lol, and loose the resources to refuge instead , genious

As I've said earlier I believe the gates won't open in any circumstance.
And even then, try keeping your cities at loy 5 and watch everything riot away.
Defending is you kill the incoming waves. I'll ask again. How do you kill these aforementioned waves with gates closed.
I play A2 so no refuge
FU, i want my gates open to FIGHT :duh::dizzy:
How many 1k+ hereos are gonna be lost over this? how many will be refunded because being spammed by 1-8 players at 1-1.4 miles every 5 seconds is undefendable with gates cLOSED..
seriously, wtf goes on on your guys servers??
This is assinine and i hope its a mis-mail
Just some more talking around to avoid answering the question. Which apparently you can't, yet you claimed it wouldn't be a problem. You said peeps just needed to rethink defence.
Okay, I'll admit I'm not a good thinker in the hopes that you will finally answer my question. Not getting my hopes up though.
@Don
well i was talking about the players with low prestige or troops.
they could pay $60 to get the city of the top players :D imagine lvl 10 barracks :P
so 30k prest guys buys a 60$ package nd gets a city from a 3.5M prest guy lol.. :)))))
Still waiting for a reply on whether or not the player who had the devil buffs applied to gets any warning or not
well i can be more direct if u need and even draw u a picture doeran
it is stupid to stay around and getting u self plunded , if i cant win i move , if i cant win i dont open my gates , and no i dont open my gate just to prove how mancho i am .... defending (doeran way)...
and actually i enjoy plundering and killing players who play as u seem to do, as it is easier then farming npc for ress
zhay
ps what server are u on ?- do u even play this game
5 hours of someone hitting you while they force your gates to stay closed, will carry the oomf to 'take you out' and your kidding yourself if you think otherwise...also you said these items are not much different from other items offered on age 1...not true...what item do we have on age 1 that forces gates open or closed....none,nada,zilch....so a bit of untruth there dave
wow u guys are freaking out lol its mild change that last for a few days lol i would think that we all could embrace a little change ffs i think news things help out i mean come on u all are being way to hard on evony for jsut trying to give us a little fun come on! lay off a bit go cry somewhere else
So the only fix to broken gates is to acquire and use the broken gate strat which is "random to acquire it and uncommon." ?
It's not like players are coining to get this strat and waiting for you to go to sleep, no I don't think anyone who holds Atlantis would disagree with that statement.
I think evony should review their logs to see how many active players they have before this promo and how many remain afterward. This broken gate strat is likely to have a lasting effect even if the promo is only a week long. Personally, I'll continue to play but I can guarantee you I won't spend another red cent on this game for a long time to come.
but whats ur alliance going to do after they hit with millions of trans they cant reing u b/c ur gates are closed :duh:
and what are u spose to do when u wake up ur war city is zeroed no food or gold so ur armies refuges and heroes run off and even if someone in ur alliance is able to get in touch with u by phone, skype or how ever they can and u log on and cant even defend and out all the ones attacking u they poisoned ur heroes so u cant even build walls. so if i had a 826 pol hero but if thats with welth would only be 661 it would become 595 and be 743 with wealth so i no longer would even have instant ATs so i could not even try to kill troops by putting up ATs if my gates are forced closed.
Fleet Feet x2
Using this item on another player will increase the marching speed of their troops by 30% for 4 hours. This item can stack up to 3 times.
Endurance of the Immortals x3
Using this item on another player will increase their troops’ hit points by 5% for 12 hours. This item can stack up to 3 times.
Alchemist’s Amplifier x3
Using this item on another player will increase the stats of all their heroes by 15% for 1 hour. This item can stack up to 3 times.
also i have to use them on another player just spent $30 on it and i cant even use it on my self wtf. what if no one else in u alliance buys or have allready bought and i no one to trade with b/c i would not sure about someone else and im sure most people are the same way if they spend money on something they would like to use on them selves now i would have to send to someone else and hope they send one back. its not like a vesta would be u get one them for buying and if they don't send back its not that big of a deal. but if i send someone a amplifier i sure as hell would want one back
im not saying all the items are bad but i don't think someone else should be able to control ur gates. iv worked really hard to build up the supplies i have i would not like someone being able to close my gates and clean me out. and me not being able to do anything. so i could truce/holiday but that really would do much if they are sending 2 mil trans(20 bil worth of supplies) at me. so all that could really be done it port and if its not ur war city and is a main city(that most set up with a average 5+mile 10field) giving to a red
I'm sorry, I realise I've only been playing for just under 3years, I must have missed these items you're speaking of davemata
Please.... explain to me what item in Age1 allows a person control of another player's troop marching time? Or the gate control? Or their population growth?
