Jan 9, 2013: Not enough in-game suggestions to run a poll this week, so just a reminder that if you suggest content, Valentine's suggestions may be underway and suggestions for future items can be suggested. :)

What new buildings, decorations, factory items would you like to see in your metro city?

Suggest in-game content for the polls.
Suggest features for game play in the thread :) They are being noted :)

A poll will be run in 2 weeks for suggestions that were placed in this thread :)

[Paul__]

A metro gift system you can gift gem( no max a day ) , 100 goods , 1 energy , Road , water
Lego shop

[threeway5]

Neighbors List really needs to be sorted by player Social Rating, not alphabetical order.

[tmum49]

This is the third poll yet we have not seen any of the items that were in the polls put in the game. When can we see them?

[Mudturtledove]

I'd like to see contracts added to the already existing industries so we can have more options on making goods. I'd love some additional community buildings - perhaps a high school or college. Thank you

[Charsville]

What we need most is: 1) More Energy, and 2) Counter like in other Team Lava games, so we know if we already visited or owe visit, and 3) Neighbor List sorted by social rating.

[Charsville]

I'm surprised that energy isn't listed as 100%. Obviously a lot of new players are voting. They play very little so energy isn't an issue. They don't realize most big cities don't add many neighbors due to lack of energy. Our cities are always full of sparkles, nothing to visit due to lack of energy. I bought some gems and used for extra energy, but it's almost gone and I'm not buying more with real money. My city will just have to sit full. Lack of energy makes this a frustrating, boring game.

[RAD1959]

EXCELLENT suggestion Charsville!!!

[RAD1959]

I have a BIG city so I'm FULL all the time!! An easy and fair way to increase the energy is to increase it as we level up!! For example, level up 30-39, you'll have 30 energy; level up 40-49, you'll have 40, and so on! I'm playing similar games: The Tribez from GameInsight, the energy is UNLIMITED, Gameloft's Oregon Trail: American Settlers, max energy is 50 but the higher your level, the faster your energy refills, Booyah's My Town2 Getaways, again, UNLIMITED energy so it can be done.

[RAD1959]

What would I like see added to the game? First and foremost, shouldn't the Mayor have a nice dwelling of her (or his) own in town? Just a thought, but I digress, Community buildings I'd like added: a university, a high school, a library, a playground (for the elementary school), a zoo, a transit center (for buses and taxis), a train station, an airport, and an observatory. Businesses I'd like to see added: a liquor store, a drug store (along the lines of a Walgreens), an (East) Indian, Mexican and Chinese restaurant, a beauty shop, a florist, a dry cleaners and a car rental agency would be a great especially if an airport is added. Individual taxi and bus stands would be great too and would better fall in under Decorations, like the subway station.

An incredibly obvious miss: MOVING cars!! For example, we have a police department but NO police cars "driving" around town, we have a hospital but NO emergency vehicles, a fire department but NO fire engines, elementary schools but NO school buses, mansions but NO limos or expensive cars, get it? OH and shouldn't we see the mayor walking around town? We chose our avatar when we name our city so I think it would be great to have that choice as our (individual) mayor and changing it could cost us a gem or two.

Lastly, it would be GREAT if the Wonders would be reduced from time to time just like gem packages.

[Charsville]

If vehicles are added, they need to add an ambulance. There's lots of crazy driving and people walk right into traffic without looking.

LOL you're right!

I agree completely. 30 energy is really a poor cap for bigger city, wich are always full. I can't clean mine completely, even when I level up. And this is preventing me to build a much bigger city with a lot of building, wich I would love to.

[kylebusch]

I voted for bigger energy cap. First of all there should be no energy cap like in cs.

[derekfromtulsa]

All community buildings should give +2 energy every time tax is collected instead of just randomly. That way you could ration collections on community buildings to maximize energy when you need it to collect from residences. There also needs to be more sky-rise residential (houses). This is supposed to be a "metro" map and all your new residences have been ****py suburban houses (which I refuse to put in my city). There's only one good building to pick from and it makes everyones city look unrealistic because there is no diversity. I'd also like a safe guard (second confirmation) for when I accidentally wast gems on something stupid because the app lagged. Those things are hard to come by and its hard to save them up for something cool when you're constantly wasting them on speeding up a 50 coin apartment that regenerates every 10 minutes. Just my 2 cents...check out "tulsa" if you guys get a chance.

also, let screen zoom out more on the iphone ios. I can only see 1/3 of my city at a time and i want to be able to pull back and bask in all of it's glory.

