[09:53] NAME REMOVED: JEZ hello :) I have decided to stop playing stormfall. Please don`t mind i just don`t feel like i can do much or even some.Game for me has become very dificult to play becouse if you don`t spend money you can`t play you can just be here watching others play.Thank you for everything , i have enjoed my time here.I wish you and everybody good luck in both game and real life. 

Please stop the insanity and make this game what it should be for EVERYONE

I could said so much about my thoughts about this, but I'm afraid it would put me in the box again for a long while. This is a Plarium issue, its not a player issue. Plarium got a strict its their way or the highway, and sit still in the boat and make no waves. What you see is players that vote with their wallets, and that is what players do.

When I first started play this game, I started to try reach out and connect to a lot of players I came across. Like I do with most mmo's I play. Because, end of the day, mmo's is about social gaming. Hardly anyone of those back then is still playing today. Its just the nature of a game such as this I'm afraid.

Hi all!

Thank you for your feedbacks, I know some of players are leaving but some are still playing and some are enjoying it. It's just a game and is a personal decision for everyone if he\she playing it or not. 

Also, we can't argue with Plarium, is a game is a business and they are leading it, there are many departaments inside like any other company which analyze the indicators the feedbacks from us and all kinds of factors....

So, in the end all we can do it's just to give them real feedbacks, suggestions about the game and this is it....

ps.: one way to gain more Stoneheart units is playing Stoneheart BG Tournament which just been launched....enjoy it...

Best regards and thank you again!

I don't know what country you are from, but its not just a game, its also a product and players is also paying consumers. Maybe we can't directly argue with Plarium, but we can show our discontent. As with products else, you can find a lot of negative reviews on both products and companies online. Plarium seldom listen to or react to our critics and feedback. No one know their games better than the ones actually playing them, and these are games where social interaction is one of the most important factors to have a game that thrive. 

And you are right it sa personal choice whether someone play it or not, and that is why we seen over time how the game bleed players. Any mmo can only bleed players for so long before it reach a critical mass. Imho, with Stormfall we already passed critical mass with no real hope of turn things around they way things carry on. 

I am closer to quieting than ever. haven't [played the game in weeks. And i came back to find everything in humbles. Everyone is gone. League chat is dead silent, even the global chat, chamber 1 which was the most active is dead silent. 

The game is a zombie land with no zombies out. Its a shame. I warned these would happen. DJ moody was right.

The game is dead. and is rather sad. 

Let's not forget about bugs. This is constructive feedback, though I believe Plarium dosen't see it as constructive. We know that bugs that dosen't benefit Plarium is solved within hours. Bugs that dosen't benefit players takes months to fix, if they fix it at all. This game get's more bugs by every update and no fixes are made.

As statements in this thread, but you also have happy players with less (immersion-breaking) bugs. After Champions and Stoneheart, I have to refresh my game 7-8 times a day. Before that, 2-3 times per day.

And you can forget about reporting them. If you do, be prepared to capture your game session by support to prove a bug. So now I have to download a tool to be able to capture my desktop and a tool to edit my video? (if no edit, the raw footage would be massive). I want to play the game for a few hours, not capture a video and edit it to prove a bug. We are not hired by Plarium to take care of their mess. We are not play testers for Plarium, this is a full game released without Alpha/Beta stamp (though it feels like Beta). Where is QA department?

I could continue, but I fear as I said that this wouldn't be taken as constructive feedback.

Hello!

Bugs are not divided into bugs that "benefit Plarium" and bugs that don't.

All bugs are divided on critical and non-critical.

Critical bugs are bugs related to loading issues (when players can't enter the game or severe lags prevent them play properly); bug related with payment systems; bugs that have a critical influence on the gameplay.

Such bugs are solved as soon as possible. Usually within several hours.

Noncritical bugs include almost all bugs related with UI (like a wrong icon displayed and so on) and bugs that don't affect the gameplay a lot.

Such bugs are usually fixed in one of the next game updates.

As for proving bugs, there are bugs that Support team can easily reproduce from their end. It means that the bug is relevant for all players and they forward it to devs at once.

Sometimes, a player reports bug, but neither Support team nor our QA team can reproduce it. Then you're right, Support team will ask you for different additional information.

i think the fact that there is a moderator commenting on this thread that i have never heard of before goes to show that too many players are leaving the game. 

Hi there Ironapex, its not that Plarium cant find a respected Mod, its a matter of most players in the game cannot restrain themselves from being negative on the forums sometimes and turn down the Moderator jobs that get offered to them, 

when Plarium needs a Moderator they ask around, the last Moderator job some on this forum were asked but they turned it down, it was also asked on the facebook forum so I applied, answered the questionaire correct and got the job, now you may ask yourself, why would anyone become a moderator, well I can tell you why I did

1, Enganging in general conversation where it is constructive is good and can be helpfull most times too, I enjoy that

2, I like to help players out who ask for the help with any game queries

3, being a part of the Mod team gives you 1st hand communication with Plarium employees and I try my hardest to get most bugs to reproduce every time before I pass it onto the team so they can get developers to look into it to get the very annoying bugs fixed as fast as possible

I am a very experienced player of Stormfall, been playing since late 2013, now your Plarium servers and the Facebook server have 3 different things with our games but the rest of it all works the same, 1 thing i do hope gets changed for your Plarium servers is they put in force limits

So may I ask you this, why/what do you think the download slope of negative posts and comments stem from? Why do we see the increased number of people leaving the game and less time/clicks being spent in the game?

