Guys

you are making this game way too much complicated, to  such an extent  that now we cant enjoy it

Best wishes

The buildings in your update all require sketches to complete, unable to discover any of the lost arts as you forgot to add a Stoneheart dedicated sage to do this with. The whole update is as pointless as both the champions and the invisible castle def. I haven't spent a dime on this game since  you added these nor will I.

First Bug

Resources from new quests are not being sent to Black Market - http://prntscr.com/ky5aw1

Can't even fix the broken game before adding more content that breaks the game. What the hell kinda ship your running over there? 

Constructed Stoneheart Units are not being sent directly to Catacombs - http://prntscr.com/ky6saa

Bad news for all

The first batch of comments seem to be an accurate reflection of this new update. Plarium has added another layer of complexity to a game, which already has too many layers to it. Plarium continues to add, so-called new and improved items to the game. Rather than continually adding things, start removing them. Return to the basic game structure and improve those basics. There was a time when if your troops exceeded your food production capabilities, troops deserted/died until a balance was achieved. Vampire units once had 2 distince advantages over regular troops: they ate far less and were stronger and the list goes on. 

I do not fault Plarium for their desire to run a profitable business. But for that, the rest of us would not have access to the free games that we do. Plarium's business model appears to be predicated on instant gratification; hence Plarium makes it very easy to spend your money. I believe Plarium is being short-sighted in adding new items, which require you to spend money, regularly to the game. They increase income but at the cost of driving players away from the game. Thus you have more and more things to spend money on, but fewer and fewer players doing it. I believe Plarium would be far better served by returning to and improving the game basics. Make this game fun and interesting to play once again. Doing that, would maintain and increase your player base, as well as, reducing player turn-over. Build a large, enthusiastic and loyal customer base, many of whom will spend money from time-to-time, and you will produce a stable, long-term, income stream.

Problem is, there is no extension and enhancing of the core game. Imho from a business point of view, keep players ass in the seats and spend as much time with the game as possible should be of interest. Stacking the game with paywall after paywall have the quite opposite effect. I got no idea who they target this game to any longer, because no one I know that into gaming is interested in such.

After two tournaments with the champion stuff, I'm so feed up with it, because.. its boring asf...  This stoneheart thing is of so little interest I can't even be bothered with it. It doesn't add anything for me, or give me anything in form for game play and value. 

By all means, I'm no big spender and never spent much on this game. But Plarium doesn't really make me keen on spending any more on this game either. It's like a bottomless pit, feed me, feed me, FEED ME MORE SEYMOUR....  its never enough...  at least, people with their slot machines, they chasing the dream of a big payout some day....  we are just players stuck in an abusive relationship, so far from a healthy symbiosis necessary to make a online game thrive as we can get. 

I believe the phrase "screen-door on a submarine" applies here.......

Unless we all quit working and sleeping and/or go to the Altarian 37 hour day, no one can keep up with all that needs to done in this game!!!!!

Hello :) 

There is quite a long list of requirements you need to fill in before getting access to the Stoneheart Castle: https://www.screencast.com/t/33BsIFRO

It means that this feature is for experienced players who already did major updates in their main Castles. 

Actually, Stoneheart Castle doesn't add smth new in terms of mechanics but gave more opportunities for old players to develop and upgrade in the game, receiving Bonuses in exchange. 

So, I don't think that the game became too complicated because of this update.

I think it might the update that makes me quit. It devalues the time and money we spent on the game already. Seriously 75% CDB reduction? Regular boosts not working with SH buidings/lost arts? How greedy and short sighted can you be?

- 40hr SH boost priced at 93,400 sapphires. ...

....

Its actually 40d. boost. Which makes it "only" twice as expensive as regular boosts.

Hello!

You can receive Sketches as Reward in the Tournaments (we already forwarded the request to devs to increase their number in Rewards).

Let me guess;after Stoneheart it will come Ironheart and after it Goldheart each one with new troops new arts new buildings and all this after Stoneheart will become obsolete.Tell me i m wrong or i might  just gave you a new idea  lol

well stoneheart Castle is no benefit to non coiners and is pointless to New players and non coiners for what takes and requires to use and Upgrade building just another coining feature by the way if Wondering i'am a coiner and a big spender and plarium vip but even i as all those Things won't be spending any Money or Sapphires on this anytime soon not that i can't just that i dont want too bad move plarium bad update even worser if you are a New player and non coiner and worse of all they don't have catacombs as well meaning that troops can be killed easily by big hammers that not problem for me i can defeat big hammers but new players and non coiners can't by the way it is pointless to add this update anyway as the Death of this game Draw ever closer to imploding as this game is basically at Death door so this update was pointless at this stage of the game as where it is now and where it is going and heading  as i said bad move plarium bad update this is

All players have Catacombs no matter whether they're new or not, using the in-game purchases or not.
