CHAMPIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hello, my Lord!

First of all, let's don't forget Facebook and plarium.com are different platforms and it's absolutely okay they differ in some features.

At the moment, devs are focused on the development of the new engine that will be used for plarium.com games.

CHAMPIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Be very careful of what you wish for.....

LOL, to be careful?! Mate, are you serious?! Everyday I am doing my daily raids, visiting my friends castles (sending trips etc) and while doing that I complete all my Divine/Mar`eth quests. Building troops doesn`t requires much attention, nor skill :D and all that`s left to do are some battlegrounds....all these things I do  for like 2 hours (or maybe less).....

SO YEAH! I wish for something new ofc! ^^ :P I would like to see beacons again at level 5, more action around them! I`d love to see Balur more involved into the game - improved/new PvE features, ya`ll feel me?

I totally agree with Medivh . I have been waiting and hoping for these Champions to get to us for ages.... I have a rarely used Fb  castle but I can easily see how much we can do with these features . We all have our Plarium server castles and armies and league assets that we have been building and/ or buying stuff for, for years now, but  we cannot move them to the Fb servers  .

 Plarium put in the newer castle improvements, very nice I have them too  . But now if you wish to attack a castle with lvl 10 walls and improvements even if you have an army at the maximum attack force limit allowed by the game mechanics  you are not going to get through against a much smaller defense with the plus 10x CDB bonus  ....Castle fighting without these Champions is fairly ridiculous . All we can do is send a few FBs ....Boring and useless.

Empty Beacons abound on the Plarium servers. 1-2 yrs ago we had fierce fighting over these Beacons. Now with the changes in the game mechanics allowing for a relatively few wealthy coiner players to amass HUGE armies , it is impossible for a league to successfully defend Beacons  against a 3 player league attack from a trio of wealthy players .As it is now  with the current large army sizes a Beacon will need a minimum of 6 Billion of defense PER BEACON.....we have something like 114 Beacons on S2  ...with all off those Beacons being defended with say 1.5 Billion defense   , 3 players on a league could go slice though every single one of them on in an hour with few losses  . I know our guys could, so someone else can too . The number one league ranking spot can be easily attained in an hour or 2 by anyone with 100 pathfinders ,  easy to take over the map as it is now ...

There are a lot of great things on this game otherwise we wouldn't all be spending so much on it  . BUT the game mechanics have changed and the game is dysfunctional. Plaruim HAS found the solutions to this dysfunctionality , great and wonderful solutions , but they just are not currently giving them to us.

When will it happen ? We have been waiting for a long time

As for Beacons, we all know, it's quite a big feature and devs need to analyze much information about players interactions with them before making any decision.

How long ago since you could count the number of level 5 beacons on more than two hands, even ONE HAND? How much longer time is needed to observe and analyze? It start to get ridiculous to throw out that sentence knowing how long time its been now. This tune is starting to get very old.... Ask your higher ups to for another line to serve us please? for our amusement if nothing else....

Lord GADHERAS, I'm forwarding the information I have. Devs won't give me another line if the current one is they're working on the changes to Beacons. I can tell something like "Oh, the changes will come in a week", but it won't be the truth.

Exactly, we've all seen that every time a new feature is implemented the game gets considerably better and more fun.  Thanks for your suggestion, lord. 

Keep going in that direction and soon Plarium will require you to swear on oath that the earth is flat, and Alina is the North pole of this ''earth''.

You can't ignore all evidence out there. No evidence suggest that the game has got better with new features, contrary evidence show, beyond any doubts,  that the game has gotten worse with new every new added feature. 

Maybe you're ignoring all those complaining people in KoK chat, maybe you take DJ, like me, as a mere complainer. Cause he is the guy who has been posting here for years showing how the game has got worse. 

You're beyond saving, hope those 9K sapphires are worth it.

From what I have seen and read, champions are:

- ridiculously overpowered (bonuses that multiply on top of all other bonuses) 

- top rank ones are only going to be owned by coiners (except for a handful of very lucky players that get stupidly rare drops)

Good evening Lord! Pardon me, but I couldn`t understand you at 100%. If you refer to me as bored of the game, you are completely wrong. Because I am daily online with my league, having fun ingame. I wanted to point out that if Plarium wants to keep us playing the game, sooner or later they will have to do something - to introduce a new feature(s), and I believe the time has come. I`ll give you another reason why I insist and why I really hope Plarium will introduce new features to us, is that I am playing since late 2015 and so far I`ve seen gaming improvement in the stuff Plarium has implemented, but if we have to be honest....we haven`t seen anything new on our servers from kinda long time :)

This Statement is false

 I wanted to point out that if Plarium wants to keep us playing the game, sooner or later they will have to do something - to introduce a new feature(s)

There is no evidence that Plarium need to keep players playing the game, this clause, even though you threw it to entice some emotions, is largely false. Contrary, Plarium upper management, has been making statements since 2014 that they don't believe in PC based game, and they are going to follow the money and migrate to the world of mobile gaming, and has been doing so for years. They cut bug management team on Plarium.com by up to 80%, got rid of many support team personnel and cut back on forum spending and CMs. They are taking over 2 years to complete a unity migration, because most of their developers are making new mobile games. 

The only evidence is that features are implemented to cut back gamers number, and make money.

Alina, well, you know... If Plarium created a poll and then made it pop up when players login to the game and asked question regarding customer satisfaction, view on features and such and then published the results of such a poll for all to see, we would have a rather greater view of the actual picture than comments from the "fanboys" and the ones on the more negative side (which I probably belong in, but I do give credit where credit is due when I see something I belive is good). 

