The issue im getting at is such things like, Age 2's new conquest system, a much awaites system that is supposed to make the game more fun right?
Wrong.
The players of Evony had discussed this with you for a while, a discussion i partook in and actually really like where it was going, it had comprimises to fit the needs of both the Conquest fans, and the Colonize fans. Simple suggestions, just as simple as a truce agreement, or vacation mode. If the person wants to go to conquest mode? sure go right on ahead, but you cant hit and run as you need to wait a week to switch out of it =D, it was good, gave time for retaliation towards retards looking for a quick hit, while at the same time, the people who didnt want to do conquest never had to.
However, now, I have joined one of the new servers, and after a brief while out of newby prot, i get declared war against. I'm sitting here with no army yet just thinking to myself.. ok, not good, imediatly followed by "go go gadget truce agreement", now after applying said agreement, i find my attackers city, only to find there is an attack button. Evony's grand solution, is to force people to declare war against somebody, before going to conuer them. while the colonization option remains available even while not at war.
Sombody explain this to me... So, you make it easier to colonize people... AND you make it so everybody can conquer everyone? My initial reaction was just "wow... they killed a really good idea with this.." and i felt a bit betrayed that they would lead the players on for so long as if they actually gave a crap, and then did something completely diffrent. But no, it doesnt end there.
Now there are people that are ranting "when is it going to be merged onto the older servers?" and my hope is never.
Evony, what the heck is the point of Age 2 now? Please tell me, Age 1 they could beat you to a blood pulp and then just harras your last city. This new system in Age 2 is now, they can beat you to a bloody pulp, harras your last city, AND THEN enslave it and rob you as you try to rebuild. I mean wtf... If it was an option for those with the testicular fortitude to risk it, thats one thing, but forcing complete newbies against the people who spend hundreds of dollars on the first day of the darn server to reach 1m pres. It never fails ther eis always 1. "im going to start on a new server to get a fresh sta... why does this guy already got 1.2m prestige on the first day?" Answer: he has more money than you, or is a little bit obsessed. But thats not my point. Bascily this entire rant is for one simple purpose, either get rid of the suggestion forum completely as its obviously a waste of space if your not going to take any of the ideas, or if your really daring, read what your players write, and perhaps take into account what they want. Im not saying bankrupt yourself trying to satisfy people that want everything to be handed to them on a silver platter, im just saying, dont lead people on that you listen, if your not going to actually follow through.
1:03 AM, rants over, you can go away now -_-'
zzz...
