MANY players report a loss of connection or similar error (PROVEN to be at haypii's end)
Proven how? I have countless connection issues too, but guess what? We are playing on cell phones and tablets. Not fancy consoles built for gaming and consistent game internet connections. Restarting the app works EVERY time proving it is the device and not the app in my opinion.
particularly in very 'convenient' circumstances for haypi - ie: someone spent $$$ raising an army and a bug stops command function so they just lost all their $$$ and time!!
Lol really? First off, you can build a large army with very little time and definitely no money if you know anything about haypi at all. And then you think haypi is sitting around watching the game to see people with large armies making attacks and then shuts down their app at a "convenient" time to kill their army and force them to spend money? Lol...this is a joke, right? Yes, the game crashes, but it is preventable. Restart your device every hour or two. Restart the app before any large hit that could endanger your army and you will not have any issues.
Sad but true that advancement in the game is so poorly designed that only the first 100 to sign up were ever going to get anywhere, there's literally NO chances for new players.
Completely wrong. When I started this game on s66, I had no idea what I was doing. I was well back in the thousands for the first couple months. As I started to understand the game I started to move up the rankings. Eventually I was ranked #2 spending all of $15 on the game for equips. You just need to understand and play the game better if you think it is impossible to move up the rankings coming later on. And there are more goals than just your ranking. You can set your goal to be a level higher. To have a larger army. To get a bigger pp hit. To support a larger alliance army. Etc.
Alliances are UNABLE to generate a big enough army to take even a level ONE mine untill they upgrade at least 5 times (again costing lots of $$$)
Your alliance can't handle 10k cats with a 4.5mil ware house? Youch... once again maybe you need to ask around for some advice from experienced players before you go making accusations toward the game. And if you upgrade 5 times you can hold at very least a level 3 mine so you're all sorts of confused.
The PVP's are NEVER advertised and are 'first come first serve' so it's always the same people getting the chance to win the coins here - I'd not be surprised if the mods/devs or "expert players" (yeah i figured out who these happy twits are!!) win it all every time!!
Judging by the rest of your post I can guarantee you wouldn't have much of a shot (if any) at a PVP. The winners are usually spending hundreds of dollars and are very experienced players. As a person who has been top 10 for well over a year now I just finally hit the top 200 on this PVP. You also mentioned that PVP starts at the same times, right? So you have the same chance as any to get in. PVP is meant for the most experienced players from all servers to go against each other. It is about the players who are playing 12 hours a day getting a chance to compete. When you play that often, you're likely to get in when they give you the hour warning and then the hour or so that it is open.
If you point out their plot-holes or potential fraud... haypii will just Ban you!! - now we're into the real Mafia qualities of haypii.
Oh? Who has ever gotten banned for pointing out issues within haypi? Nobody I have ever known. People are banned for buying illegal coins, for glitching troops and treasures. Half of the people who complain are hackers, scammers, and fraud themselves. Haypi is a legitimate organization, albeit not always the best at giving us what we want immediately when we want it.
Just my last word... the premise and ideas behind haypii are AWESOME!!! great game for the windows phone especially.... just a shame that Haypii have gotten so greedy so quickly!! For shame sir's!!
My last word to you--you can't even spell "Haypi" and all of your accusations show your immaturity with regards to this game and the way it works. Always remember this is a mobile game. It is not meant to be among the best in the gaming world experience. If you want something of that magnitude you should look elsewhere. Haypi provides its players with an experience that allows them to have fun no matter where they are. We are not tied to a console game at our house or even wireless internet. We can access our game everywhere--that is what we play Haypi for.
In general I agree with basically all that Falaron said. I will comment on the change in price for the app. A lot of games periodically increase the price from free to more expensive. This allows them to advertise the game as "now free" and stuff like this. Haypi compensates this particular download by providing the account with additional coins on start up. If your device purchased the game for $4.99 you got the original 30 coins + 50 coins (what you get for $5) when you create your new account. I'm not saying this is "right" but a lot of companies do this from what I have heard and at least Haypi is sure to compensate with the coins that money would buy.
