    Why not solve the unique gem problem by creating normal gems with melee/range buff? Unique gems would be stronger for sure but normal players could still use them.
    The reasons given for not running the royal capital event are so bad its laughable.

    Royal Capital

    • We are aware that there are mixed opinions on the Royal Capital event. There are several issues relating to this event which has brought us to the decision not to run it for the time being. That includes the unfair advantages of those able to monopolize the event by obtaining two capitals, and those that suffer the most who are unable to even have just one. This leads to further faults with the event, whereby alliances are unable to place defense tools on the walls.
      Not only that, we see a great deal of feedback upon the completion of the event. The rankings disappear, so players aren't given a clear perspective of whether or not their attacks arrived on time. We understand this is extremely frustrating for competitive players.

    • Its not an unfair advantage for the strongest alliance to win. Very few alliances should even try to win.
    • An alliance too weak to have an alliance city suffers how? The event is for strong alliances in the first place!
    • So what if the ranking disappear? Small problem. I'm sure competitive players are far more frustrated with the event being postponed!
    Personally, I didn't even know there were any issues. That said, an alliance being able to have 2 capitals and/or not being able to place tools on walls sound like some technical issues that they would need to look at. Neither of which sound that serious to me. Not really sure what the benefit of having 2 capitals would be, maybe the bonuses stack and you get more coins than you should? Without knowing, I can't comment on how important that is, but from what they said none of it sounds that serious. Not sure who's defending RCs, lol. Doesn't affect you unless it's in the last 5 minutes so who cares? Defense is so weak you get through with basically any acceptable comm. The frustration of not being able to set up properly in the last few minutes was annoying, sure, but nothing compared to simply not having the event at all. Also, I think most leaders would argue the most frustrating part of the RC event is that we don't know which skills reset and which don't. That's really frustrating because these upgrades cost millions of resources, some even hundreds of millions. 

    To be honest, most of us only want the event for farming resources anyways. Removing it is probably unnecessary.

    Chasing the goalpost since 2014. I discovered GGE through a Dogecoin faucet rotator. Don't know what that is? No big deal, those are gone in 2018 2020. A long break was good. Highly recommended. I got too drunk and forgot why I hated GGE and took a break in the first place. So, here I am again.

    Afraid of really strong casts? Make stronger comm. The 90/90 limit is sort of old. Gems should allow us to move past that limit.
    NPC targets are meant to be easy. Period.
    Create normal gems that increase melee and range if you want to lower the distance between normal players and top tier players.
    Why do you want to adapt legendary equipment?!



    NPC targets are meant to be easy, I agree, but if you think it's easy for us to smash Nomads now with 12 - 30 losses per hit on average, imagine how easy it would be with 5 - 15 on average? The problem with the proposed change is that it made all attacks at least 50% easier, likely more. All of them, but only for people with unique equipment. Hence, why legendary would need to be changed too. So players that cannot obtain unique equipment weren't left even further behind. 

    The proposed changes would have still screwed hybrid casts. You wouldn't have been able to go over a different limit and that limit would be hit by properly developing your commander with all pieces. This resulted in everyone having stronger casts and commanders than the hybrids that are currently pretty rare. The hybrids were still screwed, the limit was just raised above where hybrids were taking casts/comms. Resulting in a 150/150 Invader comm or Kala cast and fire casting only available if you bought a fire station, among other issues. 

    I agree with gems allowing us to move past that limit, but they should be available to players that don't spend a ton of money on the game too. I agree, they could solve that by making gems that are available to all players with fair effort.

  • you know i was having a loock at how much it woud cost me to get new equipment  if i get them whit ruby ,it turn out it was  some like 600k ruby for one descent  equipment  this is like 750 canadien dollar for me  .  now tell me wo  is to even think ov  spining that kind off money for a game ,  i meen i woud by some but definitly not at  that price  , and the hotter ones that are  moor afordable well they are not the one that we want   also  the price ov any good  stuff in this game is way to hi i think  you guys scoud conseder  way better offer ,  after all not evryone is milionaire lol . but i will still help testing your idee and hope that some will get done some day   
  • Overall , this seems like a step in the right  direction

    Performance and bugs have most certainly come down, thanks to the concentrated effort by you guys, so kudos for that.
    Kingdom Res booster sounds like a terrific idea.


    But, if you dont bring the alliance tournament, i hope there will be something thought out that will give feathers and pennies the way the alliance tournament used to.

  • Another observation about these proposed changes and some things GGE has already done is they seem to be trying to make it so some new player can create an account, get to level 70 in a week, and immediately compete with long time players and ruby buyers. This is flat out wrong, you are just alienating the core group of players that continue to play and invest in your game.


    With all the bishin that seems to go on about fair play, bullying, etc I had a lil idea (not taken time to think through all the issues so don't shred me) Basically it would be to split each server into 2 sides, beginner and expert. Players start the game and build to say lv 70-50 then automatically transfer to expert side. Plenty of time to prepare, also the process can be really slowed down if they don't seek out too much xp after lv70. There can also be the option after lv 50 for those brave souls that want to get right over to the expert side and get rolling. This also gets rid of the low level multi problem hampering high level players by people being pests.

    Regarding the gem rework, there are indeed combinations of comms and casts with the gems from the eagle demon and the elementalist that are too powerful.

    What I suggested in the closed beta was to just tone down the particular gems that are the issue. Like the eagle's eye from the eagle demon cast. It has 17% extra strength to melee and 20% more troops on the wall. Imagine 4 of those on an ice cast. But I suggested to e.g. make it 5% extra strength to melee and 15% more troops on the wall, and then just increase stats on other equipment or increase the set-bonus to compensate. You could do the same with the aura gems from the elementalist, just tone it down. Problem solved, now hybrid comms/casts are no longer too powerful.

