Would you like to see gas added on top using Gas Booster?

Amiga

Regarding @Shteevie idea I created simple and clear poll.
Would you like to see gas added on top using Gas Booster and use it later?

[ Update ]
- or only gas from TG to avoid of writing different pool with loot

MizTy

No

C'mon @Amiga. The issue was more complex than this poll indicates.

Anyway, I like the "reroll" if on gas booster. I think it's a good solution even tho it wasn't what you, @gespuer & @tammy were hoping for.

Nonetheless, your poll is quite myopic & I'm bummed you lowered yourself to such

Shut_Up

No

^^^^Amiga that will just block your own gas production when you get off the booster until you use it all. Some people farm XP to 100 kills when they are off the booster so that could take a while to use up so what you gained from the booster piling on would be lost by lost production or a significant percentage. Some people like to take a break after the booster ends so that would also slow down production. Some people buy back to back to back boosters so imagine how long that would take to use up and get your own production back. A rough figure BTW of how much gas you used to pick up while on booster is about 40. Then if you have a pile of gas and you try to use it you could get more in the rewards crate and that would prolong the down time of your production. Imagine how long it would take to start your production back up if you went on a bunch of outpost raids. That would take a really really really really long time. The re roll also allows for immediate gratification as you will probably re roll tomatoes which are going to be in high demand for the next few weeks or XP which is always in high demand. What if you win gas from cinema ads or the free trade shop crates, that's just going to block your production longer and result it another waste and then you didn't win anything from those crates.

Holy cow can you imagine if the weekend event was the herd or minute gas? You might as well kiss your own gas goodbye and more wasted gas.

What about people who use a booster on their day off from work and the booster ends and then they have all this built up gas and then they got to go to work? Don't you hate when work interfere with playing games! What if the wife gets pissed cause you haven't stopped playing because you have to use up all that gas.

Some people may like it but the idea isn't without a few flaws. There's actually a couple more flaws to letting the gas pile up instead of getting something else. Piling on also reduces radios if you think about it.

Amiga

Yes

Of course it has good and bad sides. Poll is created to see your opinion.

MizTy

No

Dam. I voted. I didn't even want to and yet I couldn't seem to help myself. I blame America.

But I also blame @Amiga bc you failed to even pretend this was an unbiased poll. The way it's worded (without the conyext or alternatives) makes the votes moot.

I usually love your posts, but this one pisses me off

Amiga

Yes

I never thought that answering Yes or Not is so complicated. It's just a simple question to see your opinion - nothing else folks.

Shut_Up

No

i don't think you saw any of the cons to this idea so that's why I listed a bunch of the bad ideas. Ride that pole and see what people think.

Amiga

Yes

Exactly. This idea is in NG head so if you don't like it... You know what to do
BTW
@Shut_Up you never knows what kind of roll is putted instead of gas
Radios?? Who knows... Maybe Just a crap

Shut_Up

No

I didn't say you would get radios but since it is a re roll then that does increase the chance of getting radios.

What's up with the little snakey comment about telling me 'you know what to do?" I gave you a item by item list of why I don't like the idea and you get snippy with me? Smh. Just because I don't agree with you. Why am I not surprised.

Amiga

Yes

@Shut_Up
Eee? "what to do" I meant vote
And it wasn't to you but to all...

Shut_Up

No

Since I have already voted, that is not what it sounded like you were telling me at all.

Amiga

Yes

@Shut_Up
Pass from my side - I don't have a time for it.
I will not mark you anymore on forum. Hope you too.. It's pointless

TheLostOnes

No

I prefer the new system where you get another reward.

After 24 hours on the booster I wouldn't want to have to play out a tank with 75 gas.

MizTy

No

+1 @TheLostOnes

EL34xyz

Yes

It would have been a nice idea before the update
All the gas you got while on the booster would be added to a variable and then become available after the booster ends

Amiga

Yes

50/50 so far

MizTy

No

@EL34xyz
Would you like accumulated gas on top of that as well? Cause its gonna take some time to use it all up?

