Like the majority of you out there I started playing VV3 as soon as it came out and I LOVE IT. I think the map is great and I like some of the new things they do (still hate it when they go off to do laundry). My first complaint has to do with going from the 1 hour trial to the full version. I played VV3 on the free trial and loved it. My trial ended and I had to leave for Wednesday night church services. When I came home I bought the game and started playing. The game gave me back the people I had before (which I appreciated because I liked them - especially like having a kid for a chief-no lost adult worker). The problem is that the game continued playing as if I hadn't left so now it's about four hours later, they have practically no food, they're all weak; well you get the picture. I had to spend the next four hours taking kids around the city looking for mushrooms so my people would survive until the fruit on the tree was ripe. If I had known that I would get the same people back and if I had known that my time was almost up I could have paused the game.

I miss how I could put more than one kid on a mushroom and they'd all get a mushroom!!! I saw some posts about VV2 that said you could do this with 'shrooms and collectibles, but I never could. Would be nice!!!

I love the new, improved look of the villagers and the new names! Awesome job! I'm glad that the designers disregarded some of the suggestions. For example: I'm glad there's no night and they can work 24/7.
I do wish they had made it so the kids would be a little more proactive in getting mushrooms and collectibles. Also, it's frustrating to click on a kid and it says, "Looking for mushrooms", but they don't ever get any on their own.

Two last things (for now): I get really frustrated when I hear the chimes and spend the next 5 minutes or so scanning the map to try and find what should have appeared. Sometimes there's a 'shroom or two, sometimes there's a collectible or 2 (or even 3); but sometimes there is NOTHING! Lastly, I really miss being able to put all the adults on a fruit tree (i.e. coconut tree in VV2) when there is only enough left for one trip and they all get a piece of fruit to deposit in the food bin. This works for the bee hive, but NOT the trees.
