I agree with Alvin I too have been playing for three years and I have spent money on the game that was designed with us being able to get weapons as loot. I am trying to play the PVP and the changed adventures and I really dislike it. Never has this game had such a drastic change or one that has been so disliked by the players.
I have only been playing since June of this year, but have enjoyed playing so much that I've progressed to level 49 this month. HOWEVER, I too have designed my island around getting weapons from loot in the adventures. I cannot afford to build wheelhouse, or cannon forge or carriage house. I don't have enough granite or exotic wood to make these shops and it takes so long to accumulate them that I will probably never have cannons ever again it seems. Anyway, I am so disappointed at this point, that I am thinking of quitting, entirely.
I have spent quite a lot of money on this game since June and right now wish I had not. Please bring back weapons in the loot. I did not ask for pvp nor do i wish to have it affect my game that I have enjoyed thus far. Again, I am so disappointed with these changes that I haven't even played since Tuesday and all my mines are collapsed and food is gone and I really don't care at this point to correct any of it.
I disagree with Alvin and any other person who wants the old loot system changed back to where we aquire weapons. However eliminating resources down to where the adventures aren't worth running I disagree with. the loot system does need to be changed to where they are worth running again.
Weapons as rewards in loot systems should have been removed years ago.
I am TrueHead and i approve of this message.Quote:

I still don't think it's worth bothering, only now people are going to be less inclined to want to sell them.
Negative, there will be players like me who will still sell them. But their value has increased since they are no longer in loot tables.Quote:

