It's very likely not on our end so I'm not sure what the expectation is when these threads are created

We shouldn't have to pay for bonuses, I think that's pretty obvious but it skips people's mind when paying for a clear advantage serves them, having a repeat failed bonus collecting system should warrant a change in ways people can collect bonuses instead of saying "it's not our fault it is happening"

I agree the standard bonus could be revamped to something like the 20a bonus for just logging in past midnight. It's been a problem for a while. That said this is bigger than just a general troubleshooting and it doesn't affect everyone. So tame your expectations and try to be constructive.

The premium bonus isn't meant to be more than twice the points tho, it's meant to be about the same points(slightly more) with some QoL improvement.

I can see why people would be disappointed at the amount of time the bonus from that site hasn't worked.

KoH is obv a supporter of this game as he is a Patron, I would expect the developer(s) to take it serious.

Yeah that is what I meant with the 20a bonus. This could have the same mechanism for instance. Because frankly the votes don't matter anymore.

That likely wont happen with bonus points because it would disincentivize people to buy coins for the automatic bonus.

In order for it to make sense to buy coins there needs to be some manual action required for free. Otherwise you are paying for one extra point per day along with the extra points if you log in every 22 hours or whatever the time is.

QoL is big, but I don't think people will stop using premium with such a change, I certainly wouldn't.

Clicking ads for bonus could still work? Is it worthwhile still?

Yeah certainly could and would be a nice alternative to get your bonus while still adding value to the game.

I don't think anyone minds clicking for bonus, the issue is not getting them at all and we're are already at a disadvantage vs people who have premium, that's where the frustration comes from, sure I can pay for premium, but why and what for? The game isn't getting better, if anything it's sliding off the edge into the abyss quicker than when the premium was introduced....

I always thought it was annoying that the bonuses were not synched. The posting bonus and the 20a bonus has a much better mechanism since it doesnt require anything more than posting once a week and logging in once a day to your country to get the bonus. Even with premium you got a timing issue that isn´t ideal from a QoL perspective, nor from a competetive perspective for that matter.

So I'd prefer every bonus, including the login bonuses, the regular bonus points and the premium bonus to all be independent of timing. For instance you could get the bonus first thing tomorrow if you were logged in today, or get the bonus first login you make each day.

KoH do you always play from a phone? I noticed today on my iOS device that bonus site wasn't responding but on desktop it was.

I have to turn off all the ads blockers in order to make the Top 100 Bonus site works.
Not sure if that can solve your problems.

Yeah it basically makes the game unplayable, I can’t get the 24 hour bonus anymore, it just stopped working. I can click on all the tall buildings and street lights and jump through all the hoops and cast my vote for earth empires but it just doesn’t register in the game and doesn’t give me the bonus points

This means that I have 0 chance to win versus anyone who pays for premium and I would hope that’s not the way premium was designed
