Some of us are really happy about this change, our fellowship is building and can only manage 7 chests currently.
Should only 10 chest fellowships be able to upgrade event buildings?
@Tree For the record, I put in a lot of work in the game, play every day, help everyone every day, score around 3k points in the tournament every week, so because I help and encourage players in a 6-7 chest fellowship to try and do better in the game and help them improve and enjoy the game, that makes me greedy.
Sorry again.
You've nailed the problem, and yet came down on the wrong side.
Your FS is building
You currently do 7 chests
If you no long er need to do 10 chests for a BP, and now get 50% of the RR just for doing 7 chests, what happens to the motivation to do better?
Good luck encouraging players to push for 10 chests every few weeks or to eventually improve to become a 10 chest FS.
I'll throw my two cents in.
What about those of us who aren't in Fellowships?
There is no excuse for not being in a FS. At the very least a FS of 1 is an option.
I like it that Inno made the RR spells available to everyone. There’s still a superyacht = 11 RR spells and there’s also a yacht = 5 spells and even a dinghy = 1 spell. And of course, there’s nothing for no effort.
I'm not sure about this analogy as I don't think you can trade 11 dingies for a superyacht.
Getting 300 points is not 10% of getting 3,000 points. The cost to fight/cater is not linear, nor is the number of points needed per chest.
Getting 10 chests costs a FS upwards of 30x what it costs for 3 chests.
on the beta announcement they said that it wouldn't be fair for someone to be able to use 1 royal spell to upgrade a 5x5 building and to also charge 1 spell to upgrade a 2x2 building. this is not true. it would be fair. everyone would just need to use their spells more wisely and use them for larger buildings. it would still be the same system for every player. maybe their system would have been easier to add to the game if they didn't over-complicate everything and left 1 blueprint = to 1 royal spell.
The 1 RR per square upgrade for
event buildings is brilliant. You say "more wisely" but reallywith 1 BP=1 RR the choices become very limited. Smart or stupid. Much better if upgrading a rainbow flower cage and a 3*6 set building are both viable smart choices(and every other choice in between)
It takes a team to finish 10 chests, and they may or may not work as hard as a smaller team of low level players that clears 5 chests.
The hardest part of the tournament might be getting 24 other players to join you and work hard. Even in a FS of 25 like yours there are often 10 players not doing their share. Every player in every chapter can do chapter x100 points (e.g. chapter 2 = 200 points)
A smaller team that is "working hard" i.e. 1600+ points each should be able to merge into or with another FS doing the same.
It is also not very hard to find a 10 chest FS that will take you if you are doing your share of 10 chests.
Not getting 10 chests is a choice. It's even one I have made on 2 servers. Beta because I play more casually there, and on US2 because I want to try and forge a 10 chest FS. I could leave my FS today and join a 10 chest FS in 5 minutes if I wanted to because I average over 2K, and so could anyone else.
Note: I haven't actually checked the EN top tournament fellowships, but on all 7 US servers there is an opening in a top FS, so it seems reasonable.
