User blog comment:Volatile Vixen/Mage Shrines (FBexclusive for right now) are they worth it?/@comment-11879879-20150902193635

Have some questions about this and some observations too...

* As long as I've know, the 1st wizard's cost is 250 gems, 500 the 2nd up to 1500 the 6th.

Considering the text in-game is the same for all 6, I wonder if each one "do the same" but on different areas/aspects of the game. The one you described seems to affect almost ALL the time-based process. So, what about the others? All do the same? Should I'll suppose the 1,500 gems-one could use its hability 6 times x day? Or what is the difference?

* When you say: Speed things up...

Did you mean:

a) "Speed up-to-the-end-of" the process, ENTIRELLY?, or

b) Reduce the time by some fixed-amount (ex: 24 hrs)

c) Reduce by a % of total time?

Hope that actually ends the process to be better than (example) the free 6 hrs reduction on all breedings of Damona's Tower; at least is clear that will affect only one, so should do better that any tower. (250-1500 gems cost should be more that just the ability to use it once x day and getting the same partial stuff... But knowing SP, sure is NOT a full ability... lol). I wonder if the difference among the wizards is that, the time-based-percentage over any total time...

ALSO, I wonder if the ability could be used/stacked/effect be cummulative (if using several wizards) over ONE single process, is YES will be over the original/starting time or the new one... or if not: why?

* Also...

Is this "wizards' pack-offer" a "complete solution" for... for... let's say Time acceleration stand-alone-alike OR its (another) splitted/partial bonus that should/could be added to the other ones like the Breeding structures' upgrades (150 gems each to level II - reduce all breedings' time by 20%), to the Tower's features (like Damona's) AND if that all-together-stuff is good enough providing a real "engaging feature" for customers, at a balanced gem-cost for be actually a improvement over to the standard gem-based cost on anything in-game?

* Suggestion to developer...

To sell and profit better, provide better info and better offers as well in order to get better response from customers. In this case: EXPLAIN what each wizard can do it, make it do it "tempting" for us and promote/introduce properly to us.

* THANKS to Volatile Vixer 

for be the volunteer "experimental subject of this test", for the time and job to do it and for the share.

...and to close this long post...

* some (funny) trivia some-way-related to this theme...

- On literature and over the time, dragons are considered to be the source of all "magic" but not affected nor interested on use it (some groups consider dragons CAN'T do practical magic, others, they CAN and others, they don't WANT)... BUT ALL OF THEM noted dragons doesn't like mages, wizards, sorceress and alikes, nor the magic to be used so-lightely, and in some case, don't like humans at all. Also, considering dragons are inmune to magic (even while in-egg-state) without exceptions.... I wonder (again) if the guys at SP actually did some...thing like research before add something in game. No joking.... considering we the customers LIKE dragons, should be logical to consider many of them could know the standard info about dragons and maybe more.... and as anyone want to satisfy their customers should be expected from them to know better what could be or not in a Dragon City. My personal opinion? I could vote for sorceress instead than the actual wizards. And better if looks like the Elemental Light Goddess of Social Empires. XD

- Another mismatching thing: SIZE. Most people will agree that a standard adult human male tall will be close enough to a adult dragon's... claw. So why the wizard's shrines are the same size a a dragon's habitat? Despite the soft-pushing for expand to new islands by need of space, I can't imagine any good reason for that.

And it is supposed wizards like to live in towers, they do as they want, and hard to be seen. Should I suggest they to be able to GO into the actual towers (as they SO close to DC's dragons) or to have a most magic-related based habitat and made that shrines to be a floating ones like the Dungeons' one (but far more small)? If I'll going to spend on wizards, not only should be able to do some magic but also have to look like a wizard and perform like one... and better if able to do some damage or alike or favor a specific element someway. A land-building-based; slow-foot-walking and single/limited ability character did not match the planeswalker-dimensional traveller-floating/flying capable wise n devious profile associated with WIZARD. Wizardry adept is the best case. ;)

''If you got the patience to read all this, you have no need to "speed up things" using any currency. And if you want to do that... you should write asking for something "more", as we expected "more" and always got less, for get satisfaction for your money. ''

- When we could see the same style-based-offers' we recieve from developer but switched, just for cheer-us-up and to be happy to spend more? Something like: OFFER: 150 gems for 9.4M gold ? (Merchandise/Marketing-101 stuff) No way? Too much for asking? Maybe, so just let me manage my dragons and give a way to gift them to anyone I could choose if I want. This is a Social game. That should be a basic-level capability... or I'm wrong?

The answer to Volatile's question: Worthy or not?

I have NO IDEA. But wonder about what could be.

PS: Last day of vacations so I'm going back to my usual silence. But cannot let pass the chance to share something with my fellow dragon breeders someway.
