I asked about this awhile ago, and there was some chatter about how it might be done. The main talk was on what happens when you choose a building to buy and then given a number to purchase (Say 20 in this example) and then what will happen to them.
For example, will they be put into your city one by one as you place them and do so until your done placeing?
Here is my next thought on this….
What if we can purchase multiple buildings at once and after the purchase, they are put into our storage area to be used in our city when and as we desire, rather than trying to place them one at a time in that moment of purchase.
Any thoughts?
@Samantha is this still a possibility? Could this action work better by having them instantly stored in our storage area as a one lump dump?

@NashRivers I think any idea that lets us purchase multiple bldgs at once is a GREAT idea!!

I’ve passed your request along to our teams.
Me too as I have arthritis and shaking hands…if i need to put 10 or more City view buildings down it is strenuous and painful. I might have to rethink continuing with this game that I so enjoy!!

My hands also cramp up with all the scrolling needed to keep buying .
Many of us have been asking CW for at least the last 4 years to add a function to be able to purchase multiple buildings at one time, but as of yet, it still hasn’t happened. I finally gave up asking. Samantha keeps passing it along, but the decision makers evidently don’t think it’s worth their time and effort. Not sure why not.
On this months reward path, there are 2 buildings. I waited until I had enough rewards to get both at the same time. Once I did, i went to my city and it allowed me to place both one at a time. So, that means it held both in sequence and allowed me to place them one at a time. I wonder if this same practice can be in place for multiple building purchases.

Here is another thought on this @Samantha
Could it be possible that to purchase multiple buildings at one time, you have to click it as an option in your settings. Much like the “High-Roller” setting, and maybe only available when you have reached 10 Billion like the High-Roller option is.
This way, it can keep newer players from over-spending before they get a good feel for the game. Much like the High-Roller is for players who have a better understanding of the game.

While our teams consider this feature, they will look into the best way to make it accessible for players.

We can present a business case demonstrating the ROI for CW if you think that would help.
My thought would be to make it available to VIP members and after 10 Billion coins where it can be turned On and Off in the “Settings” tab. If a user turns it on, they will be met with a “User Notice” for example, that might state, “Turning this feature on will allow multiple purchases of city buildings that once bought, can not be undone.”
When a user buys a building, another feature is shown that says “How many would you like to purchase?” With a set limit of maybe 10-15 at one time. (this will eliminate over-purchase accidents)
It could also trigger “Would like to purchase multiple buildings?” If they check “NO” then only 1 building will be purchased. If they check “Yes” they will be allowed to buy up to 10 or 15 at one time. (For lower cost buildings, or, maybe limited to 5 or 10 at one time depending on the value of the building)
Once they are purchased, they can be placed one at a time, or moved directly into storage all at once.
By allowing this ability to be linked with the “High-Roller” setting where the user needs to accumulate 10 Billion coins first, it will ensure that a “New User” is not accidently purchasing multiple buildings without any real concept of how a city works.
Also, adding this feature, it will create more buying since many long time users will be happier to purchase more buildings at a time, rather than having limited time to scroll and click on each one, thus, taking too much time. With easier buying ability, more will be purchased given the less time it will take to now do that.
Would these ideas help a little more @Samantha

Good luck with this @NashRivers . We’ve been asking CW to give us the ability to purchase multiple buildings for over 4 years. We could do it at one time if you clicked the purchase building button really quick, but CW took that away because players were accidently buying multiple bldgs and wanted their gems back. There would be so many ways they could set it up so people would only purchase what they want, I know I’d be spending more gems buying buildings if I didn’t have to be doing it one at a time.
It may be helpful. I’ll pass the suggestion along as well.
Thank you @Samantha We are hopeing for this one!
