Staples please do find a new thread, your despicable face is 34 Pages or so into this mess.
I think that at the very least you as Evony need to compensate the players who lost thier Royals that they had gone out of there way to capture.
You NEVER informed us this was a bug or "glitch" so how were we to know? Evony you've crossed a line, yet again.
People earned extra queens/kings by taking HC's inactives or not, they are killing their own troops to get them. Then if they are not level 100, they are spending more troops to level them up.
On newer AGE2 servers you can steal any city not just HC's so a queen/king can be captured by taking any player city and that seems fair. Imagine the general of an Army having infinite loyalty at all times ok that might happen. Now conquer and control the entire city and/or empire the "general"(royals) were with and well now they are loyal to YOU. NO glitch involved here as that is how it should be! I have a Royal at risk just like everyone else on all the servers and I am OK with it being at risk.
This was a bit irksome, yes. Consistently, it seems, the most 'powerful' of the royals were taken, regardless which was a player's original. (if they still had their original...)
Royals with the excal applied were taken, often times leaving a royal which did not have any enhancements as the single remaining. In my case, the royal which I had redistributed and trained up to be a political hero was left to me while the ones trained up in attack were taken.
I don't like to be suspicious. Its not in my nature. But I have to admit, after casual surveying of many players, it seems like the royals who had enhancements applied were targeted for removal. I'd be curious to know by what criteria Evony programmers made their selections. It seems less and less likely that it was a random happenstance that had so many royals seized which were equipped with purchased enhancement.
Is it honestly just an absurd coincidence?
please do not try to inform me on how the game works. you are just another example of someone having a vent in this thread.
its also funny how everyone is saying they could do this from day 1 of age2, when in actual fact capping royals was a very little known fact and was not wide spread knowledge until months and months later....just another case of people jumping on the bandwagon.
i suggest this thread gets closed, it has served its purpose.
WAY to late, you dont keep us informed , tell us your ideas or fix bugs that infuriate people. People are just quitting or is that your idea of an end game?
It really is a case of when will you guys learn. If i walked into a bank and said i had an idea to make money but i'm not telling you i just need you to trust me what do you think the bank would reply with.
Thats what evony i doing and a lot of people on all age2 servers have decided enoughs enough. Its ludicrous you deleted these royals without already having the fix in place to reinstate the stolen ones.
"This bug was around for a long time, but I think its clear from the way you had to capture a city and then wait for maintenance that this is not the normal method for capturing heroes, and that it is a bug."
This is a quote from a Dawnseeker post in another thread.
When I colonize a player and sow discord in the city, I have to wait until after maintenance to "capture" and see the hero in my city. So to someone who does this on a regular basis, the method to capture the extra royals seems reasonable.
