Ads

[Lyonz]

Can everyone agree the ads are way way way way too long I say this I have had to endure watching the copilot ad 4times! x5! On 2 accounts so x2! @Harlems369th can we get this fixed 15seconds is more than enough these ads seem like 5minutes. Also the train simulator ad is like a movie!

And now we get to watch 3 ads instead of just 2... isn't it fantastic?

Ads are singular and 15secs on the web version

Yes.
And as I said elsewhere, I do not want to give BHG/LTG the information necessary to open a Domi-World account.
So, the extra-long commercials are the price I pay for that. And, conversely, shorter commercial breaks (and Tokens) are the carrot they dangle to get one to sign up for Domi-World.

So why bother complaining? You have the opportunity to change the situation but choose not to ...

 

[JuggernautJ]

Technically, my sarcastic barb wasn't a complaint it was... a sarcastic barb.

And I "choose" not to give in to the corporate/government attempt to gain as much information as possible on everyone.
Even if one doesn't perceive the gathering of such information as a threat both of these (the extended commercials and trying to coerce people to reveal personal information) are symptoms of an attempt to increase monetarizement of the game.
Of course, that's BHG's prerogative but I don't have to cooperate. That's my choice.

100% i agree and if i get this add i just close the game and retry until i get the one you can skip after 30sec those are NOT ads anymore they are longer than Movie Trailers , and some after you get the x option then you have to wait like 10sec then anther 6ec count down then a few sec to really get the true x and that's if it doesn't take you to the web browser and app store

Out of curiosity: How is your city currently connected?
Didn't we also need Xsolla accounts on mobile devices, i.e., email or Google/Apple ID?
Or are you still using a guest account? Clear your cache once and the city is lost.

If you are concerned about your mailbox, you can use an service for alias / mail forwarding / mail relay (e.g. addy.io , forwardemail.net , proton, firefox, ...). This makes it easy to identify and shut down the source of spam.
But to be fair, I haven't received any spam from bhg (yet).

The more you promote it, or the more people use it, the more likely it is that bhg will implement real advertising after all.

I wasn't doing it for bhg ... in any case, they don't need my help to screw us.

Personally, long ads are okay. Making me hit tiny 'x' button is annoying. Especially some ads that put fake X button to kidnap people to their app is dang vicious.

 

[SirBiggun]

Yes the most annoying thing is you have to X put like 3-4 times, which is why I dont bother at all, the crap you get from ads isn’t remotely worth it. If they were smart they halve the times of the ad and allow one click to exit or better yet just automatically exit the ad. This way more people might actually watch them. Pointless having long ads if everyone avoids the, defeats the purpose . I can’t remember last time I watched an ad. I don’t even watch the retrain ads, troops train quick enough, the mercs I’ll just use my own trade goods, I have plenty Most of the time, except diamonds, I am usually short those .

 

[Cool Guy]

One workaround is to Google products or services in your local area. You will then get ads for those products which are generally a lot shorter.

Who is monitoring ads? I have just been shown an ad calling itself smart screw and that's exactly that was happing in the ad when retraining my troops. Let me be clear it was poragraphic, disgusting and no report ad button to be seen! It doesn't even exist in app store for me to report there so why is dominations showing me and potentionally children such content. The ad must have been hacked in some way I assume but however it is happening, it's offensive.

Ads are based on your prior browsing history. BHG or LTG do not control ads or the types of ads that appear; if you do, however, run into inappropriate ads, please report them to CS.
