This is a sure sign the game is slowly dying. It's unfortunate that you just can't expand the game with just resource costs. When it becomes a money grab at every single corner, you know things are slowing down.
Hint: I spent more Drachmas buying resource packs at the current discounted price than when they were regular price and more drachmas on them then troop revival and champion units. Why? because it's the only thing in this game that is at a reasonable cost! When the cost makes sense, more people spend.
I'm a realistic business man and I do understand that Plarium needs to turn a profit in order to build more servers, support customers, etc... If there were no coiners, there would be no game...
With that been said, I do think the sketches pricing is high and hope you will think about think about reducing it, as to make it attractive for low cost spenders... I think there would be a more positive response from players.
I do like the additional items you can purchase with GPs, which is a plus. Keep that going.
I've no doubt these will be brought into pvp, so the players with 1000's of spare gps have something fresh to aim for.
Hi everyone,
like most of you, i do not like the improvements from the recent changes as well.
In free to play games, those who like to invest some money should not have too much advantages apart from those who do not. Otherwise this scheme will not work at all.
Upgrading building which new currency? Maybe acceptable. 20% boost to offence and defence? Definitly not!
What i would like more is for example much complex scheme of achievements with rewards. This will ensure that those in both early-game and in end-game will have something to pursue and they will keep playing as long as it takes. These changes will only encourage people to quit!
I agree these upgrades should not need to take money, this game is turning out to be a game where only for the rich. I have no problems putting a little money in to a game here and there but your stuff takes too much money for the average person. If you are true about taking suggestions than i suggest changing the upgrades to be purchase with GPs that way those who play the game the most will be reworded not just those who have the biggest wallet.
money,money,for poor plarium,go guys to put many money in plarium pocket,why this sketches is not free?
i have for you good ideea for easy money :
1. upgrade defense tower lv 5 to 2 k = 100 $
2. sold pantheon lv 5 full deff = 1000 $
3. all trops time buildig 1 min = 200 $
4. offensive phalanx to 3 k = 200 $
5. defensive phalanx to 2 k = 200 $
6. cavalery offensive to 10 k = 500 $
7. defensive cavalery to 8 k = 500 $
8. all suply product to 500 k per hours = 400 $
9. persan battle to 1 sec = 50 $
10. all travel time galley or trops to 10 sec = 300 $
oh well....
the plarium credit card slaughter continues....
i decided to do 1 building upgrade.., just to try...
1 to see if the tournament rewards makes sense... and...
2 to see the building cost..
well.., i never finished it...
i did 2 levels and 10000 drachmas gone.., plus speed ups...
wow!!.....
that's just crazy....
and wait... the great news is...
i get rewarded with 15 peltasts.... after spending 15 000 drachmas...
surely everyone must see the huge benefits in this....
NOT!!!!!...
what a waste of money this game has become....
and it keeps getting worse....
congratulations.... the powers that be.... geniuses..., that will kill off this game...
maybe a lot sooner than they think...
any of the GOOD games have 2 main characteristics...
A a good strategy to make for challenging game play.. with or without cash...,
B a balance between coiners and players not coining or coining a little with loads of time to play...( where the coiners always have an edge...)
cause they coin... and keep the game costs and profits covered..
here if you not a coiner.., you got no chance...
and the strategy of the game is... coin.... to win...
non coiners will leave.... and soon after... the coiners....
cause believe me... doing this for 20 years of internet games..,
non coiners stop playing..., soon after the coiners go...
good luck Plarium...!!...