OR ANY F'N THING?!
Realism is not just for art dave, look it up
Just out of curiosity does evony believe that these items will increase or decrease the amount of rule breaking (account/log sharing for example)
Instead of posting a rant about how dumb it is to have these items on age1 I've got a few questions if we gotta deal with it
1. If an enemy debuffs you using a devil package do you get a notification?
2. Does Endurance of the Immortals increase the BASE attack of units by 5% or the total output dmg by 5% (including techs, hero)
3. Wtf is the poing of Opportunist’s Plague? Not enuf useless items already?
4. Just to confirm Angel buffs apply to the account, Devil debuffs apply to the specific city?
Another question that has been asked but I havent seen answered is : once purchased how long does the person have to use the items? does it quit on the 26th? or can they save them up and use them in 6 months or a year or whenever they want?
I'll add my voice in disagreeing with this as a good addition to the already glitch laden game. In no way does this benefit anyone but the ones prepared to spend big money. I know it works both ways, but there are a lot of people who cant afford to buy a package in order to counteract one of these. There are also a lot of people who are without ports or truces and dont have the money to purchase them- believe it or not, they dont always appear when you hit npcs or valleys. So because these players have fallen in love with a "forever free game" and are proud of their accomplishments on the game, have grown attached to their alliance members ,they are now being punished.
Once again, I'm disappointed in the thought processes of the game developers. I've played this game since June 09, I'm a moderate coiner but it just keeps getting more and more frustrating over how the players are treated. Without us, Evony wouldnt be filling their pockets. I understand without Evony we wouldnt have this particular game either, but there are plenty of similar games out there that treat their players with more respect.
If players keep quitting like they are, your cash cow will dry up, and that leaves all of us in the same boat - as if we were actually equals. How about that? I know, ranting and getting angry isnt going to change this. It just feels good to think maybe someone might read our protests and reconsider. I won't, however, hold my breath.
I seriously dont get you people, whine when evony does nothing and ask them to introduce new content, then when they do? you guessed it, lets whine some more...
Im guessing most of the peeps doing the whining in here are the ones that sit there and farm, then close their gates when they get attacked. Well I suppose you have every right to whine, because now the people that are sick and tired of trying to fight you are now going to force you play!!
I personally really like this, some new content to play with that is going to mix things up a bit. The only thing Im going to complain about is I want to be able to buy the broken gates in the shop, I see myself wanting to use this alot with the number of turtles playing the game these days.
whats next? a item that lets you bring another player out of holiday without their knowledge?
For 1 hour, target player cannot Truce.
Yee-haw
:)
So the more this has devloped you guys may hate me but ive switched sides on this and i dont care what you guys think many factors play into this item system.
1. you only get one of the three and the chances you get the one that you want or that you guys dont want used against you is slim (gates forced closed or opened)
2. How many people are gonna buy multiple ones to the point that they spend 200 dollars to get 5 or what not (clairfy this evony team if it is you get all 5 hrs of closed gates if you spend 30$)
3. This deal is only 5 days long so all this wont last long and not as many people will get it as you may think
In reality not everyone can spend money on a whim...and we ARE still in a recession regardless of what politicians claim to get elected...so id rather feed my family than spend money on a game just to keep a virtual city... Evony may want to think about that since they sprung this out of nowhere *shrugs*
Definitely a generalization. I've never once whined for evony to get new content. When I see an injustice done to small players, then yeah, I'll say something. Whining? no, just stating things as I see it.Quote:

Sort of proves my point - the advantage is for the coiner. Don't get me wrong, I coin. But I also know a lot of people who can't, and it's those players this is going to hurt the most.Quote:

I also understand that its a business. I also know I have a choice to go elsewhere. But, I love Evony, I've been hooked since the first day I've played. I dont like all of the changes that have taken place the past 3 years, but I still think the game is a good one.
That doesnt mean I think the Evony corporation are infallible. I think they need to learn a little bit about public relations. I also believe that honest input, whether its negative or positive, is invaluable for any business. How else will they know what their customers think?
