Again tho, this is a specific bldg Nerf .... Inno is now saying the following :
We gave you Ashton Phoenix, and we are not only Nerf'n it to nothing, but
we are also going to penalize anyone who doesn't have a fully evolved one.
The effect is a gamewide Nerf, to anyone who didn't know they need'd it
and converted artifacts, or anyone not here during that event to get the
Ashton Phoenix. The Leagues themselves is the "vehicle" for the Nerf.
Event Currency is now hard-wired for only paying customers, or those
who get "really lucky" ... to just complete an event on thier own...
To me .... its Simple .....
If you complete ALL 75 tasks, and only take 12 drops a day ( 2 visits full )
you SHOULD be able to just barely complete an event, without and Luck
involved.... If you don't want that many ppl to finish, make the tasks harder.
Prob is the old players, can always just boost/spell thier way outta it, while
newer players cannot......
Triumph of Tides also shows us all, if the trend continues, that from now on
the mac-daddy bldg in an event, will be nothing more than a slightly better
daily prize bldg ..... Thats Rediculious !!!!!!!
Before, by evolving, you gained things ya got..... ie- reg/bonus production
and then xtras ... ToT basically gives you 4 choices all the way thru ... So
for the 1st time, a fully evolved bldg isn't necessary .... the difference @
Stage 7,8,9,10 isn't that big .... You should be getting in some way,
reg, bonus, & xtra no matter what by evolving up the chain, and there
should be a Stage 10 xtra, not available any other way than S10.
If you're gonna give more choices thru evolution then why not like this :
( what I might see as a CH4 player )
S1-3 : choice of coins or tools
S4-5 : choice of non boosted T1
S6-7 : choice of troops
S8-9 : choice of non boosted T2
S10 : choice of KP/coin rain/tool rain
(Yes in this senario a fully evolved bldg would get some of 5 things.)
Yes as someone described, they are happy with alot of 1 thing not some
of many things, but if I compare ToT with say Witches Hut.... the difference
is big in what you "don't get" ..... Every fully evolved bldg I own, gives me
@ least 3 things, and if combined would be double what ToT gives min.
Why would I want ToT , when Pilgrim Woodworks or Stone Mason makes
more per day, than any of my ToT choices are ..... for a much smaller footprint.
even Watchfull Winter Owl puts ToT to shame, or Wise Golumn, or Witches Hut...
do I need to keep listing much better Evolves ?????
This is a 2 part problem ....
1) ToT is too nerf'd, and poorly implemented on choices
2) Leages/Ashton Phoenix have effectively Nerf'd the game back to a more
P2P environment, and this seems to be the trend for the long haul.
