The pretty 'pvp" castle

O yes, it's pretty and smexy and "uh I want this shiny thing..."

Before you get drugged on it go to test forums and check the feedback thread about "pvp" progression/ ranking.
According to the testers (and they are rarely wrong) it will take roughly a year of grind with the speed of one (1!) expedition a day(!) to get to the top.

If done even the training expedition you understand this will not happen unless you have about 5 more people pumping iron weapons for you and keep your barracks buffed up and busy all the time. O, and of course - not making a mistake causing you to lose battles :)

Happy grinding:) I can see the faces of your grandkids when you finally showed them your completed achievements:)

It takes a typical player like 2.5 to 3 years to get to lvl 50, so it's not like we aren't in a grind game as it is.

I do not have anything better to do.

Well, if you could get to PVP level 30 in three weeks, or even 3 months, what would be the point? I didn't get to level 50 for something like 2 years or more. Wasn't in any big hurry to get there. Nothing in this game moves very fast, so what?

grandkids? oh my! Then again 1 year goes by fast.

As I've heard of no further update in that regard....does the Watercastle at least have a use by now?

Mind you I will somewhat be playing them expeditions regardless, obviously not as much as adventures, nevermind the weapon bottleneck.

Apparently it is just a decor. Getting a population buff with it would be nice, then again players who don't play "pvp" wouldn't be happy about it.

Yea a population buff is crucial,

However 1 PVP island a day is a bit conservative, I regularily do 2-3. Remember it isn't a single player game, trading is your friend.

I like the way it's set up now. Those who wish to PvP can do so, those who don't want to bother can pump out PvP weapons to sell via TO. Looks like win-win to me:)

It's not that everyone wants to play, play, play to complete the latest feature. It's that human nature is geared towards wanting to do that and the business model here preys on human nature's weaknesses.

Has any of you had a problem with PvP glitch where you can not attack a camp?

Yep. Here's what I do to get around it whenever possible.

We'll call the camp you can't attack camp 1. First figure out what you need to take out camp 1.

Next find a camp you can attack near camp 1 that will allow camp 1 to intercept you. Call this camp 2. Figure out what you need to take out camp 2.

Load up 2 marshals with the needed troops. Be sure to check the path for each one so there's no nasty surprise interceptions.

Send the attack for camp 1 to camp 2. Follow up with the real attack on camp 2 immediately, with enough time between so camp 1 doesn't intercept the attack meant for camp 2.

That's it.

The other option is to just attack camp 2, let camp 1 intercept, then try to retreat before your marshal goes to camp 2. But this tends to fail more often than it works, at least for me. Also other camps in the area can intercept you, in other words, multiple interceptions. It's a mess. So the way I've described works the cleanest for me.

Hope this helps you.

Yea... looks awesome. I got to figure out a way around a glitch that doesn't allow me to do what I am supposed to do. That makes sense...

Freaking beta...Why crap like this goes to life? Like getting a car to test drive that has no reverse. Gaming industry is just awesome:)

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
