Updates = more leaving

Sumanwarrior2

As another of my close friends leaves I am wondering what this game is about anymore. One update causes coins plundered to be drastically reduced. Another update causes glory to also be drastically reduced. Now it seems you need to launch multiple attacks a day to even have a hope of levelling up glory rank, or to at least stay at the same glory rank. This requires us to use many more coins and rubies to recouperate troop losses, transfer them between realms, use of siege tools and amounts of armies needed each day. How are we supposed to keep up with this if we get so few coins now?
I think GGE wants us to buy more and more rubies, sorry I do not think I know this, so that we end up having to purchase coins with rubies instead of looting them as well as purchasing all our tools for attack etc. etc. etc. That is if glory rank is at all important to any of us. Otherwise we have to become honour farmers instead and go for the easy targets which will give us honour as this is the only rank we can hope to level up in - forget glory rank they have made it almost impossible to level up this now. I do not see the enjoyment anymore in this game I am not into hitting those who are weak just to get honour easily etc. and each day I see more and more leaving this game.
Why is it so hard to compromise with your community GGS? This seems like a dictatorship with a difference - we can leave the community if we choose! So please GGS, before any more long-time players leave, meet us halfway with a solution to these problems you have brought about lately.

P.S might I add that I just do not want to spend 24 hours a day on this game either recruiting troops in order to keep up attacks in order to actually get anywhere with glory rank. I have a life and am thinking of being in it more and more now rather than on this game.

I agree with you, sumanwarrior2. GGE have drastically reduced the glory that you can get, and I am struggling to keep hold of my title ( even though im only a landgrave ). I don't know why GGE is doing this, but it IS causing a lot of players to leave the game. Please, GGE!!!

I completely agree with Daniel makes no sense reduing everything

As it seems hnour is based on your opponents honour and glory is based on troop numbers in the battle. In order to keep your glory level, the only option is to send an attack you won't win so your honour drops. Then re-build and send an attack you have a chance of winning along with the gained honour and glory percentages you'll now have. So you'll need loads of coins - so more rubies on the tax collector and the merchant...

Wait... are you sure or not sure? Brilliant minds await your conclusion.

(Plz back up with real life maths.)

I didn't think this new update would be affecting lower leveled players like me but I've started to notice the glory received from battle is lower and i am struggling to hold onto count. I am starting to lose coins now too.

The latest is the Ruby sale - prices are all up. With all of the other revisions the game is all about more money for the owners. This IS BS!!!!!!

Many of my friends here are ready to quit. They will not get another dime from me! I am done with this

Humpers2

Lost a player today too. A good player who was decked out with ruby gear... in no-one's interest that this fiasco continues.

Abu Al Reem2

I totally agree with Suman. Updates are being put in to make you spend more rubies. Initially I did not mind, but this is becoming ridiculous. There is no will from GGS to understand or discuss... what they did is the right thing and we simple minded players are not capable of understanding the complexity of balancing the game.

Activity in my alliance is at all time low... good solid players quitting... frustration is building.... is this what is going to balance and enhance the game?

Captain Bilbo

I completely agree with this, how can we hope to keep our glory up when we lose so much and getting it is so expensive? And also staying a good player is becoming more and more dependent on rubies. Its unfair to people who cant buy rubies. I believe GGS should come up with a second option for non-ruby players before they all leave. Please GGS, help us!

and now we cant make threads about boycotting
inch by inch our freedom in this game is being taken away

I am actually pleased that some people have left, I have recently got a full Ruby outpost and have another in my sights. The reason she left was because of the recent update about coins being reduced, but now I have a outpost equip with level 4 bakery, level 3 stables, level 2 drill ground and ruby moat. I don't need to do any work on it, apart from fires that the capture caused.

It's even more unfair to those of us who do buy rubies. We may well have wasted hundreds if not thousands of pounds/dollars/euros on a game that just takes more and more.

i dont think the glory points issue should be revised, but kingsguard crossbow/veteran crossbow attack power should. if you are not terrible or not part of a capital alliance, attacking is screwed and defending against kg crossbows also. the 121 kg cross / 98 veteran cross attack power should be changed to 115/105 in order to close the massive useless gap, but still keeping a goal for players who wish to recruit them and for capital holders to still have an advantage.

glory score and the title itself make no ingame difference anyway a baron with the same troops have exactly the same combat power as if he was a terrible.

Maybe GGS gets pressured to release better updates,but becuase they're so pressured,the updates end up being horrible,which builds up even more pressure O.o

GoldenNinjaGod

I totally agree. The updates are getting worse and worse, and many people are leaving. I think GGS is under a lot of pressure.

Lenzabi (US1)

The Rubicon is crossed, the slippery slope has been started on by GGS. By making paying players leave, they lose revenue permanently, one question, was it truly worth it GGS?

don't open your gate then. there's no need to have it open in most cases

I wish you luck of it. As your level increases and you find yourself struggling to maintain your position, you'll see exactly why it was that the previous owner said 'enough is enough'.

you may wind up saying screw the honor thing
