Yes, they diversified the gameplay but not in a good manner.

For example hamlets. There is no way to adapt my strategy WITHOUT costs. Hunting for hamlets cost you a lot of time, patience and drawing blanks or sapphs. It's just annoying.


Time ago you got some sapphs for daily logging in. It was a little bit more profitable for the players and it would empower us to enjoy "new features", at least occasional.

But you can still get free Sapphires for daily log in: On days 30, 60, 90.

Yeah, but it's not comparable to  the past. It's all smoke and mirrors.

daily login for 90 days get you 250 sapphires.... If you miss a day, back to scratch... There is a reason why players have other players babysit their castles and such if they have to go away for a few days, vacation etc. You should make it so it count towards every day you login total and not consecutive. But in the grand scheme of things, 250 sapphires after 90 days is.. a drop in the ocean.

You receive 600 Sapphires in total for 90 days, not 250. Don't forget this  And yes, you need to log in daily to receive a reward. Because it's the reward for the consecutive login. If you prefer playing only a few days a week, it's your choice. But you can't receive this kind of reward then. It's fair.

If people only got a few times a week on their schedule they can sit down with their game, and spend their "valuable time" in your game. I think that should be rewarded too. 


And yes, you are correct over a duration of 90 days, that is 600 sapphires. A whole whooping 6.6 sapphires a day!!! WHOW...


People got lives, they not drones. Still 600 sapphires over a duration of 90 days is still a drop in the ocean. What can we get for this?


Lets see, 12 level 1 wall pieces. Or how about one fireball? maybe a single hydra. Or ONE crystal coffer level 2... Or why not a single 12 hour universal boost if you spend another 60 sapphires extra.


or why not. Imagine if you login in every day for a entire year. You can afford to buy ONE Great western dragon and get some chump change over......


And all this magnificant reward for make sure you log in and click your game every single day....


You know this sounds unreasonable right?

the game has become utterly boring and cluttered with what amounts to pop up ads trying to get you to buy saphires.


every aspect of the game is an attempt to squeeze sapphires out of the player.

Nobody is forcing you to play every day. It's always your choice. And Daily Loyalty Roll is not a basic game feature. It's an incentive for everyday players, but nothing more.

Just about every online/mmo game out there, reward or incentiive the player to log on daily to play the game. Knowing the more time they spend in and with the game they prone to spend rl cash on it (where it applies). Stormfall doesn't really offer such a incentive to do so. Our time is worth something to, and we can only spread it around so much you know.

That is ALonya's horrible attitude toward players that i was referring too in the post that was deleted.



deleting posts criticizing your attitude definately says something about your bad attitude.

What a brutal demonstration of power. She can and she does. Bad children should be punished! To learn what they could and what they should!

Pure fantasy like this game!

what you say is true, but no force you to convince me to a fantastic game, you have largely passed all bounds of human decency and human consideration of  

I AM 

and you work not only for me but thank to me

Please Plarium to take away any your social charge

This is perhaps the most poignant statement you have made to date.

Perhaps me and a few other will take you up on this.... this last update was complete waste on the time it takes to login.

Show me where in all this forum ANYONE asked for heroes or changes to header bar...

actually i suggested heroes however nothing from my suggestion made it to the update

i suggested a lot of features and content where you get to play it however what they delivered is a hero that effects your troops stats 

lol we already have dragon arts / obelisk / runes / lost arts to do what the hero does 

 sooooo

no real strategy no new game play but of course it is nice to have an avatar they didn't even bother to add special abilities no all you do is change its appearance and you have to pay sapphs to do that (after the free time)

I'm sure that this feature will be improved in the future. Thank you for your feedback.

What about people going on holiday? Other games like this offer also vacation (it means that you do not loose your paragon progress, other player cannot attack you, there is no progress in researching technique or earning res).

The game is about alts and how much time you have to play those alts. Also the new additions for the game are for people with no real world lives and need this game to feel they important on this planet. 


Yet in all... I love this game just watching everyone try to win a game that is unwinnable!!!! all the power to the old retired guys that spend their retirement in front of a computer and keeping the game from having a monthly subscription fees!  THANKS!

i was planning to invest my free sapphires in sketches for upgrade market and raid more resources

the number of alts grows exponentially (a number like plarium? + 1000% fast), all my zone is almost destroyed and i can not find resources on both castles, they raid also for only 10k.....


game unplayable in each side

Well, I've been playing since May 2015, and it's been fun but the game's gone  badly downhill in my opinion, especially in the past few months.


I wasn't too pleased that Plarium stopped the mega-payouts from the BGs.  They used to be a nice way to get ahead, and I had just started to figure them out when Plarium turned them into just another bottomless pit to throw one's troops for negative-sum returns.  Ok, so I stopped doing BGs, and even the Heroes aren't enough to entice me back to them, but that's not the end of the game.  


What really killed it for me though is that the game crashes constantly now since the last big round of changes that came along with the Heroes.  Stormfall is near-unplayable now, and far from being fun.  I've scaled back to maintenance mode.  I'm already using Chrome, and it's been less problematic with Stormfall than Firefox or IE, but even Chrome can't save the game for me now.


Even something as simple as running resource raids is painful, and doing something time-sensitive like actually battling other players is downright suicidal.  Trying to read, let alone reply to email is an exercise in rage, and chat isn't much better.  The chat and email widgets were some of the weaker links in the game before but now it's at a point where I have to compose even the most trivial message in Notepad then paste it into the game so I don't have to recompose it over and over again.  After trying to do or say something 2 or 3 times and having the game lock up each time, my attention tends to wander while I'm waiting for the next reload to other more rewarding things, like poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick.


For me at least, if Plarium doesn't fix Stormfall's progressively more abysmal browser-crashing performance, no amount of nifty new features are going to matter at all.
