C'mon, really. I have to deploy in the LZ sector now.
Please fix so I can deploy into my captured sectors again. Island of the Pirates is almost unplayable.
STUPID!!
C'mon guys, stop messing up the game. Stop trying to outsmart us and start catering to your players for once.
Y'er developers are acting like a bunch of childish, vindictive jerks.
I also agree with this.
I do like where the taggers land on IOTP!!

This is not an official communication from anyone.
Essentially, what seems to be happening is that the developers have a vision for what they would like to see. One of those things was to have people working together to complete adventures. The number of troop required was raised to encourage people to share losses; this failed to take into account that higher level players have more access than ever to larger populations. This left the players with adventures where one person takes tremendous losses for a comparably laughable amount of loot, while others get an equal reward for essentially nothing in terms of the adventure.
The next step was to require cooperation from players and prevent them from doing more than their share of the adventure. In order to do this, players had to be geographically separated from other sections, to prevent the same thing from happening with co-op adventures as typically happens in the traditional multi-player adventures. This required a change in the way that generals arrive at the adventure islands for all of the adventures, as the basic coding for the adventures did not change. Unfortunately, it is likely that allowing generals to land outside the predetermined spots would allow players to place their camps in open locations in other branches of the island, which would defeat the purpose of separate zones. It is actually an intelligent solution to control this with an otherwise limited amount of overall control.
However, the conflict between the intent of the developers and the playing style of players is evident. Rather than correct the basic error that was made in allocating rewards that has lead to the general style of play that was not envisioned by the developers, they are adding additional content with specific rewards to force players to conform to their conception of the adventures. Unfortunately, because the system does not appear to be originally designed to in this manner, the adjustments needed tend to propagate in other ways that could not be seen except by playing the game.
Very enlightening response Aurboth. It seems to me that the developers, after 3 years of work on this game alone, and who knows how long on other games, that they would get the idea by now that players have their own preferences on how they want to play. So we use it differently than they intended. So freaking what!!! It works for us. And we have fun with it. Instead of trying to force us to conform, sometimes the glitches actually *become the game. There are numerous instances of successful games that started out with glitches that became major features.
How many people have to leave, or stop buying gems, before they realize they should listen to their customers???
Listen to customers? What a novel approach.
