Yet again an update that is ill conceived and Poorly thought out. There are some discrepancies, such as; Dragon Stone Bonuses. We can use Dragon Hammers to reduce Building Construction time, yet we Can't use Dragon Hide etc to reduce Troop training time. Either Dragon Stone applies to Stoneheart or it doesn't, make your mind up.
The cost for an upgraded Craftsman is Extotionate, 15k Sapphires is Rediculous, total rip off.
We need more accessibility to Soul Stones. Adamantine is available in the Black Market at a reasonable cost, so why not Soul Stones. This would also help beginners starting out in the game. Soul Stones are far too few in the game. When they do appear, which is infrequently, there are too few of them.
This is an update for the wealthy players and is a total turn off for the regular players.
There are outstanding issues you should have resolved, before you launched yet another Money spinner. What about the outstanding issue of the Dragon Stone and what to do with Mana, when you have completed all the Dragon Stone levels. Killing Monsters in Dragon Stone is now Pointless, once one has completed all the Dragon Stone levels.
Sort out your outstanding issues, before launching more money grabbing ideas.
More thought needs to go into updates like these. Your developers need to heed the feedback on here, Most of which is Negative, although I very doubt that they actually care.
I get why you’re frustrated but also have to look at it from all angles before completely stomping it down. Dragon arts I agree now that I’m maxed they’re pointless to me but others still need to finish them and adding more boosts in there for players who maxed it will put smaller players at a higher disadvantage. They help with building times in Stoneheart which are a lot longer than in our original castles and that is worth it in itself. Training Stoneheart troops faster would also again disadvantage non spenders and new players. They aren’t meant to have a million on the first day. When we first started if I could come in the game and build I wouldn’t get anywhere if players were making troops 20x stronger than mine at triple the pace. This will put more effort and time into building a Stoneheart army. I agree the builder is expensive but if it wasn’t everyone would have 2, then building would be doubled in time again disadvantaging small players. If they let us use all 4, everything would be built in a couple weeks and that would be kind of boring. The scrolls set us at a pace that is equal to gaining them in a slower pace to be able to advance. It costs so much but balances the speeds to in developing still giving non spenders time to catch up and be able to play with older players. It will take time to adjust but in the long run i think it’s better than adding onto levels of old Lost arts and our other buildings. It is hard to get soulstones and they aren’t available to buy again getting people to participate to earn them to build more troops. Just try it with an open mind and not look at it as how fast can I complete it with money attitude and it might change your perspective :)
