I see many players complaining about the game, updates and the developers. I agree with all those words. I started DS in 2013, almost 6 years since i play and the changes the game got since then are really huge. In 2013 you didnt even need money, everything was pretty easy and more fun at same time. Those days i saw DS as my favourite game and the best one i ever played. But after the release of Green Volcano in 2014, thats where the problems started cause after that, you needed alot of gold coins for anything and the only way to get gold coins was through real money (since they removed later in 2013 option of missions giving you as reward 3 gold coins for every mission you completed and there was no limit). Even the elections became harder due to the gold coins part, cause with gold coins you can buy almost EVERYTHING in the game, which is a little unfair cause as i said, need to pay real money. In the big update in 2016 they brought back option of missions rewarding you with gold coins but the problem is that group missions give 1 or 2 coins, not 3 and the reward has a limit, when you finish helping you dont get coins anymore and thats another unfair part. Please keep in mind that this game is not a 18+ game, there are also players who dont pay money to the game, how do you think they will reach their goals in game if you make the game harder than it is ? No one is going to help them if they dont pay money cause not all are good players who would help them.
In your last update, im glad you changed the upgrade system by decreasing the number of items needed for upgrade, but at the same time is still hard to hunt cause the animals in map are in every lvl, while in past they had only 1 lvl and with 1 lvl it was way better.
What was the point of adding lvl 55 max lvl without the new map ? I get it, you wanted to make the game ready for the new map but like, players need to do lvl 40-44 missions and after each lvl up, those missions reward (XP) gets lower and they cant do same missions everyday, players want new ones. Now lets talk about players who dont pay money, lets say they reached lvl 55, how will they be able to buy new items lvl 50 with new gem stones or be able to upgrade them ? Items cant be find in any of the maps, they need the new map to hunt for items and they dont pay money to the game so they cant buy them either.
I left the game last year due to these reasons, i cant enjoy the game anymore, game is not fun anymore and you need money for 99% of the things you do in game (lvl up, upgrades, flash sales items, supplies, elections, sheriff, t-rex etc).
I am really sorry to say this cause as i said, this game used to be my favorite and now... well, i cant play like this. The only thing which brought back some players was the new dinosaur ankylosaurus. Everyone tried it and they loved it, its a awesome dino and fun to play with but like, if you focused more on adding new dinos than adding new maps and other updates, the game would be more popular now, the name says it its self "dino storm", it should be more about the dinos, not new maps, cause if you add more dinos, players will be able to try new stuff and will enjoy it. I know it might take a pretty long time adding new dinos but is better than these new maps, players will get bored everyday using the same dinos and other items, hunting all day to get items to upgrade them.
Please think about it, turn the game to what it was in 2013, one of the best games someone ever played. I know you cant turn the game exactly how it was in 2013 but at least just try to make it look like we still playing that old version, the best version. We dont need new maps to make the game fun, we need a easy game to make it fun. Whats point of playing if you need money for everything ?
