Standing around and running the clock is not enjoyable for me. I know how to "cheat" the system by spam abandoning them until the shorter ones come up but that does not fix the larger issue.

I don't speak for anyone else I speak only for myself but I do not understand how standing around and waiting for 10+ minutes for a timer to end can be construed as enjoyable.

In order that this not be a complaint without any suggestion of a solution (because I'm a game designer that should know the answers to the problems I perceive apparently) I suggest removing/restructuring all the GC leves that involve being forced to wait out a timer and replace them with leves where the objective is not on a fixed timer and involves doing something and not simply waiting out the clock.

Thanks for reading.
I completely agree with this. The timer based leve's (GC or not) are just a horrible time sink. They do make a good time to get a snack / use the bathroom / catch up on some knitting / etc. Standing around doing nothin isn't what most people consider fun; although some people like to watch paint dry.

Typical Defend Leve: 2 mobs spawn, you kill them and wait 1.5-2 minutes, repeat for 6-15 minutes.


A side note, the Caravan Security needs to be picked up in pace as well. Timer begins with 15 minutes remaining and you don't see the first mobs spawn until 13:30~ish time remaining. Also their are 5 maybe 6 places where mobs will spawn iirc. There is no action, people run to where the mobs first spawn, kill them and wait for choco's to slowly walk up to them.

Solution? I don't know, the game needs more action and keeping people involved. Most of the time when I'm doing things in this game I'm alt-tabbed reading forum posts and lol'ing or watching TV.

Possible solution: Add to the game - System Requirement: 2nd monitor and/or Netflix.
