Re: Speed/test reset

We will take the current version of the game offline at the 26th of May at noon. At that point we will take a snapshot of the ranking and declare a winner (wonder who that will be). At around 10pm the same evening, the new server will be launched.


I would suggest taking the snapshot a day before and let the players cause mayhem with the troops they have wink

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: Speed/test reset

i would suggest that the winner should not have been in vacation for at least a week before end-server, otherwise, his rank won't get taken into account wink

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

I agree. vacation mode excludes people from the game, and that includes winning.

Re: Speed/test reset

J'approve.

Everyone will leave vacation mode 1 week before the reset (exactly 7 days).

Re: Speed/test reset

That's bull!

tongue

With nothing to lose (since all will be reset) you know all attacks in the last dew days will be nonsense.

Anyways, the crowd on this server may give you the impression vmode is a hideout to avoid being attacked... for some others and for me as well vmode is used cause i can't play.

Re: Speed/test reset

Beta needs a winner too big_smile

Also I would suggest to make the new beta in a non-competitive way.

ie
Can't attack for runes, free runes or weekly resets...

Otherwise people are going to play it for realz.

Δ*D = ρf                   Δ*B = 0
ΔxE = -δB/δt            ΔxH = Jf + δD/δt
and THEN there was light.

Re: Speed/test reset

I kinda thing resetting stable and merging them would help game-play out a little too.

Re: Speed/test reset

i think stable needs to speed up a bit, if it becomes as big again as now, it is too slow for some people... eg if i want to attack somebody, i almost always have to march about a day before the attack arrives... you just can't use the surprise effect anymore... and another reason is that a lot of players quit the game because they don't want to wait so long
i think a lot of players would agree with me, or not?

Re: Speed/test reset

stable speed is very good. it's *normal*. if you think it's slow, then play on speed server. but a lot of people find stable very good for their play times. stable is very old now, of course it's gonna get slow.
but a new stable server will be fast and busy just like any server in its first half a year. it gets a bit slower afterwards, but still very good and playable. after a year... yes, things get grudgingly slow.

Re: Speed/test reset

that's what i mean, in the beginning it is ok, but after one year it gets too much, and not many people like to play a game that gets reset every year...
and i do play on speed tongue and on beta big_smile

Re: Speed/test reset

well.... *ding ding ding* dolumar is not one of these "play forever" games. it WILL be periodically reset. if it can live a year, that's perfect.

Re: Speed/test reset

I suppose the honor rules won't apply in this last week of mayhem?
Or do the bigger players have to lean back like sitting ducks till they get mass attacked?

Edited to say i'm looking forward to fight buggy battles where regiments don't take positions as they should do!!  wink

Turns out it's not good, or in other words bad to make people not like you, especially when you're at the top.
