So I just spent 10 days attempting to play this game while on vacation. I was using a netbook and everywhere I went, connections weren't great.

The things I noticed:
  • Receiving Mineral/Artifact shipments really sucked. They took too much time if they worked at all. There were many days when I would sit filled because I just couldn't grab the resources because of how slow it worked.

    Answers? I'm not sure.
    In relation to the minerals, I think the sell all before hitting the cargo bay would be great (even if it cost an extra 5% to do so). A slightly less useful but also less radical change would be to move the sell all button/check to under the quantity box. This would at least keep people with smaller screens (mobile devices?) from having to scroll as much.

    In relation to the artifacts, I'm not sure what the answer. Again, costing extra to use more of them at once would be the answer. I'm not sure what other answer there is.

  • Missions/battles: There is just too much clicking. Using 5 energy at a time on an NPC means that one has to do a LOT of clicking to take it down. Sometimes the clicks don't take or other problems.

    Answer? Artifact (size 1) that allows you to have multiple attack buttons (5/25/50 energy attacks)? As for the missions, maybe a quantity box? I know trying to do 40 clicks on the current weekly mission could take as many as 60 clicks to get it to register 40 times.

  • Jumping around of pages: You scroll down on the mission page to look at something, hit X and it jumps to the top. You click on an item on the artifact list, it uses it and shoots to the top of the page.

    Answer: Stop doing that! It is frustrating to have to keep scrolling down. If I want to go up, I can click up.

All of these 'upgrades' should also have the positive effect of reducing server load.

I really like this game and I'm not pointing these things out to be negative but because of how negative the experience was of playing the game in the situation I was in. I would imagine a lot of people are in that situation on a daily basis. I hope that this helps improve the game as I am really enjoying it.

Agreed, I have very few complaints about this game but the jumping back to the top of the page is certainly one of them.

I do support anything that minimize the amount of jumping and clicking to do the same job. GL sure has room for improvement. Streamlining and minimizing everything will make smartphone and laptops with slow connectoins a hot commodity = more revenue for GL so why not? :)

I saw new win 7 smartphones are coming out. I wonder well it would run FB games including GL. :D
