Why can't we buy Maranian Amulets with Soulstones?

I mean, you need them to unlock the units, why not make an option to buy Amulets with them?

My Lord, remember, the Goddess Mara is the one who brought the Amulets to the lands of Stormfall. To receive these Amulets, you must first honour her by sacrificing Gold and Iron at the Altar of Mara. This is an old ritual which requires time and devotion.

The dear Goddess Mara is fine with us using sapphires to do them instantly though? Hahaha, time and devotion. Good one.

Now, now, Oberon want a new chariot for xmas after all.

Dear warrior Gadheras, all the Stormfallers have a common goal to defeat Balur and we are fighting against his Hordes. At the same time, our Lords and Ladies have their personal vision of their destiny, glory and honor. That is why some warriors prefer to stay alone on their path to success, other ones struggle in alliances for territories. Darkshine has brought forth a people of proud-hearted and honorable Lords and Ladies who fight for their beliefs and ideas. I respect this choice.

Well everyone is master of their own fate and destiny, but we all bound and chackled by the limitations of the sandbox stormfall is. I wouldn't talk to loud about honor and such though. Most of the time raid and pillage other players is most of the time thread on the weak and feeble, and beat them down again and again and again.... because that is the safe thing to do.

So been pondering about the "Infirmary" and ability to revive fallen ones. I think the description would probably be better with "heal wounded" to get ready for duty again.

Anyways, why isn't there something similar for offensive troops? Field Medics? Maybe not rev up towards 30% for free, but how about rev up towards 30% spending regular resources like gold and iron ?

The change to settlements is (from my point of view) just another shameless push towards get people to spend more on rev units. I guess the rewards you get from settlements now will be tied to your defensive force and not have any cap on amount other than what your army can carry right? So it would mean a lot more bigger fights tied to settlements would take place, unless people give them up all together not find it worth it anylonger.

Anyways, the push towards rev units with saps, could need some ballance to it, like abiluty to heal some offensive with no use of saps too imho.

What's up with the Fortification discounts?

After patiently waiting weeks for the next discount to come around, logging on this morning I see the banner "80% discount for Fortification purchases. Time remaining 21 hours".

I've waited weeks, have some sapphires accumulated and I'm ready. I begin to add to my castle walls and after clicking on one section I get a pop up that says "no more discounts, further selections will be full price"! One wall section and that's it! A bit stingy aren't we?

If you're going to give a discount for a number of hours then give a discount! If you're going to limit the application then say so up front so a Player can plan. Sheesh. 1 item!!

Arthur

Could been worse right? You got at least ONE item, lol..

Stone masons is in short supply in Stormfall, they currently busy upgrading Oberons bathroom :p

thanks

You can't really make this game round, or season based. Due to the time it take to aquire all the techs/scrolls. Also, people would get very uppset if they start throw away thousands of USD worth on this game (yes there is those silly enough to do that) and they start over.

The game is over when you realise its not worth it anylonger and find another game to play basicaly -)

Thanks - there's just no purpose of this game... It's like it's just there, doesnt do anything...

The dumbest are the ones that spend money to play.

No. games such as these need funding to stay up, there is people that have this as a job to run and maintain them bills to be paid etc. Just the business model totaly suck for players. As its all about try bleed as much cash out of the players as possible rather than try to give them the best possible gaming experience and thus make them spend cash that way.

There is just a couple things I spend cash on in this game, and over time that is no more than what I would like pay for a sub in SWTOR or spend on any other mmo out there.

This game have so much potentional to be a great game, due to the nature of the interaction with other players and the sandbox, but Plarium holding it back. *sad panda*

My question to Lord Oberon and only Lord Oberon:

Will you ever solve the bugs that all the players constantly mention on the forum or you would just continue to bring in features which bring short term benefits for plarium. There are heaps of bugs in newly added Hamlets (not to mention how much they suck). By any chance are they ever going to get solved. One of the issues I posted about in "Help and Support" section and looks like plarium has turned a blind eye towards it. Only if it was a feature that was beneficial for plarium then it would have been fixed the very next day (maybe even earlier then that).

Greetings, my Lord! Thank you for your question. The bugs that are mentioned on the forums/reported to the Heldesk system are added to the list of bugs that need to fixed. Portions of them are fixed in each update. Often new features bring new bugs (of course we test everything on our test servers before release, but live servers often reveal issues too), so the bug fix is a process that never stops.

The Hamlet bugs are being looked into as we speak and most of them will be fixed by the next patch. One should also understand that there are minor bugs and there are critical bugs. Naturally the critical ones get fixed quicker because the are assigned a higher priority.

My Lord, don't you find that in this regard the game is very similar to life? Life on Earth dates at least from 3.5 billion years ago and no one knows when it ends or it's purpose.

the sun will fade and die, lights out.

Know what would been cool? if this game had seasons, like actual winter, summer, etc... and each gave bonus and penalities as in real world. And actual objectives and goals the players need to reach together even they fight amongs themselfs too. Why doesn't the orc hordes attack player castles or Oberons castle?

While this would add a whole new layer of realism to the game, Stormfall is still a primarily a war/PvP game, not a sandbox or life simulator and the amount of work to implement all these things would be huge. I agree that all this would be great, but realistically not going to happen in Stormfall. Maybe in one of the future Plarium games 

I would very much claim Stormfall is a sandbox, because the content is created by the players for greater part. Its the meta game and the player interaction that make this game what it is.

Christmas is already so near.

Why is there no discount for castle improvements?
