you are taking the fun right out of what use to be a good gambling game.

you took our powers we worked hard for, for the 1st year because of a over sight in your plan for the over all game, ok i can live with that and work towards new powers but not like this i have spent hours and days on YATUKA already and if by 13th of april i don't get it i will cancel . you have to do zodica to get enough coin to buy powers and you have to have powers to get thro parts of the pa. and you need lots of money to buy back the powers and i mean a LOT of money ---so no more shopping or adding to your suite because you dare not spend a dine of your hard earned money or vip's because it will take most of your bankroll to even buy back powers at half of what we had and if your lucky you will be able to aford at least 2 out of the five powers and i mean very lucky. you call this fun, i think not its very, very frustrating. Shurm you said you wanted to make getting powers hard well you sure have to the point that peeps will lose intrest fast, you don't want peeps to have high bankroll but yet everything there is in this game cost a arm and a leg so why are you making it so tough to gain anything??? theres no rhyme nor reason to your game play at all. i play a lot of hours in a day 6-10 and theres no way peeps that only have 2-4 hours a day will get any where in this game so tell me again were is the fun !! yatuka is 150 spins need 84 winning spins so you can lose 66, i don't even get close to 84 so please up it to 175 spins and give us a fighing chance. there is a rare few that have won this one very rare few. for almost 5 years i have been playing the phantom online games and as much as i have loved them in the past, i am truly beginng to hate the new 3-D so far it all seem like it is for show, just good window dressing and nothing more, great graphic and pretty colors but what happen to gamibling and fun?? if you don't want us to have money or powers then run a rummage sale in the mall for $1 a bag so i can atleast have some fun!! i'm really sick of spinning and getting no where on this game!! willowsgram:confused::mad::(:mad::mad::mad:

I agree with everything except the 3D comments. I much, much prefer the 3D world and first person view because it makes the game feel more realistic for me, more like I'm in a real casino, which is what I'm after. So I wouldn't want that taken away BUT it seems like it would be all right if the people who didn't like it had some kind of map to warp from one place to another. As long as I could continue to have my 3D casino I wouldn't have a problem with the people who don't like it having an alternative as long as I didn't have to use it.

You don't want to make the quests so hard they aren't fun anymore, or that people end up having to loathe a machine they used to love because they had to play it to death trying to beat a quest. For people who want their quests really hard, they are welcome to not use powers on them. And if there were difficulty options (easy, medium, hard) with different rewards that would be perfectly fine with me too. But I agree, it's ridiculous. In 7 months I never once got the progressive jackpot in Magicka - now I'm supposed to get one in a quest? How many months am I going to be doing that quest (and doesn't it reach a point where it gets ridiculous?) I love that machine - I don't want to have to start hating it.

I like challenges a lot - but "challenge" means skill is involved in my definition. These slot machines are pure luck, unless you count being smart enough to use powers and being a fast button masher skill. Purely luck based "challenges" aren't fun because they don't "challenge" my brain, just my PATIENCE!

I don't know what's next on the agenda for the developers but I hope it's more casino stuff before any more adventure quests. Like stuff we've been looking at in the game that's been unplayable since Live launched. Still waiting for bingo, poker bots, mall stores, table tournaments.... but I've "gone" there many times and I feel like a broken record so hopefully I've got my message across and don't need to again...

VegasShowgirl I couldn't agree w/u more....................you said it all, and the quests and challanges are making me hate some games cuz I've tried them so much.
I don;t know what is next either, but the walking actually makes me tired from running around the casino, lol. The card rooms are empty also and I LOVE cards. I'm recently back and I'm having the time of my life, but I see all ur points.

Binkster,

I am glad you are having fun but, as I told you, this is how it is in the casino or "partial casino". The good thing is that you are enjoying yourself and, hopefully, you will continue to do so. At least you can see for yourself that "Live" is not the way it was supposed to be and that it is more oriented to questing (if you can call those quests) than to being a virtual casino. :(

Best of luck to you.
