I just noticed Ben has cut all our moorings on the harder cases, when I logged on to do a favor (Inc hard) and got 9 suspects so far (and then read his message about changes).

I don't remember hearing any major complaints that the harder levels were too easy - anybody else bummed out by this?

I don't mind the 'hard' - per se. but since lots of our agency effort goes into getting favors for hunts - I gotta say this REALLY slows the process down.

You did suggest dropping back to easier levels, and I'll try that to see if I can reach my own comfort level for moving between favors without regressing to mindlessness - and I'll be interested to see what other folks think. We all have our own styles, and nothing is going to please everybody.

I appreciate how you continuously try to make this a better game - though the curmudgeon in me has to say I liked it fine the way it was.

youve really got this place up to code
i wish my mom would let me send in donations so u could make it even better (and use some of the $ on urself) ;)

How about a way to drop a level on the favors too. This is rediculous. I like the suspect number change, even if it will take a bit to get used to, but this new clamming problem is a bit much. I used to at least be able to count on the men, even they are clamming up now and I've dropped 2 levels.

I don't like the new changes so much. But I already posted about my thoughts in the game announcements.

Real life example: I am a tough and smart arch type. I was wearing a zoot suit, tommy gun, zoot hat, studded bracelent. The client gave one suspect. I ask the suspect for motive. She clams instantly.

I have been speaking with a few others long termers high experienced folks. No one seems to like this at all. I have a feeling that a few people have been complaining about the game being too easy, what they should have done is play higher level cases. As those playing on rediculously previously, with all skills, and all great clothes....aren't too happy.

Unfortunately, some of them think it is no use to post here. Still I am though.

The townspeople, pfft. In all honesty, making the game harder this way, didn't make it more interesting, just more tedious spending double the amount of time on a case.
