I have seen this happening on the FB servers, is this now happening across all Plarium servers?

Hello.

No, it's not :) People here just want to discuss the feature itself.

So somehow i skipped past this - it is not happening on this server?  If it does happen will all Marshalls be notified or will it just be posted on the forums where only a small percentage of players will see it?

Hello.

When the feature is added to the game, the News will be posted on the Forum, plus added to the game.

Moreover, you'll be able to see the activity of your League in The Embassy > My League > Warriors window.

get rid of all the dead weight

There are hundreds of dead leagues they could remove first - all of those with level zero forts or who have never built forts, also any league with inactive marshals or zero influence points ....

.... but why force all leagues to remove CASUAL players? There is no need for this and nobody ever asked for this

The dead weight is harmless. We have been told that their defense does not participate in beacon or fort attacks anyway - If just sits there and watches the battle with a packet of popcorn

deadweight contributes to fortress defense, and fortresses are the current projection of power in the game.  

take a look at LOTBR onm server 2,  who has about 75% inactives. they remain in the top 5 ranked leagues based on their level 20 fortress, but they arent a top league. 

the inactives defending the fortress is what keeps it at level 20 keeping them in the top 5.    since the fortresses have an offensive attack cap, they are just gonna sit there in the top ranks as a dead league.

this is the one update that would rebalance the game . 

Yep, I'm sure it will have some affect on the top leagues on the other servers too, as many of them have a fairly high number of inactives.

Of course one consideration for Plarium is that many of the big spenders want to leave a legacy by buying a bunch of defense for their league before they quit the game to help hold their beacons/fortress, and this update could prevent that.  

Careful what you wish for or plarium will take this as an excuse to add fortresses to beacon massacre

We will all end up with level one beacons and level 8 forts

Game Over

but all they need to do to avoid dismissal is to demote biggest inactives to neophyte and keep enough active alt accounts to stay above 60%
We all know that HN has dozens of alts

But anyway we digress, Can't be bothered to reiterate the whole thing..................

The game is in a complete mess due to the imbalance of offence over defence. Why people (mainly Plarium in this case) suggest going out of there way to further handicap defence is to miss the major problems facing the game.

To be honest I don't think it helped when I pointed out that the only thing keeping most people playing here is their communities, friends and league mates. It certainly isn't the game which is hopelessly unbalanced, holds little in the way of interesting game play and is never updated or has new content (outside of the next coining update for the shop). Might now sound nice but it's simply the truth

If they want to test whether people's loyalty is to to Plarium and to the brand or to their friends and leagues mates, then go ahead and crush people's communities and see how many bother to stay.

Well, a community is loyal to teh community. If your league marshall one day said, we closing up shop in Stormfall, and we going to start play X. You would see majoirty of the core members in that league actually do that. Some might keep playing on but their invested time and money would be less. Thats why Im a strong supporter of a guild, league whatever, get structured into a "gaming community", you go where the fun is, because people and friendship you make last much longer than games you play. 

A part from giving out flags and try spam the crap out of the player gatherings foum, Plarium got no real idea what a community is about. Being part of a community is to TAKE PART, not stand on the outside looking in. Touch base with your players, figure out what good, what wrong, and work a long the community to fix things for the better, don't be afraid of eat humble pie and backtrack when you done something terrible. (Plarium got a lot of humble pies in stock imho).

What really ticks me off recently was the "oh we got feedback from the players and doing so and so"..... with no refereance to actual feedback. No soruces for the players to read, take part, discuss any such feedback...

WHEN and IF are not the same. Can you confirm that there are plans to add this to Dark Plains. All the talk of here and there just muddies the water

Alina Phoenix said:

There are no such plans for the near future.

Maybe you need to talk to Sergey?

or maybe your reluctance to add it here proves that the entire idea was an epic failure?

Hello.

I don't see that Sergey told that these features will be added to plarium.com servers soon. 

Yes, they more likely will be added in the future, but not in the near future.

Also, Facebook and plarium.com are different platforms and different features can be added to them.

so are there plans or no?   if they will more than likely be added.... why are you even saying there are no plans.   you are being contradictory now. 

can you escalate this discussion to the devs and get back to us with a firm answer.

short of that, at this point, you need not reply on this matter until you have a firm answer from the devs. 

Hello.

There are such concepts as long-term plans and short-term plans. 

If we talk about short-term plans, no devs don't plan to add this feature.

If we talk about long-term plans, yes, devs are considering this feature to be added to plarium.com as well.

Given most long players are dropping out of the game from bordem is it worth starting to share the product roadmap with us?

Even beta games from tiny developers have schedules of planned content releases and updates as to how these are coming.

Plarium communication - zero. In so many ways you need to start valuing your customers and treating us well (or at least at a level your average competitor does).

Its a bit like casinos and slot machines. when the player run out of quarters, you not wanted or of any interest anylonger. So keep quiet, pull that lever and put another quarter on the slot machine. 

Up through the years I taken part in many beta's and early access testing of games, and interacted with devs with feedback, bug reports and so on., sometimes my feedback actually lead to changes to the game. WIth Plarium we got a huge 

Then a lot of helicopter noises. 

I been playing this game for a few years now. And if I compare what happend to Stormfall in terms of development, during that period and compare with other mmos and sucn I play. Just take like ESO, and even SWTOR as example, both free to play. Like nothing of any value happens in Stormfall in terms of development and enhancement of the game. Its all about more stuff to throw cash on. One pay wall after the other. Not even the games I mentioned above that required WAY MORE money to develop than Stormfall did does this, and both got cash shops too. 

One of the most complained about things when I started play Stormfall was the ingame chat. Well its still terrible and fubar over 2 years later. and thats just one thing. 

Plarium make EA's drive for loot box's seems consumer friendly in comparsion.

I know you can't have the inmates run the asylum. But you don't treat your customers like the red headed stepchild either. Because they will run away, and then you will be all lonesome in your asylum. 

At current time we got a wave of.....

And who they leaving behind is no secret....

Hello.

We have a good tradition of sharing our plans for the new features and changes in the game at the end of the year.

Taking into account that the New Year is coming, we're working on the video with the plans for 2018 :)

Also, we're thinking about adding beta-testing for players in our games as well. So, chances are high that it will happen in the future :)