Bc essentially you could gather like 3 days of gas while on a $2 booster.

Take that you ftp slackers! <<< Kidding!

Amiga

Yes

I've used to do that with horde. Nice fun to play constantly for a while.. Without waiting 4hrs to get full tank

EL34xyz

Yes

Just thinking like a programmer, since I do program in several languages

What I am saying is that any free gas you got while on the booster goes into a separate variable in the game
After the booster is done, that variable is added to your normal full tank amount and that is now your gas total

rgerkman

While on Booster? No & I'm happy with that change.
While on Booster & you get a Guild Gift with Gas? Sure.
While on Booster & you want to Buy that extra 8 Gas with TG ? Sure
I draw the line after those two instances lol
I would rather see those two instances also be different shtuff though too!! but if it's only those two things... all good

Shut_Up

No

It actually used to add to your account but it was the first used too so you don't get to keep it.

Before the gas booster was available to us I always used to hope and post that the weekend event was one minute gas. Amiga you used to tell me how you didn't like one minute gas because you couldn't use it up and that it was such a bad event for you. Now you want the gas to stack on top of a booster because "nice fun to play constantly for a while...without having to wait 4 hours to get a full tank." That's what one minute gas weekends do, it allows you to play pretty solid without having to wait 4 hours. I don't understand your logic at all not at all. I see a lot of circular logic on the. Oats these days not just from you though.

rgerkman

& wasn't @shteevie asking if we wanted Gas added if it's a Guild Gift or it was in TG Store only? That's how I read it.. ?
Your poll question makes it sound like All Gas @Amiga
I could be wrong though.. it happens sometimes

Amiga

Yes

I love 1 min time refill ) but weekend is mostly for my family. I have more time in week. That's my logic.

JerryDixon

Yes

I actually had thought this was going to be the "fix" in 2.2 so it's a yes from me.

Shteevie

Thanks for the poll, @Amiga, no matter how the presentation is given.

For everyone who has and has yet to post, thanks for the opinions and considerations. It's actually a more complicated issue than one might think at first glance. I want it to be fair for everyone, but I don't want people to have to remember what to buy or open or not based on booster status. I'll be looking for everyone's opinions to make sure every side is considered. Thanks!

Amiga

Yes

Yeah probably gas from TG store is consider as stacking. @rgerkman
But anyway every opinion is worth
@Shteevie
Did you think about it in this way?

rgerkman

I wouldn't care if it was Guild Gift & TG Store only as I don't get many Guild Gifts & why would I buy Gas while on a Booster? lol
Now what about Wall Walkers? I would rather get other Reward there too.. better chance at getting a Radio

Amiga

Yes

But walkers on wall doesn't give gas )

Shut_Up

No

@Shteevie When you say it's more complicated than one might think at first glance do you mean in writing the code or just what is considered before making a change?

rgerkman

I suppose I need more GoGo Juice @Amiga my Brain isn't at 100% yet

Why would we want to be on a Booster when we have the Wall Walkers giving Gas anyhoo? Soooo lets just pretend I didn't write that lololol

Shut_Up

No

Now Amiga has edited the poll and it's a significantly different question than what was asked before. The options need to change too and not just the question because the way it was originally worded it was "would you like to see gas added on top when using the booster." Now it is targeted for one specific instance and that is for when you get gas as the free item from the shop. The choices should be made more clear that the choices are either you get something else from the shop as your free item or the gas stacks for use later.

I'm with Mitzy, this poll doesn't indicate the problem correctly and because of that it's myopic. No problems with you making a poll but this one is poorly worded. It makes it like the choice is yes it stacks for later use or no it just is a waste.

I do appreciate your explanation of why you love and hate 1 minute gas weekend.

Maybe you should get them to close it and write a new one where it is clear that when you are on the booster would you rather receive gas from mission rewards crates, cinema, and free item from trade shop or would you rather a re roll and get something else. Then you also need one for during special events that give you gas!

I have had to edit so many posts this morning because I keep getting poster and not booster. Stupid auto correct.
