More Strain For British Based Players

  • So recently i've been playing missionchief but after about 5 minutes of playing i then have to stop because calls are requiring to many specialist units units e.g hazmat and platform trucks. The calls being added may be suitable for American players and also for players in the UK with more than one county covered but for some of us we can't expand anymore into other regions. The alliance i'm in when i joined was always busy with players but recently i have seen a decline in users online due to the game having little updates and becoming more difficult to play due to some calls needing units they don't have. Yes i could always expand my own county to cope with these calls but i prefer to play as realistic as possible however this is taking its toll.


    I've said time and time again that the game should be split or the ability to turn some calls off should be implemented but it won't be happening anytime soon if at all. I use to be asking for new calls all the time and the game to be expanded but when something new is added i always complain because they are way too big to handle. The game has lost its spark for me which is a shame because i use to enjoy playing it but if calls continue to made that are too much for me to cope with without asking for help constantly i might stop playing altogether.


    It's a shame because i use to see this game as something that could be very popular and well still is for some but it's gotten to the point for me where it's just not as fun anymore. If anyone else feels the same then or wants to post their own feelings then feels free to leave comments :)

  • As a player in the UK using a realistic setup I do get your frustration. Although I don't start struggling until 20-30 missions down the line.


    Ultimately I make use of pre-deploying units to jobs so they attend straight after their last one. If you work it out properly so units aren't travelling over the county you can pretty much deploy every unit twice before having to wait.


    As discussed before Sebastian does not see a 4th game a financially viable option. He works flat out to manage this game amongst the others and often we see people complain that updates take a while to appear; with that in mind what is the expectations of him to setup and manage an additional game and manage the content there too? The idea just seems quite unrealistic there but has been discussed with Sebastian before.


    The idea of having a better choice over your calls is something we've discussed in the community team and would take some time to implement on Sebastian's side of things; however, I am unsure if it's something he will want to consider or put a timeframe on doing unfortunately.

  • I struggle almost straight away because the calls that spawn are never small and always need about half my area to respond. It don't have having only 3 platform trucks spread out across a vast county where help is about an hour away especially for hazmat. I use that technique but that then takes me away from playing as i then have to sit around for about an hour for the calls to clear.
