Finally bought my 82nd floor last night. Still waiting for it to finish construction (9 hrs left) when I got this new update. I thought they'd add more levels and was happy. The new assignments seem to be a major pain! I noticed that they don't always pay out in Imperial Credits (coins) though, sometimes you get Bux too. But for something that would cost you close to 100k you get 15 Bux. Terrible! I'm on Android, and have been having an issue which is STILL not sorted with this update! I can't go to the Album & see any of my Scenes or Levels - only the Bitizens tab works. Pretty much fed up now!
So is there a way to get all levels staffed? I'm short 3 staff ... no more residential and 1 shop closed. Only thing i can build now is Imperial levels And yeah ... new assignment prices suck ... Emperor rewards have always been useless.
Anyone else getting this glitch where all the dialogue and menus just say "???" Cause that's what I've got going now and I have no idea what I'm doing. Edit: Airplane mode worked for this one, at least for now. Annoying.
Well, with no auto update set on my iPhone this program adds small "additions," in spite of me, like those video ads so beloved by others eek. As of this morning, it NOW costs me 2 bux to rent an apartment. So my answer now is 2 bux. Disney/LucasArts' TDS demonstrates particularly egregious ways of monetizing a game, again & again. After reading the comments about the recent update (the one the user does, VOLUNTARILY), I realize it's not for me. My app already crashes too often & adding more stuff that is worthless/potentially harmful wouldn't be in my best interests. BTW, I intensely dislike ANY program which auto-adds/changes features for it represents a constant shifting of the goal posts. The user would never know what the money invested in the game was really worth (i.e. in terms of renting spaces) *after* the time of purchase.
Aha... Just got a notification: "By Imperial Decree: NEW levels have been added! Return to your Death Star every Monday for more!" mnemo
Yup 2 new residential levels available! I agree with the theory of the new Retail level being a prize. Which is a shame because I can't be bothered with these new assignments. :::EDIT::: "Update detected" Ut-oh. Just got this message again and turned it off straight away. Do you suppose they fixed it? Broke it more? Or just broken already and doesn't know I've updated already? Kinda scared to continue. Anyone else got this?
What is it? Moreover I see there is a new Purple level to build, but you cannot start it, the system says I don't have any new purple level to build. If I try to build a resident level it seems you can start it even if there is no new level in list
Each update of this game makes the free to play model grosser and more hostile to the consumer I konw Disney is laying off hundreds of people in its gaming business, but I don't think this is the way to make a good game long term for the player. Too bad, I liked the art
"Rapacious" -- that's the word I'd use to describe Disney/Lucas Art. TDS is a progressively perverted implementation of the "Freemium" genre of games. Particularly sad, IMO, because NB's name is also on the game. I sincerely doubt they had input into much beyond the initial code but this game tarnishes their brand name, nonetheless.
For all that Disney might be doing *wrong* with TDS, I'm just glad they finally added Facebook integration so I could move it off my phone and onto my tablet. Now if only I could get Plague Inc. to sync with Google+, I could slick my old Galaxy Nexus. You actually don't need to do the assignments to get the new retail level. You 'level up' by producing items on your Imperial levels. There's an icon that says x2-x5 next to each one. That's how many 'medals' you earn for producing them. The new retail level is the last prize. The assignments just gift you things like VIPs (and presumably the limited-edition Bitizens, too).
Is anybody else seeing the mission holograms yellow? I thought they were supposed to be blue... The bug in the jedi training cave icon is still there. And I'm suffering the loading crash bug. (Thanks for that plane mode tip!). Worst part is, I can't file a bug report. Disney Interactive doesn't accept bug reports from my country.
