level playing field

Dragon Slayer35 (US1)

you send out the surveys you ask for feedback you talk about ¨ NEW"events
yet you continue to make the game more one-sided than before. I know you can see and read the discontent ruining through the game. , the number of players is decreasing at an alarming rate, new players come on and leave quickly, but it seems like your goal is line the sheep up, take all you you can before the end.
You have many players that enjoy playing the game, but you do nothing to encourage them to stay and more players to join. 
Why not try and give the player the opportunity to be successful instead of loading the game against them. Perhaps they would play more, spend more and bring more players on, remember like you did when this game was the best game on the net.Can hurt anything for sure, WHY NOT

what exactly would you like to see "leveled"?

Dragon Slayer35 (US1)

here is my dilemma.
in the kingdom events for points and rewards, 
In the KOHN event you have the opportunity to compete on a level opportunity against other players in your  division
move on to next event Bloodcrows  and include Invaders event and opportunity generally less than 1k even with upgrades, while other obviously have 3k 5k  even 7k and up and have 5millon 3millon points on day 1  How is this considered a level playing field or equal opportunity with the smaller attack opportunities. there is no way to compete, so w/o having same opportunity at larger attacks or opportunity to compete , why bother with event at all

You could plan ahead and stockpile tools with boosts for each event.

Everyone experiences bad bloodcrows and foreign lords. I tend to have massive droughts in between one good castle and the next.

From what I can gather, the players reaching 50m glory plus are either
1. Really, really lucky
2. Using glory tools on every single hit, regardless of size
3. Using the 'dehrone' option to reroll their castles hundreds of times, until they get decent ones
4. Hitting so much that they get a lot of castles done per event, and increasing the chances of getting a high level target just by 'brute-forcing' their way to one.

By really, really lucky you mean that they spend much more.
Some ruby whales get 6 million glory in 30 minutes, and us non-ruby players are lucky if we get 1 decent target after 50-80 attacks, the game is too unbalanced

But let's say they have enormous luck, how come always the same players get the luck??

Its not always luck. People actually hit them a lot. The same people who always have 'luck' also hit probably dozens of times more than the other players who always complain after hitting about 30 targets in the whole event.

i hit 60 targets per fc at least and the highest target i have gotten for the last 5 fcs is a measly 2.5k target. Seems like one round of clearing brings me 2 1k targets and the rest are 500-600 and occasionally a 700 or 800 is thrown in. I think i can rant about it lol.

When ruby whales can fortify and get up to 2k extra defenders, I think most of us are justified in complaining.  I dethrone with Khan medallions a lot.  Can't use them with every FC/BC.  I generally get slightly better than what you describe but I'm on a different server.  I cycle through castles a lot of times per day.

So how much targets do the ruby whales hit before they get their first 3 targets? I got a 7k target after 220+ hits (i went up 40 ranks in the festival of the lotus king). I only had 1x5k before I got the 7k

It depends. Sometimes I can go 5 castles before getting a 7/8k castle, other times I can go 2/3 events of hitting 200+ castles before I get one.

I agree have hit 297 castle from last event to the one thats just finished the biggest the castle was 3000, i giving up wandering if and when i will get one but it do not matter anymore i am never going to win it , because when someone has 134 million what chance do i have , i do not care about ruby spenders it there money there entitle to do what ever they wish .and it is money that makes the world go round , i just like free stuff if possible with a limited spend.
so all in all game is what it is

Since I am in an alliance with people who have won glory events, I'll tell you how they do it. They keep dethroning and hitting, till they get good targets. They buy a look item for extra waves and use it. This gives them 3-5M glory per attack on an 8/9k castle. The key is to keep dethroning whenever you get the chance.

greg triplett (US1)

  This is how I see it...
   GGE will just throw out a good target(1k+) every 10th blue moon! They want peoples to dethrone constantly! That way , one way or another people spend monies to get the decent targets! By either buying rubies or spending their rubies to get the coinage to dethrone with!!! Good Game Enterprises is pushing people out of the game!! I can understand wanting to make a profit but this is absolutely absurd!!

bucketofsquid (US1)

It's Goodgame Studios not Goodgame Enterprises.  It is wholly owned by some company I think out of Sweden.  I think there is nothing wrong with spending on a game.  Because of health issue I have to play free so I like that other people support the company.

Sometimes I dethrone but a lot of times it is faster just to hit the bad castles with just enough to win.  No flags just cycle the castle.
