Is THAT what triggers the ad? PLAYING the game???? Brilliant if it is...........
Just editing this in, so there is no back to back post:
So, I just went and bought a couple hundred more Def Troops and moved the weaker ones up to Ice. As soon as I hit the TRAVEL button and entered my Ice Castle, guess what? YEP! Up pops the ad..........
Sleep well.

Sorry I for one ignore what your responses are, as non believable. HOW do you know what the true player count is if you cannot identify, the shells, multi's and ghosts within the game. Another with his head in clouds, or choosing to ignore what is really going on.
Wake up and smell the garbage that GGE is continuously spreading to make a buck
i've not played the game much so the adds havn't hardly bothered me at all...
....but can see them irritating me when I really want to play and then the "rage quit" will cure me of this forever
thank you GGE, this was the update my wife really wanted!

Complaints already piling up, some alliance members getting ad's every 5min, got 3 gone offline that are normally on for a while. Lots more will do the same if PvP attacks pick up because they can see an extra chance of gaining something, and they won't worry the amount of ruby's they buy.. Wait till players need to change the defences when you have a 5-15 click attack IC. or attacks of 4 - 6 IC of 11 waves. What about sending support when seconds can make a difference, on getting there.
NO I think GGE have shot themselves in the foot, or head with this one. Its an update that will always benefit the ruby buyers, which shows that GGE just don't care about anyone else.
I found clicking on the add opens a window that I shut right away and ad is gone, no more waiting 30 secs
Just not sure if it bites later on..lol
Seriously, I just forced the ad to appear by going into the Map of the Kingdoms, selecting Ice, and pressing the Travel button. There may be a timer as well, as I tried it again a minute later and it did not trigger. But, I have been able to do this three times now, if I wait a bit.
I must admit that I doubt it is the best idea to advertise for other games on this. They just might get some takers......

Yep nothing in the normal spot bt I can set it off just by going into my ew castle
My alliance mate couldn't confirm Def setup and lost wall bad

Lucky @Wasso (INT3) I don't get a skip button. Maybe the give you one because they like you...
You can't, once more, just explaining why I think ggs chose the words they did in their announcement about ads.
Never said ads are a good or bad thing, didn't say I like or dislike them.
However, I did talk to the studio about how they intervene with regular gameplay and lead to issues from time to time.
Not my job, if you don't like something, don't play it.
My job instead is to make this game more enjoyable for everyone with the means I have. Now I agree these are very limited, but as a team we have accomplished a lot lately. I have personally brought light to multiple exploits, that also effected the uk1 server.
We also managed to get someone to take a look at the outer realms issue at 9pm yesterday and it helped quite a bit.
But sure, be as disrespectful as you want, doubt my integrity, say you won't listen to my advice.
But just know, when you lose me you lose your only way of communicating your complaints...
You're turning people away from the game.
I got that skip button just now for the first time only. I guess it depends on the ad.
Seeing this ad though, it does look like GGS are preparing for a shutdown of Empire, seeing how they are trying to send players to other games. /s
Yeah, it looks regional and ad specific. I got one without the SKIP button.
Clearly one of the triggers is entering your Castle. Another is logging into the game. But, I stay logged in for hours and hours without entering a Castle. Hit a round of Nomads, go back to work. 20 mins later hit another round of Nomads and go back to work. Hours of that and no Ad. Go to Ice castle: Ad. Stay in Ice for a while, then change to enter Green Castle and AD.
The REAL issue with this, is where do you HAVE to go to enter the Defense setup screen? Must enter the Castle. So, if the 'timer' for the Ad has expired and you get a short horn, you will likely get an Ad upon entering the Castle. If it is one without the SKIP button, you just may be in for a marshmallow roast.
2 POSSIBLE ways to address this: (1) Make the ads play behind the clickable areas. This may be harder than it sounds. (2) Make the defense setup screen accessible from the Castle Ring. That was how you set the defense for the Alliance Capital Event. May the Event Rest in Peace.
Players would still have to remember to NOT PRESS the Travel button when transferring troops from OP to ICE to Main, or they may get the Ad upon entering the Castle.
It boggles the mind that this MAJOR ISSUE with the Ads didn't come up in their testing. I KNOW it was tested, because someone posted a screen shot of the same type of Ad structure not that long ago. I even told them it must be on their partner server doing the Ad. I WAS WRONG. They were clearly the Test location for the Ads. Nothing like doing testing in Live Production Environments. But, to think that NO ONE mentioned to "the Studio" GGS that the Ads blocked CRITICAL gameplay is real tough to believe. Day one, I had it block my adjustments to those incomings. Was fortunate to have the SKIP on that ad and was able to get out in 5 seconds.
But, even 5 seconds can be the difference between crushing and being crushed..................

In the bottom right corner there is a button you press to turn of ADS
cost gold tokens 1 million just done it .
keep smiling it's only a game
I agree it is just a game. But, when the game becomes more frustrating than real life, it is time to move on. Sometimes that is what it takes, to keep smiling.............

we have also met the worst of players on here. we have also been taking for granted of GOODGAMEGREED
for years now and that will never change. why does it take a mod to answer questions on forum.
why can't someone who works for the company not come on and explain it .
gave up sending anything to gge now wasting my time.
