Feedback - Re-balancing of the old combat system / production / adventures

[omega_redux]

You made the steel weapons a little too fast. It should have been 18 minutes instead of 17 minutes and 20 seconds. Now it's going to be impossible to actually balance the system. Either you are going to producing excess steel bars that are now otherwise useless, or you will run at small negative unbuffed for the bars.

Sleep your steel smelter every so often or use them for making infantry, now they aren't useless are they?

Funky generals. I hit two camps in one go. After finishing the 2nd camp the general instead of coming back to his garrison... went on going somewhere north of the map. Just, taking a stroll... I don't even dare blocking anymore... I knew something was up when I saw a rubber duck in a garrison of one of the new generals...

I know on test people reported very weird generals behavior. Could some interns at BB take a look at it? Because more and more post are surfacing up about stuff the generals do.

Interns??

[Gwalben]

Despite the weirdness, I have only had a problem with one block, and I don't think that was the bugginess but rather lag.

Interns??

Did BB anywhere address the issue with Invasion of the Nords or are they just emulating the old German Chancellor Kohl, who was famous for sitting problems out till people get tired of talking about them?

Re-balancing of the odds to get a Frozen Manor in the Invasion of the Nords was not mentioned at all even in the patch notes. Not only that but when I purchased my gems they also had not announced the change of weapons as part of the loot. I am seriously considering calling my credit company and complaining of a miss-representation of what I was purchasing as the gems were purchased with the idea in mind that I could use them for premium time and for premium adventures to receive the loot the way it was represented at the time of my purchase. This is fraud in my mind and my credit company will back me for a full refund of the money I spent for the gems as they were represented at the time of purchase! And yes I am that mad about it that I am n=more than willing to go to court over it!

The changes were announced, but no detailed info was provided. Saying "some units in some adventures were re-balanced" doesn't give any real info. It could be much more useful to tell players to be careful with specific adventures because the guides are no longer valid. This should be in BOLD CAPTIONS on first page after the patch so nobody would miss it. Yes, players are annoying (from dev point of view) but all customers are. Providing solid info and lots of it is really saving countless whines later in the future.

Besides BK and RB are also "epic adventures" and they were not changed. Should have given a list of adventures that are changed instead of this "broad" layout. I would assume as programmers you guys know the value of detailed, accurate data... Just because there was a broad and wild discussion over the changes on test forums doesn't mean all players know what's going on.

i don't know, the game is changed so that its not so much "auto" now have to pay attention. I'm really bad at the pvp but trying to rise to the challenge. It would be kinda fun to know who you are taking the island from, and it's kind of cool to get loot even when you lose, or is that a glitch to be taken away? I'm not quitting because of all of this change, but boy did my isle change, now every day i have to adjust something, lol. i really wish we could have some more levels or some kind of way to add another island maybe? thanks for trying to make a positive change anyway. As you say it is a free game if you don't want to spend cash on it.

Did you consider class action suit?

Good points. However, BB will NEVER address this one as they have no leg to stand on, and the fact that they never really address specifics in any case.
