Dev Diary Update 11/20

[Draconus2004]

freely attacking cities is a pain. Anytime an account u spent 6 months on is destroyed, it sucks. No, i like how they are doing it. PvP optional.

[Leau]

This update is just sad.

If your island is all at lvl 5, you've got points to be 50+, and resources in storage overflowing, what are we to do now? The only thing we could do, is help others and store up xp. Now that's not going to be valid. Not only that, it's going to delete them, which means the resources will be lost too, if not accepted.

Same Here Carcator!

can't wait for the Recycling Factory. it will save like 20+ building licences.

Um you can only get one (1) Recycling Factory with presents.

[KeyMaster]

Totally agree with Anax_Basileus

If true, np plenty of other ways to get them. and anyway, i will still be able to save on pinewood production.

Switching to non-pvp mode would result in the loss of all captured and controled territory outside your home island. The main reason i like this game is because it is non-pvp. Going with pvp and rewarding ppl with extras that are not available to non-pvp ( peaceable players) gives the pvp'er an advantage in developement. Id prefer to not see the game go pvp but if you must you must.

Dident you see this?

Economic Adventures

This new type of adventure will feature challenges with little to no combat. Instead, they will contain difficult objectives for traders and economy buffs. Tightly balanced constraints such as starting resources, time limits, and limited building licenses will provide the challenge for these adventures. There will be rewards for the main goal, with bonus items attainable by completing optional side quests.

Yes, but that is also available to the PvP people. We want something that is available ONLY to those of us who are NON-PvP players. We want a NON-PvP place or SOMETHING (island, quests, adventures) for those of us who do not want to fight with others. We want a PsP (Players supportive of other Players) way to live peaceably and develop cool skills and features.

For example, if you have achieved Extra Compassion, your ability to attract settlers to your island improves. Or perhaps training settlers in the diplomatic center (a special building like the barracks) allows those settlers to visit the Foreign Exchange Island, where additional goods can be obtained via benevolent actions and trades. In other words, the PsP option would have in it rewards equivalent to those obtainable on PvP islands, but these rewards would be obtainable via benevolent actions instead of via fighting.

There are already PLENTY of fight-with-each-other games out there. Some of us want a game (or part of a game, at least) that caters to the encouragement of benevolent attitudes and actions.

[Ver-cheww]

I am very very happy with some of these ideas. Updated Combat System, Science System, Campaign System, and yes even PVP!!! And who could possibly forget the long anticipated "Star-Menu Filters" lol....FINALLY!! Very cool guys. I am eagerly awaiting these new features and hope to see them implemented ASAP.

As always, thanks for all your hard work

... are you reading what i said? LITTLE TO NO PvP WILL BE AVAILABLE, You wont lose anything on your real island. think of it this way, two players are fighting each other for coins. thats it. this is only another form of an Adventure you are doing. if you want no war ever, then (quoted from NOIDEA) "if its too intense try Farmville."

(ps if you want no PvP then try a game without solders. for you level 50's out there, you chose this game to play to the top. So, welcome to the updates. slightly upsetting, but hey, this game has solders, the only way you can level up is by fighting. PvP isn't really that big of a deal.)
