If Plarium want to increase player retention then developers should implement ways to reduce/eliminate TEDIOUS tasks. Battle is what makes the game exciting. There should be a way to quickly complete both ERRANDS and Attacking Assailants. For example:

> There is already a way to complete all Usual Errands with a single click above a certain VIP Level. This should exist for all ERRAND types at a lower VIP Level.

> There should be a way with a single click to keep generating Basic Attacks on an Assailant until either

• Destroyed
• Run out of Stamina
• Blocking popup, like Hero level-up

Have to say as a new player the game is just  way to complicated .

Thank you all for the feedback! And for your own opinion and suggestions.  
We'll definitely consider your suggestions, and our developers will decide which of them to implement. Feel free to write us if you have any other ideas or suggestions. 

Have a nice day!

Study times  well u can start of a study have a week away on holiday and its still not done when u get back. build times are insane as well as having to upgrade each one individually. then u have to sort the hero's out ,upgrade troops, train troops and then fuse stuff together. That's just a few of the things that you have to do. It really is just overwhelming.  

Study (and build) times may APPEAR excessive. There is an easy (and legal) solution. Unfortunately, this is not explained in the automated introduction. The solution is to reach multiple checkpoints in events, which are run continuously. Most checkpoints include study/build time boosts.

It is even easier after joining a large strong Order. Then you also get study/build time boosts when the order completes checkpoints in "Special" events.

SUGGESTION FOR DEVELOPERS

Explain to new players the benefits of completing checkpoints and/or joining an Order.

 thanks for the info iron

lead times on studies and buildings are excessive.  Earning boosts via events is irrelevant when times stretch into years. One cannot advance without bank offers.  And the way bank offers are presented are often misleading and or not very useful.  It also annoying to see offer immediately come back after purchasing at higher price

Obviously the whole game is designed to make money.  And folks figure it out very quickly.

So I'd argue most people leave because they get tired of having to spend money to play or the way it is extracted.

One of the main reasons simply is like now, cant log in , have extra troops out , cant log in, losing troops because I cant recall them , thank you very much, dumb asses, this aint the first time, try to stabilise your game , especialy your login probs, sometimes it takes days befor we can log in again , while we cant log in I guess the russian players can and will take advantage of NOT having any opposition in attacking.

Well ... they are 8h ahead of us. Can't really blame them - no doubt you'd do the same if the situation were reversed.

Clearly not a game issue, if they can log in, but you can't.

So what you are really suggesting is to get a vpn , or proxy to enable me to get a stable connection with the game servers involved?

Yep. For those times when you need to get in just long enough to raise shield.

Your call - lose troops during these local to you outages, or not.

Adding dollars into vpn acct's etc etc

Not necessarily. Search 'public proxy'. Opera browser includes vpn. You just want it for/during these situations, while you figure out what's going on with your local / country / CDN connectivity.

... no my friend the moment I get into the game server the login will be asked, not before I want to enter the game

It's not the initial connect that is the problem, is the CDN cached data behind and surrounding it - e.g. icon / image data. (Or you wouldn't get x% far,)

And if getting in fails with your native CDN, while not with coming in through a different country / CDN path, then the problem lies not with you, nor Plarium, but the internet pipes between you and them - out of yours, and their, control.

..... so imho it is a failure from the game server itself

Clearly not if you are able to get in through a different country / CDN. It's the pipes between you and them, not either you or them.

The only real point to this here, is to be able to prove to yourself that that is or is not what is being inflicted upon you at the time, be able to get your shields up long enough to survive the interruption, and buy you time to figure out what's what, and for how long.

and btw Im in Europe, nearby Russia

Which perhaps proves my point?

Just make sure you're not on wi-fi. Or, at least, prove to yourself that it doesn't happen non-wifi, so you can eliminate / confirm that potential problem source.

same problem again while running with Opera and VPN , what a load a crap ! And a load a bs.... Its not the first time, it always happens after server updates etc, to me it looks like a server cache problem, logins wont be recognised after reset.... and im sure with me there are hundreds of players like me with the same story.... THATS why people leave !!!!! Those servers cant cope with the amount of people logging in !! pffffffttttttt 

Dont listen to bs stories like its your fault !! Its the server you are trying to log in to. I can log in to many other Throne KD at war servers, just the 163 not at the moment. Thay have been tryint to tell me its outside their possibilities, well its NOT, the f..... up. And have done so many times around server updates and service ......Had it been outside failures like vpn proxy etc etc etc, I would NOT be able to log in onto the other servers like 164 and 133 !!! Cmon Plarium get your act together !!

Greetings!

Is your issue still relevant? Game should be accessible now.

Why players leave game!

Too many crashes where players lose everything.
