Tier 5 Released!

Discussion in 'Past Announcements' started by admin, Aug 9, 2012.

  1. This will aloe smaller players to catch up with the vets.
     
  2. They said in a week for achievement bonuses so I bet this means it'll never happen.
    Also there is gonna be so many rage quits over the t4 thing.
     
  3. Love it!
     
  4. Kaw admin, please tell us the prices for T5 level 2.
     
  5. That's it punk the people who have spent hundreds of REAL DOLLARS playing your game trying to grow I won't waste another REAL PENNY on this game. I have paid and bought 3 clans so you make REAL MONEY B.S.
     
  6. When are the discounts for T4 and T2 spy?
     
  7. Has anyone thought of the effect T5 should have on item drops? With HLBC5 ( Idk what to call HLC T5C lol) players smashing ebs with higher stats and more damage the drops should be a lot better...
     
  8. How come I can't see the twirling 5 building
     
  9. Can you tell us when is the exact date of the slashing of the price of t4 so we can sell it before the updates implemented??thank you
     
  10. Prices for t4 lower on thursday
     
  11. Just so all are crystal clear on this!

    Devs: t4 price cut in 7 days... And they said refund price will be cut as well!!

    This means ALL t4 buildings you have on ur HL as of next Thursday will be worth roughly 2.5 billion less when you go to sell them if not more!!!

    So a player can expect to lose anywhere from 2.5 billion - 62.5 billion (hlbc atk build) in the instant the devs flip the switch!!

    I know they wanna take money out of the game and they won't refund us our hard earned time, (games change it sucks get over it...) but plz tell your friends so they know b4 time runs out!

    Note: (2.5 billion is a lot to me if not to you then lucky you!)

    Thanks!

    Knowledge is power!
     
  12. Where is the confirmation as to whn builds will be dropped and receive lower the refund?
     
  13. Thats complete bull. I spent a trill and two years to convert to sos hansel now ur gunna drop it by half justcuz theres another tier? I didnt thinkyou could **** this up any worse but once again stupity wins out. Unless everyone that ever bought them buildings at full price gets their plunder refunded this is hands down the dumbest thing youve done to date. And to think i gave this game good ratings and was gunna try to bea mod...disgusting
     
  14. man think a little bit
    you need around 4000-5000b to buy all T5 LV3
    60b is that much?
     
  15. what i want to say is if you want DEV to change something
    make them change the price of T5 will help you far more than let them chage
    the selling price of T4
     
  16. Does the T4 50% Reduction include SoS?
    If so, is it only the first price to put it down, or are upgrades 50% off as well?
    Thanks.
     
  17. You wanna close the player gap? Fine! But give us something at least. Maybe some super equipment. Anything!!!
     
  18. Gotta uphold my newly founded tradition of posting my "lofty" opinion on kaw admin threads, even though im a bit late on this one.

    Given the information available right now, I'm surprisingly pleased with how the devs are rolling this out and am on the devs side for a change on some of the negative outcry from the community (yes pretty sure hell is frozen right now lol)

    Not sure if the opinions/observations I go into below were what the devs planned, but either way, to me it looks like this one helps more than hurts the community as a whole so far for the following reasons:

    1. Staggered release of building levels/HL only availability: First it gives us a baseline for future costs so we can prepare as best we can plus minimizes the huge gaps in stats Btwn T5 BC players and T4 BC players.

    We were screaming for T5 to be released and for prices, but how could devs release in full without completely skewing the summer tourney? At least we have a baseline price now, and stat differences aren't SO significant that a few converting 25 t4s over night doesn't give one team in playoffs a huge advantage over the other.

    The staggered release, in my opinion is a pretty decent compromise from the devs to try to keep some of the integrity of the tourney in place while giving us what we wanted in release of T5....basically they gave us what we were screaming about to the best of their ability given other circumstances.

    Also, it's nice for nonbc players who were in the middle of HL completing who would have spent 25b on a lvl 3 t4 building on highlands to have the ability to save that cost and go straight to lvl 1 t5 instead versus us hlbc players who have to tear down ALL our t4 HL buildings.

