We've had similar reports in the past and Plarium's response was always that it's ok and that it can happen.

I've heard (don't remember where; could be from Plarium) that it's not pure random, but it depends on the spending of all players in your area (in archipelago, maybe).

Either way, it's known and not considered a bug.

It is definitely not a random draw. I have received resource production boost at least 2 days in the last 17 (starting on Halloween) all the other days have been the offer of either 30%, 40% or 50% off resources. Call it anything else, but it ain't random.

Yep got the same 30% off resource production boost again, going round in circles and not getting any other kind of offers from the wheel. Not right and needs to be addressed by PL. Since Aristocrap took over the game it hasn't been the same has gone backwards in a lot of areas, players will get frustrated and leave.

Ok, I asked. Here is the official response:

Such a repetitive receiving of similar offers isn't a bug but a game functionality. All players receive different ranges of offers. And some offers have the highest percentage of being distributed. That is why they are given so often.
The game team has lately checked it again and it's still not a bug.

Like I said before: there is an internal logic that most of us dislike, but it's not a bug and Plarium won't "fix" it because it's working as intended.

I, for example, have been getting almost only res discounts for weeks now, with occasional production boost discounts. I don't remember when was the last time I had veteran training or a revival discount. Likely months for the latter and years for the former.

Bonjour,


Depuis 1 mois chaque jours c'est habillage avec des pourcentage différents, mais toujours habillage ...

Une roue normalement ça tourne, alors pourquoi avec toutes les possibilités, c'est tous les jours habillage

Je viendrais chaque jours vous montrer, vous verrez comme c'est lassant :

If they want us to buy rubies, then they gonna have to offer something we will want  to spend them on first. No need to buy if they have nothing for sale.

Et moi je n'ai que habillage chaques jours, pas de rhum ni de troupes

Franchement avec tout ce que propose la roue, chaque jours habillage 

Il y a un problème et il serait bon de le reconnaître et d'y remédier non ??

Hello, Pirates! 


We know that many players complain about the WOF. Still, it works in such a way as it was described by Crowbar before and such repetitive offers aren't a bug.


I completely understand your point in here, however, the thing is that offers are formed in groups, in which some offers are rare and others are quite frequent. So a player needs to get another group of offers for being able to receive some other frequent offers.


We do hope for your understanding.

So the question would be; How the Heck does a player suppose to go about getting "another group of offers for being able to receive some other frequent offers" ??????? Does the player have control over which group of offers he receives? Explain.

Please, take a politer tone. Alina is one of the best CMs we've had and she really tries hard to help the players. On the subject of the Wheel, like so many other Plarium decision, she is just a messenger and does not deserve to be shouted at.

As for your question, I asked her that as soon as I saw her reply. She said that it's random and we have no control over that.

Ultimately, the Wheel is what it is, at devs' decision. It's neither mine nor Alina's fault. I agree with you that this behaviour is wrong (as a Plarium employee, she is in no position to tell us her personal opinion). I don't think either one of us can say anything new on the subject, and the players - me included - will remain unhappy with the Wheel.

I used to think the more you bought something the more often it gave you that as a discount.  I think I was just lucky it was giving me what I wanted at the time.

10 rubies says they only gave it to him  because he is out of rubies!  :P



 I think I've been stuck on unit restorations for about a month.  Guess I better stop killing all the neighbor's productions (giggles)

Cant understand how you can say the WOF is working the way it should, I have been playing this game since 2016 and its only been the last month or so that all I get is resource boosts/ discounts so something has to have changed full stop, so tell me what has changed and how do I get out of this resources cycle.

Plarium claims that it gives more relevant discounts to lower levels, i.e., as you progress, you get worse discounts. Mine have been been very rarely useful for years now.

Id call that manipulation, bias, discrimination, cheating, etc,  if you rolled the ball in roulette,  45 times how many times would it land on the same two numbers ???? Please sort this mess out

It IS biased. Plarium admitted as much, and they said it was intentional. Unlike roulette, which is supposed to be unbiased.

I conveyed the issues from this topic to Plarium, and even got them to give an official response here when you guys were unhappy to hear it from me (Alina above confirmed Plarium's stance on it; mind you, she's a messenger, not a policy maker). You can keep repeating your request to "sort it out", but Plarium's stance is that there is nothing to sort out and that, sadly, won't change, nor can I or Alina offer you anything more on the subject.

Btw, I got res today. Res boost yesterday. One of those two for the past... month? two months? no idea anymore...
