Big Business - game discussion

1- I can't visit the corp without crashing.
A. I can see the corp task just long enough to know what to make
B. I can ope the corp shop
C. I can't scroll the main corp screen. I'm below #6 but don't know my corp rating.
D. I can't read messages or post. I can access late at night or early morning, but not during the day or evening. Don't seem to be that many people playing this game so must be some very small vm servers powering this thing or some bad database index designs.

2. Ports. Can't refresh friends ports in the day or evening without Internet connection errors.

3. Cannot open the pyramid at all. Internet connection errors.

If they acknowledge there are issues, they need to post updates, same as if they take servers down for emergency maintanence. Or even planned. I just want to give an public update that they know there are issues and it's being worked. I don't a full tech explanation, but just that we are aware of these issues and we are working in them. The fix requires an update or we need to update our servers and eta is targeted for nn days. Just any communication would be great.

Another game I played had similar issues, but they give a lot of updates and public acknowledgements, they learned their lesson, GI is about to find out the hard way considering how much real money people spend, it's not just a free game. Look up Big Fish, Dark Manor and you will see how they kepp posting updates for game issues, and they give freebies when there are serious interruptions.

I can work around the current issues so far except the port. I am forced to do a ware house dump because I can't just hold anymore items.
 
This latest update really has messed things up in a big way! Some people are having VIP points issues and others are having daily task issues. My daily tasks have not been affected - I still get XP, coins and corp points. My port is also unaffected - I still get the anchors, xp and coins. My VIP level was however reset to 1.

So I guess I can consider myself partially lucky :) Hope the next update fixed EVERYTHING! I cannot stand how GI releases new stuff (the land expansion event) without fixed prior problems. So aggravating!

I send a ticket to GI. They told me nothing is wrong when obviously I had 1 less task to doing neighbour's land and 1 less daily point. But I'm too tired to fight them - not that I have very high VIP point to begin with I think. Didn't knew that mattered so I never monitored.

Do u know other then spending real cash to buy city dollar to gain VIP points, are there any other ways? Thks much.
 
A time saving trick for the Tunnel if you havent gotten this far yet.

When you are on Part 4 of Step 1 (collect 600 energy units),
When you finsih this part, the next task is to complete 5 tasks on the left of the window.
-If you are up to the last 100 energy units or so
Dont finish the daily task all the way if you can. Instead, do everything but one item. On the daily "Lets make a deal" task, run the energy up to 75 then stop. Dont start the Help friends with repairs either. If you do everything on each task but leave it unfinished, when you start part 1 of Step 2, you will finish this step very quickly.

Same goes for the Port. If you have a port open, do everything but the last container.

I did this and finished the first part of Step 2 in about 1hr. Saved me a day waiting for daily tasks or the Port to show up again.

I plan on doing the same thing for the robot upgrades. Running all my robots up to 96% xp then sit them idle. That way I can just send them on a few tasks and get the three upgrades quickly.

Nothing too big here, but could save a day or so.
 
I need turbines to upgrade my Hydro Power Plant. I play daily and will gift in return. Please help.
Thank you.

Ok folks last set of task! This one is not for the weak of warehouse hearts or for the hoarders! If you want the entire tunnel info in one place may I suggest a place I cannot suggest here. Private message me for that info

Construction Task 5: Everything Must Go
Part 1: Tea Ceremony
Collect 45 Wagashi
Hint: You can find Wagashi in Sushi Bars
(max out your Shushi Bars to 40. They are available to collect every 1.5 hours. Happy clicking and Good Luck!!!)
(If you have a Great Luck Bonus, they really help. When I used one I would find many more wagashi. Make sure you are around for 6 hours as not to waste it.)
Part 2: Final Push!
Sell everything in the Warehouse!
(Don't have a heart Attack! At least you are getting a heads up, which I did not! Start upgrading product like your coconuts, papayas and mangos. Plan your last port shipment, Make as much off any product you can. Your warehouse will echo! Think of it as a chance to refresh maybe?)
TIMED EVENT: Share Your Success!
Post 3 pictures of the Underwater Tunnel on Facebook
(Go to upper right corner click on camera and click on Facebook icon. Do this 3 times. Just do it 3 times in a row to get it done. You have 12 hours.)

Done 9500 coins 350 xp plus connect road to tunnel and access new land!

Yes it does and that is big. Especially when u can do something about it unlike collecting junk from stingy citizens. Pays to read ahead! And to have pioneers to blast roads! Hehe

Thanks Forrest and joe for updating the site. These are invaluable. I was going to try to help, but I am way behind you two!

Sell everything in the warehouse? That's going to hurt my hoarding disease! I have 140 items right now. On the plus side, I always wanted to push that button. It's like that big red button that says do not push....

same here always was gonna push would if...it is like the Willie Wonka Factory Elevator button.

It was the first time I created a page and did it. Yeah at the end Joe and I were neck and neck and just were talking in game. I actually had fun updating that page. Memories of some of my old coding days when I use to program but before the internet (aged myself)

I could not just sell I had to upgrade and ship stuff before I just sold off. Of course I am back up to 200 items already in less than a day. Making Butter Dough sugar basic items for personal plans and some lipstick and soaps. Oh and 25 Limestone to upgrade the tunnel and get it done.

My warehouse is ready for zombie attacks!
 
hoopz111 and ForrestCody, I have turbines to gift again. I tried to scroll through my friends list to find you, but after 3 or 4 swipes, the game crashes. Do you want to try a message to my wall so I can send them to you?
 
Does anyone have any idea what the alarm clocks are meant to achieve? It says something like ' you've tried to wake a friend, wait until they back to BB and you'll be rewarded' feels like an empty promise or am I too jaded? Or too stupid to understand what they are all about?

I wondered too, but have kept clicking them; last week, I got 5 city credits because one of them came back to the game. Well worth it.
