Thread: Evony Flaws.

  1. #1

    Default Evony Flaws.

    This is a pretty cool game. This is not meant to be a complaint but rather a forward looking post down the line after the game is matured.

    1. New players are Fubar'd. I have new players wanting to join my alliance. I look at their coordinates and they are a wee little town sitting besides a 5 town empire. Teleport away. They are now sitting besides another 5 town empire with three more monster empires close by. They leave 7 day protection as a knight with 2 cities and are pummelled into QUITTING.

    2. The empires close by most likely arent taking applications from NOOBS.

    3. People have to sleep. I have been being attacked by a player who teams up with another player to essentially attack me 20 hours a day. Great. No problem. Its been a blast!!...however I do have to sleep.

    4. Ricky Bobby here...If your not first your last. If your not huge, big, powerful...you are nothing but a plaything for the lions around you. Hugely unfair for noobs coming into the game.

    5. Because you cannot enter this game without being placed beside some guy who is just going to farm your city till you quit then new players will not last long. For every 10 that joins...1 will stay. Good for the strong players who always think this game belongs to THEM. Bad for the weak players.

    6. So in conclusion while the game is a good game and its fun for people who dont have the need to have a little man or woman running around waving a gun or a sword its pretty kew. It is flawed to the core though and these basic flaws are going to kill it unless Evony makes some changes.

    This is not complaints.. Im just pointing out that if some of these things somehow are not changed then this game is nothing more then a hardcore playground for the few. Ive seen it in every PVP style game out there. This one is perhaps ONE of the worst cause you CANT LOG OUT....YOU CANT TAKE A BREAK. So how do you play this game against the uber hard core?

    You don't and thats why this game will fizzle out unless some serious changes are made.

    You offered no solutions; all you have done is reiterate a known issue.

    So far as number 1 goes....I think an advanced teleport scroll needs to be added to the noob packages. Give everyone a chance to settle a decent spot, and grow.

    I agree... at least 1 advance teleporter. How many times someone teleports away from the lion to end up in the lion's den

    There are other games out there like this and what they do to alleviate this problem is:
    Start at the center of the world map and places players around the outside of the populated areas until the map is full. That way you are always placed in a noob area and you all come out of protection at the same time.

    They aren't as fun as this game is to me because in order to do the above they don't let you chose anything but the direction (some of the servers don't allow that) and there are no teleport at all. If you don't like where you are you can restart and lose your whole village every two weeks. That game has thousands and thousands of players world wide with different language servers.

    I have offered my solutions to Evony thru the contact option. But I will post them here as well.

    1. A noob island is created. New Players who are born are put on an island with the option to stay as long as they want but can never grow past one city. This gives them a chance to learn the game against other players who are roughly equal to them.

    2. They are given one advanced teleporter so that if they choose to join an alliance they can teleport somewhere where the alliance they join can offer them protection.

    3. Recruiting new players by an alliance offers special perks to encourage them to do so, so that new players coming into the game are actually offered spots in a bigger and stronger alliance.

    4. The game needs a 8-12 hour truce everyday. Period. People have to sleep. They just do and unless the plan is to encourage you and your friends to all share a kingdom and gank noobs or other alliances players then offer each player a 12 hour truce everyday to be used whenever in order to get some sleep.

    Or you can start on one of the many new servers opening up where no one has more than four cites yet and there are plenty of flats and valleys to be taken over.

    You don't have to start on server1-5 when they have server 6-9 now.

    But starting on the new servers will not illiminate the people coming in next month or the month after that.

    Its the new people.....You have to have new people coming in all the time that keeps an MMO alive.

    Another possible remedy (though not a complete solution) is to place people from the same time zones in the same geographical areas; that makes it a little less likely that you'll be surrounded by people who are active while you're asleep.

    its just a list of why new players will be farmed repeatedly...
    im a fairly decent sized player at nearly 100k, and if i see a new player pop up beside me i message him, inviting him to be my personal ally, i offer them protection until they are able to fend for themselves.
    Because im nice
