Well I read that I had to put it in here. So here it is again. Btw I didn't check if somethings were allready declined because the link to the list didn't work.
Well I know that when I'm writing this there is probably no chance that anything will be done with it but hey if you don’t try it will definitely not happen. And well as everybody body knows Plarium is all about the money I’ll try to explain it in a way that would appeal to them.
But I had some idea’s for the game.
1 Better Map options
- I would like to see more scale wise options. At the moment you’ve got two scales, zoomed in close and the world map. I would like to see more scales in between so you can get a better understanding of your surroundings and can see if people moved their castle or new players entered your area.
- Why? Well so it is easier to find castles to attack and that way I and they lose more units and are more likely to spent more on the game for units and walls etc.
Passed to devs a few days ago.
2 In game forum
- Nowadays a lot of people use things like Teamspeak or 3rd party forums/chat rooms. I honestly find that idiotic and it really doesn’t help the game in anyway. Some people are more online in those sites then they do in game.
- Why? Well people are willing to pay more for things they like and if they have more fun on third party sites why should the pay for this game at all?.
- Why 2? Based on 2 facts.
1 A lot of people are already disgruntled and say you are money grabbers.
2 Most leagues have only a few coiners or none at all.
So if you are using something like Teamspeak then that program is the key to keeping the friendship, there you talk to each other and share things. And when one of those people start talking about another game and other members start trying it and like it better (and be honest that gets easier every time you guys introduce something new) they can just pack up and leave Stormfall. Because the thing that binds them is not this game but a third party program. That way you’ll definitely lose a lot of non coiners but also a couple of coiners. And when enough (smaller) leagues leave it does get less attractive for the bigger leagues with a lot of coiners.
We're planning to implement a chat on our game portal which gives you an opportunity to communicate while playing.
Not sure of the voice option though.
3 Make codes so you can go to specific information/location.
- When you want to share something, coordinates, a battle report, or something else just make specific codes that if used others just have to click on it to get there. This way you could also make it easier to share battle reports because this way we don’t need to use “again” a third party program.
Some options:
[player]Player name[/player] (Link to Player profile )
[ally]League name[/ally] (Link to League profile)
[coord](500|500)[/coord] (Link to castle with coordinates 500|500)
[report]12a3b4c567[/report] (Link to a report)
- Why? Well it just irritates me in a bad way. And again it makes it easier to attack/defend someone and people will lose more troops and are thus more likely to spend more money on the game.
Our devs have it in their long-term plans already.
4 Drop the hamlets
- The game is already laggy as …. So free up some server space with deleting the hamlets. After introducing the personal event Capture Hamlets/Defeat Rivals you killed every interest in the hamlets. Because when you siege one everyone that is about 10 hours away from your castle (so a lot of players) will attack it to gain 2 dragons and some resources. And it’s way too much work to attack every one that attacks your hamlet. So the hamlets became useless.
- Why? Well with a game that is a bit less laggy players will be a bit happier. And again the happier you are with something you are more likely to spent (more)money on it.
Hamlets will be improved.
5 Make it possible to put unused buildings in storage
- Sometimes I like to spent some time and money in making my castle a bit more beautiful. Adding some roads, or inner walls etc but with all the useless buildings around it just gets really crowded and ugly. So why not be able to put useless buildings in some kind of storage, not deleting it. As an example, there are 4 buildings on which you can click to produce units and let’s be honest, you’ll only use one of them. So put 3 away in storage and use only the one, this way you’ve created some space.
- Why? Well with that extra space you can place extra fortification or improvements which you can only buy with sapphires and this will put in more money in your pocket.
Also in plans. But it will look a bit differently.
6 Only give Eldritch units as a reward
- If I'm correctly you change a lot of the unit rewards to Demons and Warlocks because there were other "nice" rewards. But it had the effect that a lot of players stopped trying their best in those tournaments because the rewards are just not worth it. I can build those units quicker then what I can get as a reward so why would I participate in those tournaments. But I would gladly lose some of those Demons and Warlocks I build to gain some Eldritch Golums/Necro’s.
- Why? Again, people are willing to risk more units and are probably willing to put in some more money as well.
Unfortunately, our devs don't accept suggestions concerning rewards. They are calculated, balanced and considered by several teams according to their analytics data.
7 Some different things
- Make it possible to save letters and report that way they don’t get deleted over time.
Would there be a limit? Storing too many reports/letters would require additional space on server. But if they still fit the overall limit, then why not? How do you see this feature?
- When you are busy sending resources (not the maximum amount) and in the mean time units return, or arrive somewhere the amount always resets itself to the maximum amount. And if you didn’t notice it in time you will sent 40k instead of 20k (or something like that). Please fix it.
Needs to be tested and verified. Looks more like a bug to me. Could you please submit it to our Support Team so they could pass it to devs?
- Make it possible to make a welcome letter. When a new players joins your league he/she should automatically get a welcoming letter. So they immediately get all the needed info about the league like the rules and who to contact for certain things. That way they don’t have to wait for the person that is responsible for that to get online.
Accepted. Our devs will add such opportunity.
Well I know I forget a bunch of things but as I said before Plarium will (maybe) read it but will do nothing with it. Hey, that’s the first one I forgot, nr 8, listen to your players! Why? Well when they have the idea that Plarium listens to them maybe they’ll stay and spent more money on the game. But that’s it.
Sorry for the long text but it’s hard to try and persuade Plarium. And yes I know that there are a lot of topics with good ideas. But again, if you don't try it will definitely never happen.
Have fun all!
