New Directon

So let me get this right. Mechanics of the combat stays the same, recruits and bowmen stay the same (as now on life not as now on test), instead the epic adventure enemies are changed and loot is changed as well. Additional we are going to see adjustments to weapon production cycles and resources needed and changed times for training advanced units.

If I got this right... it means devs came to their senses after an overwhelming response from players. More carrot not stick. See? We can all get along... :) And since I was very vocal about the insanity of the "balance" and applying it to the whole game - let me also congratulate the devs on the expansion islands. Awesome work. Pvp will be tested and we will see how it works, but it seems like a very decent and well thought design. Congratz on this too.

I have to agree with this from what i have seen so far, and it is limited i am happy.

However i had the belief that the adventure loot would be "balanced" and perhaps meant no more weapons in loot. Again i thought was acceptable.

However here is the loot i got from an island of the pirates which was considered a resource adventure:

For that little, there's no point to that adventure then.

Good job on your new direction, BBs!

So they do one thing right and the next second they screw up another? Seriously? 200 exo planks from a resource adventure? *facepalm* yep. I hope they are still changing the loot, otherwise...one question: Who is the moron who approved this loot for IOTP? It is a RESOURCE adventure not XP adventure...God have mercy on those people, because the karma is gonna hit them so freaking hard...

lol, if IOTP (resource adv) gives 200 exo wood and (I assume) 200 granite, than how much the xp adventures will give? 15 exo wood and 15 granite?

This is the reason why people don't give you credit BB's...Are you OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MINDS? This is a 1/4 of what it was before? A fish deposit? Why don't you use it on the aquarium in your office...I just can't believe it...

I love the description in the loot "They donate their riches to you.." 200 wood, 600 tools, 400 fish and 55 settlers. This is not resource adventure. This is a robbery adventure. Robbing you of resources :)

I understand BB trying to change things, I get it. Take the nerf slider and slide it a bit, not all way down... There should be a law forcing game coders to play the game they design and not only look at the numbers. Sigh... Still would probably need a Commone sense 101 class in college anyway.

Looks like there might not be any adventures worth playing after this.

I will say current iotp has too high of rewards for a low level adventure, but since it's a 'resource' adventure with a fairly bad XP/Loss ratio, cutting it by like 75% is too much. You can make it less worth a 50 doing, but don't make it bad for a newer player who likely will be struggling for resources.

What is the typical drop for other adventures in testing now?

i like diretion better than directon but different stroks right?
