I actually like the update for 80%. Since long there is now much more incentive to fight in KVK's, and the points awarded for killing invaders are reduced. The new update also creates some incentives for the middleman, which I can only cheer for as a clanleader. This might actually be the first update I really like. I'm not fond at all of the domain guard though. I would have preferred saboteurs who would cut the shieldtime in half but I think we can't get everything we want...
However there are some minor issues as well:
- The new update seems to have the effect that I can't use the enterbutton while typing clanmails. It gives the impression that clanmails are now typed by an illiterate-sod-off-with-the-interpunction-type of player... I truly hope that this in particular will be fixed in the future and won't be announced as an update or a new feature you can purchase with gold.
- Lag seems to have increased also quite a bit, which is regrettable.
But apart from this I do like the new direction and I hope they keep going that way.
So what's going on? Now I can load the game but it loads a new game in a new kingdom from the start. I can't find a way to get back to my old kingdom anymore. Tried launching the game with IE as well but same result there as in Chrome. I have logged out, logged in, restarted my PC and still no luck. Anyone who have the same problems as me with a new kingdom launching?
My shield is gone by now so I guess someone raked my rss as well killed of my troops. Looking forward to be refunded in that...
Have anyone got any response at all from someone from Plarium in this?
