Original post > here

 

I suggest adding an extra step before spending diamonds - like an "Are you sure?" pop-up question.  I have seen this option before in games like the Tapped Out.  I have spent  diamonds on accident just because of an errant touch to my phone's screen.  

 

While we're on the subject, can you refund the 99 diamonds I mistakenly pushed yesterday?  This was in reference to a party extension.  Also, 99 diamonds to extend a party is way too much.

 

This would be good. Also, separate slots for earned and bought diamonds where it shows the amount you have. Possibly a setting that could be checked to always use earned diamonds before bought ones where ever possible

Hi Eileen...

Wonderful suggestion... it will be brought to the dev staff team for consideration.

 

Thank you for your contribution.

Hi,

I've noticed a weird mistake in the hover tip when donating diamonds to studio. I will attach a pic if I am able. On hover it says they must be bought diamonds and my amount is something over 2000. My actual diamond total of bought and acquired diamonds combined is only a couple hundred. This should be impossible. I had a similar issue earlier in which I purchased 200 diamonds and tried to buy dummies for the studio which were 150. I'd only used 10 of the 200, which were donated to the studio. The game insisted that I needed to buy more than 100 more bought diamonds to complete the transaction. I understand this game makes money by selling diamonds, but there really needs to be some clarity as to which diamonds are which in a player's account and which are being spent on what.

Hi Eileen,

 

I created a new topic that merged your previous suggestion under "Diamond Spending Confirmation Button" with this display bug post.  You had placed both posts in the correct areas of the forum, but these two subjects are more related than not.

 

Also, way to go on finding this display error.  It's odd.  I checked my account and it says I have 48K diamonds to spend for donation... I wish.  I only have a couple thousand (combined earned and bought) at the moment, so the display amount for donation is highly inflated.  It might represent the total of all diamonds you've ever bought historically.  The counter doesn't appear to have taken off the ones you've spent.

 

Also, we can ask for clarity on the other issue of having an option to declare which diamonds you'd like spend first, but I think unless you are donating, the default is you will spend your earned diamonds first, leaving the purchased diamonds in reserve.

 

Thanks again for your contributions.  (smug)

I have a related question/suggestion... The question is why can't you donate earned diamonds to the studio? And the suggestion would be to allow this option. Not much would change anyway, because the amount of diamonds needed for the studio upgrades is much higher than what players can donate from earned diamonds. The donations would thus be more of a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the studio than anything else. In practice, you could only finance a few upgrades from the earned diamonds donated to the studio or maybe buy a couple of cakes/hire some doubles, but bigger expansions would still require diamonds to be bought in the shop.

Hi Amberson

 

I have a related question/suggestion... The question is why can't you donate earned diamonds to the studio? And the suggestion would be to allow this option. Not much would change anyway, because the amount of diamonds needed for the studio upgrades is much higher than what players can donate from earned diamonds.

So, the question is: Why can't we donate our earned diamonds to studio?

 

While I agree expanding studios is costly with a capital COST, I don't know the answer to the question.  There must have been some logical reason - perhaps to get players to spend real money to expand studios.  But even this is somewhat relaxed with the ability to earn studio diamonds in Temple Challenges, but at the current rate of win/spend it will take a small time of eternity to get your studio fully expanded (if it is not already).

 

And the suggestion is: Please allow players to donate earned diamonds to studio.

 

Okay, suggested it will be - thanks for the contribution.

Hi Amberson. You may already know this but people who can't for whatever reason purchase diamonds to donate can help their studio earn diamonds by concentrating on the tasks associated with whatever is up for Temple. View your studio and click the itemple icon near the upper right. You'll get a rundown of what is required. At the bottom of that window, there's a progress bar. If you hover you can see the current progress of your studio members combined including how many studio diamonds you've earned together so far

I'm almost every week among the Top 3 biggest temple contributors in my studio, so I know how this thing works and try to be useful. ;) The mentioned studio is part of a small club of fully expanded studios on UK2 and we have a two or three players that buy and donate diamonds regularly (that's why we're fully expanded in the first place). This means that the lack of diamonds is not a pressing concern for us (we also win 200+ of them in the Temple every week), but I was still surprised when I found out that you can't donate earned diamonds. It doesn't make sense to me, because as I tried to explain in my previous post, in my opinion allowing this option would not deprive to game of much money needed to finance its existence, since significant expansions and other studio advantages (cakes + doubles) would still not be possible without bought diamonds.
