HELP! Give us your opinion on the balance of beacon compactness?

I think one road leads to a newer player, the other one leads to someone’s large base, and then the new Village. I am maxed out on the portals I can maintain. Def good idea though :+1: If the compactness % stays about the same, I will probably shuffle some plots around & accept some very gracious help that has been offered, to overcome a low score. (Also wondering if splitting the walkways and roads onto a few more beacons would help.)

I am curious if you figured out what percentage compactness would fix most if not all of your issues?

Honestly, this update is to prevent people from drawing only roads, to prevent abuse of the reserve, you just have to see biula or those planets that are fully planned by roads, with that we get, more space, for future buildings or maybe new people, so you also avoid, create new worlds, when there are excess people

As-is …0.18…could probably easily do 0.22 if needed though

hmm .18 may be more than they want to do, but I think .22 is very reasonable. . I am in test and I am will to see how wide you may need to be to span a certain number of plots over water.

I am a little concerned about you using multiple beacons as this might also trigger a violation.

It couldn’t hurt at this point with the possible plot system changes. Can shoot me a message if you do end up creating something along those lines if you need building help. I’m toiling away alone pretty much in my little area I call home, but I could take a break and help out if needed.

I only have one for the mall proper area, so I think I’d be okay if I were to add a couple more. That’s probably why the inner mall walkway is triggering at 0.25…it’s all one beacon…even though some of the walkways are 3 wide.

Since it doesn’t seem that they are planning to add this change right away, I may have time to gain some more plots - and use the help that has been offered to fill in the rest.

I do think we have time and I do think there is room for discussion on the compactness percentage. But in the interim if you need help testing something I will do what I can. I am lucky enough that my build and my guilds builds are all purple at .25.

This would ensure that the reservation system destroys your mall for good… you can’t change the road’s plotting anymore.

Yes, trying to make an existing build fit into new rules can be kinda :confused:

I’ll probably just move some plots around :+1:

At 0.18 compactness, I’ll just need to remove or fill in this city expansion road that I attached to the mall.

You probably need to fill it in with reserved plots of your own and have people ask you to release them ask they want to plot in that area, but thats a really big area so i can see why its going to be an issue.

What sucks even more is you cant have some one else reserve those plots for you because the inevitable will happen and they will just poof off when you need them…

Hmm maybe if we had a system were some one could plot those areas for you and then flag the plot as “For sale” then it wouldnt matter if they didnt return to the game…

hmmm… :thinking:

I have accepted an offer from someone that I trust :+1: He would def keep his word.

I kinda love the real estate idea. Set a beacon/plots to “for sale” and someone could buy it anytime 24/7 and take it over. Love this!

Do you at least own a PC? If you do there is a site that allows you to look at the map and you could get a rough idea if you are safe or not by looking directly at the map. I don’t know the site, someone else might tho. Just a thought. I play on the PS4 myself but I also made sure in the beginning to build in a compact setting. You may be able to just try and fill in spaces that you might think could hinder the prestige.

If you ever need some places filled in Gyosha Mall just let me know. I have about 200 plots that I could use to help out when needed.

here is the link

This also works on most phones as well I want to assume, as I have only viewed this map using my phone. Given the buttons at the top of the page are tiny, it still does work for me.

The app doesn’t appear to work on my Safari browser or google browser on my phone.

Yea only works on desktop unfortunately

Hmm. Mine opens in the chrome app on my phone by default when selecting the link. But not the Google search bar that I mainly use.

I try to avoid using Chrome and Firefox on my phone. Neither are currently loaded on my phone. Chrome has has some issues and I think Firefox has had some too.
