The stupidity of this tourney is that those who don't have what it takes to hold a beacon but have what it takes to take down a beacon flourished. It doesn't matter, they can attack randomly all they lost is 10% of the offense. While the one who holds beacon? They lost 10% of the def, they lost all their effort to upgrade the beacons, they need to retake it again if they want to hold it possibly after they tourney ends. All these will result in beacons being abandoned, obsolete. And this is what plarium wanted apparently so people will flock to fortress..

The worst tourney that ever invented.

Thank you for the feedback. It will be passed to our developers.

We got no idea who the devs are. It could be a trained monkey or a hamster in a cage for all we know -)

- Does each Plarium game got their own dev team?

If not, how many dev cycles is allocated to each game?

How many coders, gfx artists and so on work at Plarium? How many of these work on like Stormfall?

I'm spiled, With EVE I can attend fanfest, go to dev round tables, talk to devs, ask questions, heck you can even go pubing with the devs and get smashed with them.....

With Plarium they are stoved away in some dark cave, not seeing sunlight :p

here is a start to your answer. 

"Being a Game Designer is what a lot of gamers would consider to be a dream job; and I would have to agree. Yes, we do get paid to play games but we also manage to get a bit of work done too! Apart from having a lot of fun playing games we are actually working. The idea is this: the more a game designer knows about games, the better the Game Designer!"

But they don't play their own games, at least not in the same enviroment the actual players do, so they clueless about their own games. Cute.
