Looks like it's here that i have to give my toughts about the new system.......
It's very bad :
- New players will learn that prizes will change their powerfull armada or fleet units into some junk pirate mercs during 50+ prizes before having a real prize which wont refund what they lost.
==> U Speak about news players u know that they need 3 month before starting to build fleet and 4 before armada ! so they have pirates and mercs mainly and this system willdestroy the few fleet or armada they got with tourneys ... enjoy
In which world would u expect players to be happy to jump from system A to system B :
System A :
Losts : 100 prizes : 100 armada / 250 fleet / 500 merces /1500 pirates death
Prize : 110 armada and 350 fleet (3 time a prize)
==> Lower rhum consumption, O is still at his highest, O with more movespeed
System B :
Losts : 100 prizes : 100 armada / 250 fleet / 500 merces /1500 pirates death
Prize : 50 armada and 80 fleet 400 mercs 700 pirates
==> Enjoy i got units at each prize, (the units i want to sacrifice) small O for high rhum consumption
To conclude i'll see the prze and the light house as an event to do only when tehre is a tourney.
If we are a lot to dislike this new system there are reasons, of course u'll always find players who are ok with that, it's the same players who are losing a lot of units in game doing a lot of mistakes or the new ones. I think there is 0 satisfaction to win 10 mercs or 40 pirates when u think about what u lost for.
Product manager & co. did a system for people who dont think or only look at what they win and not "what they lost". They did a system for pple who are dancing and are happy to win 5$ after spending 10. Well maybe they have right maybe most of players are like that but my advice is this system reduce the interest of a part of the game : prizes.
