I understand the reason for the change in the cooldown for mining etc., but in all reality, there are many that are concerned that it will kill the game with the mining cooldowns being so long. People had a reason to be on the game every half hour to an hour, now people won't have to be on it for 1-2, maybe even 3 days. People will stop chatting as much because they usually chat in between challenges and mining etc., and now all we have is MAYBE 5 minutes of stuff to do when we get on the game at the start of the day, and then it's pretty much that we don't have to be there for another day or two.
Is there a better way to balance things out than to have such long cooldown periods for the mine and wood?
I agree with the raised prices to help balance it out a bit more, and even maybe a tad bit longer of time for the cooldown to mine and to complete the whole mine field, but how it stands as of right now, it will take 2+ days to complete a mine. This also raises an issue with the fact that if we don't have enough wood to upgrade the mine at the time of completion, we will have to reset it and wait another 2+ days to upgrade it.
I love this game and this game is basically the only downtime I get.... now I don't have much to do on it at all, and of course I'm not the only one.
I wish there was a way to calculate the actual active time per player and have all the cooldown times based on that, so that if someone is actually active for 5+ hours per day, the mine/wood cooldown would be lower than for someone that is only actually active for less than 3 hours per day. I don't know if this is possible, but it would help balance it out for actives versus inactives and make for a more rounded system.
