Players have been asking us to handle the Spell Fragments surplus,

Hmm ... can't recall ever having a surplus of anything, nor having the audacity to complain about it!

I think there was a scrolls surplus a couple of years ago. That was fixed by a massive over-reaction that smashed scrolls productions, so all good there, based on the Inno methodology currently on display.

What surplus, those that had 5 or 6 moonstone sets maybe so a tiny minority.

Most of us struggle to get enough to craft and now we cannot even upgrade our AW;s this is Bull excrement

No one is running a frags surplus of 600k+, which would allow them to upgrade a single AW from level 1 to 35. I defy you to single out a single player that has a frags surplus of 1.2 MILLION+, which would allow them to upgrade 2 AWs from level 1 to 35. Or 1.8 MILLION+, which would allow them to upgrade 3 AWs from level 1 to 35.

Your reasoning is duplicitous. Players may have been asking for more ways to spend excess frags but NO ONE was asking for a single AW to cost 600k+ frags to upgrade to max.

I honestly don't understand why no one is dropping hints as to how this frags shortfall will now be addressed. Why wait until players have quit before finally showing that all is well? Or is it the case that there is nothing in the works to address the shortfall and it's just a case of "tough, deal with it"?

EDIT: Ah, the new in-game sale is valuing a measly 3k frags at 450/500 diamonds. So there really is no surprise in the works to resolve the sudden frags shortfall, is there? It really is just a case of "tough, deal with it". Watch your player numbers evaporate as that realisation sinks in.

But I am on your side

I guess that solves the mystery of which player inno modelled this "improvement" on

Yes!! I was also thinking that. They were going to check a whole lot of random cities, did Stucon first and then got distracted

 

[BlueBlou]

In one of my cities I do have more frags than Stucon showed, and a lot of CC. Struggling with sentient goods there, so can’t complain about the change for that city. Certain wonders asked a lop of sentient goods to upgrade previously.

Are they perhaps trying to retire the game?

That's what I am thinking.... (

They just made my Endless Excavation completely useless, used to give me a ton of supplies for scouting now gives relics per mystical object and I have tons. Why change things after 7 years.

If we could convert relics into spell fragments we might get somewhere.

 

[owl76]

If we could convert relics

Nooooooooooo! You've said we have too may relics. Inno will now find some utterly inexplicable way to leave us insufficient relics.

Oh carp, you're right.
Sorry about that

I don't Trout you, seems Bass not to mention what a Kipper Inno is making currently, my fellowship is flabbergasted, wow @Silmaril @Herodite do they want all the older long time players to quit the game???

 

[SkyRider99]

Holy Exit Plan Batman! Maybe that has been Inno's insidious scheme all along. And we have just been too used and abused to notice it.

 

[SkyRider99]

my fellowship is flabbergasted,

My FS is usually too out-of-touch and inattentive to say anything. They are probably blissfully ignorant at this stage, although I tell them about these things often.

But for my part, I can assure you that my flabber has never been more gasted !

 

[SkyRider99]

Those numbers seem impossible to little ol' me. Daily crafting costs were keeping my numbers well down, and the replacement of SFs and CCs from the Spire was niggardly and slow.

devious, nasty, and abusive method

@Silmaril again from feedback, maybe support gets tons of requests but there they are not discussed with other players of the game so any right minded company would ask here first for feedback, maybe the "spotty teens" now in the development room after @InnoGames fired a load of people last year don't see that either, oh Discord, and there is not used by the older generation that actually play this game for more than 3 weeks.
