Naviss

(The screen shot thread said to make a new post?) Anyway here is some pictures of two of my cities. Thought I'd share and get things started!

As much as Matthew and other mod's do talk to the gamers, They always lack the proper time to be here to answer questions on a timely manor. It's rather poor of them to do that, At least without telling people first. It does show that the company is falling apart, And seems as if putting any monthly money into the game will only be throwing it away. However though myself personally. I'll keep paying the 10$ a month. They did come out with Buses when they said they would, Which made the game play-able again for me.

I have 3 months worth as it stands and since I bought the 3 months worth I've played maybe twice. I really don't care to play the game anymore till they do something with pollution. They speak of having content packs out at least once a month, An I hope this is true along with a few gems before my 3 months runs out. If that's not the case however I wont renew! At least till there is new stuff. Mainly Mass transit....

They will have a Zoo gem, At least by what I read in game.

That would be kind of neat idea.. I mean as of now it's the town hall that sets the medium as for the mayor, But we should get some sweet look house at a X amount of population for the mayor himself.

All along I thought that was just a truck for freight. lol

I can wait for ambient sounds! It will make the game so much more alive.

Thank you for clearing this up Mathew, It was one of the more important options for me to have with the PO. I can confirm too that it has been fixed with a fresh planet upload to the servers. (IE: Going to your city and going back to planet mode).

Wow... I wrote them awhile back and they said they was working on it, i never got anything like this... If it's true and only updates once a week, I wont pay for another 3 months PO. That's BS.

They go in a "Monte Cristo" folder in your My Pictures folder.

Nope they closed their forum with the beta.

Graphics are pretty much the same.

Ya that large airport is really massive. Takes up a big part of the map.

Nice but them single lane bridges are going to be in the red in no time.

The gem like the Ski resort, Beach & Zoo are all coming soon. I know in the beta the Ski resort gem was like 80% done. So I bet anything they release that gem this month. As for buses, They are set to come out in the 3rd content pack, Which will be before Christmas.

Well, I figured that since they take so many tokens to build, I never play SP. So yea lol. But I did see that you can have way more then one blueprint / megastructure in your city. If you can handle the massive build needs. Just sucks you can't sell them or delete them and put them in a different citty - Just still having only 1 at a time used of the same blue print.

Well, You're right... But I think they are looking more for a "work-able" game at the moment and releasing content to get money either by gems or by releasing PO only content to get people to subscribe! I'm shure though we'll see more patches to fix the game down the line. Honestly it does lack alittle content after had already played with all the current stuff for the last 5 months in the beta. Some new and fresh would be nice.

I remember in the beta, We got the big ben landmark, Via the website. And I tried building that when I started a new city, I didn't even have a town hall yet and tried building it. :/ So I don't know why they have a population cap on them now. Needless to say I couldn't build the darn thing lmao! An when I deleted it, I couldn't build it again. I somehow lost the blueprint? Guess it's a one time deal. So this time around I'll pay more attention.

Also you should always place a off / on ramp now and then even if it's not going to anything, This can help when you need to delete some sections of the highway without having to re-mark the whole road!

You REALLY have to plan these things out. Remember... A highway in this game is the same as a interstate in real life.... You don't see a interstate rolling down through main town with 50 little roads going off of it. You ALWAYS see a off / on ramp that goes to smaller roads. Remember you CAN use the highway to express lane section to help with this, Which is what I do mostly. Express lanes is what you want through town not a highway unless using it as a by pass. The other on / off ramp is a handy one and a very nice looking one for your Large Rich Ava's. Really need ideas with it. Just give it time and plan it out. They are a HUGE help when used right!

None of the trade is working no matter the planet, Just read the news on Cities XL website. They are working on it.

Brandon, Did you end up buying the game? I really think it's worth it. Even to just try it and think bout PO or Gems down the line? And to stay on topic;

It will be neat to see how many people will subscribe to PO in the next 3 - 4 days (since launch.) You'll be able to tell pretty quickly since no matter what time I get online right now the chat channel is filled. So... If it gets empty we'll know not many people did. The news post I read the other day seems as if they already have content pack planned and ready for release, Which I'm shure a gem (ski gem) isn't far behind. I also seen they are going to do a Zoo gem as well.

I hope you mean for SP.

I thought Airports and stuff was in SP as well. :/ Airports are by far the neatest looking thing in the game, And the large airport is massive!
