I was told to put this here so it can be ignored with all the other feedback:
I am utterly furious and disappointed with Inno and their reaction to the feedback to the event changes. Not (only) because they are half-baked and ham-handed but because they are literally destroying our Fellowship.
Despite the substantial feedback about the new event format, the difficulties, the immense frustration and the negative impact on game-play and city development, Inno's last response is "Well, we are not gonna change it. Deal with it or find something else to play." For many in our FS that was the last straw.
And people do. Find something else to play. Its not only the sum of all the widely outlined event design atrocities, its basically this: "We can't play the Elvenar we love AND participate in Events. Its either-or now. Build the city the way you like OR build the stuff you need for an event. Explore and expand at your own pace OR massively overscout to accommodate Event quest requirements. Balance your economy (which is one of the nicest challenges in the game) OR be ready to accommodate huge (and pointless) gold reserves, just in case. And please don't say "WeLL YoU dOnT HAve To PLaY EvENTs" - that's one of the most inane arguments imaginable.
Bottom line is: I gave up on Events (or giving feedback about the - for what?) but now it is destroying my Fellowship and this is infuriating. People are noticeably less engaged and often just frustrated. Many have reduced playtime massively because it has become an unpleasant chore instead of a fun game.
And people are leaving. Thanks for that. Having nice people around was the one thing that made this mess bearable. Take them away... well, your reap what you sow.
I did want to say that if you find another game that is similar to the way Elvenar WAS, please tell me. I have been looking around for about a week and have a couple of ideas but nothing I have gotten into yet. I would love to play in a game with you again later, so if you find one and want to share it; please let me know
@Muf-Muf @Dizzy Lizzie i hope you are making the devs aware of all these players quiting the game because they refused to act on players feedback. Maybe you could get them to answer a question for me as well, why do they ask for player feedback and then don't act on it apart from some very minor tweaks that don't address the points raised ?
And lets not forget that these are not the only guys calling it a day --- how many more are leaving that dont post here.
2 players in my FS have quit when i told them the devs response to feedback another 1 is thinking of going and another is not going to take part in anymore events.
There is nothing accidental.Granted it can all be just coincidences but it's a weird random system
Most likely the fact that no other game provides what this game does is probably the reason they don't give a fart about what we think.
One or more items of the below (incomplete) list would be scrapped when looking for another game:
- Good graphics
- Fellowships (Guild system is not so unique but it is a bit in combination with non-combat games)
- Adventures (Common goal quests)
- Non-combat option
- No PvP combat
- Tech tree
- Event buildings
- Settlement/city building
- Not too heavy on the clicking
Stop posting stuff that gets ignored by Inno anyway and come back and do tournament!
Technically speaking it's not fraud, even though systems such as lootboxes (=chests for instance), which is de facto online gambling have come under heavy scrutiny by some governments (such as the Netherlands') and is become a more widespread issue amongst politicians. I can expect Germany to implement similar restrictions sooner rather than earlier, and one US Senator is trying to tackle to problem already (and the US moves way slower than the EU when it comes to this stuff). What I think is happening is that Inno is trying to squeeze as much money as possible from this system (as well as FOMO) while it still can, because the laws are coming, mark my words, it's only a matter of time. One more example: in the UK, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport Committee has recommended the Government regulates loot boxes under the Gambling Act.I accuse INNO-GAMES of lying or fraud, or of complete incompetence for creating a new system of tasks. Since the second is unlikely to go, it remains to be a deliberate lie from Inno.
Is that what everyone is losing twice as many troops as they should in this tournament?Belay that, the tournament is a complete disaster after Inno's "Rebalancing" attempt. Stay away.
I can guess we can expect at least 2-3 more years of very aggressive business schemes such as the ever-present RNG (which also gates us from getting our hands on the Teleport spell, which we'll need to play from now on, given how much space will be required and how little space is freely available
It was an honor to play with you and I am genuinely sad to see you go.
Its just incredibly sad. I remember a time I came home thinking "Yay, I can play Elvenar now!". Now its "Crap, I need to check into Elvenar. Lets get it out of the way so I can do something fun."
I did reply to you in the fs, but looking at this message; I doubt you got it Just wanted to sadly say that I will be right behind you out that door. I have decided to wait a week or so to see if I can find a new game that looks similar to how things used to be here (and share the info with our fs folks) and see if a FA gets ready to start so I could help my fs's with that before I left, but I really think that Inno will change the FA's now or shortly to do similar workshop and manu requirements and mess that all up to.

If not, best wishes and I SURE hate that Inno made the choice to ignore what everyone was saying. There are many of us heading out now because the game is a chore now and not a joy!! ;(
