With no way to prevent bullies who spend a lot from taking a fort from level 20 to level 5, this is going to destroy the game.

You’re giving big spenders a huge advantage, but most players are mid-level spenders.  One guy spend $25,000 to downgrade a fort.  The median annual income in the United States is $60,000. Most of us can’t afford to keep up with that.

Why should mid-level players spend? My league hasn’t upgraded its fort because we know it will fall within hours of being upgraded. 

This update will kill the game.  Years of players work down the drain.

I can understand it may become hard for smaller leagues to raise a fort but you can take advantage of alliances for friendly fort swap Or merge in a bigger league to survive. We will forward all concerns to game developers for their consideration. 

What is the advantage in a fort swap?  Even if I sapph the fort to level 10, in five days it will be level 5 again.

And, as far as merger goes, you want people to spend money making new leagues, then you suggest they abandon those leagues if they won’t spend obscene amounts of money on the game? Did I understand that correctly?

I also play the game and not a big spender. My league is still holding a high level fort without a single attack. It all depends on your league engagements with rivals. 

And its better to merge to a bigger league because survival chances are lesser in small leagues but I understand players are reluctant to do it often. 

This update has raised the bar of a max hit from roughly 617 million to over 1.5 billion.  Since this update has been released I have already witnessed a fort destroyed that held over 3 billion defense which never would have been taken down without this horrible addition to the game. After witnessing this hundreds of leagues across server 2 have already started emptying and giving there forts away for friendly downgrades because no fort can withstand such attacks . You have once again not listened to your player base an now we have had enough . As if there wasn't enough horrible feedback from the mara tourney for you to know that permanently implementing it into the game for all to use under a different name wouldn't be a horrible idea. Not only have you made beacons useless but now you have also made forts useless.  The greed and ignorance has no limits here and you have succeeded in killing this game.  

I’m done spend any money on this game, no way will I be able to defend against big coiners with our hard won fort buffs toast. Ruined the game

As a middle-user i found this feature very fun.

But a terror around us is real... Bullies are searching for a new victim, thats the bad thing.

Anyway i try to enjoy this.

Yes, fear is real. 

My league hasn't witnessed any attacks yet but may be soon lol 

This update has also destroyed the forts. Large leagues control their fortresses in a controlled manner at level 5, so that not so many lose their units. Even strong fortresses were already lowered. The update must be reduced again, otherwise this is the slow end of the game. The further development is far too expensive and the rewards are very low. I can not spend any more money for that. When do the game developers finally realize that you can not milk the cow infinitely. The players are the customers and you should not balk at them, otherwise this game will be over.

Hello, Lords and Ladies!

First of all, thanks for coming here and leaving your feedback on the Forum. 

I've gathered all feedback from Forums and FB group and will forward it to devs today.

I understand many of you are not happy about this feature, but I have a couple of points to consider:

1. The maximum limit is set to 500k as it's not a solo attack, a couple of players can take part in it and it's logical that the limit will be higher than in the solo attack.

2. Not all players will be able to upgrade the Lost Art to the maximum level at once.

I don't think there is a big number of players who will. 

3. You can defend your Fortress all together and there is no limit for defensive units sent to it. Attacking players still face the limitation.

4. In the next update devs are going to update the way Fortresses are working. They will add more levels that can't be downgraded and players will have a chance to get a bonus that will increase the defensive power of their army.

Why wouldn’t they update the way fortresses work before or with the release of this new feature?  Instead they are going to try and fix it on the back end, but who knows how long that will take and by then the damage will be done and all the leagues that have worked so hard to level and defend their fortresses will have suffered.  Fortresses are dropping now, leagues are clearing them out now.  By the time they get a patch out to balance this garbage we will all be at 5.   In any other business people would be fired for operating in such a backward way.

Plarium developers learned nothing from their Sword of Mara disaster.
