Topic: stable users

Most posts are on speed and all the problems it has, so why is there not stable players trying to get stable improved. It is a slow game, most players are on vaccation for 30, 40 plus days, new players build their villages so bad because they don't know, for example I saw a village that had 3 farms in the middle with barracks all around the water hole, iron mines no where near iron deposits.
Most of the top 100 players belong to strong clans so no one attacks for fear of reprisal, so how about all stable players start posting how to improve the game.

They have been waiting for months for the big reset.
But since the big reset is based on speedrules and speed doesn't work, the reset is pushed. Now speed doesn't work and is death and stable is boring and slowly dying.

Re: stable users

Stable is big enough for that though.
Also when stable resets we have to hope it doesn't go down like speed....

The easy part was getting the brain out! The hard part was getting the brain out

Re: stable users

I ehar about a fictional reset since I joined but nothing happens. So can someone tell me what happens on a reset, to me it sounds like we all go back to the start, which I would object to, I have spent money buying runes, moving villages, and supporting the game with having a premium membership since I started as I believe this helps the game. Lately I have not seen any development on stable, so is my money supporting speed?

I do not understand why a new game, seperate to stable was built before stable was made a great game. the developers should be aiming to improve the original game slowly but constantly so we have a game that is not slow and boring, so why make a new game when the old one was not up to a high standard?

Re: stable users

Well they have a process. It starts on beta, then to speed, and finally when EVERY bug is fixed, it gets put in stable.
I understand your concerns about runes you have bought though, maybe they should contribute to some kind of bonus for every reset.

That would be a great idea, if you have supported dolumar finacially then yes you should have some sort of reward if a reset happens.
Why would anyone start a new game full of bugs, they had a game and introducing 1 change at a time without bugs and created based on what the players wanted, would have stable way ahead of where it is now without bugs players happy no arguements, sound very simple to me.

Re: stable users

There must be a information page on what new players should do. I wasted a lot of runes, resources and time before I slooooowly worked it out, even now I am not sure of certain things, like how many upgrades before I get another outpost, upgrading various buildings what do I get etc. So new players should be given a full explaination of what to do. The worst I see is a village in the middle of nowhere with no resources anywhere near the village.
I am also in favour of limiting clan numbers, for example if I was a newbie and slowly got to a ranking of 200 I would be looking for a clan, so what do I do, seek out the strongest, so the strong clans get big eg Thors hammer, world champions and the smaller clans fade away.

Re: stable users

There is a tutorial to learn the most important things how works this game. but by the  last step they recommend to attack somebody with 5 soldiers!! that's a joke. you can't win with 5 soldiers a battle. that should be changed to a real good recommend. i can imagine new players try that often times and everytime they lose. may be lot of players will already stop playing at this point.

but the most important are clear instructions! and that should be easy to make. takes only a little bit of time. but i'm sure much more players would stay if the could right understand the game. i read it every day on netlog page: "how can i build a barrack?" -  "what happens if i grate up my castle?" - "how can i attack somebody?" and so on.

i mean stable how it works now is good for players who haven't so much time to play and should be stay like it is. but new players should be able to realize there are another 2 servers with more speed, different rules, weapons and so on.

Re: stable users

a reset means everything goes back to start, a fresh new server. every server will eventually get reset. eventually, there will be an end-game mode that determines a winner and the server shuts down for a week or 2, to come back as a fresh new server.
but, once stable gets reset, it will be using the game mechanics of speed, only difference is that it will be running at normal speed. "speed" is a 3x fast server. if speed is still bugged, we obviously cant apply its code on stable, once we have a reasonable code base, stable will be reset, and updated.
the reason the stable server is not receiving any updates is because it's using the old game mechanics, it will only receive bug fixes, but no new features, that's what stable servers are about, they receive features only when they are 100% bug free. i would advice you to google for "programming/development life cycle" and read more about how beta/stable/experimental software gets developed, and the interactions between the 3 products.

just that guy... remember him? didn't expect you to...

Re: stable users

ok, again no answers! i told you a lot of the meanings of smaller players and whats wrong here to hold them. also i told you about the problems of the new players via netlog. i think the biggest part of players and newcomers go here via netlog (german, swiss, dutch and so on). if you ignore this fact it will stay like it is now. a handful of big active players. but than don't cry its boring!!!

this was my last posting here!

good bye!

so once again when players are crying out help it's going wrong here, you ignore them, but when we discus what is wrong with the game you keep saying the game is fine, it's the players.
The players who try everything they can to help the game and putting themself on the second place, cut back in having fun, trying to help in saving/fixing the game, which you gladdly pis of in chat or even laugh at when they tell you in pm to you as mod they did this or this for this of this reason, not sure I can be punished for this because the rules aren't clear. And when players ask for rules you answer by saying the cheaters give us a headache because I pissed them off, I can't control them, I give a bad example (in chat), I did nothing to try and stop this when it was getting out of hand and when players cried and begged for help, which you still keep ignoring.

Re: stable users

Re: stable users

it's sad that every topic ends up in blaming the mods and admins for every possible mistake lately...

Stable didn't last, goodbye Dolumar.
mods can delete this account if they want to, maybe they'll do something usefull for once.

Re: stable users

Perhaps those complaints need to be looked at?
Up till today there has not been a sign from any developer sad
I think the complaints about a moderator should be handled by someone else then the moderator in question. big_smile

Anyways, i know of somebody with great powers who can make this forum readable again! big_smile

Your village is 38100% bigger than the defending village. You will probably lose 90 honour by attacking this village. If someone of your clan attacked this village earlier, every clan member will lose honour.

Re: stable users

Enough putting complaints of whamra onto every single post topic, especially if its not started by yourselves. Please have bit of more respect for the community as a whole as it takes so much time away from other important things to have to read same thing over and over. Also Whamra is not the only administration or bug worker.  He can only do so much at once. He is trying to address the topic creator. Reposting it over and over everywhere will get you know where wolfie. Please stop.

Re: stable users

only this last.
it wasn't personality or special against whamra. he is not the only mod. it's almost nobody ever answered my postings in different threads.
but it's not the matter. i play the game like it is. and if i'll have no more fun i'll stop playing. it's very easy. big_smile

Re: stable users

I'm not saying I agree or disagree w/ Whamra but @ least he's on the forum every day...1 way to make stable better w/o mods/devs is get rid of all the NAPS/alliances...I almost always have to attack someone 5 clans  below me b/c of this..which in turn only keeps the bigger players big and the smaller ones small

The idea of the alliance of THG and Hurricane is to allow them and the players in it to grow.
If you too would like to grow you can either join them and enjoy the safety or ask for an alliance with us as well.
We (The Honor Guard) are trying desperatly to encourage people to grow.

Your village is 38100% bigger than the defending village. You will probably lose 90 honour by attacking this village. If someone of your clan attacked this village earlier, every clan member will lose honour.
