Yes yes yes! That's what I'm talking about

The ammies need to stay gone to bring combat back into the game. Right now far too many players have far too many alts that are loaded with strats that are used to destroy combat. As the number of strats goes down there can be more war. I can see why my opponents are desperate for ammies to come back, how else are they going to burn my food several times a day for weeks on end or besiege me over 60 times trying to get just 1 mech wave to land one evening.
There might be other ways to fix the problem with too many strats and far too many alts with strats. For example, banning the alt accounts. It could be possible to limit the number of burns that can be used per week or how many besieges can be used on one person in a 24 hour period.
But for now, Evony screwed up and did something that helps game play. Instead of whining about the stuff that you and maybe your alts will be losing, celebrate the balance this will be bringing to attacking.
I do hope to be burned in the future for weeks on end several times a day with a loot a burning house being used first. I just want my opponent to pay to do that. They can besiege me to their hearts content, as along as they pay instead of having lord123456 do it for them.
Seems like evony has really started cracking down these past few days...at least on na44. At least 3 big HH/account sellers got banned and the auto clickers no longer work with facebook. Any one else noticing any changes in their servers?
Wait ... strats kill the game? And me and my alts? I do not have any alts. And how does this bring balance? So the people who have been benefiting from the cheats and have 10,000 strats get to keep them while I'm stuck with what I have against them. This is like the idea that taking away multi tap farming would bring back PvP. Did it work? Nope. Instead players with huge armies gained by using it just sat back and laughed. I can't tell you how many times someone has said sure I would fight but I don't have any food.
D'oh....
Now you have players who are JUST running out of ammies now. Weeks after they are done... and those of us who were getting 7 a day.. ohoh ... we are at a disadvantage again.
IF you want more fighting maybe follow a basic rule of war... armies march on their stomachs. No food .. no fighting...
Players stay because of fun. No ammies so silly spin parties bytching about the crap we get. Laughing together... complaining .. you know socializing... the thing that keep players playing.
No ammies.. less speakers. W/C is deader then I've seen it in 2 1/2 years. Heck I haven't had a good flame war in w/c since the ammies stopped. I've BOUGHT speakers to keep some going.. not anymore. That was a huge part of the game too. You get that raging raving nutjob screaming how he knows Evony's CEO and going to get us all banned because we are all evil devil worshipping spawn of the political system that supports the killing of air molecules and baby sea sand .. and we would egg him on laughing about it messaging our enemies and joking about it... now you can see the tumbleweeds flying through w/c ...
Even people trying for stars are down. I used to see 3-5 people a day trying complaining about the rotten odds (more speakers there) spinning away trying for more gems, for coin to spend.. now maybe MAYBE one a day tries.. I know I'm not trying until I have over 1k gems of each type. At the minimum.
No food (HNM is not working ... and I doubt FB is to blame as tech support is saying). no coin, no gems, no speakers ... uhm... so why are people playing?
They ain't.... and they ain't paying either.
I haven't had a single chest land in my 10,000 collection that I can't get rid of in weeks...
and I'm not buying the one I budgeted today either.
Want more fighting... get us more food. And get rid of bots that are defending a city we have been spamming for the last 3 months... really you can't tell that a bot is there????
D'oh... HEY wait.. if we could hit the city and take it maybe we would and then go after then next city.. what do you think????
I'm usually on the quiet side and try to adapt to changes brought by the developing team.
I used to be an above average coiner in Age II. I was thinking about coming back to the game. I actually started a new account on na10 a couple of days ago to have a FB account ready for the next new server.
When I saw this amulet "fix" I dropped the idea and went back to Runescape .
Back to retirement....
hey illum good to see you still alive and kicking, but yea this amulet "fix" will put an end to my evony days very soon as well, the game is now too inbalanced, and too expensive, and id be an above average coiner as well.
id like to see evony explain now how a non coiner is meant to lvl his gear to 10...
Non-coiners are not meant to level their gear to 10. That was the entire purpose of getting rid of the ammies---to force non-coiners to spend money if they want to compete.
Whatever the nonsense was about making it so facebook is not required is just that--nonsense. Facebook was free to anyone who chose to use it. If you chose not to use facebook, that was your choice but you could have done so for free.
It is all about the money. It is always about the money.
Indeed it is all about money. Without being able to receive amulets, I found I could not compete with those who coined. I was on na44 - and it is clear, unless you are willing to coin, you do not have a chance. In the alliance I was part of, the typical player spent over $20) in the first couple of days so they could gather all the HHs. Our little alliance (just over 20 players) had upwards of 100+ HHs. Then used them to quickly take the state capital and pretty much allowed them to draft at will - all within the first two weeks of the server. This game have moved to a pay-for-play experience only and those of use who truly cannot afford a $100 weekly cost - well, let's say I am no longer part of the game. Quit this morning.
Not sure where you've been lately, but spending $20 doesn't really classify you as a coiner.