What you see as being negative, I see as players challenge Plarium, but you could just as well throw your head a ta brick wall, because a good dialogue with them is futile. There is no middle ground, there is no, "what do you want? Where do you want to be tomorrow?"... You would be pressed real hard to find players that played this for a good while that would recommend the game to friends, why is that?

You can still be a moderator and ask the hard questions, but I doubt Plarium would be interested in a moderator doing that. And then we get back to IronApex's point (kinda). If you are not one of us, then you are one of them.... because. as I said above, there is no middle ground. I don't know you, and I got nothing against you, but I don't see you as a champion of the people to put it like that. Blame the sad state of everything if any at all. 

Sir Dan Saul Knight, its nothing to do with being a brown noser as you say but everything to do with helping out players when they ask for help, being able to get bugs looked into promptly provided I can reproduce them sucessfully as well. 

When we all started to play this game yes it was different but everyone who complained about something in the game was to controlled by the coiners like settlements for example, you have no idea how many complaints were put on the forum about settlements how 1 player was allowed to hold them for the whole duration they were in the game for their time with just 1 archer, and if you took that settlement away, their whole alliance would attack you so you all got hamlets because of this, a 1v1 style player format where 1 person cannot hold a hamlet continuously for the duration of its cycle before it refills again. 

I have helped many players over the years to get ahead in this game with all of the changes, I adapt and learn fast, I also take in other players advice and try it out if I have never done that ingame before, its just a way to get things done faster

Take the stoneheart units for example, while most are rushing to try to get their gargoyles unlocked to build and their abilities upgraded I am still doing pergator upgrades, reason why is because the pergator defensive special abilities are the only thing that will counteract the gargoyle special offense abilities so my defense will be ready if the gargoyle players come for me, being a Mod is not a bad thing, I find it challenging but enjoyable

What changed in that regard?, now you got coiners that completely control the beacon game. Hence, there is no active beacon game any longer.  The state of the game is not a player problem its a Plarium problem, how would you challenge Plarium in that regard? We being knocked back one bastion at the time until nothing is left. Any game need a strong core game to build on. See any strong core game left in Stormfall?

there used to be "unwritten" rules to settlements if you got there first you got the settlement no need to defend it if someone took it you took it back and if needed with a show of force - settlements could be league defended and gave a different aspect to the PVP game - i cannot be bothered with relic settlements even though i still need some relics - its just a waste of time as are holding fiefs with archers - farms will always be raided so holding a bunch of fiefs only creates a waste of time to reclaim your fiefs

I agree. Same in our league. So many players are gone, big players, coiners, beginner - all kind of player stopped playing. Some tried to play again but have gone again.

Hi there Sir Dan Saul Knight, this forum is easy compared to the facebook forum, and as far as helping other players go, I see players here even you giving  good gaming advice to others who ask questions in a positive way most of the time so that destroys your theory of no one here ever  posts any help to other players

Why did they choose me? well that I dont know, but it possibly could be based on my behavior on the facebook forum as I do help there too without getting angry

Yes agree with you I don't have an ego, egos in this game will get your troops killed very fast for your 5 minutes of fame, I don't plan to exit this game, I will still be enjoying working out new stratedgys to kill some killers with my offense and to watch other killers die on our mobile defense walls, I have a responsibility to my league to guide them to many victories not losses, only place most of us post the kills is on our league page now

the 3rd part was not really out of context, making complaints on a forum many times in a bad way is being negative, I used the settlements scenario as 1 example from many of real facts

OMG you can't miss the point more.....

Quick summary and recap:

- I say that brown nosing / posting positive Plarium supporting posts is what gets you appointed mod

- You say, no it's about helping people

- I say, you must be wrong because there are plenty of people helping here but they apparently have to go to FB to find you. So it's clearly not about helping people

- You agree with me that people help a lot here

this forum is like Icecream, mostly sweet smooth and easy

That is the whole flipping point.

The players are very well behaved to each other with the tiny exception of one or two of the propaganda / league vs league threads. There are loads of people here with the balance and calm heads to moderate.

So it amazes me/us that Plarium find it IMPOSSIBLE to EVER appoint a long term member of this forum to be a moderator. Hasn't happened for a good two years (apart from one time but best not to talk about that).

I thought about applying few months back. But, Plarium is ONLY looking in the native English community. As I am not English, there wouldn't even be a point for me to apply.
