Thread: Do NOT spend money on Evony if medal drop rate not fixed.

    Angry Do NOT spend money on Evony if medal drop rate not fixed.

    The medal drops are ridiculous. I must have plundered a couple hundred valleys and cities, I have tried everything, but I cannot advance.

    So here is the deal when I get my 4th city... promise I will spend $10 to buy 2 Michelangelo's scripts. Until then forget it.

    I am not wasting my money on this stupid game where I cannot advance. It's a shame because the concept is nice. But there is just no way to get medals, and I don't see the point in trying anymore.

    I agree, so far I have only gotten Medals from Purchasing them.

    get a level 9 feasting hall, level 8 rally point, and 9 heroes in a town with a 1-4 level valley right next to it, and spam take it over and abandon it right after taking it.

    It sucks, is boring as crap, and will sometimes cost you archers if you're doing it at 4 am and screwing up because you need one more )(&#$ rose medal, but it got me from knight to Baronet without a single won or bought medal.

    However, now i'm having no luck with honor medals :/

    That's what they want people to do. But all that happens is you end up with your 3rd or 4th city in the exact same boat. It would cost about $500 to get 10 cities at this rate. Maybe some people will spend that much but I sure hope not very many.

    Of the medals Freedom and below, the only one's I have ever had a real hard time acquiring are the Honor medals. I can get Wisdom, Freedom, Courage and Lion medals out the wazoo in comparison to Honor medals. It's taken me two months to go from Baronet/Colonel to Earl/General and not for lack of attacking valleys/NPC's either.

    I got honor medals by making tons of npc cities and attacking them, mostly the 1-4 gave honor and the 5 gave higher ones.

    Also, I just got 4 nation and 1 justice medal out of 6 attacks on a lvl 10 city, 4 of them when it had NO troops (but lots of quick respawning traps) on server 32, so I declare:
    BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    ive earned many medals, its just perseverance.

    dont give evony grief, they changed the drop rate in the first place to stop exploits, and make the game more of a challenge, and give it longer playability.

    If you believe medal farming is challenging I would have to disagree with you. In my opinion it monotonous and stupid. I also suspect the nerf was more about encouraging players to spend more money then to improve the quality of the game play.

    It's a shame that players are forced to spend so much energy attacking NPCs in a MMO war game... That is of course unless they drop a fair chunk of real dollars.

    I am not against paying real dollars to play a game... I buy games all the time, and value them. However the cost benefit of medal boxes is just not there for me. I would be willing to however buy items, but not just to get promoted -- the cost to get my 3rd city is around $50 (more or less); and then I would need 7 more promotions. I am just pointing out that in my opinion the tactics used to get players to spend money are hurtful to the game in the long term as people will just get frustrated and leave. And for the people who do spend money, they will only find a sea of noobs and no real challenge and regret spending money to be the only ones to actually advance.
