    Yea if they keep allowing sites like Link removed to operate I'll just go back to regular pc and console games. TBH if he drops a few k and sells 60 for around $300USD he makes close to $18k. I guess evony doesn't care as long as we are buying packs.

    HH are not really the cause of imbalance my best non HH is at 747 my best HH is at 809 and I have a 15 set 62 points is not death nor dose it make you uncompetitive where the difference between a 15 set and a 12 set is like 300 points. The 100 point leadership difference matters but not as much as you would think.
    1 if u don't have a 16 and are sending 150k max waves the leadership is minor issues because the layers make it so you big meat part of the wave is only 130k or so and u are not far off for a normal hero being able to handle it
    2 i did some tests with farming level 10 npcs with 200k warriors even there it is not a big difference in effect between a 800at 200 leader and 747 100 leader ship and the only difference was 5% increase in causalities wile farming a level 10 with 200k warriors.

    so yea HH are interesting and cool i have like 40 or so but as the original post suggests the stars are what really make the difference between a set of 8 stars and a 15 set is a difference of like 400 points. and the cost/time of getting a 15 set is what we are debating here. as a server gets older more and more people get enough gems to have a 15 set but i think it takes like 2 years or 5-30k if you want it the first week. lol that would be scary.

    I agree with everything on this post and hope that Evony will take a moment and realize fixing this benefits everyone

    How about we just stop spending. Evony would notice that no people aren't spending .01-100k$. They would listen to us and do what we say and if they do what we say, we go spending. If they don't we won't spend but will keep protesting
    If you are wondering where I'm at please take a look at this post: http://bbs.evony.com/showpost.php?p=...ostcount=69243

    Cya everyone.

    lol i have tried but it is like crack I cannot stop. I need to be able to advance tell. I need to be able to run all my production with excal on my 15 star set hero really do u want to make 4k pults a day from one city or 5k.

    These calls for a boycott of spending are silly and will fall on def ears that is because 95% of players do not use the forums. so even if every one who saw you say stop spending did stop spending would be a 5% drop in evony income. Actually it would not even be that much because your not really even asking the big spenders 5k-35k to stop spending. so if every one who reads you post that you are encouraging to stop spending in fact does stop spending it will be like 1% money drop for evony they wont notice that.

    Back on topic the "cost" of the stars in money or time is high but the same can be said for a level 700 hero in age one that would be $7,000 if one where to buy 700 on war. If one where to level a hero up to 700 buy farming NPC's it would take years just as it years or thousands to up the gear

    The big difference in age one and age 2 is not the "cost" to get a top hero/gear but the willingness of a few 22 according to JP to out right buy it and have a 15 star set the equlivant of a level 700 hero long before any one on the server should. That is really a testament to how much better a game age 2 is that people are willing to spend 35k on it.

    But we do want the game to be fun for non spenders as well as light spenders and frankly i think a 11-13 set is attainable with out spending more than a few hundred or with aggressive farming. and even a 11 set is competitive with a 15 set and 13 with excal is equal to a 15 set. So I am not really convinced there is a problem with the star system as it is. It is expensive and it is Random so that makes it a little scary. and can make the price vary dramatically but the random nature is fun one time i went from 9 to 15 with no crashes obviously that did not happen to the rest of them. or it would not have cost me 22k.

    I believe it would be best if Evony left their odds like they are, but set up a second set of numbers showing your probability based on your past efforts. This will likely lead to fewer people going for higher level stars, yet it will likely lead to fewer people quitting due to the deceptive percentages.

    I was trying to go from 12 to 13 and blew threw 1800 delicate and just under 1300 flawless gems just to wind up at level 2. I did spend the bulk of the last 300 flawless trying to get to 10.

    If not for the terrific people in Massacre I would have quit the game. I do promise that Evony will never see any more money from me because of the stars. Not that the $30.00 USD I spent made them rich, but how much money do they have to lose the chance to make before they realize they have an issue that should be fixed.

    Edit: To address what Toe was saying. I had a 12 star set and was trying to slowly upgrade so it achievable. Without spending a cent it is quite possible to get a good star set that will make you competitive. The money I spend on the game was for advanced ports. By being less than upfront on the probability of the stars, Evony is driving away people who would buy ports, strats, and other items.

    Na12 we have 1 guy with a 15 set three with a 14 set and quite a few with 13, also a few ppl with only a few gears to get the 15 set, yes its random and yes its expensive, my beef is that since they fixed the 115% and put it back to 100% it has changed the odds greatly, before then the 13 set was easier, now its nearly impossible. The fact I can fail three times in a row on 95% is absolute bs . Flawless gems on a flawed system. A little honesty about the "true" odds u face would be appreciated, rather than reply to tickets about intel heroes and a base chance and player chance just to close a ticket of complaint.
    Someone in this thread likened it too Vegas, last I heard u needed a license to take money to gamble, and thats what upgrading stars is ...one BIG gamble!

    Default that 45% means the cost of going up each level

    the costs more than dubble at each level so a 15 set is more than 2X the costs of a 14 and that happens every time form level 10 i think on and 10's are still a fare amount of gems / money so if a 13 costs you like $200 a 14 costs you like 500 and a 15 costs you like $1300 that is why when some one says i have some 14s and 13s and on 15 i say great keep it that way unless you are willing to sell your soul to evony.

    I had to ***** my self for my star set.

    Well i thought about a master gem it would be on a random drop kind of like other thing's in evony but it would allow you to up grade with 1 gem andno fail if you have that gem i have spoke to doomtrain about it but yet to hear anything back about it yet

    I have never ever spent a penny on evony. EVER.
    On na26 (which started november), on a 6% drop, i got my 11 star set in janruary to blow it up a week later......
    I rejoined the server 2 weeks afterwards and now in June I am sitting on a 11star set with 2 at 12...... Mind you, i didn't start properly farming until April time
    Its really not difficult if you invest the time into farming....

    Also, regarding figures for 15 star sets, the singular person on my server spent MAX $3000.... Just sayin'
