City "The Last Home" buff

[Morgan le Fay]

I know this is an older thread, but it's the first one I could find on topic.

We reached Level 7 a few days back, and have yet to receive the Extra Lab Buff, even though it states we have it on the Icon Properties. The guild host even submitted a ticket to CS, and they claimed that it was in fact, operational and worked. Well, I'm sorry, but it's not working, and everyone knows it not working. Why is CS claiming that it is, when it isn't? That being said, does anyone have any idea when it WILL work?

Thanks much.

I'm going to throw this out there and I hope I'm wrong. Those with a higher VIP can pay for extra Laby runs. This buff could relate to that, a 3rd laby without the gem cost.

I thought that the case as well, except I'm VIP7 almost 8 and I see no mechanism even closely related to giving out a Lab or a chance for a "Free" Lab. It's not even part of anything yet it seems. I get 4 Labs a day from VIP perks and I have done all of them, and there is no other lab there for me, nor anything offering me a chance at one either.
Looking forward to this once they get it done. I was just confused as to why CS would say it's done, when it's not, that's all. Thanks for the reply Morgan.

Here is the reply from CS:

I'm also confused as to why it states "One free daily labrynth chance" when according to this reponse, there is no chance at all for it to be free. In fact, there is nothing "free" about it at all. It costs Gems and Stamina according to them. How much is what I wonder. 60 Stamina and 90 gems? 120 Stamina and 90 Gems? 60 Gems? lol guess we will know sometime, but so far, this is working out to be the worst buff yet.

That came from Tynon? Is that to your email, or mail in the game. That is not even proper English, looks to be written by someone with less of a grasp of the language than i would expect from Tynon.

If that is the case, then don't anyone bother to upgrade, it's not worth your guild funds. Put them to upgrading techs that all can use. I'm more than disappointed!!!!

Then this upgrade will be useless to players with VIP9..

That is a reply from Customer Service, in response to a ticket submitted by the host of our Guild on server 1.
The host Pasted it into a guild mail for the whole guild to read. That is where I copied it from. I assure you, it's word for word exactly as they (CS) sent it.
Like all the other text on this game, it can be translated 5 different ways, the way with the least benefit is the one to go with.
Personally, as long as it's not 50-10 gems and 120 Stamina, I'll be "OK" with it. I just want the extra lab before or IF I ever reach VIP9. I'd prefer if they didn't tack it onto the end of the rest of the lab "chances" so that it cost anything at all. It should be the first Lab, with a 30 Stamina cost, exactly like our first one is now, so that there are TWO 30 Stamina labs per day. Any other way they introduce this "Buff" is misleading and in my opinion, absolutely wrong.
Let's see how this roles out before we all get upset about it though. We have been pleasantly surprised before.

Ya Tynons "free" means something other then what we would call "free" Its means you get an "extra" lab run, but its not "free" . smoke and mirrors...that is disappointing...as with some "free" VIP things you get the higher you go ......why dont they just call it like it is lol, oh ya its too suck you in and then drop the bomb shell after you paid the price.

Well Deucalion, you are much more patient than i. Our guild, server 2, has had this for weeks, and nothing about it yet.

Any way that text is interpreted the word "free" remains. Currently it goes: 1st lab: 30 stamina, 2nd: 60 stamina That is all non-VIPs get. For VIP3: + 3rd lab for 60 +10 gems. For VIP5+: + 4th lab for 60 + 20 gems. Assuming they tack one on the back of any of those options, it is no longer "FREE". So where is the benefit??! Where is the buff that the whole guild paid hundreds of thousands of contributions and many, many weeks of cooldown??? As i said in an earlier post, if it were a 5th for me, as i am VIP+ that gets 4 now, I would not pay 60 stam + 30 gems for a "FREE" GW city buff. There is nothing free in that.

Tynon/UCool should not write text into the game that is so ambiguous that they then say; "We didn't mean this, we meant that, then change it to suit long AFTER said buff was attained and we are still waiting to either see the buff or get formal notice of exactly what it is supposed to be.

I am not sure if we should believe that the "free 150 stamina" for the last city buff is what is appears to be either.

Frustrating.

I'm very patient, because I truly enjoy this game and because I can normally find something else to do while nothing goes on here. I haven't played this game in 2 months really. I float around, do a few labs, get caught up in stupid guild drama, etc, but I'm not really playing till the patch is released. As far as this buff is concerned, unless they change it 100%, it's worthless. The next buff should be good, but if history repeats, forget that. What I have seen on Beta looks good, but I wont do anything much until I see it go live. The sooner the better. Back on topic, I really hope they get this buff figured out. If this costs gems then there is going to be a large group of players very very upset and I don't blame them.

i say they should wait like 25 days or so. Then i should have 800k rep and can promote to general before the patch and not have to earn and extra 9.2m rep to get to general

This is actually beneficial, especially to the none or light coiners.
It also helps the vip players get more runs per day.
