Pop ups

[Klockhamer]

Is there a way to disable the pop ups when you collect? Very annoying with the constant interruptions. Either you know what you're getting or if its random you will see it in your inventory. Maybe some like the constant congrats but it would be nice to be able to turn it off. Thanks

The only way is if you use the 5 diamond collect all button. You get one summary screen at the end and thats all

Thank you Sir but spending diamonds isnt what I want to do. There should be an option. I can't be the only one who finds this annoying.

 

[Sharmon the Impaler]

They are there to annoy you so you spend the 5 diamonds. Why on earth would they give you a way to remove them for free ?

 

[Klockhamer]

Great game but only fun when its not annoying. I'm not willing to spend diamonds to make it so. The FOEanomics dont make sense to me.

The FOEconomics are simple. If you don't want to be annoyed, spend money. INNO didn't invent this concept. It's almost cliche these days. The game provides enough free diamonds (to those so inclined to work for them) to easily handle the 5 diamond collect all.

I have just come to accept that collecting is very annoying. I'm not going to pay even 5 diamonds. It would actually be 10 as i have 2 collections i don't care to combine. Than there's the collection in my other world. That's 15 a day. Not much, but more tan 5. In a 30 day month that's 450 diamonds. That's just one month. Even if i were to make every thing ready at the same time, it would be 300 a month. I'll just concede, the game likes to annoy us, especially free to play players. It isn't like they couldnt change the way it works. They could. And i still have hope that I'm wrong that they are trying to force us to spend diamonds by annoying us. They have changed other things. I still hope this will be changed too in time.

 

[Sharmon the Impaler]

Why would they change it ? The people that it bothers don't spend money on the game and the people it doesn't bother do spend money. Where is Inno's incentive to spend a few weeks changing it ?

Two collections, 10 diamonds per day. 70 diamonds per week. On average, GE L4 provides 81 diamonds per week (not to mention the numerous other ways to get free diamonds). The solution to being annoyed is simple and it doesn't require spending money. Which is precisely why INNO will not remove the popups.

 

[Klockhamer]

Well I'm definitely not alone in my annoyance. They key thing is people being annoyed = not playing at all. Maybe they crunched the numbers and said,,,"sure, we'll lose some but more will buy diamonds" If I was working at FOE I'd take a different approach. My approach would be to NOT annoy but ramp up the incentives to purchase diamonds like they have with the special offers. People love getting a leg up.

 

[Dominator - X]

T'is annoying, but endurable. I do both; collect my fragment producing buildings manually until I run out of BG chances, then pay the 5 dimes to collect the rest.

One method to cut down on the pop-ups when collecting, is try to lump the frag producing buildings together in your city. Make sure your FP bar is empty. Not a requirement, but it helps. At least make sure you have plenty of room for what you are collecting. Then, instead of clicking on them individually, click on the first one and quickly swipe across the rest while holding the mouse button down. It may take some time to perfect this, but it does work.

While there's ways to get diamonds, i only have one diamond town and ways to spend diamonds is huge. I'd rather get the expansions ands occasionally use some for events. Expansions in titan are not cheap and .neither are events.

 

[Klockhamer]

Dominator? You just solved the annoyance with the most logical and simple answer. Cant believe I didn't do that from the get-go. Thanks!

 

[Klockhamer]

Another question. Why do some of my cities not show the Truce Tower remaining charges left. I looked at setting but nothing.

Did you click on the buff bar? If you click on the GB boosts (probably will show the GT no hand thing) it will expand.

the numerous other ways to get free diamonds

"Numerous" being
-PvP arena (unlikely)
-GE/GBG (rare)
-WW/FoY (unlikely)
-Quests/Age (rare)
-Continent Map (rare)
-Inviting friends (unlikely)

There are numerous ways to get them, but when you see the odds, you realize the truth. I don't get diamonds from GE very often... (around 23 percent of the time) I just started recording in August:

There are already tons of positive incentives to purchase Diamonds in the game, from the special offers to spending on events. The annoyance of the pop ups is not positive, but it is an incentive. Just like hot weather is an incentive to buy an AC unit. Be hot and bothered, or spend the money to be cool and collected. (See what I did there?)

"Rare" and "Unlikely" are subjective terms. I play 5 cities and, from all sources, I collect an average of 2,500 diamonds each week. I haven't spent a dime on diamonds in three years.

 

[Klockhamer]

2,500/week? whats your secret. I was using random buildings like wishing wells but thats rare to get them.

I play 5 cities. One main and 4 GE diamond farms. 250 WW/FoY combined, GE L4 every week in each city. Seed Vaults in every city, heavy GBG in main and one other city. It adds up.
