So changes to becons after all?

https://plarium.com/forum/en/stormfall-age-of-war/online-chat-with-plarium-s-cm/96349_online-chat-with-plarium-s-community-manager-has-started--february-1-2/?post=450443


I get a bit anxious when I start hear about greater/bigger bonus's for holding them. Just because there exist some purdy big hammers out there. Strengthening the becons so they require more to take is not the way to go imho. There is quite a big gap between what a few can do and what the norm can do.

yep. bonuses for holding beacons is pointless if plarium cant make defense units equal to offense units.  


for beacons to become relevant again, balance between offense and defense needs to return.

The most important thing for making holding beacons viable is setting a reasonable force limit.  None of the plarium games with 100k force limits for beacon attacks have any problems with people not being able to hold beacons (or their equivalents in those games).

We will think what can be done to increase the activity on Beacons, make them more attractive for the players and give more Bonuses for holding them - 1 February, 2018, 2:11 PM UTC


Increase activity on beacons?


I think we need a lot LESS activity

Every time a beacon is upgraded or downgraded it appears in regional chat, which starts a feeding frenzy
This does not appear in some other games, but that is a bug caused by broken chat settings and filters, but it actually helps
Sometimes, bugs are helpful and should never be fixed

Hello.

Yes, the devs are thinking now about what can be changed in Beacons. There is no information on what these changes will look like yet. 

But your feedback about attack limits will be taken into account as well.

i think the take away is that is taken 2 years for devs to decide on how to fix beacons.    take note...there is less than 2 years before flash dies.  now i think the community managers might understand why we have little faith in that task being accomplished.

True, but now that they stated they are looking into it, you can start hold them accountable.

Well "we are looking into it" is more positive than "working as intended". Gotta take your comfort where you can :)
Yep, at least that means there may be some changes made eventually.

It's not simple enough change, they probably come up with something that sapphires is needed in one way or the other.

What like a basic force limit then some special stones you can apply to increase the limit where stones are only available through sapphires?  That would kind of defeat the purpose lol.
