Fairly certain about that too, BB also knows the numbers of that guaranteed loot mechanic, haven't spilled any beans on that yet, thus me asking if we had people know their numbers so we could be able to narrow it down and eventually pinpoint it.Quote:
I have a sneaking suspicion that BB knows the numbers.
Um, not really sure what the counter-point here is here. So, the fact that the Expedition marshals now walk slowly is considered a 'negative' effect makes it less important than (in this case) the aforementioned 'Battle Frenzy' benefit?! So, that is interesting to me on several fronts: You assert that players are willfully plotting to expose some feature that affects less than 10% of all enemy camps and, at that for a period of 2 rounds?! Ludicrous. More ludicrous is the idea that players globally would now redesign their generals to 'take advantage' of the small amount of situations where this would actually benefit them; talk about wasting resources. Only the CoA, an Majors would really be able to benefit greatly in any case, so...Quote:

I'd assert that this new feature IS affecting the players ability to play the game. Of course, perhaps that is part of the plan? idk.Quote:
If it is not a game critical issue, i.e. actually prevents people from playing at all, they will address problems with the greatest impact.
Yeah, I haven't touched a colony in ages, and I enjoyed playing them before. I have a ton of weapons to use up still.
When I said "playing at all", I meant exactly that for a critical error. People are still able to log in and do everything else in the game. While slow moving marshals obviously make expeditions painful, it does not prevent people from logging into the game and performing other activities. The continuous feedback on how few people like the expeditions, assuming an accurate representation of player activity, makes fixing Expedition problems a lower priority as well. One indication of this the statement from BB_Alex in the AMA post, "The priority for this part of the game is quite low" (Question 44)
The rest of the post addressed why games would tend to address game issues that tend to have a positive effect on individual players before those that have negative effects. As for why Battle Frenzy was fixed first, it could have simply been a 'low hanging fruit' and a very simple fix. As far as people being willing to take advantage of the current/previous mechanics, the counterpoint is that the problem was both found and reported. Unless there are some people who are taking advantage of this mechanic, the fix is meaningless in player terms - but some people are concerned that the change will affect how people did distribute books.
lol - why do you even wast time with responding to this kind of drivel. Dude is like level 55 spouting like a know-it-all level 75 coiner or something. Usually brown-nosing for points with mods/bb. my advice, stop with the 'pvp' stuff. lol and quit feeding the trolls.Quote:

Question 44: Deano1978, US
Why is PVE/PVP not been redone? It is a waste of resources and still has a ton of issues.
BB_Alex: There are several fixes for the expedition feature which have been deployed over the past months, and we will continue to fix bugs. Besides that, we do not want to rework the whole feature, but to improve and update it at some point in the future. The priority for this part of the game is quite low, so we are not focusing on it at the moment.
- "It will be no longer possible to apply non-elite unit buffs on garrisons containing elite units."
What is a non-elite unit buff... or an elite unit buff for that matter?
Thank you. I was enjoining this thread (again) for that exact question. Looks like we are about to lose something, again. We got hosed, Davey.Quote:
