These are the types of messages we are seeing more and more in the game lately, its sad because these are good and steady players who have been around for a long time - I try to encourage my members NOT to spend on the game but this is the reality of it

[09:53] NAME REMOVED: JEZ hello :) I have decided to stop playing stormfall. Please don`t mind i just don`t feel like i can do much or even some.Game for me has become very dificult to play becouse if you don`t spend money you can`t play you can just be here watching others play.Thank you for everything , i have enjoed my time here.I wish you and everybody good luck in both game and real life. 

Please stop the insanity and make this game what it should be for EVERYONE

I could said so much about my thoughts about this, but I'm afraid it would put me in the box again for a long while. This is a Plarium issue, its not a player issue. Plarium got a strict its their way or the highway, and sit still in the boat and make no waves. What you see is players that vote with their wallets, and that is what players do.

When I first started play this game, I started to try reach out and connect to a lot of players I came across. Like I do with most mmo's I play. Because, end of the day, mmo's is about social gaming. Hardly anyone of those back then is still playing today. Its just the nature of a game such as this I'm afraid.

Hi all!

Thank you for your feedbacks, I know some of players are leaving but some are still playing and some are enjoying it. It's just a game and is a personal decision for everyone if he\she playing it or not. 

Also, we can't argue with Plarium, is a game is a business and they are leading it, there are many departaments inside like any other company which analyze the indicators the feedbacks from us and all kinds of factors....

So, in the end all we can do it's just to give them real feedbacks, suggestions about the game and this is it....

ps.: one way to gain more Stoneheart units is playing Stoneheart BG Tournament which just been launched....enjoy it...

Best regards and thank you again!

I don't know what country you are from, but its not just a game, its also a product and players is also paying consumers. Maybe we can't directly argue with Plarium, but we can show our discontent. As with products else, you can find a lot of negative reviews on both products and companies online. Plarium seldom listen to or react to our critics and feedback. No one know their games better than the ones actually playing them, and these are games where social interaction is one of the most important factors to have a game that thrive. 

And you are right it sa personal choice whether someone play it or not, and that is why we seen over time how the game bleed players. Any mmo can only bleed players for so long before it reach a critical mass. Imho, with Stormfall we already passed critical mass with no real hope of turn things around they way things carry on. 

I am closer to quieting than ever. haven't [played the game in weeks. And i came back to find everything in humbles. Everyone is gone. League chat is dead silent, even the global chat, chamber 1 which was the most active is dead silent. 

The game is a zombie land with no zombies out. Its a shame. I warned these would happen. DJ moody was right.

The game is dead. and is rather sad. 

Let's not forget about bugs. This is constructive feedback, though I believe Plarium dosen't see it as constructive. We know that bugs that dosen't benefit Plarium is solved within hours. Bugs that dosen't benefit players takes months to fix, if they fix it at all. This game get's more bugs by every update and no fixes are made.

As statements in this thread, but you also have happy players with less (immersion-breaking) bugs. After Champions and Stoneheart, I have to refresh my game 7-8 times a day. Before that, 2-3 times per day.

And you can forget about reporting them. If you do, be prepared to capture your game session by support to prove a bug. So now I have to download a tool to be able to capture my desktop and a tool to edit my video? (if no edit, the raw footage would be massive). I want to play the game for a few hours, not capture a video and edit it to prove a bug. We are not hired by Plarium to take care of their mess. We are not play testers for Plarium, this is a full game released without Alpha/Beta stamp (though it feels like Beta). Where is QA department?

I could continue, but I fear as I said that this wouldn't be taken as constructive feedback.

i think the fact that there is a moderator commenting on this thread that i have never heard of before goes to show that too many players are leaving the game. 

Hi there Ironapex, its not that Plarium cant find a respected Mod, its a matter of most players in the game cannot restrain themselves from being negative on the forums sometimes and turn down the Moderator jobs that get offered to them, 

when Plarium needs a Moderator they ask around, the last Moderator job some on this forum were asked but they turned it down, it was also asked on the facebook forum so I applied, answered the questionaire correct and got the job, now you may ask yourself, why would anyone become a moderator, well I can tell you why I did

1, Enganging in general conversation where it is constructive is good and can be helpfull most times too, I enjoy that

2, I like to help players out who ask for the help with any game queries

3, being a part of the Mod team gives you 1st hand communication with Plarium employees and I try my hardest to get most bugs to reproduce every time before I pass it onto the team so they can get developers to look into it to get the very annoying bugs fixed as fast as possible

I am a very experienced player of Stormfall, been playing since late 2013, now your Plarium servers and the Facebook server have 3 different things with our games but the rest of it all works the same, 1 thing i do hope gets changed for your Plarium servers is they put in force limits

When we all started to play this game yes it was different but everyone who complained about something in the game was to controlled by the coiners like settlements for example, you have no idea how many complaints were put on the forum about settlements how 1 player was allowed to hold them for the whole duration they were in the game for their time with just 1 archer, and if you took that settlement away, their whole alliance would attack you so you all got hamlets because of this, a 1v1 style player format where 1 person cannot hold a hamlet continuously for the duration of its cycle before it refills again. 

