I am as of now flying the Red flag to protest this update. I suggest we all start boycotting rubies as that's the only way Good Game will listen to us.

Manu Castle (GB1) · 20.11.2014

GGe get your heads out of the sand and stop hiding everyone is telling you this update is a big mistake and is not wanted so hold your hands up you have messed up again and get off your backsides and sort it out now!!!.

Defoe-Curtis (GB1) · 20.11.2014

GGE the update sucks in many ways, remove it or change to what your customers want! and the hotfix did not help!! free gift did not even touch the surface to finish my lv5 towers and the cost of res from other land total sucks!

popoo6 (INT2) · 20.11.2014

my flag turned RED i m protesting this Update and i wont be buying rubies before GGE fixes it

cur (skn1) · 20.11.2014

been trying to contact Support for 2 days now.... how the heck can they add this update with their entire support system down, so we cant contact them anymore??? ;(

mgniles (US1) · 20.11.2014

Boy does the update suck!! Hope there is a fix or rollback coming soon. What a way to get people to want to quit. Know one of our members requires charcoal to put our fires for an OP she has, but isn't even high enough level to get to EW. How stupid is that?

txy (GB1) · 20.11.2014

Red Flag today.
Black flag on Sunday if no improvement
This game is now unplayable even for Level 70s. The micromanagement of the resources is too time consuming and frankly boring. Grossly unfair for those not yet at Level 70.

mark lynch · 20.11.2014

i think im sick of saying 'worst update ever'.

i totally understand GGS trying to make the game have a longer shelf life, but in doing so you are now forcing players to go to other kingdoms before they are ready, it should be down to the individual whether or not they want to go to the other kingdoms and at what level.

im level 70, have been for a very long time but i still have buildings to upgrade in fire and a half finished op in green. it will probably be weeks before im in a position to upgrade anything due to the amount of charcoal, oil and glass i now need.

i just want to ask one question (if i havent already got it right thinking this is a shelf life thing), why?

why have you just made it almost impossible for any player to upgrade anything? be they level 20 or level 70, ruby whale or non-ruby player.

i no longer see any incentive for any player that isnt fully upgraded in all kingdoms

i didnt even know that, WOW, needing charcoal to fix fires???????????????

so basically anyone under level 25 will burn from the time they are hit until they get to ice????

if it wasnt so tragic for those players it would be hilarious

kechera2727 (US1) · 20.11.2014

It is very simple I am not buying rubies until this is fixed...

flatout (GB1) · 20.11.2014

due to the recent update we will be protesting as an alliance along with many others till it is revoked

-CHANGE YOUR FLAGS TO RED(solid red-including your emblem)
- NO MORE ATTACKS on active players

-NO MORE RUBY BUYING

this commences immediatley

pepper866 (US1) · 20.11.2014

At least they fixed the biggest problem I had with repairing the buildings with glass. But I still need glass, which I don't have because I am not in fire yet. My suggestion is to only require the glass, oil, and charcoal on the new buildings and the buildings IN THOSE KINGDOMS. Like if you want to upgrade a building in green, it will cost Iron and W/S. If you want to upgrade something in ice, it costs charcoal and W/S. So only make it cost the resources you can produce in those kingdoms. And have 0, yes ZERO, shipping costs between kingdoms. Because it costs the same amount for the kingdom resources as the W/S and we only can produce it in one castle. So if you produce 210 charcoal per hour, that would be 70 per hour if you transport all of it. That means it takes you forever to build/upgrade ANYTHING! Please change what I have suggested or you will ruin your own game.

just the fact that was in the original update shows how grossly inadequate the whole 'new idea', 'new update' fiasco is.

and in no way would a focus group help GGS keep telling us, really?

mcmastrman · 20.11.2014

If gge decides that the additional resources needed for building buildings and upgrading them, then it should be empire specific. Coal needed to build in winter, oil needed to build in sands ect.... Needing these resources in other kingdoms to build isn't reasonable. You can only produce so much per hour and to have the need of that resource in each kingdom is crazy. It would be different if each plant produced 1000 per hour at level 1, but that's not the case.
The additional resources should be needed in all kingdoms for level 70 legendary structures only. That would make it fair for everyone. the only people that win with this update are the level 70 players that have already upgraded everything. Not fair for anyone lower than that level of success. The update should create new challanges for level 70's only, they are the players that need the challenge, because once your at that level, the only entertainment you get from the game is war and battles.

I myself will boycott rubies until the update is corrected. The hot fix is a start, but there are more adjustments that need to be made. Leaving the game will be my last option, but it is an option that is in the table.

Reister (GB1) · 20.11.2014

I can't remember an update that hasn't been designed to make get us to buy more rubies. There has not been any new content thats actually free. Its just been a different attempt to get us to fork over more cash.

Sick and tired of it now, the gap between the ruby whales and ordinary players is utterly ridiculous, to the point that if someone spent enough rubies they could take on an average mid-tier Alliance of non-ruby players all by themselves. This game is the definition of 'pay to win'.

mark lynch · 20.11.2014

also, anyone got any idea why i now need iron ore?

DuckLegionnaire · 20.11.2014

I think that this is an interesting update, I rather like the idea of having all of the kingdoms closely knit together ;however, I would like it if you only had to use these other resources e.g. Charcoal, Oil, Glass for NEW buildings, I am only level 40 and yet I need charcoal for level 9 dwellings, Which made me a little mad, also I would like it if it didn't require resources to repair buildings (with the possible exception of the new buildings), it makes it harder for those of us that don't buy rubies.

wigman420 (US1) · 20.11.2014

The hotfix is a start. It is still incredibly unfair to require the use of charcoal, olive oil and glass in other kingdoms. It costs way too much to forward, and it takes even longer to produce. If it is to be used in other kingdoms, then reduce the shipping cost to a 25% loss, or 0% loss compared to a 70% loss which is the current shipping cost.

The way it stands, this update is still benefiting the higher level players and alliances, and really hinders the growth of new players. If left like this, I foresee a large decrease in people playing this game.

Nambala (AU1) · 20.11.2014

Every thread I've posted this on has almost immediately disappeared. Wonder if this one will too?

I am lvl 63 and not yet in Fires. I read another's post who is in fires, with reasonable (tho not maxed) glass production. That player said it would take about a month of building nothing and never being raided to make enough glass to upgrade one lvl5 tower (after the 70% transfer tax). So with 4 castles in GE and 1 in each of EW and sands, that makes 120 towers. Ten years minimum, just to do towers (not including fires, and of course not including the castle gardens I still need to be vaguely competitive with current lvl 70s, or the keep upgrades or walls). Or else, I guess I could buy the 1.5 million or more glass it takes - and the oil of course. Thousands of dollars, or probably 15 years, to get to where I expected to be in a few months.

Does GG really expect anyone to do this? Ten years plus just to do one level of upgrades? Where's the common sense here?
