| I dislike new FFA system - if you stay in the corner and cast with your hero you get the best exp and skill points now. Sometimes even if I lost I get higher exp and skill points then the winner, it's over now ;d |
What I like in these changes? That for once we are warned one week before they apply. At least we can prepare ourselves.
The AP change will certainly cause much groaning and yelling, but it's a GOOD change. The game economy was stuck because of all no-arts battle.
For Faction points and the like, I've the impression that now it's more interesting to do PvP than PvM games, but it's just my gut feeling after a quick read of the announce.
I enjoy the power boost of Jewel enchanters too, they really needed it. |
| Well at least i get more out of caravan ambushes i use to get 200-300 but now i get 750-1000 |

| hey for some reason im getting easy hunts in yellow lake |
| i say the new update is bad, it caused egorovy to leave, and it makes the game more profitable for admins and maybe cause an increase of multis |
it makes the game more profitable for admins and maybe cause an increase of multis
Two conflicting statements.
First, I'm 100% sure that if admins had a magic button to end cheating with multiple characters, they'd certainly press it without a second thought.
Second, it's not making the game "more profitable for admins", unless you mean it's more profitable because more people will join the game now it's better. Sure, you'll have to carry a sword to fight. So what? You can buy some for cheap and they last 30 or 40 battles at least, more if you count repairs (for a fraction of their cost.) But this change force people into spending *some* gold in factories, where stocks were building without anyone to buy them, hence to place to enroll, and so on.
I'm all for the AP rule. |

as long as the game becomes harder, more and more people will leave. It is for sure, we will see big headcount drop in this server. It may interest some players for a while, but it won't last long. |
| but it means the price of working should go up but it wont and it will be hard for people without diamond upgrade especially in hunts like at lvl 6 where it is alredy hard |

some of us went through this couple of months ago. the consequences were close to your description... |
| eveything is great, finally, thanks. |
"The crowd was so desperate to hear news about happenings in the Empire..."
Those admins got it so right :)) |
I might be wrong but here is my personnal feeling.
These changes emphasize once more that
this game is only for pvp lovers.
this game is only for hardcores player
who enjoy increasingly difficult challenges.
Why ? because these updates are
-removing further any "easy stuff" (like tier 1 2 3 battles)
this game isn't for players who like to chill out,
and have fun with not-too-hard battles.
why removeing "easy" battles? they arent so easy
some monsters are even underrated because
they seem to be rated according to their stats
are their special abilities taken into account?
(i.e.: pack attack, mana drain, infected strike, or
when a player is unlucky high initiative and speed enemies
can tear down heroes troops with frequent extra attacks,
from moral bonus)
-rigid limitations imposing stiff ratios in characters build
this game isnt for players who like tweaking their character
with skilling up first their factions skills.
-nerfing of whatever isnt pvp
this game isn't for those who prefer quests, cooperative play versus AI.
this game isn't for players that prefer freedom of gaming style;
those changes are stressing it even more : focus is pvp hardcore !
its too bad as it could potentially downplay
the attractiveness of this game toward
other large parts of the gamers community
from which I happen to belong...
So what I was doing here was I lost?
Well no but I can explain...
Although I'm NOT a fan of might, conquests and even less of "War" or "Money",
what caught my attention is : that game recalled me some other games...
I enjoyed cooperative hot seat games with HoMM1 2 3 4.
and some Might and Magic (with the Arcomage card game).
Here too I will focus rather on the fun to find tactics,
the magic of the fairy fantasy universe nicely depicted,
characters buildup tweaks (like give all the gold earned after a skirmish
to the peasants to help them train. Actually it trained the heroes)
and the relative freedom of strategies and gaming style offered.
Rather curious to discover HoWM* because it looked like HoMM
(*Heroes of War and Money former name of Lords of War and Money)
and not very eager to play a pvp only game,
I tried to enjoy playing this game.
I understand that the latests changes are directly
answering to the concern of some players
(i.e.: Robai cf game suggestions "losing intentionally" etc).
I understand that its difficult almost impossible to please every user
with sometimes apparently opposite points of view for some topics.
I appreciate all the efforts done,
congratulations for developping maintaining and supporting this game,
and also its very nice that this game is available for free.
One advice would be not focusing so much on pvp,
rather dealing with problems with original new features
and possibilities than constraints
and preserving more freedom left to players
to choose their gaming style and difficulty level
so that they enjoy fully this game the way they prefer to
(like still haveing choices between tough challenges
or more relaxing activities).
Thank you for reading this feedback !
Just in case...
Nice to have known you all and have fun !
(If I still can*, I'll check later a couple of times
next week to see how things are going here,
After that I'll maybe check once per month or so.
*I hope that freedom of speech is respected)
See you later maybe : ) |
| Terrible news... Bad news, wery bad news... |
new boys in the town :

The point 6 of the update, that means in the East Bay the hunts are more easy?
I don't understand...
Thanks |
for Kinzuls:
Changes concern hunt in all locations.
The East Bay reference was input to create some style in the news ^^ |
only xp, not fsp?
Actually, both. It looks like that part has dropped out of the news, but victories against caravans grant 1 fsp. |
| i really didnt they were really gonna make any updates ever,thx admin,cant believe they had this many either |
