True.. but that doesn't stop it generating an interesting discussion.. lol

LOL, yup, but I was just doing as Borg requested lol.

Pinkfish,
I, and at least one other that I know agree with you completely on the tech points. I wrote a post about it somewhere.
Parts on that touch on what you said:

I think it's a big (and quite a dull part) flaw of the game
You're not alone in your thoughts!

But you're also right in saying how cute and the additive the game is There are heaps of good things about it and it is hard to stay away from your Little Village. Gmaes like this a way ahead of any Match 3 game and as I also mentioned in the above post, Arthur and LDW really set a high bar for the quality of internet games!!

>>so Hi by the way , i'm 40 and probably should leave this game to the kids lol<<

I'm 52 and love this game. I don't plan on quitting. LOL!!

I am facing the big four- zero soon, and I love playing these games!

And I totally agree on the fact that in vv2 you rather buy your way to the solution through tech points than solve puzzles. From the very beginning on, while I exactly knew what to do next, I just had to wait like 1 and 1/2 days in order to get the tech level to procede with my puzzles.
This *is* lengthy. But on the other hand, the game would get too short since the puzzle are just repetitive (at least 3 are the same as in vv1).

Having said that, I do realize that the vv2 players do vary in age greatly and that the developers needed to compromise on the level of difficulty concerning the puzzles: what is easily solved by an almost 40 year old, might make a 10 year old player
think for a while (at least I hope so )

I am not quite sure if this compromise is a lucky one though, or, in other words, if you can please all of the players.
The current solution was not sufficient for me, I was very disappointed with the puzzles and especially the fact they they relied again almost merely on tech points.

But I do think that in further sequels the customers' age range should be narrowed down when the next game is planned.
You just cannot make everyone happy.

Waiting for tech points is so boring lalalallalalalalalalalala

if you search for collectibles while you wait, time will seem to go faster AND your tech points will go up faster!

if that is too much, shut the proggie down and wander off for an hour or so

I wrote a mini blog on my first impressions and thus now I have started game allover again , now realising that even a stranded village works on Capitalism

here is my blog ... sorry if I shout I was a bit miffed!

1... looked everywhere and saw the possibilities.... using my own brain... of course

then got the herb puzzle by accident ... see my history of playing point and click , nancy drew type games paid off!!

so then I looked what I had and allocated them jobs, and even stayed for hours with the kids to catch the butterflies,

I saw the kids wanting to try to climb for coconuts, so I thought there must be a way to learn this,

I went back to the vines thinking , maybe I can learn to climb here , BUT NO , YOU HAVE TO BUY THE SKILL !!

yes in most cases you buy it


well I may as well save up and buy my son his degree, buy myself a peerage, easy done if you have the money then you can all call me Lady Pinkfish!


I am determined to enjoy this game.. new start new people,.....here here to a new start!

i'll drink to that!

welcome to the forums new Lady Pinkfish

I'll gladly oblige, Borg. *Grabs you by the shirt and slaps you around a few times while telling you it's only a game*
