What game do you want Stormfall to be?

What it is now, but a bit more polished. A hardcore MMO strategy game. 

What type of players do you seriously hope to attract?

The answer to this question is in this thread: http://forum.plarium.com/en/stormfall-age-of-war/game-discussion/topics/10-signs-you-may-be-a-hardcore-stormfall-player/

Thousands of new players come to Stormfall every day, but only a small percentage of them stay, because the game is most certainly not for everyone. Would be great if everyone was our potential customer, but that is not realistically possible. However the game is able to cater to the needs of people who "only like complex things", like Lord DJMoody said. We hope to attract players that like complex and challenging things (and yes, waiting is part of the game).

I like how he just cherry picks your questions.

"Waiting years for your spies to finish is just a part of the fun!" I think it's time I found a new game, especially if the staff seriously don't see an issue with build times.

He is either a lawyer or a politician. Politicians does kiss babies to please the voters, so I think he an ambulance chaser in stead :p

Its quite frustrating to try ask a question that never get answered. Or as you said cherry picked what to reply to and ignore the rest. But hey, Im not going away anytime soon, Ill be annoying and keep ask the same questions over and over. Over time other players will notice why they doesnt reply as well and start wonder right?

They can  just as well say "we do not want to change build times because we afraid what it does to rev units for sapphires and purchase of units for sapphires" Isn't that right Oberon?

Cmon guys, good guy Oberon is getting old and losing his touch, everyone is mortal.

I dont see a direct question? am I missing something as well?

Is waiting weeks and months emergent and good gameplay?

Im not refering to the bullshit answer above that waiting is a part of the game. But if he think personaly waiting weeks and even months is good and emergent gameplay.

Because if he think it is, he should change his name to Old Snail Oberon...

Come on Lord Oberon, be serious, as you already said that you are.

What is complex thing in this game?

Poor algorithm for PVP battle?

Mystic algorithm for BG battle?

Coordinated way for attacks, supported sieges, damage that you can make to any 'smart' player, possibility that sieged player can make damage to you moving his troops out and in his castle?

Please tell us what of this is complex, or strategy?

Sorry, forgot, is waiting complex, maybe?

I have already posted on forums two separate bugs related to Hamlets without any action taken on them. They are pretty simple to fix and are not rocket science. I also sent a letter to you about the new raiding mechanism which is totally unfair but still have not gotten any response on it. These are the things I can think from top of my head. If I would start thinking about other fixes needed then it would become a very long list.

Beside need for faster units building, we really need a serious change in award system.

Currently, best award is avoiding PVP and BG battles, spec. PVP battles. Simple difference in points between winner and looser will not lead to real awards, not if you're not CC player. We need some guaranteed award when we win in battle according to our lost. In reality every winner get more than loose in battle, or he is really stupid it was in the battle.

My Lord, if you think that waiting for months is all that Stormfall is about, you are wrong. As I mentioned, waiting is just part of the gameplay for both coiners and non-paying players. That's a fact.If you aren't fine with this part of the gameplay you are free to not play the game. So far we see no reasons to change the existing building times. If you believe the game lacks "emergent gameplay" what could I possibly say to change your mind? 

To each his own. I find Candy Crush boring, but there is absolutely nothing that King could do about that. Maybe if they added dragons and build queues there I'd like it better. But this isn't going to happen.

I like how he just cherry picks your questions.

I'm just trying to answer actual questions that aren't loaded or rhetorical.

Waiting forever is not good gameplay period. And even you find Candy Crush boring, these two games have so much in common. I wonder if the ratio of paying and non paying is similar too. Less than 3% of the users pay and the rest play for free? If that was the case you should think you wanted players to have a good reason to stick around, not shun them away.

Waiting for months can very well be the results if you face a total loss. As you can't do anything of value for a very long time. Is that very hard to understand? Players need a reason to log in to play. If you have nothing left, there is no reason to login. Game over, you lose players that could be willing to spend some over time. Just not want to go broke on rev units.

As a kid sitting in a sandbox making a sand castle (whatever), if some other kid came around and kicked it over, you got mad, but know what? you could rebuild it almost right away and keep have fun. If I totaly trash a new player out of protection today, how much fun would he have tomorrow? Maybe he would go play Candy Crush in stead :p

I think Plarium is very short sighted tbh.

>Loaded questions

Q- How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb? 

A- None. That's a hardware problem. 

>Rhetorical questions

Q- What if Bill Gates had a dime for every time Windows Vista crashed? 

A- He already does

I think Plarium ran out of lightbulbs anyways :(

Next new feature to Stormfall.. Need to have at least 3 friends to click for you to enable a new raid...  :p

Now now Gadheras, that seems like a monumentally terrible idea. I believe what we should do is provide Plarium with a mature and elegant community in which we direct all topics at Lord Oberon and barrage him with "Mmmm yes, I too agree with this kind sir" 

Why can't we all just take 1 day from hating on each other, just 1 day :( Asking for something with reasons why X is good is different than just straight up attacking them... And sometimes me.

I think Plarium are the cool kids on the block, that said I don't know many cool ukrainians but im sure they exist, I found the russian cool kids. 

Be carefull I think Russian kids is a loaded question for Ukranians.... rl politics and all.... That being said, in EVE there was full splitt in certain communites where Ukranian and Russian players stod strong together.  Kind of like, players can stand strong with Plarium or just.. well.

Today I think I will enbark on a more EVE like pvp focus in this game. I will start hit on anyone and anything I can, preferly newbies. I will give them the nice and emergent gameplay Plarium desire. See how fast I can get them to stop play the game after remove their units. So what if Im 40 levels higher than someone else. This game is not about honor or being fair. There is no rewards for being good, there is no compass of morality.

Oberon is not the king of the castle or lord of own domain, he doesn't even play his castle. Heck, even the bots in this game play the game better, as one of the famous bot lines that being reported over and over, ever since level 30's, now reached level 50...

 

Mr Plarium and I have had a discussion involving the future of the Falling of Storms, and we have decided to completely remove all units from the game, thus making the game Farmville. We openly accept all criticism. Because of this decision we are making the game completely free, and allowing all players unlimited boosts... Thus essentially making it clicker heroes, now that we have officially changed genres 2 times in 1 forums and made the game completely free we no longer accept criticism as our product is free, this will eventually be marketed on green light  

If you accept us onto steam will we - Quoting Mr Plarium himself "we should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children" As you can clearly see Mr Plarium cares about communities as much as sir Billard gates. 

Seriously, can we all just chill out... I will campaign for build times, and have been for ages... But I don't think attacking Oberon and Plarium is the right way to go about it.

Criticism is not the same as attacking