So, you can enjoy the changes, I'm glad you do. And I'm fairly certain there are hundreds who think the same. But please, respect those of us who don't enjoy them and give us our right to state our thoughts without being criticized for having them.
it concerns me that couple questions havent been answered. 1. will gates open at 5 loyalty? if not what happens to troops in city? 2. will players receive notice that their gates are locked? is there a cooldown between the hrs gates are locked?
omg lol now z u know im going to use all these new items on u too :P lol i cat wait lol again congrats tho evony on finally doing some new ! about time keep it coming everyone is crying but who cares changes are good and as u stated these arent forever so we should all enjoy a bit of fresh air try it out etc zwei i cant wait to use the gate one on u LOL ur freaking dead jsut like darkninja u better be ready ;)
The (sad for Evony) truth is, this is all much adu about nothing.
Our server has so little activity that nobody in my alliance, which is ranked No 1 if that actually means anything, has been enticed to buy such a dumb package yet today. And thats rare - we are definately what you guys refer to as coiners.
Has anyone here any actual first hand knowledge of someone using this stupid gate control buff?
If so, I'd like to hear how well it worked - all I can see is whoever gets this put on them trucing and bamm - the buff has been wasted.
If you are going to shed tears about this, save them for the developer who came up with this brilliant plan lol - he or she will need them when they explain to their bosses why the idea failed so badly.
The ultimate proof that this is a non-issue - this thread is still open even though it has been universaly anti-Evony sounding. If it was serious, someone would have already shut the thread down.
they usually dont shut them down for 24 hours.
they have to make us ALMOST feel like our feedback is welcome and appreciated.
some of you are greatly mistaken. You can buy the packages for a few days.. but they items are available until they're used.
holidaying for a week isnt going to help anyone.
and PS - for those of you who think zhay is a n00b... most of you probably wouldnt last a week on our server LOL. she's right... most of us would love a merge with a bunch of you softies out there.
I looked at all those positive feedbacks and well server NA is age 2 and those are the posts that I saw any positive feedback.
Meanwhile back at the Ranch... Evony are you trying to turn this "Free On-Line Browser Game" into a pay-to-play game? :mad:
I don't coin and I can see my accts being smashed by those nefarious few.
Keep the tricks and gimmicks on the servers you started them on ie; AgeII
Age 1 is old school, most of us have been here for years with the notepads and the calculators learning to strategize within the mechanics of the game. So why would we want to log in someday to see that some uncouth coiner has locked our gates up and zero'd our towns. No tactics other than a paid for cheat, sheet, che4t. I view this Angel/Devil to be worse than the botters which supposedly you abhor.
So in shortEvony, if you want to tinker with Age 1 then please, please, (PLEASE), tinker with the lag and fix it. That's what's broke, the game play needs no fixing and certainly no new curves.
Evony - Free Forever (But we will give paying customers items you cant have that will allow them to take all you goods and kill all you troops unless you shell out and pay to play).
Too long of a rename?
Simply put, it does not matter if you think the item is good/bad/indifferent, when Evony makes an item available to paying customers which changes the rules of the game, and does not make the same item or items available the non-paying customers so that they can win it or earn it, they have changed the rules of the game beyond it being a "free game". It is not pay for performance, not pay to do things faster. They have broken their own rules, again.
I have spent alot of time on an old server, evony REFUSE to merge it, when its got TWO, REAL alliances left, the 3RD disbanded just yesterday, and there are not even enough people for a simple chat, but i am one of the most hated players on the server (because of my size) and i do not bot, but i put 1TRILLION gold + in my main city, as a defence whilst i am offline, because i have MASS amount of layers, like cav in my war city i keep gates closed whilst offline, and this REALLY messes with my whole game set up, rather than checking evony every 2 or so hours, i have to check it every chance i get.. and with my reputation on the server, my ability to just close gates, and port is what has kept me going. (95% of troops and resources is in the one city, so if someone comes to it, i can just port more a command centre than a war city)
And now what? someone comes to my war city whilst im offline, i dont have the gold to delay them for HOURS anymore, and i can lose everything just like that.
evony is a game, where if offline you can get screwed no matter what, be it losing troops or resources, so people spent months, years finding and building the best set up that suits them whilst offline, and i have mine, now i have nothing.
Thanks alot evony!!
ALSO IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, N4 NEEDS A DAMN MERGE! 2 strong alliance, PHOENIX/Synergy, 3 other top 10 alliances are their farming alliances, Synergy 3B prest, phoenix 2B, the rest not even a billion, less than 300 ACTIVE players, MERGE MERGE MERGE.
