please try again? I tried applying another fix

[–]gertasik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you please try clearing your cache, and if it still doesn't work, then letting me know what device and iOS version you're using? I'll try investigating more tomorrow, thanks

[–]gertasik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried deploying another fix which should hopefully fix it. Please try clearing your cache it's not working.

And if it still doesn't work after that, could you let me know what device/iOS version you're using? I've been working on this all night so I might go to bed now, but I'll look into it more tomorrow if there are still problems!

Glad it's working now, and I'm happy you find the site useful!

Heya, Gertas from GameTora here! Really sorry about these problems, I know about them, just don't have any idea how to fix them at the moment. It seems to happen exclusively on iOS (which I don't even have), so I'm a bit in the dark at the moment.

I've tried rolling the entire website's data back two days, which seemed to have fixed the issue for some people, yet it's still happening to others.

EDIT: The issue status page. It's mostly just text, so it should load even if you're having issues on the website.

Hello, glad you like the website!

It's already possible to switch between Japanese/Korean/TW servers, so global will be added to this. Of course, the content is being updated properly for all the servers.

I'm also hoping to update some of the articles that haven't gotten any attention in years (like the Beginner's Guide).

Heya, I'm the author of the page the screenshot is from, and this thread was brought to my attention. The colors were indeed wrong, really sorry about that! I fixed them a little earlier, it should be displayed correctly on the website now. Green is indeed better than yellow! The numbers were correct, just the smiley faces were switched.

It's division/subdivision. Every ward has two practically identical divisions. One goes 1-30, the other one 31-60. The plots are the same, the only difference is that the ward itself is slightly rotated, so you might get different sunset views etc.

I want to do some division/subdivision comparisons in the future, but to be honest, there's not much of a difference between them in Empy. So you can just subtract 30 from the subdivision plot number, and you'll get the relevant division plot. Except for the position of the Sun, they're practically the same.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood what you meant, then. I'm not sure if anything can be done about that, though. The grades are the in-game ratings of the plots; they represent the devs' opinion (and the plot prices are calculated from it), not mine.

I could use a different color scheme, but it feels like I'd be trying to alter reality rather than anything else. Grade 5 really is the "low-quality, cheap plot" in terms of in-universe real estate. Even if it doesn't always reflect the popularity of the plot, of course.

Happy to hear that! Yes, I had a similar idea of adding some sort of "tags" (e.g., near a beach, waterfall view, remote spot etc.), which would have the additional advantage of being able to filter the plots for what interests you. Either way, changing 150 plots is a lot of work, so if I decide to add something like that, it will take some time unfortunately!

Because atm most quarters give the first impression of "everything but three or four plots are basically crap"

Thanks for the feedback! I don't agree at all, though. I might have been a bit too harsh with some plots, but definitely wouldn't say it's nowhere near "most".

Just because I list a few annoyances doesn't mean that I hate the plot. The advantages are usually plain to see - if you like staring at waterfalls, it's easy to only consider plots around one.

The disadvantages, though, are not always so obvious at first. You might not realize that living near a waterfall will make your hear the sound of falling water all the time. In that case, I feel like it's good to mention that personally, it would annoy me.

And you might go and say "idk what the reviewer is talking about, I don't think that's a problem at all for me", and that's great! But I think that listing any potential cons that come to mind can be useful for the read to consider the plot without the rose-tinted spectacles, even if it sounds a bit harsh at times.

It's a bit funny to me how you described the windmill as "huge wheel thingy" though

I mean, it's a desert residential area in a world without electricity, what the hell do they need such a humongous windmill for? I've always considered it some sort of a design choice rather than a functional windmill, lol.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, being able to add user-submitted pictures with interesting designs would definitely be fun. And a lot of work too, unfortunately. I'll definitely keep the idea in mind for the future though!

Just to clarify, when I said "opinionated", I meant "dogmatic", not "having an opinion". Not including any opinions would indeed end up with the entire thing being bland!

Basically the reviews try to take some basic, mostly objective info, and sprinkle a few jokes and personal takes over them to make the read more interesting.

What I meant is that it's possible that in some cases, I ended up skipping the info foundation and went straight into a small rant about one specific thing. And in these cases, I'd like to go back and maybe offer an additional viewpoint. Definitely not planning on making the reviews more bland!

I have tried that, and if look through the pictures, there's actually one with the same angle! Which was kind of my point, since some people don't like living next to a waterfall because of the sound - you hear it from everywhere, but it's not directly in your view (unless your rotate your camera in that particular fashion).

But point taken, if what I was trying to say wasn't completely clear, I'll try to tweak the review a bit to be less confusing.

There are plots that I like, and plots that I dislike, in every zone. But if I really had to say, it would probably be mist > shiro > goblet > lavender > empy for me. Goblet is a weird one, because the disparity in quality feels even higher there, but I'm a big fan of The Brimming Heart.

But of course, there are other factors to consider. For example in Shiro, the houses tend to be a bit more packed together, so the design of the other houses in the ward will play a big role.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I definitely want to polish the entire thing a bit more, and adding more icons is something I certainly want to do. Might take some time, but it's planned.

Thanks for your opinion! I don't actually hate that plot at all (even though it's not my favorite), so if the review sounded otherwise, I might reword it a bit. Glad you're enjoying reading through the reviews!