    Yes, I can see how some can say this is "not fair" to the older guys, BUT in my opinion, as a clan leader, this is awesome for my close to BC members who were very concerned about falling behind with T5 release.

    I'll sacrafice a little bit of "justice" as an already t4 bc player if it means overall my clan, the group of people who fight with and for me, have a better chance of growing stronger and faster collectively...what is the point of even being in a clan if you don't want to consider the benefits updates can have to the ones that fight with u...just saying....

    One last point on this, massive build changes that come about due to new building releases seem to stop people from trading as much as they put their gold into buildings...which kills the ally market, which then makes over anxious people drop allies, which is insanely costly if u haven't held for 15 days.

    The staggered release of T5 may help to minimize the jolting effect these kinds of updates have on the ally market (much to my dismay I loved shopping during new releases lol)

    2. T4 reduced prices: Given we can't move buildings, minimizing the impact of lowland build changes through the price reduction on t4s, is a pretty sweet gesture from the devs in my opinion.

    The HL availability for t5 could have been VERY costly for players who have specific stat lvls they want to maintain, if for example all of their spy towers are on lowlands but they want/need to build some of the new sly towers. In order to try to rebalance attk stats a bit if they did add the new towers to their HLs, they would need to tear down the old spy towers on lowlands and replace with t4 attk buildings on lowlands (so consider the cost of tearing down two buildings PLUS building a T5 AND T4).

    Granted for selfish reasons, I would have preferred it to be temporary to allow old t4 bc guys to adjust without too much financial penalty while giving non t4 bc players the same temporary advantage instead of creating a new perceived inequity in what old t4 builds had to pay versus new....but in my opinion this is still better than nothing, has same positive net gain for my clans growth and for me when i finally convert, and I can understand why it's necessary...so I'm still happy with it.

    For those wondering why I think it's necessary, if the price of a t4 lvl 3 is almost the same price and stats as a lvl 1 T5 what is the incentive for new players to even bother building a t4 once they open highlands? Building a t5 seems a much more efficient way then building a 25b t4 then tearing it down and building a t5 later.

    I'd personally rather there be an incentive for the new guys to build and tear down a cheaper t4, then skip t4 all together. The alternative to combat this would probably be devs increase lvl 1 T5 price...I kinda think 25b for a level 1 building is expensive enough....and would rather them discount current t4s to keep costs down as much as possible for my new t5 buildings...that's just me though lol

    In addition many of us who have already t4 HLBC'd, had the option to do resets, made a killing off trading while the market inflated etc.
    We have had many advantages now not available to anyone who wasn't around prior to the release of the volley/reset killing update....so this actually does provide some balance for new players compared to old.

    Now for all who are upset with the reduction in t4 price i ask you to consider the following:

    We complained for so long t4s were too expensive, why would we WANT to force that on the up and coming guys? Are we really that upset the devs listened to us? What did we think would happen if the devs listened to us? Refunds...Really?

    I'm sorry to all those who feel they "lost" rl money over this, but this is a lesson most experienced kaw players learn. The longer you play the less "value" your rl dollars spent have in the game. It happened to countless vets when t4 was released, new lands were released and I have no doubt will continue as new updates are released.

    We paid a premium to temporarily get ahead, yes it sucks for us now that the premium we paid for our new shiny toys has now depreciated to almost nothing, but I know I at least loved rockin my advantage while I had it.

    Anyway, for this t4 reduced price thing, I'm gonna take my small wins where I can get them. Devs actually made an adjustment the community has felt strongly opposed to. Thank you darling devs, better late then never.

    3. Nob Rate: hasn't been bumped up significantly yet and has remained inline with the t4 lvl 3...which in my opinion is great considering stats and price are not drastically different Btwn a lvl 3 T4 and lvl 1 T5. This is one of my biggest concerns on how they will handle in the future lvls though, especially with new t4 prices, but so far so good.

    Those are just a few of my current thoughts, so far pretty pleased with decisions devs have made with this roll out and hope they continue with this kind of consideration.
