Yep I’m loosing all mine too because I now have no funds to keep them and as I’m losing them the amount I make off parties is slowly going down too. This is beyond brutal; i worked hard to get where I am.

Yep I’m pissed
I simply cannot understand why this update is being released in waves. You have acknowledged that the dorm tower is a CORE feature of the game. You guys are aware of this, yet you still opted for a phased release 
I really believe that's what makes this transition a mess. If you chose to dismantle a foundational game mechanic, the absolute bare minimum expected of you was a SIMULTANEOUS release for the entire playerbase. Ensure that everyone is operating under the same rules, same patch, at the same time
Staggering the rollout creates a blatantly unfair playing field, and as game developers, you guys should've known that. This isn't beta version, but you treated it as such...
You've somewhqt compromised competitve integrity just because of timing difference... This messy transition has enabled smaller accounts to snatch tutors from top players and farm targets who were previously untouchable, all simply because they happened to get the update first.

I sincerely hope there is some sort of announcement at Change Over atleast explicitly explaining a wave breakdown of who is or was in each category.
When the next phases are expected specifically with dates or times.
If there is a contingency plan in place for people who are at a disadvantage in terms of cash difference without the updated dorms.
Max plunder for example, Per Hit on a dog party I get 800M-ish a hit
On the new system I should be getting, say 1.6B a hit. (Completely guessing)
Either a reimbursement of the percentage of cash i should have got if i had been on the system. Or even just re-introducing Carepacks for those who haven't got the update until it drops.
You want everyone on the system by Halloween, but all I see is another month and a half of pay disputes between smaller and bigger players. But with no indication of when the new system rolls out next, it's hard to just sit in idle awaiting.
I'm excited for the new updated dorm system, as most are. Im just not liking the current inequality inevitably caused from releasing it in stages.

Oh yeah idk what happened there, sounds like either a weird bug or smth ATA needs to work out when ppl want to use different devices for one account.
Can we at least get an approximate MCS range and target date for the following rollouts, instead of vaguely saying “mid to late game before Halloween”?
Now that the early-to-mid players (stat-wise) have received the update, it has put players in the mid-range stats at a significant disadvantage.
Players around 100–150 MCS who haven’t received the update yet are currently experiencing a massive strip from players who already have the update. At the same time, players who haven’t received the update but have accumulated a lot of CoH can use it to bump their tutors, whose MCS has increased significantly because of the update.
This creates a pretty large gap between players who have received the update and those who are still waiting.
We’re not necessarily asking for an exact date, but could we at least get something like:
100–125 MCS → estimated rollout date
125–150 MCS → estimated rollout date
150–200 MCS → estimated rollout date
Even a rough MCS range and target week would help players understand where they stand and plan accordingly, rather than having to guess what “mid to late game before Halloween” means.
Right now, the uncertainty itself is becoming a disadvantage for the players who are still waiting for the update.

They want you to lose tuts so you solo during promo giving them a good year end bonus. Selfish really. Why else would they release it to smaller accounts instead of bigger accounts first. The big ones are the bigger spenders and they know we will spend to get more cash while we wait for our turn. They never denied this.
If the motivation for dorm tower exchange is for rebalancing the game, yall just made it worse. The game is more than about dorm mates.
After receiving the update, i upgraded my alts. Naturally I made some mistakes like a noob and i suppose we all did to a degree because the way we used to upgrade is changed. New rules and new mechanics and all.
It would be nice if ata give us a free chance to reset tower once more after the update is finalized so that people get used to the new upgrade system.
Also, it'd would be nice if ata or the mods provide a guide on how to upgrade properly.

Unfortunately how I'm feeling about this at the moment, but if it is to boost sales during black friday, all this has done is discourage me from actually playing the game or spending any more money. And it has also hindered the reputation of the game itself. I would never have expected such a generic response from a game as established as pimd, and actually understand or sympathise with the players reproach to this whole situation.
I just need a more detailed post with the upcoming releases and who will actually be getting it next. As previously mentioned by others.. it's hard to plan around or even help others when were also working with a new system that we haven't even seen yet.

Something is off with this update compared to previous updates. Did they even dropped the tier level for current update? My tier 9 player was same on tier 9 in other account which got update earlier. But in this account my tier 9 was replaced with tier 7 player.
Ignore the old tiers, Read the original post.
Less tiers, but stronger people & much easier to upgrade.
People seem fixated on the old tiers. Treat them like they dont exist once you have the new update. Your stats will be higher than before anyway, presumably. And if not, you would have been given a healthy lump of cash in reimbursement to help you upgrade.
I hate seeing all these later/veteran players getting treated this way. I do feel if this was how you were going to release things, either they should’ve been first or it should have taken a week as originally planned.
Lots of these players are friends and mentors to their tuts. They help them, they max their gifts for them, give them game advice, gift them furniture or Avis, etc etc, and don’t want to lose them/be stripped. Not to mention with every tut hired, these players lose max plunder they worked hard to obtain.
Here is how I look at it:
The players that were in this recent wave were already frustrated enough having to wait three entire waves to finally get theirs, with the time between waves being 1-2 weeks plus with a promo in that waiting period. And they’re early to mid game.
I was frustrated enough to pretty much quit playing after promo and a little bit before too bc seeing the disadvantage made me not want to play. It was discouraging, seeing as the 2 years I had put into my account seemed to mean nothing.
Now, translate this to someone who’s been here for 4, 5, 6 years plus and has invested tons of resources, time and effort into building their accounts as slowly as they did on the old system.
Some of them might not see a point in playing and it’ll make you lose top spenders/veterans if you continue with these vague updates that only explain the bare minimum of what we should know so we can plan accordingly.
Countless times, myself and dozens of others have asked for what we consider basic info, such as:
What are the stat ranges for each group?
Will the later groups be broken into batches like us? What is the projected date/time frame for each group to receive theirs?
What will be done to patch up the disadvantage these players are left at, stats and tuts/cash plunder wise?
However, we continue to see none of those questions answered. Why is that? A couple of those have been main points of contention and criticism ever since the initial announcement.
These are good questions your players are asking, they are showing you they are interested enough to engage and ask them in the first place. Shouldn’t that be enough reason to answer them?

Not a week, 2 weeks* mb
Ngl the ones complaining after receiving the update are the cause of it taking so long for the rest of the community. Can you wait to submit help tickets and stuff until after everyone receives it? It’ll be easier fixing the old dorm tower stuff as a mass vs one by one if you’re all bombarding their tickets.
This is why they don’t update us anymore. No matter what some of y'all will never be happy.

It is honestly ridiculous with this whole new dorm tower thing. I mean now they are saying it will be completely rolled out by Halloween, but I bet even then there will be some magical delays. I am sure there will be some random promos that people who have not gotten the update will see no benefits to this.
Pimd has really become just about the money now and honestly it’s just sad. Had taken a break from the game before but coming back seems like it’s just worse than before.
