As ive played 2.5 years ive noticed a lot about this game. No matter what is suggested it will just fall on deaf ears. Plarium has never listened to its players...just mail a ticket and you will see. Things never get answered. If you have noticed with each update plarium loses players...if your keeping track last good update was ability/wisdom points. At that time plarium did not focus solely on money...yes you could speed with saphires but wasnt necesary. At this time it was a fair game between people who pay and those that dont. Fast forward to champions....100% pay needed otherwise you had a 1% bonus...wow. So the payers got stronger and weak got weaker. No big deal. Next up we have another flop...stoneheart....once again rich got richer and weak got weaker. Further seperating the class divide. But we are plarium which needs to make money so lets solely focus on the rich. Now lets look at bg's. Ive loved them from the start and understood how they work even teaching people how they operate. Currently my bank is around -600m and a lvl 40 wont pay....there a joke. You can blabber how nothing has changed with them but i will tell you to go f$#) yourself. Plarium guards there secret algorythm cause even they know it doesnt work. Tax,no tax...i have 600m in it and cant get 30m to pay....its broke.
So lets talk about beacons....how will you have a massacre with all lvl 1 beacons as on my server. The players realize there is no real benefit to hold....other than rank but most leagues could careless about rank cause no one is playing anymore. How can a league get its players to be excited with a beacon when theres no bonus....id have more fun in a hamlet or defending a dead castle.
So look at rewards: how many necros have to die to max a pvp tourny to only get 1k or so back....players are sick of putting in more than they get back. Especially when it takes a week to make under 100 of them.
Plarium has taken money from alot of players but has never listened to any of us once. The game is dead until you listen...massacres is what killed the game by people defending to the end. And plarium was happy to cater to the mercenary leagues to do this. Well congrats because honestly there isnt one idea that will help this game other than a server merge. And enough with b.s. response of ill take this up the chain cause up the chain to the developers means it gets tossed in the trash like all our other ideas.
I won’t give you the “it’s been forwarded to developer” reply as I’m sure you know how to message the developer on your own.
I get how you think it’s all about money and I thought that at first as well. I’ve played about 4 years now and have done a lot of trial and error on things to see how non spenders can still have fun.
Massacres weren’t ever my favorite as I held beacons and kind of would lose troops to gain nothing but my defense stats going up which I wanted to earn straight and not getting my army back free. The wisdom points you’re talking about that you liked though are extremely expensive in sapphs to get as you go down the line. A slender can have it unlocked easier yes, but the one thing I’ve got my members to do is try for the massacre to gain easy wisdom points for their hero abilities. Probably one of the only uses of fun I’ve seen for beacon massacres. If they’re changing to not letting the beacons get downgraded (not sure exactly how this is all going to go honestly) one thing that could maybe get people to participate is if by chance there’s leagues with a lvl 5 and they can take it and it stays lvl 5 leagues who can’t hold beacons can steal them and darken troops. I don’t know if that’s how it goes or will go but could be a positive. I know I’d want to darken troops so my food consumption is lower but I’m not wasting the troops getting one to lvl 4 or 5.
Champions I believed the same thing that it was all for spenders until I tried spending on them and still didn’t get anything worth the money I put in. On a castle I have that I’ve never spend on, I used that one daily and hit the undead and never unlocked more spaces for new champs. The longer I held out and let the bonds stack up I’ve noticed not often by any means but they will once in a blue moon give you holy summoning bonds. Members in my leagues as well have tried this and they’ve gotten them or Epic bonds as well. My alt I didn’t spend on currently has some better champions than my main I spent a lot on trying to get them.
Stoneheart isn’t just for spenders and trust me I’ve tried that to. You can’t buy more than a couple upgrades in a day let alone buy enough sapph packs in a week to even get scrolls, sketches and everything else needed to upgrade all the research. It takes time and easier to do without spending than attempting to. The troops do a lot of good for small members and non spenders as well. Seeing you can use them for offense and defense, they’re all I’ll hit a beacon with. Now I don’t lose offense if I forget to recall and gain double pvp if they’re there because they now act as defense when they started as offense.
Battlegrounds I wish I could help on but I truly can’t. I play with a lot of great members who are very good with them though and I’ve heard some have the same problems you are but together somehow they managed to get the pays out. If you use line and would like to give it a chance, message me your id and I’ll see if someone I know can help you.
