I JUST hlbc'd, and I look forward to T5s anyways. After you build complete there is pretty much nothing to do but collect allies anyways. My biggest concern is the cost of T5 equates to an exponential number of clicks due to plunder caps. Hopefully plunder cap will be raised too. The last land cost roughly 75,000 clicks (300b/40m). Assuming new purchases are in gold and follow the same scaled economy t5 l1 would be 30b. By my guestimation.
Its all the newer players that want new EBs and new Equipment.Older players want war.As for me; I want war.
support for t5. time to move on from t4. be good if there was different varietys of spy buildings as already mentioned, attack balanced and defence.
@pattus: are you ******* kidding me? Nothing to do after HLBC? Why do you play this game? You are just one of many players that play this game to build a beautiful kingdom. Devs should make an update so you can put flowers next to your buildings.. This is a ******* war game! After HLBC you find a target and war your ass off. Get involved in OSW, participate in the weekend wars (dont like them but atleast it's a war update). After the last update so many old players left this game.. Old legendary clans start to fall because there simply is no war in this game to keep them together. And now everyone is kissing some dev ass for T5 buildings? Let's kill more ghosts and trees and dragons. Whoohoo -.- Some great words from the devs: "War is comming." Aaaaand it's gone.. Achievement bonus comming in may.. Yeah good one devs. You didnt say what year. Probably 2058 or whatever. This game really turns more and more in to **** after every update. For all who want a fancy town: go play farmville. I want a real war game.. Never thought i would say this but i miss the sleepless nights during the UWF vs. ZiG war.. Always one eye open to catch a strip. Those were the glory days of this game. I guess i have to find a new game now..
Hey LP! I haven't forgotten you and I have about 30 minutes free (after I eat dinner and get a shower) before I head out for the evening. So I'm going to attempt to respond to your incredibly long post right now. First- a quick aside to wil- new players are growing at a substantially faster rate than in the past. The player base has been growing exponentially over time. It's isn't going to be a bunch of noob stat players. There are, I promise, more 1,2,3 mil etc combined stat players than ever. And they are active! Which is even better. Instead of searching the ally list for pages and pages before coming across an active, it should be easier now which is an improvement. I actually just had a conversation with met and Lina about the sheer bulk of allies in the ranges above 100 bil. I respect your opinion wil. Don't ever think I don't. I just think that the you are discounting growth rate growth of player base over the last year in your equation of how inactive resets effect the market. Okay. *cringe* now for LP. Lol. You chatterbox I'll go through each of your points (or try) 1.) devs have systematically removed gold from the system- Well, many of the epic battles still pay great. Players are pulling in 15 bil a day from those alone. Ally trading can produce even more. I don't think devs are removing gold from kaw in any way. If they were, there wouldn't be a way to make a steady income via eb and, to a lesser extent, ally trading. Of course, volley transfers were bad because it exceeded the daily gold limit that people could make. This made a very small portion of the community super rich with no way for the others to catch up. 2.) volley transfers- a violation or abuse- No. It is not a violation of anything to volley transfer. Perhaps abuse was the wrong word. How about manipulation of the system which is not illegal but creates an unfair advantage for players who can afford to transfer large amounts and inflates the economy of kaw. Think of volley transfers like pw's. Pw's weren't against the rules. But they manipulated the system from the way it was supposed to be played (competitive wars) into giant cash cows where you could quickly bc players instead of making them work for it. It's kind of the same thing. Pw's were done away with for the same reason volley transfers were. Volleys are easy. Volley transferring and drop volleying is not. 3.) achievement bonuses- yeah. *cough* they will come. I don't think it is something that is super important right now with all of the other updates. I don't think it's something to get really mad about. They'll come when they come and there isn't anything we can do to make them come faster. Enjoy the new features being released for now 4.) The current updates are to quell the angry mob from the other ones- Well, the angry mob had pretty much quieted down. So, bringing in more changes wouldn't have affected something that has been pretty much a dead topic for a bit now. I truly believe these updates are meant to stabilize the economy, gold flow, and stat to bonuses ratio. As well as to be competitive with other rpg games that have more bells and whistles than kaw. 5.) inactive allies- I have discussed this in extreme detail in other posts. To sum up, inactive allies have always been reset since the beginning of kaw. You have the potential to make more profit from ally trading than loss from resets. So, the gain outweighs the loss as long as you take the time to pick good allies. The ones who lost substantially chose bad allies. For whatever resin they did this, they were aware of the risk of reset as it has always been like this. I won't go into kaw economy and risk vs reward and bla bla because I don't think anyone wants to hear my rants again. 6.) "flawed" tourney- during the test war, there were flaws which were fixed. Currently, I'm sort of on the fence about a certain tactic being used. I don't particularly care for it. The rewards you gain from the war tourney are substantial. Those rewards should incentivize players to continue in the war tourney. As I previously stated, aqua and inferno will be retroactively awarded during regular season and lots of fancy stuff is being rewarded during the finals. 7.) I know you understand mechs. I just don't think you clearly explained what you were talking about in your previous post so I answered it to the best of my ability with the information you gave me. How can you steal someone with zero gold out? Well, when a player has zero gold and are stolen, they receive a message something to the affect of "a player successfully infiltrated your kingdom to steal" or some such. That's not what it says and I don't have an account with no gold out to check on. But, basically, the spies/thieves successfully snuck into your kingdom and successfully picked your pocket. They are rewarded for their valiant actions by the system or- heck- if we are being literal- they go over to the king who lives in the castle and says "yo- I successfully raided LP but all she had was this silly wooden nickel". The king responds by saying "For your bravery and success, I award you this shiny gold coin". If it were literal, a spy could come in and take every penny you have in one steal. But it's not. I think that is it. Much love LP.
I find it funny how people are crying like children about this. And not supporting this. It don't matter if you support T5 or cry like a 5 year old little girl. It's gonna be released and it's gonna be soon obviously. Now if you really hate the new T5 and think the game sucks. Then quit and get the **** out.
What a1 said plus to all the little whiney babies complaining kaw isnt a war game. Did ata remove the attack button? still ******* present on my kaw.