    Another thing I suggested was to make speciel gems available to buy for everyone from e.g. the nomads/samurai. Just slightly worse than ruby versions. That would bridge the gap between rubywhales and average players. Cause not everyone can afford the speciel gems from the eagle demon or the elementalist. But if you could earn a slightly worse gem from the nomads and buy it with khan tablets, that would make everyone have the ability to make hybrid comms/casts. I think that would make the game more fun and add more variety.


    You just talk what you do not know, and you do not know what you talk about...


    It is because of "clever" ideas like that one of yours, that the item "Base food production", was taken out from the game for good, and general base food production in all castles was reduced/decreased couple of days later...



    Here the who to blame was that guy @philt123 with his belly full of rubies that came here to cry like a baby that item  "base food production" was available for everyone and he spend millions on rubies acquiring it..  cough, cough...


    But indeed.. all of this was a false pretest, cause i just spend months to obtain "bricks" and "fine sand" to do something really useful...  and i am very active player... other useless things are already in thousands number...


    So this thing about closed Beta is to screw regular player non ruby... And i am talking about a really non ruby like me... Not like those who claim that are non ruby and in the hidden buy packs of ruby deals..


    Instead of creating new content and other, they just was to change what it is already done.. F##k what is done.. it is past it is history.. just put your brains working on something new, creative and worthy...   And if so worried about the gap ruby/non ruby "GGS" just create new achievable things that can be reached by everyone... and do not waste time changing what is already done... Probably under this "gap issue" theme they just want to slightly change something they created in game, but they are not really thinking on it, and it is kinda of a tricK.. Things like this about "NPCs would become too easy to defeat" lets a lot to desire.

     

    Finally to be honest as non ruby this thing about ruby/non ruby never worried me.. cause i know as non ruby how further i can go, and i can be worried if i can go even further by just doing this or doing that... but never worried if others can go further with rubies... it is their life.. But real problem here is sometimes ruby players always get worried if a non ruby is achieving things and is getting close to him... "getting for free but with hard work what they paid for..."



    Closed Beta never gonna work cause wrong choice of people in there that only represent interest of there precious rubies..


    Enough SaiD!...





    You just talk what you do not know, and you do not know what you talk about...



    Closed beta participants have not had any of their suggestions tested or implemented. GGS has made up these ideas on their own and asked us to test them. Closed beta has already worked because we tested an idea that would have been significantly worse and based on our feedback they didn't implement it. Your claim that we don't care about non-ruby buyers is plain silly. One of the problems we had with the gem rework is that non-ruby players would not be able to fire-cast anymore. You would require a fire station. Another was that players that buy rubies regularly would benefit significantly because we tend to have a lot of unique equipment, but those that are still on legendary would get screwed. Did you even read the original post? 

    The players testing on the closed beta come from a variety of different payment levels and gameplay levels. My interest is in fair and fun gameplay. The change that I was against would have benefitted me significantly more than it would have you, but of course, I am acting in self-interest, right? 

    If I was then I would have loved their original idea. I didn't because it's already too easy for me to run over players like you. I don't need it to be easier. I'm genuinely bored. Basically maxed out on multiple servers. What else is there for me to do? 
    As i said:

    Enough SaiD!...



    With a sample of players like you and @philt123 and other ruby whales we can see that closed beta is in "good hands.."

    Fair play..
    From you!

    Just back off!
    You began to hunt me in forum because i just had different ideas from you, then you just come to UK server... and first thing you tried to do was turn your whole alliance against me because i am "to slow" cleaning fires... well, to hell with it, it is not my first priority..
    So do not talk to me about fair play.. even in forum you are a conflict person..
    You should not be even in closed server...

    Against ruby whales like you i use to give Zero loot, Zero Glory.. oh.. sorry and all tools wasted.. bad luck it were some crossbow and maceman running out of hospital..  
    It is my choice to do or not PvP..
     And if i do not hit you and i am hiding under flames to not have a hit-back.. it is nothing of your business what i do in game..

    So what you are afraid is more and more people run out of PvP...
    And you have no targets cause ruby whales just do not use to bite each other...
    And right you use to fear one another also..
    Why you ruby whales just do not hit your heads against one another..
    Ah.. Big alliances and wall full of pacts and non agressions...

    You are not for fair play..

    Even you do not know how to play the game: in two years of non ruby in one place i conquered much more things in game that you in all servers that you are with ruby powered accounts.. including permanent achievements..
    That is why not funny anymore for ruby whale cause they just bought everything.. if things are conquered step by step like i do much more fun..

    So it is you who:

    You just talk what you do not know, and you do not know what you talk about...


    The item "base food production" and drastic food decrease in all castles on August 2016 on GGS birthday it was because claim of ruby whale @philt123 here in forum..

    So to hell with ruby whales ideas and suggestions, feed-back here, in closed beta... everywhere!.. cause they just will lead to the same: their own pockets..

    It is regular players that know about the game cause they just learned it on the hardest way!
    Not who buy stuff!...

    **** and as i stated before have nothing against them as long they do not mess with me cause i just do not mess with them... and i can live with them cause i know where my place is... but just not give them the power to give ideas cause everything will fall apart***** right and this is all this talk is just for some................... ...... cause not all persons the same cause  and still there is a lot of decent ruby players out there******

    You should leave gems/cast/com as they are!
    Do not mess them up... you will ruin this game.
    That is my most concern.

    To kick that up a notch, I was having some serious lag, so I refreshed the game to come back to 2 hits and 10k troops dead - no horn. To the say the least I was pissed off. If this type of problem persists or support takes 5 weeks to reply and then doesn't recompensate me they will have gotten to a whole new level of douchebaggery.
