I'm sure that you will like most of them if you can adapt your strategy.

It wouldn't been so bad if the cost wasn't so excessive. For the simplest comparsion, go to steam, then just browse the featured list of games, then just start compare price of what you can get for your moneys worth. Just take Age of Wonders III that probably the closest you get to Stormfall in setting as example.

New game features mean little if we the players can't really afford to explore them much. This game take a long time to play, thus it would made far more sense to keep us have to invest less but more over time. It's really pointless to discuss, but Plarium got over priced games, and that is the bottom line of things.

You've got a point here, but let's don't forget about all the opportunities to get free Sapphires. Of course, you can't get 100k in a week, but you can move by little steps.

In EVE-Online I can spend a couple days grind stuff ingame for ingame currency I can trade in for a month worth of subscription time.

In SWTOR I can spend time grind for ingame currency I can spend on the market buying things other players bought in the cash shop and is selling such as vanity armors, mounts and things like that. As a subscriber you even get free cartel coins to use every month. Heck even just to activate a security key you get a monthly grant for that too.

There is so many games out there that is going f2p but not necessary p2w, they buying into the whole "vanity" and "effort " of the players. I don't mind spend time grind, I don't mind walk around in raggs with a bucket on the head, when knowing the dude next to me flashing like a xmas tree might have less stats even he look more flashy.

In Stormfall I can spend 2 months build units, then go on a BG spree for a tourney, and the sapphires I end up with would still cut me short on things like sketches. I can't get 100k sapphires in a week, month, not even a year. Unless I'm willing to spend a bucket on sapphires to start with.

A bit of selfless promotion here, but I think I made a thread that might be able to add a perspective to this discussion

Yes, they diversified the gameplay but not in a good manner.

For example hamlets. There is no way to adapt my strategy WITHOUT costs. Hunting for hamlets cost you a lot of time, patience and drawing blanks or sapphs. It's just annoying.

Time ago you got some sapphs for daily logging in. It was a little bit more profitable for the players and it would empower us to enjoy "new features", at least occasional.

But you can still get free Sapphires for daily log in: On days 30, 60, 90.

daily login for 90 days get you 250 sapphires.... If you miss a day, back to scratch... There is a reason why players have other players babysit their castles and such if they have to go away for a few days, vacation etc. You should make it so it count towards every day you login total and not consecutive. But in the grand scheme of things, 250 sapphires after 90 days is.. a drop in the ocean.

You receive 600 Sapphires in total for 90 days, not 250. Don't forget this

And yes, you need to log in daily to receive a reward. Because it's the reward for the consecutive login. If you prefer playing only a few days a week, it's your choice. But you can't receive this kind of reward then. It's fair.

If people only got a few times a week on their schedule they can sit down with their game, and spend their "valuable time" in your game. I think that should be rewarded too.

And yes, you are correct over a duration of 90 days, that is 600 sapphires. A whole whooping 6.6 sapphires a day!!! WHOW...

People got lives, they not drones. Still 600 sapphires over a duration of 90 days is still a drop in the ocean. What can we get for this?

Lets see, 12 level 1 wall pieces. Or how about one fireball? maybe a single hydra. Or ONE crystal coffer level 2... Or why not a single 12 hour universal boost if you spend another 60 sapphires extra.

or why not. Imagine if you login in every day for a entire year. You can afford to buy ONE Great western dragon and get some chump change over......

And all this magnificant reward for make sure you log in and click your game every single day....

You know this sounds unreasonable right?

the game has become utterly boring and cluttered with what amounts to pop up ads trying to get you to buy saphires.

every aspect of the game is an attempt to squeeze sapphires out of the player.

Nobody is forcing you to play every day. It's always your choice. And Daily Loyalty Roll is not a basic game feature. It's an incentive for everyday players, but nothing more.

ok so the game before was nice because it did not cost crazy amounts of dollars and seemed to remain considerate of players wallets however that has changed and not for the better . The last player made quite a nice presentation of the fact that it has become all about buying sapphires and im about ready to quit this game because of it . It is no longer a fun game but just another bill that i have to pay upon each week. I would like to make a point though you said your trying to make customers and the team a more together team but there is no team when it is staff and owners making decisions for us we clearly do not want . no one wants this game to have more costs of sapphires it was enough before now is just over the top . If you really want to bring customers and staff more closer together how about giving them a public survey to see if they want this game to cost more sapphires also listening customers when they say they dont want more costly sapphire would actually help but if you ask and ignore what they say then it not really a team is it ? supply and demand. plarium has offered a game up (service aka supply) however over time within the year taking all the cost increases to different aspects and such the game has went up in cost nearly 47 % more then the cost of rise of my annual annual taxes . That tells me the game increase has been way over the top . I mean if you use a credit card that you just got last yr and the interest rate goes up by a 47 % cost would any of us keep that card ? I am very dissppointed in plarium at the unfair raises and costs . You even have to buy equipment now to do a bg ? You keep stating give the game a chance we really dont need to give the game more of chance because your not hearing what players are saying they are saying they liked the game the way it was and dont want to pay more . not only that over the past few months everything that was free has now been offered to a cost added with it .It isnt hard to figure out that soom nearly nearly every active part of the game will soon cost money and people join a game to play have fun but a game is no longer fun when it seems to become another weekly bill at the rate of game cost I would be paying more then my phone bill per week in it :D that how expensive it has gotten

Just about every online/mmo game out there, reward or incentiive the player to log on daily to play the game. Knowing the more time they spend in and with the game they prone to spend rl cash on it (where it applies). Stormfall doesn't really offer such a incentive to do so. Our time is worth something to, and we can only spread it around so much you know.

That is ALonya's horrible attitude toward players that i was referring too in the post that was deleted.

deleting posts criticizing your attitude definately says something about your bad attitude.

What a brutal demonstration of power. She can and she does. Bad children should be punished! To learn what they could and what they should!

Pure fantasy like this game!

This is perhaps the most poignant statement you have made to date.
Perhaps me and a few other will take you up on this.... this last update was complete waste on the time it takes to login.
Show me where in all this forum ANYONE asked for heroes or changes to header bar...

actually i suggested heroes however nothing from my suggestion made it to the update

i suggested a lot of features and content where you get to play it however what they delivered is a hero that effects your troops stats

lol we already have dragon arts / obelisk / runes / lost arts to do what the hero does

sooooo

no real strategy no new game play but of course it is nice to have an avatar they didn't even bother to add special abilities no all you do is change its appearance and you have to pay sapphs to do that (after the free time)
