I have a bad feeling about this event guys n girls, so be careful what you post! They throw out a 1k gem reward to get players/guilds to reveal their best guides for adventures, and next thing you know they will use the guides against us to make it even harder to level up. Don't fall for it, and if you do, least wait until i reach lvl 50 plz :) It's obvious they are trying to get rid of blocking altogether.
BB_Katealyst, will this take effect during the next patch? Since blocking still seems to work at the moment.
Guess I'll be updating all the guides on cempire.org soon.
agreed!Quote:

I have to agree with a previous poster about being very careful what we post here. It has my spidey sense tingling. Why offer them the very tactics we have re-vamped after they went and changed the rules on us? We as a community have figured out a decent strategy for their adventures. Now they want us to tell them how we beat their latest and greatest "customer enhancement". Why? So they know what to change in the next patch? So they can re-write the adventures altogether?
I, like many of us, have tested a few variations and have worked around the new pathing issues. Will I post? Hell no!! I am biding my time to see what happens next? 20000 gem items, Completely screwed up our guides and maps. I've already stopped buying gems. I used to buy fairly regularly. Not anymore. I'm sure this is what they wanted. Anger the settled, high level veterans so we quit. Then there's not so many well informed players to worry about, they can change anything they want.
So... enjoy your guide making, re-vamp those maps. Maybe you'll get some gems. When your done, North Korea is looking for missile technology.
Well things like this is the reason why games die.
You change one important part of the game which interest players they will leave.
The blocks gave a challenge to the players something to twist there mind around, those players will not stay if you take that away from them.
I have seen games died for stupid reason.
Beside the blocks are a risk to use anyway if we fail the cost is very high.
I think players should have the freedom to decide how they want to play.
Do the double/triple blocks still work after the pathing changes?Quote:

I also agree with a few of the previous post about making the game boring, I mean taking away the 1 & only exciting aspect of the game is insane, if this is the way there going then my sister, friends & myself will simply stop playing, it wouldn't be the first time we've done this.
Basically, if they wanted to give the older players more a challange, why not just create new adventures???
I feel the only way to get you guys to listen is to post and pray for a miracle.
Take a poll of what players concerns are before you make drastic changes. Many players have invested hundreds of hours into this game between playing, forum posting, adventure guides and guild related activities. It's a slap in the face to such players when you take away a great strategy like blocking, and make this game less of a strategic game and more of a mindless farming game. I would hope player satisfaction is your number one priority, but have to say with all the recent Gem Items coming into play and contests with built in ways to purchase items, I wonder. I mean couldn't we just focus on the things that players want like, fewer glitches, being able to log in every time, less server lag, some sort of voluntary PvP and maybe an upgrade to a very elementary battle system?
You guys know that BBs stated goal is to eliminate blocking and by submitting guides with blocking, you may (likely are) helping them to eliminate blocking! Fortunately, I'm almost 50 now so it will have little impact on me when they eliminate blocking. But anyone else trying to level will have a much longer haul of it.
