Thread: Update on 17 June (pre update rant)

    Default Update on 17 June (pre update rant)

    Well, i guess all players have gotten the mail from the dev saying they will remove all npc made by abandoning cities.

    So im guessing a lot of players including me are waiting to see how it will be done.
    Scenario as below:

    1. They wipeout all NPC and just add in a few NPC only. No one can create NPC anymore by abandoning cities. Regen rate still at 8 hours and defence mechanic stays the same

    2. They wipeout all NPC and add in NPC of their own. No one can create NPC. Regen rate will be change again. Maybe full regen after 1 hour.

    3. They wipeout all NPC daily. Means you can still build your own NPC by abadoning cities and farm off them after 8 hours. After daily reset, just make them again.

    4. They only do the wipeout once. Meaning after this wipeout, players can still make NPCs again and keep on farming.


    Base on the assumption above, i know most players want no.4 but do we think that will happen? Base on the IQ devs are having through pass observation on their behaviour, this could happen.

    But most likely, im hoping for no.3 to happen. Atleast this way, i can still create npcs and farm them atleast once or twice before it gets reset. Its boring to make NPC daily, but it is the only way of supporting troops.

    With either 1 or 2 happening, most players will be screwed. No one can support their army with the production from farms.

    And for those who keep saying this is a war game and NPCs are ways the game are being exploited, i would just say **MOD EDIT**. people like you are the reasons the game went from fun to friggin boring. Why? Lets see the below reasons.

    1. Noobs ( and i mean damn noobs) complain bcuz they cant farm on NPC yet and people around them are getting stronger. (jealousy is the main thing here) So they complain to devs saying NPC are too easy for players. Devs made changes that npc only regen 24hr.

    2. because of this, players with more troops have no choice but pick on weaker players. Why? Because we need food to support our troops and in a way, we also want to kill off troops since you cant disband them. Well attacking easy targets are always a basic human nature. Who would actually march onwards to a loosing battle? Im sane so i wont do it. I rather pick on noobs who store too much resources with them.

    3. Weak players complain again. They say they are being targeted and cant grow strong. Devs decided to make it that NPC regen 8hrs so weaker players dont keep being targetted. But they add in a twist here, they change it so walls add bonus range to them. Higher level walls give higher range bonus to Archer towers. Still lot of players still found a loop hole through this. Why? Since stronger players have already started farming even before all these changes came in, they already have enough ballista to farm NPC safely. Oh i forgot to mention that ballista range got nerfed so its sorta getting harder to farm by using ballista only.

    4. Well because of this, weaker players dont even get a chance to farm on NPC. Why? because they dont have ballista or even enough ballista to even start farming. So how? they get jealous of the stronger players again. Just because other players can do it and they cant, they complain to devs again. Devs start to make changes again in order to help those weaklings/noobs. They make rockfall more deadly to mechanics now. Why? so that people who want to farm needs to get losses on their ballista/catapults. So what? stronger players found a way through it. And weaker players still got weaker because they still can farm decently. With low level archery and little ballista count, they cant even farm on lvl 4 NPC.

    5. So it comes down to this. Devs are gonna remove NPCs.



    Base on what i've written above, basically Devs are responding to new players so they can actually survive longer to play Evony. Problem is, with mroe and more changes, new players will never be able to survive long enough to get strong enough to defend themselves. Before they even get lvl 9 walls and 10k archer tower, they will keep getting attacked. So how can you even grow like this? Join alliances? More and more alliances are going to war with each other. With the update on the walls, who is gonna attack a high level city? We are just gonna attack weaker players to get the resources.

    So you see, what the devs done so far is actually screwed up play for new and weak players. They can actually go too far anymore. Stronger players actually become mroe resourceful by looking for ways to support they already huge army.


    So with the new update, lets see how weaker players get screwed again, and stronger players find ways to exploit it.

    **MOD EDIT**

    This game used to be fun, the devs keep changing and making this game near impossible to play. I personally will leave this game for good if there are no NPC to farms or the ability to make NPC's are gone.
    Way to ruin a decent game devs, enjoy your retarted 10 year olds and armies with 10k warriors facing a wall full of maxed archer towers, level 10 walls.
    Woooo! Go turtles.

    That was a lot of text you could have saved yourself by reading any of the other dozen threads on this topic where people said the devs are putting the barbarian part of the patch on hold until future notice.

    The idea, apparently, is to limit farming which is the purview of the Evony devs to do so. Agree, disagree or be indifferent. They will do what they believe to be in the best interest of maintaining the integrity of the game.

    Funny how Dawnseeker said it was NOT being done to hinder NPC farming in any way, but to clear up areas for new players.

    in a way, we also want to kill off troops since you cant disband them
    Are you sure you are playing the right game?

    All you have to do is click on the barracks, find the troops you want to disband and just click on the BIG RED sign on their picture.

    The story thus far ...

    And it came to pass in the worlds of Evony that the God Devs were unhappy with their people, for the people appreciated not what the God Devs had given them, and abused their privileges by farming npc's from the time the sun rose in the east, until the time that it set in the west.

    "What is this ?!" cried the God Devs. "This is not right ! We have given unto these people a world in which to wage wicked war upon one another, and to spend their hard earned cash on our Godly priced scripts, potions and miscillaneous brickerbrack!. If the people can obtain all they need from npc's, they will not spend their money on our splendid array of .. er .. stuff!"

    And the God Devs were unhappy with the people. And the God Devs called their servants to fetch them their nerf bats, for the people would learn that they ignored the store of the God Devs at their peril.

    And the God Devs did grant almighty defense powers to the NPC's, that they should smite the ballistas of the players that farmed them. And the God Devs saw that it was good, and they did say to the players "Suck on that !!"

    And the players did don sackcloths and covered their heads in ashes. Across all the Evony realm there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. They cried out to the God Devs in one voice "Yo! Dudes ! Hows about you like, chill with the nerf bat, mmkay ?"

    But the God Devs were deaf to their pleas, and watched to see if their plan would proceed as intended. They watched to see if the people would fight each other and make use of the God Dev store, rather than farm NPC's for all their waking hours.

    But the people were not happy with the God Devs and they cried "We cant fight each other! The defense boosts make it too hard !" And they did come up with cunning plans to counter the God Devs divine will. They did make for themselves their own NPC's, and in their thousands they did make them. And they farmed them from the time the sun rose in the east, until it set again in the west. And they did not spend all their hard earned cash in the divine store of the God Devs on holy waters, medal boxes and other godly goodies.

    And this angered the God Devs even more, and the God Devs once more called for their servants to bring forth their nerf bats. And the God Devs did send a system mail to all the inhabitants of all the Evony realms, and it did proclaim : "Network Error. Please refresh your page and try again."

    And the God Devs did refresh their browsers and attempt to log in again several times. And they did send forth their decree to all the inhabitants of all the Evony realms, that player made NPC's were 'simply not on' and would be wiped from the face of the Evony realms with the next maintenance period.

    Once again did the people don their sakcloths and cover their heads with ashes.Once more across the lands there was much wailing and gnashing of teerh. Once more did they cry to the God Devs in one voice : "Oi ! Thats not cricket !" and appealed to the God Devs to show them mercy, and if possible to replace their missing troops from the previous update.

    It is with baited breath that we wait and see what follows ....

    (to be continued)
