I hope you are wrong because many leagues still work hard to defend Beacons. Diplomacy and strategy are required even more now that hammers can remove most Beacons and Fortresses if they tried. Some would be more expensive than others. Many of us have worked for a long time to secure and defend Beacons and get our Fortresses upgraded.

i think that might be a losing strategy. you cant have diplo with everyone, 

look at your league  for example. 

youare allied black rose so they dont take your beacons. 

but eventtually, we will take those beacons from you for being allied with black rose. 

if you break off your ties with black rose, they will take your beacons.

so you see, it doesnt matter the hard work youve put into them, youre going to lose them and all the defense inside them.  its inevitable when stuck between two hammer leagues.  

  you guys would be wise to dump your beacons and defend your fortress. 

Completely wrong for Server 3. My league has 6 of them. We have defended them from any and all serious attacks. Why? There are no 1 billion+ hammers on server 3. Even if there was we could kill it with the right troop shuffling. It seems most players strive for a big hammer. On server 3 (with some leagues), a big defensive wall is more important and desirable. There are also smaller leagues with one or two beacons that don't get hit. Why? The bigger players recognize the importance of diversity and balance for a healthy realm. Sure some level 5 beacons go down from time to time, but not without reason.

Q- Are beacons Dead aspect of the game?  

A- YES & No

This all depends on your leagues objective and Server.  

As for Server 3 give them 6 more months to catch up to where Server 1 & 2. For now beacons are Fine.

For Server 1 and 2.  

Beacons only reason of being now - 1) Darkening troops

                                                          2) Leveling your Forts

Level 1 beacons are the new castles to attack; & only for P v P. ( Zero point in attacking a castle with level 10 walls )

With 3 servers and all the new players going to server 3 its become frustrating for people on servers 1 & 2.

I bin thinking for some time that the server needs to enter a NEW Age

and Love to see all 3 servers end up as Contents Fighting for new World or Content.

I know its a Crazy idea.

Lets think of it.  Whats left to do and Fight for on server 1 & 2. Besides being the last league playing the game?

Nuff said?

These was server 3 before the transfer these are corner beacons that I believe are now taken by KT S3

I honestly think things haven't changed much in S3.

The new look of server 2 or at east part of it. Beacons are still important but with a Beacon Massacre coming up, who knows what it will look like this weekend.

Untamed is a disaster area, and will get a lot worse when Putin returns :)

Yeah, nothing has changed since then. 

KT S3 doesn't have any beacons. KT S3 has never taken down a level 5 beacon or upgraded/held a level 5 beacon.

You really know your stuff.

server 3 was created here because plarium folded the kabaam server for inactivity. i saw the beacon map before it was folded.  they were almost all undefended.

Yes, some beacons belong to Balur. The level 5 league beacons are defended. Leagues don't spread defense thin is all. Smart play. Server three seems to be growing fast now.

thats kinda my point.... almost any beacon can be taken at will. 

most of the beacons on server 2 can be knocked over with a sneeze.

I do like the idea of an eventual merger of the servers where the new map starts off with each server as it's own continent.

Beacons are still very relevant; how leagues use/ interact with beacons have changed.

today i notice several more undefended beacons held by balur. 

On S3 it takes a lot more than just a "sneeze" to knock the majority of them down.

judging by all the beacons that have fallen on s2.....

only 1 remaining heavily defended beacon is left, and i dont think it'll survive the night. 

Even the coveted corner beacons (which should, in theory, be the heaviest defended) have fallen today. 

We've had our pick of beacons during this massacre. and of course, we are only after Pvp points. we arent keeping them.

You had your pick of Beacons then why did it take 6 leagues to take down 1 corner Beacon?

There were no pvp points this time - no pvp tournaments so nobody gets ANY rewards

Even League achievements are switched off so you get NOTHING for downgrading a level 5 beacon

Everyone loses 10% permanently, some are crazy enough to spend sapphires reviving units DURING the Massacre

More Beacon Destruction immediately after Massacre

They even have the nerve to call it a 'Conquest' tournament, but it has nothing to do with conquest
There are no tournament points for conquering, downgrading or upgrading beacons, only for killing defense units

This is just another pvp tournament with a fancy name

Beacons are pvp targets. They now have no other purpose in the game
but they are very bad pvp targets because tournament points are only given based on the power point value of units killed, which is much more difficult than hitting a Hamlet or badly fortified castle.
These tournament points are not the same as normal pvp points.

So why do intelligent players not ignore this stupid tournament?

They need 2000 points just to get 5 sapphires   http://prntscr.com/gftdrm

We only need 10 pvp points in normal tournaments to get 5 sapphires
