Which disabled feature do you miss more?

As the title asks.. Which feature of the disabled ones do you miss the most?

 

As you know EA had major server problems at launch, to ease the load on servers they decided to disabled some of the "non-critical features" from the game, it is unowned when these features will be back.. My guess is that they will re-introduce the features slowly one by one via the test region to see if the servers can handle the pressure and expand with servers if they can't. So to prioritize.. which one would you see as the first feature back in game?

 

Me myself would like to see the region filters put back in. For a guy like me who doesn't have any friends playing the game to invite to regions have to search for regions with empty slots, and it is very time consuming...

 

Achievements are the least necessary feature in my opinion.

 

What do you think?

Cheetah speed and the ability to make private regions for me. 

 

The lack of cheetah speed is especially infuriating, but I was able to make a region "invite-only" a few days back, thus allowing me to play a region by myself. Did they remove that option when creating a region more recently?

For me it's the Cheetah speed which is most sad that it's missing.

 

But also the fact not all region stuff is working. I want to do solo region play, seeying my industry city full of people from my other city.

Cheetah speed for me.  It's a bit painful waiting for money to build up a bit just to add an extra fire truck.

Have private regions been disabled? That's all I've been running so far.. haven't even tried a public game.

 

 

Same.  All I've played are private regions and the option is still available to me if I create a new file.

Which regional features are disabled?  I have people coming from different cities for work or shopping.  Is it not working as intended?

Private regions work fine.. the city to city play is buggy and non responsible 90% of the time. I guess its just servers need to be worked on.

Definitely agree about cheetah speed. 

 

It's happened to some players yes. Random people have started playing in my private regions.

Once example: say you build a department of finance in one city and want to change the wealth taxing system in another. It will tell you that you need a department of finance in the region, even though you have one. The only way to fix this right now is to add a department of finance in that city as well.

Removal of features after the game has been sold is a very good reason for justifying getting a full refund. Of course anyone who bought it from Amazon will probably have got their moeny back already....the other outlets though, well this is a very good argument to cite if they prove difficult.

Cheetah speed by far.  Followed closely however by region filtering.  I watch and usually participate in a lot of live stream "playing with the viewers today" type of stuff, but it's just gotten to be a pain to have to befriend every streamer that I will play with so that I can play with them because the filters are no longer in the game at this time.

Cheetah speed is the only official disabled feature. The regions problems are down to bugs and not disabled features.

Incorrect.

 

They disabled the leaderboards, achievements and a few other things.  Yes some things (such as sending simoleans to another city in your region) are simply problems of server stability as well as some game issues/bugs etc and taking too long to process, but they "officially" turned off  more than just the cheetah speed.

i am not really bothered with the speed.....

more bothered about not being able to form the landscape and dig tunnels and create bridges more freely

create on and off ramps onto avenues instead of intersections all the time

 

and ofc the area size one city is locked into is annoying.

id like the ability to buy more land to expand my city

or atleast connect areas directly so the citys look like they are one big city.

 

ability to have more entry points for traffic

 

new AI for traffic

have sims choose the big roads first.... so i can have a beltway around areas.

I'm gonna go ahead and be different than everyone else.  I would love to see the filters re-enabled as i do not have any friends that i can receive requests from; however, until region play becomes improved than multi-player holds less value for me.

 

With that in mind i would like to see the supply/demand back for resources. With them enabled i will feel more connected to others even during solo play.
