Hey guys i feel this is going to take forever getting anywhere when all players probably 40 at most are riding each shield out. With nobody to attack im just exploring the map. Without combat its getting dry
Hey there. There are currently 42 NPC bases to discover and fight on the exploration map. You could certainly try these while you're waiting for player's shields to drop. If you don't think that's enough then we can potentially add some more to the main fight list to keep things interesting.
The map isnt enough. All everyone is doing is upgrading resource production and collecting. There is no way to deal with mortars. Nobody has a chance against them without spells or a hero atm. Jist my 2 cents
Hi Karmartz. We've looked into this and agree on a lot of your points. We were originally going to add NPC Islands but felt that, passing them off as real players, felt a bit disingenuous. Hopefully by now, with more players in the game, you should have more Islands to fight. If this is not the case, and you're still getting problems, please let us know and we'll look into it further. We're also going to look at reducing the initial shield times so that starting players have less time before they can be attacked. Regarding mortars, we agree. They're too tough and we'll be tweaking these shortly. Also, we'll be looking to bring in the Brute at Level 1 of the Academy, rather than level 2. Thanks for the feedback. If you have any more, please get in touch.
Well i still feel like npcs are needed asap. I play/watch hahha alot during a day and about every 2 hours 1 new base will be available to attack. Its always the same 2 guys bases rotate of the shield. Plus i just finished my mortar to level 3 and im a god now. Nerf these bigtime before global launch. The fact we have no npcs really slows down the progress. I even bought max builders to support the game cause i think its fantastic however auto collecting of resource generators isnt excitement too me. I dont think bringing brutes to tier 1 will change anything. They need to be upgraded alot to do anything. You should increase the loot tables by at least 25%. When im spending 2k on troops and only get 3k on victory well you can see where im going with this. Some buildings cost way to much with the current loot problem. Say the voodoo is about 375k. Unless gemming nobody is going to get that building. In 2 hours bombers will be unlocked for me so ill see what kind of dmg i can put out to chamge the meta. Trust me when i say listen to my advice in clash games. I have end game bases in almost all of the best ones in the genre. I even play chinese ones without knowing how to speak chinese just to see their meta!
That's really useful stuff Karmartz! We'll start investigating the NPCs and will nerf those mortars asap. Feedback much appreciated.
Anytime man. Glad to help. Whenever i encounter new problems ill post on forums. You have any questions about the balance of anything? Feel free to ask about anything whenever.
My shield only just ran out today for the first time and as I'm a new player I've yet to experience any combat as I seem to generate more resources than I can actually spend so if I did attack they would go to waste. Anyway on topic I do really like the map and the different things on it and I am wondering if monsters and based re appear eventually or once they are gone they are gone? Finally wondering if you could enlighten me on to how the battle matching system works for who can target and attack me?
With the small pool of players everyones points is irrelevent at the time being. Its just whoever plays that can be attacked. Once global launch happens this will change. The monsters respawn at times fyi. Be careful when you send you ship far away sometimes u can see a silouhette of a monster before you click set sail. Join 7 kingdoms and ill be happy to answer all your questions
Building a guild hall right now and I did write it in another post already as you did extra npc fights ect would need better rewards than they currently give as mostly so far for me I might as well sail around rather than attack these things due to troop losses. I did say mainly there and not always.
Yeah attacking players is pointless. I get 5-8 k a battle. If things are 500k then the only way to progress is paying. Loot tables need tweaking and add npcs or ill lost interest fast.
Don't forget the game is in beta still. I haven't gotten far enough to see how tough it gets to be able to afford things yet. What kind of income are you on for your resources?
Hey, guys. Just to let you know that we're currently looking into the average loot that can be won from fights vs cost to attack. Also looking into the NPC fights.
Sorry that it's the wrong place but since we are on the topic. Just logged in after sleeping and I've been attacked about 11 times in 4 hours it did say I was on pirate rank 179 but randomly it just changed on it's own to 149? Anyway my main concern is how can I be attacked 11 times in 4 hours by a few different players yet still be given no shield? They didn't destroy enough base to win I believe but then still stole all my resources. The main attacker also has 1700 odd BP which seems very high considering he probably deliberately didn't win any battle to keep my shield down.
