and SOME ONE PLEASE explain to me how this  protection works

we got all our flags taken today while I was at work

tier 4  BTW

so I go to try to take some back,  fortess in under protection for 23 more minutes

I read an email  took all of 5 min, go look,   now the fort has been raided and is an hour before I can hit it

how is it, I couldn't attack it but someone else could????

as a matter of a fact its protection SHOULD have come down while I was typing this!!!

organizing a boycott will get you banned in the following cases 

1) insulting the company or showing anything but respect 

2) asking others to stop playing or to quit 

3) asking sapphire or any purchase boycott

however it is OK

if you all agree to NOT participate in a specific event or to not play a specific aspect of the game ( as well as you also are not forcing other players to do so )

note that some players may disagree with the boycott 

however it is a sensitive matter and one post ( eligible for removal ) can start a lot of other posts that all will result into removing the thread 

All tournies have to have a time to start and end. And having rolling times to cover the timezones would wreck havoc.like the lag isn't bad as it is that would kill the servers faster than cup of koolaod in a cult compound. And folks would still prestack.

No such things, 

Jezebel time zone is UCT-4, the tournament started at UCT 12:00, so when it started it was already 8 H 00 in the morning for you. I mean 8 in the morning, and you are complaining. 

The is no time zone probelms with these tournament, all is just nag and entitlements. if time is a problem then the same can be said of PvP, BG and harmlet tournament, since people like Jezebel are highly favoured by time, they wake up with tournaments starting and ending. 

there is more than one time zone in Canada ... 

very true, indeed, I used the one at 43.6532° N, 79.3832° W , not tangible but will do in these case

Just utterly wrong.

There are 3 major timezones - US, Europe, Asia. 

It's impossible to start a tournament that is fair to all.

The answer is clearly - do not to run tournaments in which all the actions occurs in the first minute.

Why you would want to deny that obvious truth is just beyond me - saddens me you are willing to argue against the good of the player base as a whole to try and "score stupid points" over someone.

Not really a LOL either more of a

''There are 3 major timezones - US, Europe, Asia.  ''

Bare assertion fallacy, there are as many time zone as time itself some extent beyond the tangible space-time reality. you should check out some quantum mechanics, very nice stuff, even if you know the basic like particle-wave duality it will help in making more proper statements. 

''It's impossible to start a tournament that is fair to all''

If it was possible to start a tournament that is fair to all then we would not have a hard core game like plarium. PvP is one such tournament that is focused on the elements of unfairness. A player with a better strategy/activity/army/alliance has more advantage as compared to a player who has less strategy/activity/army/alliance. it's the hard truth of MMO, the hardcore players those with better patience, dedication, Decision making, Background Knowledge ect win 

''do not to run tournaments in which all the actions occurs in the first minute. ''

I am not sure what you mean by that. But I am sure what you meant to say is that plarium should not run tournaments that you can't win, and some can win. I Understand, I have seen it in hamlets, BG and PvP, every tournament start way too late for me to get into the top ten. By the time they start i will be tired.For example most hamlets tournaments are won by sending a massive defense army 5-3 hrs before the tournaments start, and claiming just second after the tournament start, earning massive points in the 1-30K. these few seconds are crucial also to attackers who, quickly attack and wipe out all the defense in there. By the time I check in, all harmlets are emty, and there is no use in defending them, you will be quickly wiped out. I find it unfair, And i also support the players( which include you only) in removing all tournaments because i am too lazy to participate, like you. 

are willing to argue against the good of the player base as a whole to try and "score stupid points" over someone.

all I know is,  letting higher tiers hit TWO tier below them is horrible

100 leagues now hold aprox 250 of the 300 available flags from tier 2 -  5

tier two will not have a TOP 10    as only 4 leagues have ANY FLAGS

Please be short and precise, so it could be easier to identify the issue. Thank you in advance 

1) You need an opt out button for those leagues that don't wish to participate. If the Marshall opts out, no points/flags gained by the league will count.

2) Take the flags out of the fortress and make it more of a hunt to find them - put them in random places on the map and have them regenerate during the duration of the contest. Have Balur defend them if you are set on having a fight for them.

3) Cancel it completely.

1) it would be nice if there were rewards other than just buffs/ debuffs.

2) if you dont post the start time it will be harder to plan to be on it might help a little for done in 60 seconds (probably not)

1. We need more of them,, atleast once per weak

2. We need more of PvP 2X normal, the one that came last week

Modest question....

How much leagues are able to defend a fortress constantly ?

The most in server 2 are the leagues with a higher coiner part inside it. And few leagues are only able to reach the milestone lvs (good that we have few check points in the fort upgrading process).

The most leave the forts empty cos the risk to lose the defence units there is to high, that is why others can take this chance to get the flags.

If your fort get a combined hit of 3 heavy spenders you lose your troops and the flag even so. So a lot of leagues on a milestone dont keep any attention to the event.

Cost against gain if you make a breaking line under it you see that you lose more at the end, so why start anything which is lost before it starts ?

Yes, seems like they received an advantage. But it's one of the benefits of winning the Tournament :)

By the way, in Total Domination we're testing a new raiding mechanics. There is a daily limit on raids, more Raid attempts (for those who can't reach the limit with just 10 Raids), and an extended limit for each Raid - 100k Resources. I'm not sure if it comes to Stormfall some day. As I said, we're testing it and gathering player feedback. For most players it doesn't really change anything, but I think it could affect the situation you've mentioned above. How do you think?

.....................................................................................................................................................

By daily limit on raids, do you mean 1m resources? So that the trick no longer works? 10, 100k raids equal 1m resources? The new weekly cap will be increased to 100k.

It sounds better than the 30 raids in nords, however, for some it will still be 30 raids. Will the xtra raids become available after the first 10 hit? Will the raids be per reset rather than replenished over time?

With 30 raids and 100k resource cap the resource field will be even more competitive. And will most likely become even more depleted. Even with bot castles more and more castles will become empty thus making it necessary to raid 30 times to get the new limit. What limit would there be on raids? Wait for 10 at a time? Or send out 50 and hope they stick?

Yesterday I had six 25k/25k/0 raids but my four 4k/4k/42k raids were obliterated. Higher caps and more raids are fine, but without also raising the resource field it could become more complicated, as well as being ineffective. If the resource field is reduced then game over.

Do we get 150k with caravan trick? Or max 100k no matter what we do. Either is bad for me.

With getting 150k with the caravan it'll make raid targets dry most of the time.

With 100k max whatever we do that means I have wasted sketchies on the market.

Oh well.

So the caravan capacity. That I have bumped up with soulstones and sketches is soon to moot?

If you have maxed your Caravan Capacity, no one will take it away from you :)

Seriously - you render useless the benefit people paid money for and then say you aren't taking anything away.

That kind of response which is neither candid nor sincerely addressing the issue will just cause rage among the player base.

It's only pixels for the love of god, You can refund them to people are zero variable cost. A well balanced and rational developer would do it without hesitation because they would realise it's their goldmine paying customers they are alienating. Failarium is so money grabbing it's blinded to looking beyond it's own nose. It's kind of hilarious to watch you fail sometimes, stabbing yourselves in the foot as you go.

this is why i haven't made a purchase in 9 months.  being told "this is not a technical issue", when it was, and even if it wasn't, where are the big boys who can make an executive decision and refund 4k worth of sapphires while taking back troops never meant to be revived.  they are pixels!  yet for the player it changes the gameplay.

this is just as WRONG as it can be

I get hit every 15 min, but cannot attack ANYONE