The reality of things is, its the "silent majority" that never have their voice heard, it come down to the loud voices of the NAY and JAY crowd who often find their ways to things like forums and other social media. Activity on forums and social media in general when it come to games does reflect the population as whole though. Decline in use have a great impact, because the "silent majority" that never get involved they just fade out, no one really notice for most parts. The most vocal ones tends to be the ones hanging in the longest, hoping for changes to rekindle the fire, but without the silent majority that is needed to make the fire going, there wouldn't be anything to rekindle.

Hello, Lord Gadheras!

To tell the truth, I really liked your idea of making a poll that will appear either during game loading or once it's loaded.

Next week I will have meeting with my Team Leader and I'm going to discuss this idea with her. I think it can be a great source of the additional statistics in the number value. Like rate this update from 1 to 10, and if you want to leave any other additional comment, you're welcome to post on Forum (like to the Game discussion thread).

Lord Oracle, nice to see you're active on Forum again 

Let me reply to the concerns you brought up here:

You can't ignore all evidence out there. No evidence suggest that the game has got better with new features, contrary evidence show, beyond any doubts, that the game has gotten worse with new every new added feature. 

Have you ever thought how often we tell about the positive feedback we had regarding this or that service? I'm not talking about games only, but about any service you receive or use in your real life. I don't think it happens too often. And it's not only about us, but about the majority of people.

Negative emotions give us stronger motivation to come and talk about things we don't like. 

I don't ignore there are negative comments regarding Champions, but there are positive ones as well. Here you go with the example:

Yes, they are not so often because people used to keep some positive emotions to themselves. That's why when reading feedback regarding this or that feature, you caт draw conclusion it's only the negative one.

There is no evidence that Plarium need to keep players playing the game, this clause, even though you threw it to entice some emotions, is largely false.

We're working on the new engine for our games to be ready when Flash will stop working. Isn't it one of the main evidence we don't plan to close our browser games? 

Why would we create a separate team who is working on this engine if we shifted focus to mobile games?

Plarium is a big company and we can afford developing mobile direction and keep on working on plarium.com games.

I understand you want to show us you have a lot of inside information (like the number of our developers and our main focuses), but please let's avoid sharing false information and giving reasons for other players' confusion.

Keep going in that direction and soon Plarium will require you to swear on oath that the earth is flat, and Alina is the North pole of this ''earth''.

And I just can't go by this new role you're going to give me :) I'm ready to take it with all solemnity

Is that part of Plarium's 'official' stance?? "We can count on those that do not post/reply."

Care to comment on how that is going? From the forum view point it is on the edge of being a complete failure.

And as to mobile games, that was a major point of purchase for the current owners.

Multiple teams is not the real issue,,, seemingly competent teams or members is. How many things were screwed up with the last update verses the "improvements".

I could comment of your 'fridged promotion', but I'll let others fill in the blanks for themselves.

Hello, Roadstar!

> Is that part of Plarium's 'official' stance?? "We can count on those that do not post/reply."

I dont think any update is going to fix what people are talking about. The problem is people who try to play the game dont get credit. Only the big spenders get the credit cause they out buy what is possible in game.

we wont see any new features until after flash is gone. why would they waste their time writing all that code when flash is outta here in 18 months. 

have we had any confirmation that the devs are indeed working on a platform for PC gaming? and that that platform includes stormfall?

I know Alina has said so... but is there anywhere else we can refrence?  anyone have a link to news article, game review, press kit, etc?

The sparta forum,, most of it is under "beta",,,, what has not been deleted already...

Well, just because something reach a beta, or a testing stage, it doesn't  necessary mean it come to completion, based on results in the testing. Like project become more costly, time consuming etc than expected returns. yada yada yada..

Why do all think flash will die?  

This is just competition. Each company has its own stand-alone product.  

Because the creators of flashplayer not developing it any further and stopping release security fixes and so forth.

https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/

Hello, everyone!

Lord GADHERAS is right. After news about Flash destiny was released, devs started to think about the new engine and movement of our games to it.

I can't give you any signed in papers where all devs of the company put their signatures and made an oath they're working on the new engine.

But I can tell you about their current tasks and priorities. We have one separate team who is working on the new engine and you can see from Sparta that the process of movement is going.

Why would it take so long?

Because first, they need to move all players from Spart to WebGL, fixing all reported bugs during this process, and only then start to move Stormfall players to the engine.

As for the new features, devs don't plan to add them now as it's not logical to move them back and forward from the old engine to the new one. It will be easier to add them to WebGL at once.

Companies that are using flash are anxious and have to spend money and manpower on the change.  There will be many layoffs and personnel changes. Low-level staff should be prepared for the worst case scenario. That would be a "fatigue" for people who used flash for their work. Now they have to learn something to replace the flash. It's just a bunch of tired working days and worries about their job placement. 

Things the company is interested in are profitable. flash goes down they will have their separate products.  Just as Microsoft no longer has sole proprietary operating system. 

Normal users will not care about that but just think of something better.  That puts pressure on people who are using flash to build on their work. 

What's new and nice? Who will be the creator and who will benefit from it?

Bankruptcies are caused by a false investment or a kick out of competition. The company is a heavy machine it will not like when you operate individually. When you are praised, it means responsibility is placed on you.

Wait to see what products will replace the flash!?

Companies want to have their proprietary products on the market.  

The flash has been developed for a long time and is accessible. The large market also means that you are occupying another's land. Why do you think they did not continue because of security flaws?

There are many things that are offered and no one likes free for others. If so they just bite the dust that lives.

The thing I see is just the replacement of the product. After the flash finishes know where will more of the flash code be shared for free?

just a market takeover.

There will be rumors that all those who are building flash games will go bankrupt.

If used for non-commercial purposes the flash is still available. Winxp is no longer supported but i still keep it for other purposes. Some companies have cracked Microsoft's monopoly on using non-Microsoft products.
