Roll back age

[Korp]

let me help you, its good for the game! its When you ****ed it up badly, its good to throw in a bone as well to make up for peaples hurtness, else they just go somewhere else..

But then, there is a reason why this game is loosing 10-20% of its playerbase an age

Swearing isnt very christian, what would your people say if they knew on the internet their priest is being rude and swearing?

This situation hurts small and new kingdoms worse because they are the ones recruiting and teaching new players. New players that had to sit through freeze, then protection, that may have gotten to attack once and are now sitting bored and confused.
The top tier rarely deals with absolutely new players. Their players are already hooked on the game and will play no matter when and how it starts again. They may complain but they won't just quit and find another game.
That being said, for the new player that really wants to learn the game and isn't easily deterred this can be a great opportunity to learn a lot more. While in protection a lot of options such as thievery and war room are not visible. Now you have time to look at all the different thievery and magic operations, learn about all the functions of the war room and look up things you don't understand or ask your kingdom mates.

Guys cmon, this a game, every 3 months it gets an update, this time around it contained a bug, devs had to pauseand fix it, they cannot just roll with it as then it would really hurt the game as it would be a abuse fest...
Also I don't see what is so big deal, they pause it for 24h, when they unpause it it will still be Feb 2nd so no time lost...

On the bright side, atleast gbp will keep you from going under 300a.

It's not about time lost. might want to go read the posts in the thread.

I read most of them and I still don't see the point.

I feel like this poll represents the % of people who either benefited or did not benefit from this.

Lets get it on!

the only lost here is the element of surprise and the edge to be the first. some wants reset in order to gain that back. due to this freeze time, leets and noobs now have similar advantages. idk if that warrants a reset, everyone being the firsts(and now lasts). some just doesn't care if everyone else are similar to him, maybe the start of age is not a part of their plan getting ahead from anyone else, and maybe, just maybe, start of age is the deciding factor for their late age plan.

Most attackers will return home with the spoils at the same time, pending any racial/pers bonuses and barracks...this delay allows for ambushes for the people getting hit, yes, but really in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather not have to change my prov details (or allow other KDs to change their strategies) due to a reset.

Those of you who woke up at 3am to get a hit in on the first tick, good for you, you got the choice targets and no worries about GBP kicking in to lower your gains. To those of you who got beat up from land grabs, you'll bounce back, and perhaps learn a valuable lesson about protection builds and strategies in the process.

Ultimately, a reset would have the effect of allowing players to test their builds pre-reset and then change them accordingly. While fun to see who can get out the gate with the largest province, the largest offense, defense, etc., we all had our chance.

Methinks the elves, dwarves, and humans seem to suffer the worst of it if they attacked early, leaving less defense at home with armies out. To those players, that's why you should have gone orc ;)

All of this talk about reset would not have come if during freez/pause, you would not be able to hit or do ops on other provs. Cant be that hard to do, as it works perfect before the new age starts.

Just thinking...

Except that was PART of the racial decisions and setup decisions. To so change a fundamental reality of the environment like this.... its crap. If they paused it, they should have locked it. If they had at least done that, I would be less annoyed. Then people are on whatever schedule they are on. Allowing 24 hrs of RL in 1 tick of game time is wrong.

[Sheister]

Oh, I forgot to ask. Are the devs going to refund back the credits for anyone who set sitting? Kinda like stealing if they don't. Its one credit, but still...

This is totally agree with, take for example a really active kd who had all 25 provs hit oop but having most of their defence incoming few hours after oop because they know they only hit inactive kds.. all goes fine close to no retals, but then next tick last 24h so suddenly you get 30 gawds damn retals because you sit on crap defense that now the slower kds had 24h to react to.. Find that mildly annoying.

If game was freezed(locked) or if the game at least just rolled back the last tic i think everyone would be happy again except all the people that abused the situation. (delete them all!)

Id vote for that - If rolling back the tic is possible that would be ideal IMO. Otherwise, id rather not have the age reset, the situation sucks but it would be really hard to say your entire age is ruined because of the second tic oop.