I have been slowly building the new weapons and troops using what I can develop and find on my island and I still don't have anything close to something I can go on an expedition with. I have been playing for three years so I do have some of the weapon shops to build the cannon and other advanced weapons with but not nearly what I use on adventures. I am for either balancing the resources with the changes in the game or giving back the weapons but make the game playable.
The biggest problem with the removal of weapons at this time is that it was long delayed and many people have based their game strategies on receiving more weapons, save bronze swords, than are ever used in adventures. The addition of premium rewards to the game exacerbated this imbalance. While the first 34 levels or so of the game emphasize the careful construction of production chains, once adventures start, the majority of this is ignored as very little of the production is necessary. Now that they are starting to rebalance the game, it seems many of the high level players are unable to figure out how to adjust to the requirement they continue to have an island as the source of production. It would seem that the several months of discussion about these changes was not enough warning that this was coming. While I have some doubts about the overall benefit of the current boost in production, for those who actually paid attention and made a minimum amount of preparation, it is providing a jump start to getting weapons from the production chains. While there is an increased drain in resources from this, the vast majority of the problem can be fixed with normal buffs, coincidentally something also mentioned as something that would be needed with making weapons.
The weapons should remain as loot on adventures.
Even when building them, the production times is long and inadequate to meet the requirements when building an army.
Upgrading buildings at higher levels require items you don't produce on the island (granite, etc)
Even then the quantity produced fails to sate the need.
Hence, my vote is to keep weapons as part of the adventure loot.
I agree wholeheartedly Alvin, they have treated players time and effort quite poorly.
I support the weapons as being part of the adventure's loot.
Even with good planning the production of weapons aren't enough to meet what we need.
Especially some of the adventures with high troop losses.
Please keep the weapons as part of the loot.
I second that motion
Yes, I agree.
And it will not matter.
Very true.
I have been a daily player for close to three years myself and I am dismayed at how unbalanced my island has become since the PVP has been introduced and the weapons taken out of the regular adventures. Weapons may have been too easy to get in the past but now they are almost impossible to get. I have little interest in the PVP part of the game however I believe that those that want to do it should get to. I don't think that the PVP part of the game should affect those of us with no interest in it. Please do something to fix this and make it more equitable across the board.
PVP doesn't have any relationship to the other part of the game other than the fact someone might want to dedicate iron to that aspect of the game. 0 effect on the rest of the game.
i agree with building weaps chains... BUT the loot should be worth the effort - a huge amount of ore etc... it should have been tripled in order make up for making them ourselves.
Lol, you guys ask for new content and changes to the game to keep you interested and when you get it all you do is complain. Adapt, improvise and overcome! (Ty Clint Eastwood)
Bring back the weapons and give us more island space...take away pvp
I do like the addition of PvP, but unless you know who you're attacking it's really just like another advent. Kind of defeats the point of PvP.
idk how anyone could like the addition of this pvp. is just a resource sink- your wasting more resources(and time) you put into pvp while the reward is pitiful and there is nothing worth getting in the expedition tab in gem shop, maybe a gem shop limited item be put in expedition tab for some incentive? idk.... it sucks.
Bring back the weapons in loot drops please
I was greatly disappointed in the loot from the only adv I have run since maintenance. Thanks to not being able to even get the game to load for 2 days and the insane lag I really haven't been able to run adv, but after seeing my loot, I'm glad, what a waste! I would really like to see weapons back, I planned my island based on how the came was played. I hit lvl 48 only a couple weeks before maintenance and have been trying to run advs that drop cannons since and now that is useless. With the current loot, it will take forever to get the granite to build the necessary change to being able to build cannons, really puts a damper on actually making it to 48. I am very disappointed with the game now.
the removal of weapons is about 3 yrs late. you have buildings that make them so go ahead and build them. it's not that hard to get a balanced island to where you make enough to support yourself in doing as many adventures as you want, ok grant it then you can't have a huge bread chain and make millions of pixels, so what.
The removal of weapons hit new players the hardest. Without extensive guild support all new players are facing a stall in their progression. Especially those who spend no or very little money on gems. Making your own Bronze swords/bows/cavalry is perhaps not such a pain, but once you start going into iron/steel production there is a huge choke point for upcoming players. The demanding requirements of resources, slow production cycles slows down terribly the game for players 26+. I have just talked to 2 of my lowbie guildies saying they are going to just hang around for a week while waiting on their lev 2-3 steel sword makers to make their SS for soldiers.
Once one of them found out about the cannon production cycle/resource demands he said he is not looking forward to this with current prices and loot. Given he had bad luck as well and got 3x salt on 3 BK advies (all loot spots offered by other guildies). Once again, mounting obstacles are making it hard for lowbies to progress. We are going to lose some people for sure.
hmm over 3 yrs??? may 2012- nov 2014 isn't over 3 yrs. but what do i know it has been a while since i was in schoolQuote:

But how are you going to keep new players interested if they can't advance in a reasonable time frame? +1 PlumzQuote:

Great improvement in making more of the epic buildings relevant, well done BB!
please dont return the weapons to the loot tables, i'm making a killing making them and selling in TO
I support the returning of Weapons to Loot !! !!
I don't care either way.
Please reply to show your support for returning weapons to adventure loot
NO !!!!
I've been playing for close to 3 years as well. Part of the attraction of doing some of these epic adventures and fairytale adventures is the possibility of getting weapons or harder to get resources (like titanium and granite) as loot. I do have a weapons chain, but can't afford to upgrade it past level 2 or 3 so I have adapted my playing style to do the adventures that might bring my sabres or cannons when I begin to run low on them. I've spent half of my gold coin buying these resources now in the TO. As a guild leader, I try to have a good number of all resources in case any of my guild friends needs something but I find that I'm running short on some of these items and I can't afford to buy them in the TO any longer. I buy gems regularly because I believe it is important to support the game that I enjoy playing, but I don't think that the purchase of gems should ever become mandatory to allow players to progress in this game,Quote:

Please bring back weapons in adventure loot. Some of us count on them as part of our adventure planning
My support as well, not that BB gives a **** about it. It's not like they didn't get a ton of negative feedback about this in the months of runup to it.
I don't think that negative feedback stops BB from introducing the changes they like, even if the are full of bugs.Quote:
