Thread: More than a little disgusted

    Default More than a little disgusted

    with the myriad of problems this game STILL has, and the Devs constant foisting of BS "look what you get when pay our exorbitant prices for in game coins" mail messages.

    1) On the Rally Spot troop dispatch window....why is it that when there are two digits in each of the times, the arrival time rolls down a line and can not be read? A simple thing I'd think, to make that window display just a wee bit wider to accommodate this. Particularly given that the time are displayed using a 24 hour clock and it is therefore absolutely unavoidable that this will arise.

    2) Speaking of time displays...why in the hell is your march times displayed in that players local time and not in Evony Time? Makes coordination of attacks a REAL chore, when you have multiple players in multiple time zones involved.

    3) Why do arrival times change? When coordinating mass strikes, timing maybe required down to the second. When a group is sent, and it shows an arrival time of XX:XX:03...why an hour later will that same group now show an arrival time of XX:XX:06? I understand fully that IRL, exact arrival times are impossible to project. But this isnt real life is it? This is a computer model with the ability to compute exact travel times over precise distances. Once that computation is done, IT SHOULD NOT CHANGE.

    I was this morning, launching 40 waves at a distant NPC. My initial assault wave, was shown at launch as arriving at XX:XX:02. This is significant in that this village regens at the :02 time mark. I then had another 38 waves, landing at the :03 and :04 times, with the capping wave landing at the :05 mark. An hour later and while still launching some of these waves, as I went in to verify that waves arrival time (which if off I would recall and then resend), I noticed that NONE of the waves were now landing at the :02 mark, several were landing at the :05 mark and 1 was landing at the :09 mark! My initial assault wave, which absolutely HAD to be the first wave to land, was now mixed in with a variety of the followup waves. Obviously this is not going to work and that alone would result in having to recall everything. But now my capping wave was shown as arriving not 3 seconds prior to the village regenerating defenses but 1 second AFTER. If you are going to regen defenses with precision; then we need to be able to march with precision.

    4) As I was sending these assaults; I was obviously using Camp Time to delay each wave so as to ensure it landed at a precise moment. SO here I am, watching the timer, waiting for it to display XX:XX:03 so I could hit OK and send the next wave due to land at XX:XX:04...and BAM! The timer jumps from XX:XX:02 to XX:XX:04 with NO 3rd second after the minute. Since when do minutes have 59 seconds in them? IN your screwed up little world, do you count 1-2-4..... (which frankly, would probably go a long ways toward explaining some of the problems this game has.)

    5) Speaking of Camp Time, why do groups camp on their way back home? The ONLY function for camp time, is to time the arrival precisely, of a group, on the target area. So why when returning, does that group camp again????? (I'd like a reason for this OTHER than the obvious admission that the Devs were too lazy to insert a line of code to delete the camp time on the return march and instead just used the same variable value for the original total march time TO the target.)

    6) FIX the medal drop rates already. They are SUBSTANTIALLY too low and you full well know it. It took me over 6 WEEKS, of 100 barb raids/day, to land the required Honor Medals for promotion in title. I happen to be unemployed atm and am therefore able to devote FAR too much time to this game. If I were a casual gamer, playing say 2 or 3 hours day maximum....at the rate I experienced it would be 2012 before I found the required medals. Oh I know...buy meal boxes and you dont have to wait. If I HAVE to buy medal boxes to get promoted, then the game isnt "free" and you are guilty of false advertising now huh? Right, 'the player can play without getting promoted". This is true, upto a given point in time on any given server. Then if you arent amongst those with 7+ cities...you WILL be reduced to a singular city of burning rubble. At that point, with LOY 0, population 0 and a city count of 1...you really cant play anymore can you? Unless you buy a Speech Text, in which case the game isnt free and you are guilty of....(care to fill in the blank?)


    So DEVS, I beseech you, I beg of you, I implore you...FIX SOME OF THE PROBLEMS IN THIS GAME. Spend a wee little less time trying to figure out how to screw us out of our money and a wee little bit MORE time in figuring out how to make it WORTH our spending some money on.

    March time/arrival time is based on your computer's internal clock. Just have your alliance synch their computer clocks to the same min/sec and mentally adjust for time zones when attacking together.

    Exactly. i fully agree with you, these people try to screw us out of our money, and your right about false advertisment, its free, until it cant be played without buying necessary items. the coordinates thing ERKS THE MESS OUT OF ME! i just want to shoot it.

    and into every mix comes the eternal apologist.

    Didnt sayit has to be perfect. But after more than 6 months of "going live"; the fixes should be predominantly done. Not being ignored STILL the same as they were to start with.

    As for the company needing money to survive I wholeheartedly agree. However, putting out a defective product, refusing to address its issues, refusing to address your clienteles issues, and charging an exorbitant amount; are NOT models for a successful venture.

    Its a broken model, which relies upon a constant turnover of new players/users in order to feed the coffers. As word of the products fallibility spreads, the influx of new/paying users declines; and the model dies. Simple economics really.

    I agree. Evony is so focused on their short term goals and profits, that long term they will lose profits and eventually die off. At this point they will probably pump out some half-ass game (Age II) and try to bleed the customers of this game dry. They will continue doing this, and the rich will get richer.

    it doesnt make any sense for them to pull people off of working on the AGEII expansion and put them to work on this old clunker.
    You wouldnt buy new tires for an old car that you are going to get rid of as soon as you get your new car.no, you just hold it together with duct tape and bailing wire long enough until your new car arrives.
    After AGEII is released no one is going to continue playing this, so they might just as well get rid of it when AGEII gets here.
    It is good that war is so terrible or we should grow too fond of it

    WRONG! What doesnt make sense, is to think that people who cannot make THIS game work correctly, can/will make Age II work correctly.

    What doesnt make sense, is to confuse a browser based game, with a full fledged commercial release wherein updates over time automatically render the previous release obsolete via hardware change, graphics/audio enhancements etc. Fallensword for ex, has been around for HOW long? Yet it still functions though it has gone through numerous updates and enhancements. HCS, has at least HALF a clue. Can not say the same for this ragtag outfit however.

    What doesnt make sense, is for people with no idea of what they speak, to consistently defend a company which has no idea how to treat its users.

    You dont know what you're talkin' about,
    complaining on here won't bring a revolution...
    Try suggestion forum or how about call up the company themselves?

    Cuz whining N' crying here won't help change anything, baby.

    I see, so based on your line of reasoning then, FORD couldnt possibly make a decent car because they made the pinto which was a complete piece of junk death trap.

    I`m sure nintendo never made a decent game either because some of their first games were pretty lame.

    But anyhow, yeah if i was you i wouldnt give them the honor and privledge of having yourself as a player of their game, I would leave and not post on their forums ever again, that will teach them.
