Wow, something I agree with Helen on. You aren't getting any huggles though.
OMG!! Elmyr agrees with me???
Better mark this one on the calendar... lol
How about a little huggle? :laugh:
Are we serious?! 10 items available, without any prior notification, without anything? So what I should do is stay awake 24/7 and keep logging in and out of the game so as not to miss anything? This is what you call healthy gaming? This is what you want us to do?
This is just outrageous. This thing was released after midnight here!
Yup Musa... But they also made another 20 of them available... There are still a few left in some worlds. Apparently Dakota sold out pretty quick. The last release was about midnight-ish my time (I think).
introducing overpowered items for high nuggets is'nt good for gameplay , and that's what suffers in these deals , i think the games already had enough damage done , shop products for a start have put a big gap over the prem and non prem players .
the xmas tomfoolery showed just how much some players are willing to spend (some worlds had a highest spin number that was hard to fathom) ,but the advantages in the new sets is massive ,and definatly a big advantage ; my point , just because there is a market within the player base that will spend high amounts , is it worth that the overall player base feels unfairly treated because of it ,i think inno should start to look at thier p.r ,because the 4 yrs ive played this game there's (in my opinion) been some real blunders in how players are treated , it's arogant and .net i think has really suffered in player numbers .
I really couldn't agree more... The gap between Premium and non-Premium is getting worse with every "update"... What Inno doesn't seem to realize is... If you tick off the non-Premiums enough by making the game so unbalanced, they will give up and leave. We're already having issues with filling fort battles... Especially with onliners. I remember the great days back in w10 where we had 100 onlliners in over-full large fort battles. Now we're having issues filling a small attack on the "active" worlds. I believe a lot of non-Premiums have given up because of the huge wedge between them and the Premiums... and our overall numbers are suffering.
What would really be nice is a hard quest for them instead, the rule also would state no premium till you finish it! But you cannot get the items while in premium.
<snip>
If any premium player says anything about the hard quest of being unfair, just go non premium for a month.
I doubt many full Premium players could stand to go non-Premium for a week, never mind a month... Also, they already bought all those SP and AP... Which are permanent Premiums. So, it still wouldn't be "fair".
Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with this one, it's so superior to other items. I understand Geronimos for Hassan's case (kinda) but this is just crazy lol.
also damn why they gotta be $50
can't decide which server to buy on!
I did consider buying one when I did finally see it available... But then realized it would cost me about $62 CAN. So what world would I buy it on? I decided... NONE. If I had 2k Bonds, I would get it... But I'm not about to buy it with real money. I have plenty of other things I need in real life... No way I'll spend that kind of cash on a bit of pixels in an online game that seems to be in a downward spiral. I still may wind up leaving if more people I know leave.
I am sry to say this but this is the end.....this is how other game end up only whit few hundred players on each serv and whit only 30-40 active.Even those taht have premium,but don't spoend mroe then 20-30 euro per month will fell insulted...this is to much.Putting this kind of items on the market will make happy lets say 40 players and really unhappy 2-3 k at least.Nice move INNO.Lets see the numbers oft he accounts being deleted in the next few weeks.
Thx guys for simply making a a fun and pleasent game into a really pain in the ass.
Inno doesn't seem to care about keeping the players happy... They only seem to care about bringing in as much cash from the peeps who are still playing and willing to pay.
none available at dakota ofc they prolly were gone again in no time, if you release such an item why keep it limited, no one walks around with 2k bonds, thus its a pure nugget item
if you introduce it keep it atleast available in shops for the nice sum of 2k bonds so actually people who don't wanna spend 40 euro's\dollars\pounds on 1 heap of pixels can get it as well after a long and excruciating build up to get to 2k bonds
I totally agree with this... It should be made available so that EVERYONE has the chance to get it. Even if it takes some players a longer period of time to get it... They at least have the chance to work for it.
But tossing out an item that will give a big advantage to just a handful of players is a bit much, pretty lame in my opinion. It feels like this is becoming "the one with the most money wins" game.
<snip>
My apologies for drifting off subject, as far as this declaration of independence is concerned, in my opinion this is the most bone headed idea in the history of bone headed ideas.
To somewhat quote a previous post, wonder if inno does think about anything else besides ChaChing!
It seems that the game is moving away from being one where you gain special items as the result of days and weeks of work and questing ... to one where you can gain whatever you like as long as you have enough real life dollars to spend.
Wallet warriors FTW.
I totally agree with what a lot of other posters have stated... (vitamin2002 and canufeelit too) The fact that Inno only cares about money and the game is turning into a "Pay to Win" game. Wow... I even agree with Felicity!!!
:laugh:
This really pi.... me off!!!
<snip>
How come you keep making these unfair things?? The players are online at different times, and people are logging in at different times, due to job / school in real life
I have played for more than 3 years now, but I am really serioiusly thinking os quitting now. This is no fun, that only a few lucky players, get them selves boosted, and others dont have a chance.
Unfortunately... You aren't the only one who is teetering on the edge of leaving the game. Seems that Inno really doesn't care as long as it can milk as much cash out of the game as possible in the short term. If they were concerned about the long-term effects on the game, they wouldn't keep introducing "Pay to Win" options. Again... If they keep treating the non-Premiums like cannon fodder, they may wind up losing all of them. It's the "cannon fodder" that fills up the game to make it worth playing. If there were only people here that paid to play, the population would drop drastically.
:tumble:
Well, at least I got a server message about the fact that they had been available, at some point. I never saw them (not that I can afford to buy one as this is not my pay week).
The bottom line here is this: If ANY item is made available for outright purchase (meaning not earned through hard work/questing or from a luck drop, or even purchasable on the open market) than it should be readily available for ALL players. Period.
Non-premium players already feel disadvantaged enough; I'm sure this item will only widen the canyon-like divide that already exists between Prems/Non-Prems. And limited availability? Like the 2000 nugg/bond price didn't already limit the availability enough??
<snip>
So why don't I just go play a different game you ask? That's a great question...
Partly because I love the old west (and this is a stand-alone for it's genre); partly because of the friends I have here; partly because of the enemies. I love the struggle and the sweat and the edge of your seat "OMG they're gonna grab the flag" moments of fort battling. I love finding someone out working innocently and saying, "Why don't you go have a nap in your hotel?" as I duel them into a lack of consciousness. I love random luck and quests and grinding out products to build a bigger, better fort. I really love it all!
<snip>
The end result is that Inno has left long term players such as myself questioning whether or not I wish to continue financially supporting a business who is capable of such a horribly short-sighted business decision. And that, my friends, is where the real trouble begins to brew...
Dean... I totally agree with everything you said... From the non-Premiums feeling disadvantaged to the reasons you love the West. Okay, maybe not about trying to get products for forts...
I decided to stop buying Nuggets back when they added the ability to buy skills to w11 and w12 (after those worlds had already started). Actually, that was the beginning of the "Pay to Win" downward spiral of the game.
I would have left right after v2 hit .net if it wasn't for the people I have met and consider some kind of strange, eclectic, dysfunctional extended family. lol You know I lubs all of ya... You're just as nutty as me! *HUGGLES!!!* (Even for Elmyr!)
BTW... Just out of curiosity... Can we get Zet back?
:unsure:
