You know, with Plarium that would be 50k sapphires..... not resources...

Hello! 

Thank you for the time you spent to make this suggestion and think about the general idea of this feature!

We received many suggestions from players regarding changes that will make this feature more interesting and useful. I gathered all such suggestions and forwarded them to devs some time ago and Beacons are one of the main features they're focused on at the moment. 

They have many ideas what improvements can be made thanks to the players' feedback and their own ideas.  

So, now we need to wait and see what they will come up with, but I'm sure it will be some interesting changes

You told us that it will be made a change in beacons for 7 months...

Ok, so , what if......

After your Level 5 Beacon gets spied on, your League members could invoke a spell - Dragon Fire ( think of the potential Graphics here - a level 5 Beacon bursts into a flaming vortex  ), that would ignite a Fire Like Shield around your Beacon. In order to ignite the Shield, League membrs would have to ship in Iron, Gold or Saphirres, and, the spell would consume the resources rapidly,  at a rate of 50k per 5 minutes , or something like that.

The Shield has a time Limit, say 60  or 90 minutes maximum. During that time League Members are shipping in Resources to keep the Shield up. The Shield would provide a 200 - 300% increase in DEFF. And make it Spy Proof. So now the attackers have to gamble as to what was there in the initial spy run  , what could be there now....etc...etc....

That would provide Leagues with a Window of Opportunity. They make an action plan : Ship in extra DEFF, pull out all existing DEFF, either way: Once the alert goes out and the Dragon Fire Shield goes up - everyone has time make a choice. This would keep newer players from simply getting all their hard built DEFF wiped out in an instant. It would also create some high intensity Team moments. 

And, check this out: Another Plus would be : Ignite the Dragon Fire Shield and you now have an Opportunity for an Organized -  Prepared Team to actually get a Beacon Leveled - Up to Level 5. The Dragon Fire Shield would Provide  60 - 90 Minutes for everyone to work together, move DEFF and actualy have a chance at survival. Medium to Larger Leagues could easily muster enough DEFF ( with Prep-planning of course) so that by the time the Dragon Fire Shield Burns out, and the Spy attacks re-start - the attackers would now have to re-asses what  what Level of Losses they are willing to incur to downgrade and take out the Beacon.

This is a work in progress of course, there are obviously tweeks to be figured out. But this type of idea would re-ignite the Beacon part of the game. And, offer some amazing Team Activities. The pre-planning, the Igniting, the Moving of DEFF all simultainiously.

Ahha Ahha...you just know there is something  here ......Food For thought..

The last time I got a battle report of a spy attempt on a beacon was so long ago, I'm not sure if it happened or I just imagined it.   I do remember small attacks (usually PFs) being used as recons, but not spies.  Even those were long ago, though, in a time before the Age of Hammers :( 

Alas, that we have lived to see such times.   Balur sends out his Hammerwraiths to search for the One Hammer.  Should he find it, all will be lost forever!
