Different map views "old" versus "new". Can you find your view? If not, post a screenshot and share.
!!! Please do not compare event destinations and/or permanent contractors, only standard material destinations are in question. !!!

"Old version"

"New version?"

Ticket Number: 1048379

Interesting... Are we playing 2 different games? 🤔

CynthiaF

OK! Info time 😉😀

@LockDog you are right, there are currently two different versions active.

This is what I was told from support:

Currently PF runs an A/B Test with different versions of material destination
What will happen is a switch from one to the other, so all players will use the same destinations and map - which one of these two, and when exactly (plan is late fall 2021) is not clear yet.

Quote: "So in short - a A/B test is being evaluated and once we have definite answers and data our team will switch for either one option or the other. Before that, we will off course let everyone know."

In case anyone is interested, here are the "old version" destinations with their respective travel times. Locations you can see on my screenshot above.
Lagoon - 1 hr
Gulf - 1 hr
Cave -1 hr
Grove - 1 hr
Blacksmith - 1 hr
Small Town - 5 min
Coastline - 15 min
Neighborhood - 4 hrs
Riviera - 8 hrs
Forest - 8 hrs
Rocky Mill - 8 hrs
Rubble - 4 hrs
Iron Mill - 8 hrs

I would appreciate (for better understanding) If one of the players (who is more advanced than my level 22 account 😂) with the "new version" could post a screenshot with the locations and provide the travel times for the destinations. 😀

LockDog

CynthiaF No problem
Lagoon - 1 hr
Gulf - 1 hr
Rubble -1 hr
Grove - 1 hr
Blacksmith - 1 hr
Small Town - 5 min
Neighborhood - 8 hrs
Riviera - 8 hrs
Forest - 8 hrs
Rocky Mill - 8 hrs
Iron Mill - 8 hrs

we used to have a 10-minute wood destination but the devs nerfed it

CynthiaF

LockDog Wow! To see the complete picture is very interesting. Up to now I only knew that there were some differences but this is way more. One of us will not be happy when the version of the other is chosen 😂😂😂 I just picture myself sending my ships to the 1 hr cave for stone, ending up sending them for 8hrs to Rock Mill. Oh boy, this is going to be fun, or not 🥴🤣

LockDog

I suspected something was wrong while reading tales about progress by @Tigger1987

CynthiaF

hoofhearted I know, been around long enough 😉 But at least the Wood destination stayed in the same place, even though there was a name change too after a while. Guess we will see what happens 🙃

CynthiaF Guess we will see what happens

….chaos…. 🤦‍♀️

CynthiaF

Podifer That could very well be 😂

@CynthiaF @Podifer @LockDog
I just hope they do not get rid of coastline as I can very rarely run small town. I do not like the new version at all compared to the old one.

Podifer

Tigger1987 I do not like the new version at all compared to the old one.

Me neither…

I will undoubtedly send ships in all the wrong directions if the newer version is adopted, over 3 years of muscle memory will be hard to undo - tbh, I still can’t understand why the devs felt the need to move all the locations around, I just can’t see any reason for it.

I also wonder whether some of newer versions may, in addition to requiring more steps to max out, finish with having lower end multipliers when compared to the old version. For players like me, that won’t make any difference as we have an abundance of materials, but others may feel the pinch.

I suspect if PF do change to one system, it will be the newer one, or something very close to it - they won’t want to upset their newer players which are probably their main source of revenue for the game, even if us older players paid our share to them in the past.

Replying to this now because of real life craziness but my biggest problem would be if they get rid of the 4 hour destinations as right now they are great for work runs. I do not want to be off work and stuck waiting 2 hours to play because I have to use 8 hour runs. If they do it, I would pry just do one set of overnight and work runs combined and play until I go to bed for the night, as I usually am up another two hours after I set up my overnight runs anyway. It would just make it harder on my playtime to keep up with the game and progress.

Oddly enough, there is a way to keep everyone happy. Keep the A/B testing in place permanently. Do nothing is often the best way.
