Thank you Crom

Fordy (AU1) · 08.04.2019

Yes thanks for reading and updating us..Much appreciated

UD1 (INT1) · 08.04.2019

So the outer realms have not change , only adding battle of the nations , is this correct

Philt123 (GB1) · 08.04.2019

Wow, honestly Just wow.

So its identical to the last time around that was roughly 95% hated. But to try and make it smell a little sweeter you add to it the most pointless of all competitions in the history of GGE, you added the invisible competition, the competition no one knows about no one cares about, the one that no one has any sort of visibility as to what is going on or has any power to significantly influence. the event that no one has a clue whats going on but dont have to actually do anything other than play the event as they normally would and wait and see if they get given a prize at the end, most people wont actually have a clue how or why they got a prize but if its free they will take it. And if you win it will pretty much depend on you being on an active server, rather than anything you actually did to deserve it.

Genius, you tried to make arguably the most hated of all events better by adding the most pointless event in GGE over the top of it. I really think it should be compulsary that ALL employees at GGE spend at least 2 hrs a day playing the game, becasue its quite clear the decision makers have not a clue about the game and have clearly never played it.

But you are right we need info on new scoring system asap.

Information will be released later today on the scoring mechanism.

There was no information at all about the scoring system only for the pointless server v server thing.. Surely it has to change from the last edition or have all these posts been in vein??

"hold onto hope that there is hope"

I hope that the rules has changed in terms of high levels having carte blanche over the lower levels and it was just not announced. Otherwise, it might be more honest to say that this game is no longer a "free to play game" but a "free to be fodder" for the paying players.

bernhardt (US1) · 09.04.2019

I predict that the top 4 servers will be: de1, Ru1, ro1, and po1 or hu1.

If your server is not in one of the european time zones, your server is at a severe disadvantage, on top of the regular single player disadvantage due to the event start time, and the time of the first point collection. As an example, for me in my time zone the event will start at 3am(always has in the past) and the first point collection will be at 3pm. The first day is 12 hrs long, during a time period that not many in my time zone really have a chance to play much, as opposed to those in the CET time zone that get the prime evening and night time hours to play. Puts us in other time zones at a severe disadvantage because we're always a day behind in the points due to "day 1". All the days should be 24 hrs long.

@Crom Cruach I have mentioned this multiple times before, and it has never even been acknowledged, let alone fixed.

The OR announcement did not address our(the players) concerns about the OR scoring system as it was in the last go around. Instead you push out an event that all the non euro servers have universally disliked near as I can tell in all of the previous iterations. Not an example of listening to the customers, and is only the latest instance in a long list of ignoring a strong signal from the player's feedback.

UD1 (INT1) · 09.04.2019

I also has mention points collection time , if you are lucky to be online at that time, and able to defend at that moment of time you clearly have an advantage, i always accumilated good points , but had to sleep before points are awarded only to find i was beaten before points awarded,

Crom Cruach · 09.04.2019

This Outer Realms will be the same as the previous one. I know that you were unhappy with that and the feedback was taken and given to the Game Team. We are working on improving Outer Realms for everyone. However you have to be aware that the development cycle here works months in advance of a release. So feedback submitted today might not be acted upon for six months. That sounds like a long time but honestly its pretty quick. It is my hope that we will seem some incremental changes in the future for Outer Realms.

@bernhardt (US1) That's a really good point, I'm not sure how easily fixed it would be but I'll suggest it for next time.

@Crom Cruach lol not on CM list to tag but found

having read the announcement I am dissapointed as the in-game announcement tool does not work for me - i get it while scroling etc. - can you just make a thread here to post the scores and update them ?

Having just spent an hour or so in outers have remembered another point - the cost of rubies needs to be the same for everyone - not dependant on which server you come from - uk1 us1 and de1 have the most expensive rubies - how are we going to be able to compete without a level playing field !

No you found me, you meddling kids! :-)

I will talk about it here in the office and see what the plan is.

Your hope is not well founded, we have already had a Level 70 legendary 8 (Ruby Whale obviously) hit one of our just started level 11 player. Didnt take long hey but keep living in hope mine has washed away...lol

Dream King (US1) · 09.04.2019

As well as 1 million coins in our bank

We also need a level 100 willow of experience

Lol not just outer relms need to be this way it needs to be on all servers, PS ruby prices are not set dependant on which server you are playing, they are set from which country you are in, or which country your VPN says you are in.

This is the whole problem of the game the guy you are competing against is probably buying rubies significantly cheaper than you regardless if its in a relms event OR a normal FI / Crow event.

grampydragon (US1) · 09.04.2019

nothings changed same old stuff high lvs hit low lvs ill just try to get to lv for construction tokens after thats is not even interesting

hionmentho (US1) · 09.04.2019

This event is literally trash. I'm level 13 and I've got level 70s hitting me already. The sheer incompetence and stupidity of GGE devs is actually mind boggling. You can't even be mad at them, only feel bad for them because they're that bad.

LadyThundara (US1) · 10.04.2019

I have not seen what the Heritage Thing is yet, because all I do when I go in is to repeatedly hit RBs to gain food and resources and slowwwwwwly build up some buildings and recruit some soldiers and then come back and I have been hit again and all my soldiers wiped out. There are many things I can't do until I reach level 12, I can push out 2 walls at level 11, then can't push anymore out until level 14. I can level the barracks up to 2, then have to wait until level 14-18 (somewhere in there) to be able to recruit some soldiers that can actually do something. I think this will be the last time that I play the Outer Realms.

GGE makes this that you have to buy .. at least the initial pack for $5.. if u dont do that, ur dead in the water.. now.. if u buy that $5.. ur good for two/three days.. then ur dead in the water if u dont add more $.

hate outers... but have to play cuz its the only place to get the upgrade/const tokens.

UltraFlavoured (GB1) · 11.04.2019

I personally don't think Outer Realms is a good addition
So updating it is pointless to me anyway.

Its an event you have to spend in to progress unless you fully commit by switching from main server.
But on main server you have :
Month Event
Kingdom League
The normal Events - FIs 1 & 2 , Nomads , Sams - Beri Green
Beri Outer realm.
Shape Shifters
And no doubt Pelt MK1,2,3,4 will be coming

No Balance what so ever.
