[Feedback] Sneak Peek Two New Buildings

Dear Settlers,

The Sneak Peek for Training Grounds was just published and we can't wait to hear your initial impressions and overall feedback.

Thank you,

its a sink for gems
recruitment speed is already too fast, we've 500% buffs, rgs and meadhalls

True +1

wouldnt by the reg barracks but would definitely by the ebarracks one. (note i'm no where near making 500% buffs etc)

Not every one has those options -- especially lower level players attempting to level up and having to wait to play and adventure because they do not have a huge population buffer, fast troop cooking capability (e.g. level six barracks), and/or 500% buffage...

8K gems seems a bit steep for me for just 50%. At that level, it would take buying 4 of them for over 30K gems just to speed it up to rate of a permanent skunk, and would I pay 30K for that? Definitely not since I can just use skunks. But if it were 8K for a 100% boost, I might be enticed to pick up a least one copy of the elite version. That's just me though.

Side note, the spoiler screenshots are showing 200%, which would require 2 of each Training Ground.

On a related note, the Test Server does not indicate a limit to the number of these that can be purchased. It is indeed a

I don't do adv fast enough to need the boost and there is no room for all these buff buildings. We need stacking.

To be fair, they did just add 4 islands to the Arch for just this reason.

I like it! I think the price is fair for the effect it has on the elite barracks. I could get 2 for less than the price of an endless copper mine for crying out loud.

Maybe at half the price, but certainly not 4k/8k for +50%. That's nuts. Those prices should be tied to at least +100%.

for those who spend alot of time running adv and can't build troops fast it great when will we see this in the game

We hope to get this into the game as soon as we can. We are currently working on it on the Test server. When I have more information as to when it will come, I will be sure to post about it.

Keep in mind that these are passive, always on buffs - not a building that you need to select a buff, click it on, then manage a cooldown. That makes these significantly more powerful than the currently existing means of speeding up the cooking of troops. Also, these buildings are more of a luxury item than a necessity for game play - if you have the island space and the gems to spare, you get a cool benefit...if not, then you keep playing the game as you have been :)

They are expensive...but I think they are meant to be.

I agree, not everybody has the luxury of getting/running expensive buffs. I think it's definitely worth it for lower levels that are just getting into ali's. I really don't understand what people complain about. Isn't there a option not to buy it???

These are perma buff- basically its on all the time. Thus, reducing the need for buying special buffs and applying it all the time if you're happy with the recruitment rate increase it offers. actual buffs can just help speed things along a bit.

This could have been added as a premium feature. I don't have premium and I'm not planning to buy it.

Just be careful! Don't want to make the giant mad.

-BB_Odhran

thanks do we know what the limit on these if there is one yet

The ones we can by for beanstalks is limited to 1 of each. The gem ones, so far, are unlimited, but it would seem like there should be a limit on those as well, to maintain the general "peace of the realm", so to speak.
