LOL !

Nevertheless, I still thinks this Arthur's touch is very... odd!

I hate this game so much! I play for 15 minutes a day, and it's so terrible every time one of my villagers die. And it's terrible that the people that made this game make you turn it off to get them to live longer. What kind of idiot made this????

May be possible spoilers:



eek I am a tad speechless and somewhat unsure how to respond.

Um, let's see...death is a normal part of life, for humans as well as villagers. So, the fact that your villagers die at 'an average age' is just like us humans. And, while sad, it is inevitable.

And the Ancient Elder award is an exception, a puzzle, that requires non-standard game-play to solve.

I don't believe it is expected that you consistently have villagers living to 90+ years, so it is not necessary to consistently leave your game off as described above. That is just a method to achieve the award. And, as previously mentioned, it is not the only way to achieve long life spans.

I don't know about giving the elders potions to keep their health up and thereby extend the life span. I haven't tried it. But I would suspect that if you wanted to take this route, you would definately need to invest more than 15 minutes a day nurturing your villagers.

Regardless, I am not familiar with your posts enough to recognize the tone you use when you ask about idiots...but, being unfamiliar, it kindof hurts my feelings to read that description.

Personally, I think very highly of the developers, and to hear complaint or frustration in such harsh terms is a bit upseting.

Perhaps you can re-phrase your feelings in a less combative form so we can make efforts to inspire happiness, or to promote peace in the forum and stay in keeping with appropriate talk for little ones as this is an E-rated forum.

Just a suggestion...your turn.

Y'know...If you didn't like the game, you didn't have to respond. None of us needed to know your harsh opinion...

Of course they're going to die. They won't live forever.
And the people who made this game are not idiots.

You don't have to turn off your game for long periods to get the award. As I posted earlier on the previous page, I got an Ancient Elder without resorting to this. The method of getting an Ancient Elder discussed in the thread is essentially an exploit, and not programmed into the game. If you don't want to use it, don't.

That was harsh and uncalled for. If you need help getting the Ancient Elder, the posts are on previous pages.

Yes, I'm still fretting over this post frown

I just wanted to add what I thought was obvious but now think it may be worth mentioning...

As attached to your villagers as you may get (we all do) they are just pixels...the developers, on the other hand, are humans with real feelings... not just just the ones we fondly impose.

So, I just wanted to say it seems a bit odd to defend a pixel at the expense of human feelings.

You hate this game but you play it every day and you become mad when a villager dies!! ???????
Well, I think that you love this game but you don't know how to tell it!! wink

Please, even if you are angry or too much sad, it's not the good manner to tell it.
I think that our developers will take care of our complaints better if we tell them kindly!
