    I find some of the reactions in this thread funny. Items like this have been suggested in the past. New strategy items are suggested frequently actually; many people want Evony to try and spice up the game.
    That's all Evony has done, they have attempted to add a little fun - something different - and what do they get from their customers for trying?

    This is not the end all be all, guys. These items are not that bad. It is not impossible to defend your city with open gates for an hour. And what if you're sleeping? Well, honestly, if you went to bed with closed gates you're just as likely to get robbed of all your resources and be woken up to a starving city. In fact, you'd stand a better chance with open gates.
    Not to mention that, but the broken gates item can actually be used to help yourself defend as well.
    The effects help assist against a defending bot because of the population reduction and the open gates. An attacking bot would find itself out of whack (timing wise) because of the extended march time. A bot has no programming for these effects. It's good.
    The hero start only cripples your hero by 10%. Unless you stack it three times, and I wouldn't count on getting one hero stacked 30% simple because for each $30 you randomly get one of the four devil effects available.
    "Lost in the Waste" won't help an attacking coiner, so no worries there either.

    The most interesting part of this reaction in my opinion is that this is only a 6 day event, yet many of you are acting as if gameplay is ruined forever. The company is trying to make a positive addition, a special occasion, for it's players and i'm honestly disgusted with how spoiled and entitled many of you sound, as if Evony should cater solely to the people who don't help support the game financially at all.
    Some of the reactions in this thread are ridiculous.

    The wheels of survival are greased more readily by easy lies than hard truths.

    If you're going to be on these threads abusing Evony for doing this, then don't go out and buy it!
    I don't believe in thinking before I speak
    I prefer to be just as surprised as everyone else by what I say

    as customers we have a right to say what we like and don't like. We don't like it.

    The hero start only cripples your hero by 10%. Unless you stack it three times, and I wouldn't count on getting one hero stacked 30% simple because for each $30 you randomly get one of the four devil effects available.

    If they are so ineffectual why bother bringing them out? or is it just a gimmick to get people to part with the $$?

    People are concerned these new items are going to become permanent fixtures to buy. Given many have spent large amounts of money on their accounts it's their right to be concerned about losing big heroes. No?

    as to being disgusted? we are the consumers, the people that make evony rich. Again, customers that have put a real financial investment into the game. If we hate the items, that's our right as consumers. I do feel for the mods, I know you guys are volunteers just trying to keep the peace and there's been some pretty strong opinions in this thread. But I'm saddened by how dismissive the mods are being of our concerns where we are basically being told 'stop whining and deal with it'.

    True you can only buy them for 6 days, but you can also hold onto them as long as you like and spring them on someone at anytime. They never go away. This just means that the people who are wanting these "weapons" and have the money can just spend to their hearts content and pile em up. Its not uncommon on our server for some people to spend in the thousands on a whim.

    maybe, but this game was "sold" as a free forever game. whats spoiled in wanting it to be fair for even those who don't or can't spend? If it hadnt been touted as such, then I would wholeheartedly agree with you.

    If you don't like something then yes as players/customers then you have the right to say you don't like it.

    But....

    SbD moderates (I say moderate she is a volunteer not an employee of EVONY) the suggestion section and there has been more than one suggestion of a sort to include something in the shape of gate control, spicing the game up.....etc. All that besides as much as I appreciate you all need to vent you obvious dislike of the "Gates Broken" strat I'm wondering is this is more of dislike of change. It does seem a little over the top in places, even though some valid points have been raised.

    It's only a 6 day promotion and in that time I seriously doubt many players will succeed in getting Broken Gates. Yes the buff is there until it's used but I really, really think you will be very unlucky to actually be hit by it.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    It's not about someone opening my gates for an hour, it's about someone closing them for an hour. You want to hit my cities, grand work away. However, I should have the ability to defend that city, by opening my gates and killing your troops. I shouldn't have to spend more money than I have already on this game (and that is before you decide I am a free forever player my dear) just so I can defend myself by a) porting or b) trucing. Granted I can get these items from the wheel of doom, or by farming for ports. I'd much rather be able to defend my cities in the manner that I always have done.

    To be honest in the two years I have been playing Age I, I can not recall one person I know stating 'we want Strats in Age I', in fact considering most of the people I know in Age I, I actually met when I first started on Age II and they brought me over to Age I. The strats are a part of the reason they don't play Age II any longer. May be you are confusing the two Ages, as Evony often do. Age II is Age II and Age I is Age I. The two should never ever be lumped together.

    this seems to be the BIGGEST Point missed in this ENTIRE thread.


    i'd say (from reading for a couple days both here and on the feedback site) that the majority of complaints have been about just that - having your gates locked closed and your resources plundered - essentially free of charge.

    then we get 4 posts after calling the OP whiner or crier for not wanting to fight.

    If you want to kill my troops great - lock those damned gates wide open and have at it. But locking my gates closed and being able to plunder my resources without a fight - that i have a HUGE problem with.

    Its one of the game mechanics i've never understood anyway (i acknoledge, deal with and use, but dont understand the why)... if gates are closed - how the hell can you plunder someone's stuff? Before anyone jumps in and says 'but your walls are gone'.... well if thats the case, what difference does my gates have to do with my troops fighting. If i have walls but no defenseive stuff.. you STILL have walls. Troops can walk up and just walk back home. Its a two way street - if trans can get in to plunder, the troops would be able to fight. Not like anyone with a city with walls and gates would lock them and leave the plunder OUTSIDE the city walls. Thats how a seige is supposed to work - but this is neither here nor there i guess.

    The past two posters are spot on. Forcing gates open is one thing, but making a city indefensible is what so many of us find appalling.

    Someone with war horn, corselet, penicillin, and an excal'd hero will always have an advantage against someone with none of them and we all play accepting that.

    On the other hand, making an item that has the ability to make a city LITERALLY indefensible is just plain unfair. We know that there are always going to be balancing issues, but this one was made either ignorantly or apathetically. Both are insulting to the player base.

    I've always considered it that your city stores resources OUTSIDE of the city gates but before the wall defenses (this line of reasoning works for all but the rolling logs). The reason warehouses work is because you're "physically" moving the resources to be inside of your gates.