What changed in that regard?, now you got coiners that completely control the beacon game. Hence, there is no active beacon game any longer.  The state of the game is not a player problem its a Plarium problem, how would you challenge Plarium in that regard? We being knocked back one bastion at the time until nothing is left. Any game need a strong core game to build on. See any strong core game left in Stormfall?

Sir Dan Saul Knight, its nothing to do with being a brown noser as you say but everything to do with helping out players when they ask for help, being able to get bugs looked into promptly provided I can reproduce them sucessfully as well.

I have helped many players over the years to get ahead in this game with all of the changes, I adapt and learn fast, I also take in other players advice and try it out if I have never done that ingame before, its just a way to get things done faster

Take the stoneheart units for example, while most are rushing to try to get their gargoyles unlocked to build and their abilities upgraded I am still doing pergator upgrades, reason why is because the pergator defensive special abilities are the only thing that will counteract the gargoyle special offense abilities so my defense will be ready if the gargoyle players come for me, being a Mod is not a bad thing, I find it challenging but enjoyable

there used to be "unwritten" rules to settlements if you got there first you got the settlement no need to defend it if someone took it you took it back and if needed with a show of force - settlements could be league defended and gave a different aspect to the PVP game - i cannot be bothered with relic settlements even though i still need some relics - its just a waste of time as are holding fiefs with archers - farms will always be raided so holding a bunch of fiefs only creates a waste of time to reclaim your fiefs

Hi there Sir Dan Saul Knight, this forum is easy compared to the facebook forum, and as far as helping other players go, I see players here even you giving  good gaming advice to others who ask questions in a positive way most of the time so that destroys your theory of no one here ever  posts any help to other players

Why did they choose me? well that I dont know, but it possibly could be based on my behavior on the facebook forum as I do help there too without getting angry

Yes agree with you I don't have an ego, egos in this game will get your troops killed very fast for your 5 minutes of fame, I don't plan to exit this game, I will still be enjoying working out new stratedgys to kill some killers with my offense and to watch other killers die on our mobile defense walls, I have a responsibility to my league to guide them to many victories not losses, only place most of us post the kills is on our league page now

the 3rd part was not really out of context, making complaints on a forum many times in a bad way is being negative, I used the settlements scenario as 1 example from many of real facts

OMG you can't miss the point more.....

Quick summary and recap:

- I say that brown nosing / posting positive Plarium supporting posts is what gets you appointed mod

- You say, no it's about helping people

- I say, you must be wrong because there are plenty of people helping here but they apparently have to go to FB to find you. So it's clearly not about helping people

- You agree with me that people help a lot here

this forum is like Icecream, mostly sweet smooth and easy

That is the whole flipping point.

The players are very well behaved to each other with the tiny exception of one or two of the propaganda / league vs league threads. There are loads of people here with the balance and calm heads to moderate.

So it amazes me/us that Plarium find it IMPOSSIBLE to EVER appoint a long term member of this forum to be a moderator. Hasn't happened for a good two years (apart from one time but best not to talk about that).

I thought about applying few months back. But, Plarium is ONLY looking in the native English community. As I am not English, there wouldn't even be a point for me to apply.

 this forum is easy compared to the facebook forum, 

Dont worry Lord Gadheras, I am well known on my server, I have only shown a very small amount of screenshots to backup what I say when I do comment sometimes on here because you don't know me, its not to brag or boast saying hey I'm better than you, its to proove to you that I do have a lot of ingame experience and can backup what I say, thats all its for, some posts here I dont comment on because a Mod or Player has already given the correct advice to whats being asked so I click like on the comments instead. 

I'm a thorn in the side of some of the biggest  bully coiners in the game on my server because of my never say die attitude in gameplay, I have even gone as far as to wait for them to port from their homespot to go killing beacons and I then port into their homespot and will sit  there for weeks just raiding the castles they killed for resources just to get under their skin, I really can be that evil in the game if it is necessary 

you know I used to complain about some changes to the game or bugs over the years, but I realised that complaining on the forums really got me nowhere so I used to private message the community manager and I did get better results there, the main time I will do a post on the forum is when the game goes down worldwide, I see many of the same people who say I'm quitting the game on the forum are the 1st to post  and complain about the game being down meaning they never actually quit, its just calling bluff 

I have a few coiner friends who play server 2 also and it is virtually all coiners and who has the biggest ego, big coiners vs big coiners and they are still fighting hard at it, many players on server 2 with 200k dragons + to go killing with so yes on some servers coiners will keep on fighting coiners just for that ego trip to say they are the best
