Update: new Shaman, Ghosts, runes, defense upgrade in the Valkyries' Citadel, and more



Added:

• New branch for upgrading warriors

Now you can improve troop defense in the Valkyries' Citadel.


• Shaman Raine the Wanderer

He specializes in Onslaughts, and capturing and defending Fortresses. Summon him in the Hall of Mysteries.




• 3 new Ghosts

The Helheim Warrior, Marsh Nixa, and Plague Raven will periodically appear on the Global Map.


• 12 runes 

By banishing the Helheim Warrior, Marsh Nixa, and Plague Raven, your Shaman will obtain the fragments of new runes. You will be able to create runes that give unique bonuses.


• Simplified Onslaught mechanics 

Now it's much easier to form Onslaughts. You don't need to reserve slots for participants anymore.


Other: 

• Changed battle reports: you can view the main stats of warriors who participated in the battle

• Changed boost mechanics when capturing and guarding Fortresses: you will receive corresponding bonuses only when the items are active

• Onslaught icon added to the Global Map screen

Seriously, this is too much now.


Try improving game play rather than adding more new stuff all the time, we need more diverse events to promote attacking, and also slow down shielding, you cant hit anyone unless you right next to them these days.

Yeah this is a little too much,


while its great with updates, why not improve game play? Millions of dead lvl 1 towns everywhere littering the map. Also, there should be a way to test your army (and certain gear) inside of your clan with your clan mates. Like a battle arena. And more events such as a mini CVC-r in between CVC and KVK, etc. The events have gotten boring and the prizes for winning (especially a CVC) are very insignificant at this point. The maps, just in general, as well as animations of marches, etc need huge upgrades too.

I strongly agree.

1. We need a place for testing!!!!!!!

2. 400M resources for a win in a cb? Are you kidding me? This should be 4B resources. At this point winning a cb is not a priority at all. Everyone is just trying to close the event points to get some gold, but trying to win is just not worth the spent resources.  

3. Please, please, please, do something with the animation of the marches, both for hero (we have different heroes, lets get different animations) and shaman and troops on a march.

I agree completely, get the basics right, make the game play better and stop the stupid errors like enemy towns being left in kingdoms after kvk events and running wild tile hitting.  I agree on the hard to hit anyone now too, the shortcut to shield was a mistake.  Shortcut everything else, but not to shielding.  Agree on the rewards for global competitions,  kvk gold mine are a joke!  Rss in cvc are also a hardly rewarding, more annoying as you have to immediately transfer it or switch chief.

Interesting reading about how players are winning 400m resources!  Must be cc players, my clan doesn't get rss rewards from any clan event or battles.  Our members keep coming and going, and only have about 20-25 active players at any time.  Yes, the game is very, very boring having to wait for anything and everything!


I agree whole-heartedly with all comments above...

I also submit that there should be various activities, to include games and contests, "within" the basic Viking game...games within the game.

I created an account just to comment on this thread. 


The new battle reports are a serious  DOWNGRADE. Everyone i have spoken to prefers the old reports.  If you do not revert back, i will be moving on to another game that doesn't downgrade itself, and actually upgrades with each update.


There are enough issues already to fix and improve, and all you have managed to do with this upgrade is add more crap we dont need, instead of improving events like cvc or adding a red event between cvc and kvk events. 


 Instead, you have successfully destroy one of the best features of them game- espianoge. 

You have made battle reports useless, and essentially destroyed players who specialize in scouting...the point of which is to gain detailed information about enemies. 


Go back to the old reports. As it is, i will not be spending another dime on this game. 


Sincerely,

About to quit.

what on earth has been done to the detailed battle reports, What is the point of scouting now, it is one of the most important game dynamics and without detailed information on enemy troops as well as your own troops how can you make an informed decision about if you should attack or not and if you do decide to go ahead with the attack or not what troop type should you use. If you do not revert the battle reports back to the way they were people will be quitting in droves you can count on that.

Just nuke them. Any inactive town for 4 weeks with under 1 million influence. Just make them gone. Be real nice to get rid of this guy.

Some positive criticism. The battle reports are useless like they have always been. just give up trying to improve them, 3 years down the line is enough to prove that it is beyond you. Spend your time and energy on other aspects of the game.

Hi,


now i can take a look to the new shamane.

I am right what I write before, you not need it!!!


I mean about 90-95% of all players not need them.

Main reason is in the most kingdoms are peace. Than in CVC or KVK the most pop holder have a shield or have not much troops in or let them free!


And the next is the Events where you can get talismane. Now one more what the most not need. For the most players are 3 or 4 shamane important the rest they not need!

And again why not neutral talismane? Oh sorry than you not earn money sorry Plarium!


And what I read here and read in the game please take this update back!

- Battle report is terrible.

- New shaman is pointless.

- And please  make possibility to reset Valkyries updates.

