Hey everyone,
You can discuss everything in the outer realms rank and reward announcement in this thread! Feedback on the quality of rewards and appropriateness to each rank tier would be great, including thoughts of any rewards you feel should be there but aren't!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it!
Cheers,
Your Empire community team!

yep its optional. So i will give it a pass.
why on earth do i want to spend a fortune ruby building a new castle so i can do what ? PVP?
Surely thats what i have been building my castles to do for the last 6 years? whats the point in spending a fortune on a new relm when its gonna get deleted? The economics are not making a lot of sense to me. Unless of course the speed of building the res / ruby costs are massivly accelerated and massivly cheaper, i will just pass.
the rewards are not doing much for me either, I have zero interest in anythign connected to the forge thing as thats a joke in itself.
LOL 300 wheel tickets well that single spin on pro mode is gonna swing it for me, maybe i will get a piece of purple equipment, then i can pay GGE £20 a month so they can delete it for me.
Nah no thanks. Sure some of the high level PO pieces are quite nice but i will be very interested to see just how much its actually goign to cost to get those rewards.
Time will tell, I will be watching with interest from a distance. Care to take odds what percentage of the top 1000 players are in a country with significantly cheaper rubies.
Funny that !

Why ?
Lets assume for a min u ruby build your new relm castle. then you of course are going to want to defend your new shiny built castle. So you go and start building your defenders, if its the same production speed as a normal castle or normal defenders its around the rate of 1 troop per min. which is going to take you 3.5 days of solid recruiting to get 5000 defenders. so you come out of pro and get those troops wiped in the first 30 mins after getting whacked by someones 3000 ruby bought horror army.
Then what do you do watch as all your ruby built castle gets smashed up as there is nothing you can do to defend, as the ruby bought armies are torching everything in sight ?
You can only hope there is a plan to balance the fact in the game you can get many thousands of attack troops at the click of a ruby button, but gaining defense in any meaningful numbers is a much much longer process.
If they dont address this balance properly its going to be a farming event, ie just ploughing your att troops into one empty castle after another. over and over again. Which isnt really going to be fun for long.
Get the balance right and give non ruby players a real chance to compete at a decent level and at a high level if they use stratergy and skill, you might have a winner. If its just a ruby fest. after its initial flurry of interest, its going to flop and flop hard.
So we will see lets hope its not just a ruby fest and there is something in this event for everyone.
I see that the new look item has a iron/military theme to it. Why not make a new decoration with the same theme?
Goddess of natures is all we've been getting lately and it's starting to get repetitive
No, i don't play on GB1.
Will be keeping out of this event mainly cos everything gets deleted and aint going to
spend time building everything just to be demolished.
I'm not big fun of conspiracy theories, but the whole outer realm sounds like a test server renamed as "outer realm" that gge wants to make money out of it and create a distraction from their monthly charge plans.
The concept is fine the execution is potentially horrendous. It needs a rethink and a lot of work before being released given the deep flaws in structure and design. Nobody who played the game would deliberately be looking to find a way to make an already pedestrian experience designed for the the benefit of one or two people even less competitive and exciting than it already is. The new equipment system is a hinderance and detrimental to established players, there is no narrative or strategic value to adding a number next to a set given the actual difference in power isn't immediately apparent or in a gameplay sense that relevant. Basically the game has devolved into just PO items or equipment that's it essentially, and is driven in events by who buys most troops from the cheapest offer with the best use of a bonus. There is no skill involved no strategy and even technically gifted players can't compete because of event structure and continuity and consequently don't bother. Rough guess whichever timezone the event opens in first gains a huge advantage, alliance and multi-server, multi-accounters and password sharers gain a huge benefit and there is no clear indication of how that can or will be policed it's as usual ignored. Though clearly we can looked forward to players openly explaining to the forum how they broke the rules with no fear of action being taken.
We have clearly been able through the forum to get a picture of what other servers are like and they can see what our server is like I'm not entirely convinced we will be that encouraged to seek out contact with more advanced and more powerful players who operate outside the rules and who spend more than most of us will earn in our lifetime. This is just going to highlight for a lot of people how uncompetitive we are and how impossible due to bad design it is now to compete.
The only saving grace would be if there are no troop offers otherwise it's will be about as exciting as an average F1 race.
That means everything else, glory rank, Berri rank VIP Level, Equipment, etc etc. Are all for nothing, and in this relm mean nothing.
So lets start with towers, you start the event with base level towers, and as we all know they give out crap food, crap res, and drop crap equipment. Most towers take many months of hitting to get to a good level where the loot gained starts to be reasonable. So realistically you are going to be playing the whole event hitting low level towers for minimal return.
Then lets move on to equipment, 99% of all equipment certainly decent equipment is gained from events, its been a very very long time since equipment was gained from hitting towers, in fact equipment dropped from towers has become so meaningless that you have written a program to automatically delete it for us for £20 a month of course.
So how exactly are players supposed to build an account? how are they supposed to build comms and casts ? I am guessing the only realistic way is going to be to ruby buy comms and casts.
How exactly are players supposed to build their accounts ? hitting level 1 towers for next to nothing returns ? oh yes ruby buy res. and have to purchase skips, as all the skips they have bought previosuly dont work in this new relm. how are they supposed to get construction items, to give them more troops on their walls with no events? oh yes ruby buy them.
what about gaining VIP bonus back ? oh yes ruby buy it.
What about getting decos as everyone gets em from events? oh yes ruby buy em.
What about building troops as with no PO items, no construction build items, no VIP bonus no berri bonus, your production levels in your castles will be crap, so production will be painfully slow. Oh yes ruby buy troops.
How are you going to feed your troops as your food production in your castles will be tiny, and the food you get from towers will be tiny, Oh yes ruby buy the food.
compress this down into say a month long event. And the gulf between ruby and non ruby will be a JOKE. your Non ruby players will have been lucky to have put together a 30-30 comm and a 30-30 cast. they will have no other bonus and will have access to a tiny amount of troops.
Please prove me wrong, but on the face of it there seems no way on earth that a non ruby player has any chance whatsoever of playing this event. The gulf will be HUGE.
GGE has prove or gave no detalis at all, just little informations... but how the event is going to work.. nada'
why is it so hard to start and run the event in test server, make a 1/2h long yt video, and post it on yt..
You have the programs to live stream on twitch.
you all have to note that we moderators also play this game , and this game is dear to us, so please do not get us wrong , help us to make this game better and more interesting to play for everyone.
thank you for understanding.
