Suggestion about VM

i think we should all agree to stop suggesting to remove features

a moment of silence or anaboliking

i don`t care when you start getting turns ... the fact you do is the problem

Another suggestion, also been voiced before -- limit VM to 50 mil or lower pr on rt, and 10 mil or lower pr on slower servers.

No matter how big your base pr, you will be able to have a decent fleet at that kind of pr.

Importantly, this prevents people wanting to try for an UW hiding at the top.

i say they should set it up that when u vm like that if u use turns in takes your vm off when its gonna end within 24 hours
if its over 24 hours u don`t get turns

when i vm for 10 days at a time (so i can play xbox live or w.e maybe school work) i enter @ the beginning of my regular dp so 240 + 24, its the last 24 hours (regular dp) that i get turns

Accord,
Don`t you get turns on the eighth day of a seven day VM?
VM Period + 24/48 hrs dp depending on game speed?

sounds like another stephan problem to me......

archaeoptyrex you get turns on the 7th day of a 7day VM anything more then that its on the last 24 hours of the day anything less then 7 days is no turns, but you are correct i think if you go into VM for any amount of time you should remain 0 turns until the moment it ends. But this option will probably never be changed, but a nice topic to talk about.

@Slavyzz, it`s ruining the game on Fast server.

Good point Slavyzz. I don`t think anything will change myself, just voicing my opinion.

Hm definitely seems like another idea to change another aspect of the game. If we want to accommodate those players who utilize this aspect fairly we have to accept those who don`t as well, it`s that simple.

As of right now I can`t imagine this abuse is ruining the game, and even if it is causing problems I don`t think it is anywhere near the point where it should be taken out.

That`s just my opinion of course, nothing more.

I understand your situation, but I doubt there are many in the same circumstance. The different turn based servers can provide most people with a decent game rate of their choosing. You could try playing on the Slow server if you haven`t already.

This is a wonderful idea to push more people out of the game, leaving only the hard core of people who REALLY have the time to play this many many hours per day all 7 days of the week.

I went back to work, and now I only have time to play/battle/be active on the weekends. My on-the-road schedule means I am driving much of the time, and my return home time varies.

When I was off work, I started playing. VM gives me a chance to save all of the work I put in to this empire, and the 7 day turn cushion allows me to come out of dp even if I get home late.

People`s lives change, but they still want to play. The lifeblood of this game is the multiple players. This sounds to me like a plan to push marginal players out of the nest.

Agreed

there is too much abuse when overusing this feateure.

Agreed.

Agreed. Good idea.
Cheers.

Good idea. It`s rather annoying when people use vm to climb.
