Hello,

nice! So many new things!

Will be possible to get sketches without buying them with saffs ? How?

Best regards,

Sol

a good first step in the right direction!!!!!!!!! compliments

now new frustration.... have all my build at lv 20, i spend many and too many resources for this..... 

but directions is this? pay or pay?

i need to use FOR FREE some of my useless gadgets.... like crystal or gain for use but not only for pay.... 

Will there be the opportunity to win these sketches in tournaments (not including development tournaments since if you have already completed your buildings your chances in these are not good)?

Otherwise serious deep pockets will be needed for these improvements.

So can any of these sketches be earned through events, or anything like that?

Upgrading like market to level 21, would take 180 sketches, 4500 sapphires.. thats like 30 USD worth of sapphires for ONE level upgrade. I can buy like GTA 5 on steam at current time for the same cost. Isn't this pricing a bit tad to high? Im all for new things get introduced to the game, but... as a gamer, your budget only got so much to go around :/

now increases gap with pay ppl and free sapphire castle (alts plarium) it's time to leave definitely

i hope this but in the meantime:

You can purchase Sketches from the Black Market, within the “Sketches” section of the “Resources" tab.

now waiting for clear ppl sapphire, near future add award tournament (after ppl  complaint), remember Fortress, little crafty

Plarium has an unstopable hunger for money and really don't care about the game anymore. 

So the only way you can get sketches is buying them ....... i take it all back its another BAD update as always

You are playing a rip off MMO.

Plarium are not the only developer to work out that your competitive spirit may drive you to spend stupid money to keep up with other players rather than be left behind in a war game.

Best move - quit  - unless you are already too invested to emotionally drop the game yet.

C&C Tiberium Alliances is an example of an MMO where they actually limit your spending so as not to allow too significant an imbalance between free to play and pay to play (you can only purchase/use so many items a day). There are one or two developers still out there with integrity but not many.

Well the only real mmo's I play at current time is sub based. And the level of entertainment gained from spending on the subs is satisfying -)

Be carefull about post criticque of the business model and the drive for sapphires, you might get the ban hammer applied. 

see how sneaky they are..???
They have not mentioned anywhere on how to get sketches other than just showing them up on the black market for people to buy with saphs.

doesn't it remind everyone of when they brought Fortresses out? they never mentioned on how to get those glory points or tomes, just showed them up for saphs like the only way to get them is by buying them for saphs. people spent shit load of saphs on it all and afterwards, once the excitement died out a bit, they say, ohh, here, you can get them from the league tourneys.

Plarium has an unstopable hunger for money and really don't care about the game anymore. 

When you want to upgrade your resource buildings only 1 lvl you'll need 2280 sketches in total at a cost of about 25.000 sapphires!!!

Another pay to win feature. Not really a game when paying gets you further than playing.

Looks like we miss only one more upgrade for game - buy sapphires with sapphires

my guess is that Plarium is losing money on this game and they need recoup losses.
