1- The BASE was a major upgrade to the game and few extras in the side.
a- That takes time, manpower and money to develop a game enhancement.
2- The improvement was told very clear; it will pop a message to acknowledge and accept the upgrade and be permanent.
3- Old accounts had the option to op in or stay out of the change but new accounts will come as it is with base integrated
4- We are not the game owner; they invested the resources for our entertainment and the BASE was tested by players.
5- Players with accounts before the change like my OKI DOKI acc, some of them like in my case, crated another account to test the BASE without altering the accounts before the change to ensure was worthy or not.
My O.D.FARM it is my testing account for base. That mean, it is an account create after the upgrade.
My personal opinion due to my own test
1- The BASE is good in long run without any doubt
2- In the short term, you need to balance how to use properly your gold to enhance BASE and to make parts
3- To be a bit smart with the BASE, you need to be smart in your farming work if you are not a click dude buying gold like Clevername meaning that you have to work on farming in a very steady way.
4- To enhance the BASE it is simple but require thinking according to farming and balance gold usage. The other factor it is the player that complain because don't want to work on it been too lazy by nature looking the freebie collecting rewards without work.
5- Some honest players do have hard time to balance because can't play every day due to school as example and parental rules in the house.
a- It is a game, and you play when have time for entertainment. The developer created a game for people to play but they do not control players personal life.
6- The basic to deal with the BASE, you can follow these steps
a- The BASE HQ, just need to be enhanced till you can obtain the 4 gold mines. You do not need to enhance in full until you are a player properly developed with some power.
b- The Factories I think will be 3 of them by the time you get the 4 gold mines, none of them should be upgraded beyond Level 2.
1- Level 2 provide the close simulation on crafting parts instead of buying parts as before BASE accounts and the cost it is very close to it and do the same and can get epics if properly administrate resources.
c- Enhance all gold mines to L20 in a balanced way. Pushing too hard in just one, it cost and affect the reserves but been smart doing one level at the time, it does allow to increase gold reserves. The gold that generates the mines, have to be use as return to investment back to the mines level up so do not count on that gold to deal with weapons.
d- Do not go to L15 because power kits on factories, the cost is too much for any player at any power level and advancement even for me. That require to think and manage. Because cost to craft the P.K., people think that all will be magic, it does cost then to level up the part. That it is dual expense which in the end, require farming. "Ton of Farming" and I am a farmer so I can talk about it.
e- Just to say, the Base can be finished in 6 months as was tested by players in normal way and published back then. Sure, the player was developed already and not suffering with the upgrade. For new players, can take a bit longer because maybe limited time to play the game but for real farmer, even starting a L1 account, it can make it in 6 months.
IT IS THE BASE FUNCTIONAL AND GOOD TO HAVE...
THE ANSWER IT IS YES, AND NO LONGER COMPLAIN PLEASE.
THE GAME OWNER GAVE TO ONE PLAYER TO GET BACK THE ACCOUNT REMOVING THE BASE BACK THEN BECAUSE THERE WAS A GLITCH IN THE ACCEPTING OPTION POPING EVERY CHANGE WHEN MOVING TO WAR TO CAMPAIGN OR ELSE AND CLICKED BY MISTAKE BECAUSE ON FIRST PLACE, WHEN THE PLAYER INDICATED NO, IT KEPT FORCING TO ACCEP. THE OWNER CORRECTED BUT THE PLAYER MENTIONED IN THE FORUM. OTHER PLAYERS HAD SIMILAR ISSUE AND WERE FIXED BUT SOME OTHER PLAYERS JUST WANTED TO GO BACK AND NEW PLAYERS BACK THEN FIGURE OUT THAT THERE WERE ACCOUNTS WITHOUT BASE, THEN THEY WANTED TO REMOVE BASE AND THAT WAS NOT THE IDEA OF THE GAME UPGRADE. THE OWNER REMOVED SOME BUT MANY PLAYERS WANTED TO REMOVE JUST NOT THINKING PROPERLY OF THE BENEFIT WANTING TO BE LAZY AND DO NOTHING.
JUST GUESSING, THE OWNER FED UP WITH THIS CONSTANT REQUEST FOR NO REASONS AND AS SHOULD, THEY DOES NOT HAVE TO REMOVE BASE BECAUSE THIS IS THE CURRENT LAY OUT OF THE GAME.
JUST PLAY THE GAME AND HAVE FUN.