- And make some non payable features for casuals.

if you made only payable features, some hardcore players will pay.

or

if you will make free features, casuals will love the game, and they want to pay to become more powerful in lovely game.

i think the second version will provide more profit.

yet another horrible update, where do you guys come up with these ideas.

Major issue in the reports - now can't see reductions and other valuable info

Major issue on attack/reinforce screen - Can't preview troop stats anymore


Ive been playing for a few years now and really dislike the way this game has/is going, whats next new gear every month to make previous gear no good..... your already on that path. Stop making every update about how much money you can put in your pockets and fix the issues present and allow for actual proper growth with raising hero lv cap and adding in new researches that you don't have to buy items to do.

u really over done it now. 


get ur game working. 


get us some drops so we can actually build the bloody gear from last update. 


work on the unfairness in that game. and dont push another bloody shaman noone needs !!!


btw valkyrie suxx to hell -> because u give us 1 choice with that stage system. but guess what i've chosen wrong. i like cav but guess what in any event or any bank offer i get all shaman charms but elsa. npw that i have stage 1 cav in work i dont have elsa but i have ulf on stage 5 but never liked to have him. 



please talk to us and dont kill it completely.



bTW i have numbers that ur droprate SUXXX to hell. 


i used to get with another accout 12 rare attack runes with just 25-30 dead lvl6 ghosts, right now we not even get 1/10 of it. what the fuck. 

ur engery and shaman power inflation is completely nuts. (early adopters , Credit Card worriers got the ledge runes, and the rest is grinding like crazy for nothing but waisted time and money)

today i tried to get fine leather from vultere. !!! 2 perfect invader killer !!! 2 acc -> 1 ledge fine leather in 3 hours. 


is their any reason that some STUFF wont drop at all and other stuff LIKE Bloody Gems drop like hell. i could build a Highway thorugh our kingdom in ledge gems but i dont get the gear together to use the gems. please look into ur droprates. its just no need to overcomplecate things and have different drop rates for some stuff. 



btw. i know looooots of people the are trying to get basic material, it doesnt work anymore with the numbers u need for ur new gear. 

getting mat from tiles is completely useless !  u knwo what here are player that dont have a unlimited credit card but like to play the games as well !! so give us some LOVE or u can play ur game alone !

nothing to add here. REPAIR UR BLOODY GAME AND DONT ADD FEATUERS WE DONT NEED OR WONT EFFORD !


sorry for all that, but it needs to stop somwhere or u will lose  players that helped you grow that game.

I will join choir shooting down new update not because I like following herd, but because it's completely, utterly useless and makes game even less playable, than it was:


1. New battle reports are joke - attacking now is like eeni meeni miny mo childs rhyme, full surprise of result because I can't see enemies stats = big spenders upgrade

2. New shaman will wipe floors with all other shamans in their best suits = big spenders upgrade

3. New defense branch in Valkyrie's Citadel brings a bit balance to battle arythmetics, but before introducing third one with health it's not so great. AND you didn't improve VC boosts system - construction/learning reducers and speed-ups are still not affecting time, only clan help (which is better than nothing tbh)

4. People before me had pointed so many faults in this game, that it will be pointless to repeat it.

As a result you've got few hundred happy heavy spending jarls and ten-fifty- maybe hundred thousand small spending jarls, pissed off ready to leave. And I will tell you a secret - those small spending jarls got much bigger money pot, which you won't see, because they will go somewhere else. Not all of them of course, but more than you want. And your quaterly income will plummet again, and there's not going to be fat bonus cheques. 

Even a moron with a quarter of working braincells will recognise moment, where greed is pushed too far, where is time to listen to customers instead of forcing Plarium's favorite policy: RIP 'EM OFF.

I don't mind spending some money on a game, that is fun and fair to play. I understand, that you will have to make profit, it's a business at the end of the day. BUT if you will piss off your players too much they will go somwhere else, spending money in your competition's products. It's all about price-to-performance ratio - if there's shitty performance, there's nothing to pay for. And Vikings are performing worst and worst since they've been bought by Aussies. 

It's not first post/thread about VWoC going down the hill. And won't be last either, there will be more and more of them and sfter a while they will stop. You know why? Because players who are caring about this game will take their shovels and moulds and rakes and go to other sandpit.

If it was only about milk the cow the fastest, it will be not good but they are doing worse...


They are killing the cow and a dead cow cannot anymore give milk... for a short time plarium will enjoy the meat of the cow but once meat is gone, they will starve to dead...


It seem to me that plarium have no long term plan and that they only wish to kill the game...


Never before, a update have lead to so much complain of player, specialy about the new report... and yet, not a single reply from administrator in days... it is like they ignore the players...


Maybe players need to unite and go on strike... no more purchase at the bank and no more playing until plarium solve the main concern from these update... unite for hit them where it is painfull, their stream of income... we want our game back
