I am a misery loves company type of guy. As long as everyone is screwed about the same. Overall they are cutting back on KP to slow the game down. The tournament was the second of such KP reduction. They did the same in the event offering less KP as prizes. They went from having 2- 30KP instant days to none to a 20KP instant. Remember when they had petfood? It was a one time shot. I scored about 30 of them. They never did it again. I think wishing wells are a thing of the past too. It would be nice to understand some of the thought processes. Communication goes a long way for retention of players.
I can live with this, the problem is, we arent
, depending on your (premium) expansions and wonderlevels you are more or less screwed.
Well off course I could just destroy all my wonders, but I can't take back the expansions.
And lets say if I could why would I still play the tournaments?
-KP?, I just whacked all that did not matter, so which wonder?
-Spells? Well the spire just got easier since I whack ed all wonders and expansions so the difficulty is gone and I no longer need those as well
-Ranking points?, I just destroyed my ranking because of the tournaments, so which ranking?
-Runefragments? for which I can't build wonder because it shrews me over wonder should I need fragments?
Spire:-
- Diamonds? Why would I need those, as soon as I use them I am screwed
- Frangments? for what? I just said the tournaments became useless, so no need for crafting
- Premium Buildings? I just destroyed my town, I can't use more of them
- Time boosters? No tournament, no spire, no development, why would I need time boosters
Playing the game?
I can't develop my town anymore since it will destroy my tournament / spire
I can't enjoy either the spire or tournaments anymore?
Why should I play again?
What are the goals left for playing?
If every player just got a reduction in the amount of possible provinces I would be ok, it makes sense they ad some kind of scaling to prevent people to do 80-100 or who knows how much in the future.
But this ain't scaling, this is destruction because player A get hampered by 15% the other by 50% and the last by 100%, same player same chapter, same everything execept the difference between expansions and wonderlevels.
and every player will know, if I keep developing my town I'll end up just like all the others that did.
This change destroys what elvenar is in essence, a city you develop, but with this change your development got severly hampered, wnd without development I don't see a game left to play.
