Another We Rule update, another We Rule disappointment

Another We Rule Tips Update

As we like to know all the We Rule Tips we asked a top commentator on Jag’s iPhone site to tell us his thoughts about the latest updates on We Rule and here is what he has to say:

“You may wonder Who the heck is this Player? And, why should you bother to read this?

I am Technerdogist. I’ve ground my way into the top 500 in We Rule XP (eXPerience points) Leaderboard, despite the developers blunders. I’ve wasted tons of time and coin gathering stats (so you don’t have to) and I consider the Human Factor of the game (yes people sleep and do other stuff). Take comfort that you are not alone in your frustration with the game.

Here’s how I see the latest We Rule update.

Another update and another disappointment.

Warning: To any Experienced Gamer it is painfully obvious that this program is being maintained by different people than those that designed it!

Original developers made a game that “ although buggy“ was totally Free for everyone. When players were inconvenienced by infrequent downtime, players were given a few Mojo to compensate them for their patience (nice touch, made you sort of feel like recommending the game). The game was designed to allow players to quickly advance and unlock more objects. Players felt like they could catch up their kingdom development and keep the game interesting and fun.

With this New version, We Rule Players connect after frequent downtime, only to discover the objects that they have chosen for xp or coin purposes have been hobbled by developers (a desperate attempt to slow Players down?)! Costs have gone up, build times have risen dramatically, payouts have decreased and fill times are getting ridiculously long “ specifically on the more popular objects that Friends typically order from. Now more and more objects are being added that can only be purchased with Mojo (= pay real cash for artificial currency, and oh just ignore the fact that the developers have just screwed your last couple weeks of effort). Embedded Ads, loosely disguised, promising free coins waste players time for a petty amount of coin. (Wow! the new developers want you to pay for this kind of treatment???). Still the remnants of the original game keep you playing in hopes that some day they’ll get back to the spirit of the Initial Game. (sigh!)

We Rule TipsAnyway Risking that the developers will butcher the following objects, here are a few we rule tips that remain viable with this version:

1) If you are a New We Ruler, (to twist a quote from The Matrix, Guns! Lots of Guns!) Houses, lots of Houses! These are by far (if the developers leave them alone) the Best Purchase for your Coins (when you still have lots of land and not much coin). Pack them tight and collect taxes every 4 hours. And to repeat a previous post from Jag, Don’t bother using Mojo just be patient. This is not a 2-day of playtime game, think in terms of Weeks and Months!

2) If you are Advanced enough in the game Ruby Groves are your Guns! (despite the latest butchering)

3) If you haven’t figured it out yet you are only allowed 35 orders, including placed and accepted. So don’t wonder why nobody orders from you if you use all 35 placing orders with friends. Keep track of how many orders you have at your friends, (15-20) keeps your friends ordering from you! Some greedy players don’t get the Social part of this Socially Base game and only take orders (cause that pays a bit more).

Hope you find this info comforting and maybe even useful!? Want more tips? Got some proven tips? Post your opinion below Hey, why not it’s really Free.

Cheers!”

Thank you for the We Rule Tips… And he is right for the most part and yes the constant changes on We Rule can be quite frustrating.  While I totally disagree with the fact some of the new shops can only be bought with Mojos,  I still think the main reason behind it is to slow down players so that levels will last longer and I don’t see it as a bad thing, why rush?

For someone who will start the game just now, it does not matter that ngmoco changed the amount of coins or xp earned on a tree because new players don’t know any better, they will think it is just how the game is played and that’s that.

But for us, the advanced players it is a bit frustrating because we know what is going on. But we are also stuck at level 30 hoping for new levels to satisfy our playtime so who is having more fun right now? What does being in the top players on the leaderboard brings you? give us your thoughts.

    This is the most frustrating game ever made.

    1) You can never move the items you want around correctly. Most of the time you move an item you DIDN’T want to move then spend 20minutes trying to fix what you moved by accident.

    2) They need to correct the movement or give us arrow keys to move objects up/down/left/right, doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.

    3) Severs, upgrade them – I’m sick of getting disconnected or worse unable to connect and losing crop after crop.

    I’ve almost broken my Iphone more then once out of frustration.