[Charsville]

also, let screen zoom out more on the iphone ios. I can only see 1/3 of my city at a time and i want to be able to pull back and bask in all of it's glory.Its not just iPhones. I can't see whole city on my iPads. I would like to be able to shrink city and be able to view entire city. It would be nice to be able to take a picture of the city, and not just part of it.

[Wooly]

Would still love some new tall buildings. Something like you'd find in an actual METROpolis like New York City. Swing sets, playgrounds, and miscellaneous fences aren't terribly exciting.

[threeway5]

- Modern Office Buildings / Skys****ers
- Modern Mansions
- Increased materials cap, which is relative to players level.
- Decreased time to complete expansions, which is relative to players level.

I've been playing daily for 4 months, and now I am being penalized waiting 6+ days just to expand because I need 4 days to collect the permits & 2 days to complete the expansion.

I WILL stop playing if it starts to take any longer. And I buy Gems, but I refuse to blow 200+ on them to fast track Permits and/or expansions.

If you don't fix this the game gets boring for all your long-term players, placing them at greater risk of leaving the game & therefore potential lost revenue (as the players who purchase Gems).

[threeway5]

Also, Wonders should give bonus energy EVERY time we collect from them!!

[Charmens]

I agree. I would like my Mayor to be called Mayor Streets. I public transportation system would be nice with bus stops. I can go on and on but you get the ideal. I hope we can see some of these new ideals this year.

[Justin386386]

To go back to the One suggestion from derektfrontusa I think the safeguard is a brilliant idea!

[threeway5]

We should have a 'Favorites' Neighbors List. That way we can easily visit and send material/permit requests to our best Neighbors.

[jonathanharker]

How about making the floating coins disappear when you're are zoomed out all the way. I have a lot of things in storage because they're not worth clicking on and just clutter the view with their floating coins.

[5comesalive]

Suggestions:

While I love the complexity of negotiating a city with energy and other limitations, the inability to produce more goods is very difficult. Perhaps there can be a certain level reached when more industry buildings could be unlocked.

I also think the energy gained from leveling up should be banked for later use. I try to plan to be out of energy when I level up so I get energy but if you are at 28 energy you only get 2.

Beach front, bridges, a university.

I have too many friends, there needs to be a way to prioritize friends or at least a way to skip through the alphabet instead for scrolling from the very top with only 3-4 names visible. I like to visit my neighbors but find it too cumbersome to get very far.

Btw, I LOVE this game!!!!

[kylebusch]

i would like a nascar race track
drag strip
car show
car auction

[knittedcupcake]

Fondue restaurant, hearts and flowers hotel, heart fence, chocolate shop, flower shop, tea shop, jeweler.

[Heathersville11]

I would like to a Bus station with buses on the roads.
How about a railway and stations, airport, harbour/dock.
A bigger fire station like the police station, ambulance station.
What about a power station for the city which gives extra power once a day ( maybe as a wonder)

[dcspoonman]

Water bridge please...

At the moment we can make a river and if we want a bridge, place road across it... Which just looks like 2 bits of water either side of a road... Surely an easy piece of decoration for you to create?? 2nd highest request in the poll above ;)

man, your suggestions are excellent, TL should listen to you, and I totally agree with you.

[kinglara501]

What happened to the casino?! Was due but never arrived. My suggestions;

Golf course
Pizza restaurant (that doesnt cost an obscene amount of gems)
Airport
University
Computer shop
Clothes shop
Cricket pitch (i'm English)

[mdot1997]

Can we get a motorway in the next poll as a type of road and can we get a working bridge that cars can drive on. Also can we get some sort of transport service going on so instead of it being in decor can you create a new category called 'Transport.'
