Reading about the apprentice blacksmith
"You will soon be able to earn Apprentice Tokens during our Long Term Point Events instead of the usual rewards. These tokens can be spent at the Apprentice Blacksmith for items. There will be only twenty seven reward steps when playing on easy mode of which twenty five will reward you with Apprentice Tokens with the remaining two being LTPE boosters. There are thirty six hard mode reward steps of which all are Apprentice Tokens. "
raises at least a couple of questions .
1) earning apprentice tokens in stead of the usual awards........ REALLY???????? no more tools, troops and casts for commanders or castelleans?
2) in hard mode no more LTPE boosters??
Dunno what is going on by GGE.. but they can't fix anything that is affecting the players (too hard to fix the foodbug )
they don't hkeep their promisses about the (still not returend) wishing well. instead of a significant expansion of the equipment storage they only added the lost and found. and at the same time they introduced the gold slurping blue casts which ar filling the storage so rapedly that it should have been increased by at least 1000 to be usefull.
The only thing I can think of is that they want to earn more money on te rubies again..... or get rid of de non ruby plaers totally by this new update

Because for me the extra commander or castellan is one of the main reasons, no i mean THE ONLY REASON, to play the events like Nomads, Samoerai, Bermimond Invasion, with boosters to gather points for the Long Time Point Event.
So this items that can be found at the Apprentice Blacksmith must be really good?! Items like strong commander and castellan equptment, extra tools, extra troops, village coins, construction coins, upgrade coins, fusion ingredients, ect, ect.
I mean, for me it would be an improvement if there is a way to choose your own prices. For example: To choose never to choose any of those moat tools again. :-)
Just play the points and only choose the prices that you want and make commander and castellan complete as soon as possible!
Mmm...
My experience tells me that this would be to good to be true...
But let's see what te start of the new LTPE brings?

WTF??? A little late on bringing back the apprentice blacksmith...
Welp that's a rip to my PvPing because all my armorer tools come from the LTPEs lul. Not that there ever was tons of armorer tools in LTPE. Will have to go back to hammering towers and forts harder, better, faster, stronger.
But DON'T you dare toUCH those tool sales. Or give out 90% sales hahaha

Firstly new skins. PMSL a total an utter waste of time and effort. only about a million things you would be better employed spending time and effort on, but there we are thats just my opinion, not if you coudl actually add gems to the look items then maybe they might be worth buying.
How about fixing the stuff thats not working? what about that for a june update?
how about getting the relik equipment to firstly function correctly and scondly to be actually worth doign somethign with other than sticking immediatly in the bin,
What about the things you promised in Q2 road map or are these now gonna be shelved or delayed? like the FI upgrade, or the ruby bonus loyalty award?
I hope to god you have brought in a new way to earn the upgrade and constrution tokens because frankly the outer relm fiasco is about as terrible as it could be, and every second i have to spend in there it feels like a second of my life that is totally and utterly wasted, and makes me want to turn off this game and never come back to it.
You know you on a loser if you basically have to blackmail players into playing an event they cant stand in order to progress on the bits of the game they do enjoy. Just stop it.

I have lost all confidence in GGE in what they do , what they say , and what they will do , everything about this game seems to be a con. I will not give up what i have built , but i will take anything thats free , and save my cash for things that are worth spending on SUPPORT are not worth wasting time on there dead wood in this game. They bring out new stuff without fixing previous stuff , it as if we are fools .
Promises broken time and time again.
But what i cant understand . If they got there act together they could have a great game, VPN ISSUE, MULTI PLAYERS,
PLAYERS USING DEAD ACCOUNTS. ETC ETC.
I dont know what to say ,they show 10 players banned because of bots , why because that loses them money , the rest mention above is okay if they spend money GGE dont care. if this is not true GGE prove it

New update?
I only spot more look items that have not any effective use in the game
and more new bugs while the old bugs are infected with new bugs, good working features are broken , build items, by people that have no clue what they are working at, a alliance smithy that is unreachable when you reach level 70
a broken wishing well sitting the to be beauty and still available for new player to build and to find it to be no more than shoplifting.
Its saddening hopeless
best would be to euthanize the dying patient

Just WOW...…..
Take away the rewards from the LTPE and instead give the newest "token". Instead of getting tools, troops, boosters, gift packs, gems, feathers, PO Item, and a decent Comm / Cast....we will get the Apprentice Token. While there are much fewer levels, I am going to guess that we will still need to achieve the same total points. So, work harder, for fewer rewards. PERHAPS the Apprentice Blacksmith will be similar to his last appearance, and give decent Comms/Casts. But, how many LTPE will one need to complete to get enough "tokens" to get the best one? Once again, SLOW the progress of the Non-Ruby Buyer. But, this DOES explain the Relic Comm/Cast "update". They added that first, to HOPEFULLY make you not miss the LTPE ones they planned to take away.
I find it VERY interesting that this was NOT seen on the Test Server. I bet they knew it would have resulted in a resounding "What are you thinking?!?!?! Just NO! DON'T do it!!!" that they would then ignore.
I just may need to start spending more time in INT3. At least things make sense there...…...

I like the apprentice idea.
I dislike the relic idea in general, as well as you have seen everything is already unbalanced as it is.
More tools is also not good, as they just push the limits of expensive.

Please Read the above comments and create the appropriate discussion thread ! making the ltpe easier with less pages - worst idea ever - i've nearly completed it twice this month and am only coasting at present !
WE don't need more fecking tools we need the bugs fixing - ps might be a bug in storm but will need to check again later - looks like the commanders moat bonus's are not working - or might be a display bug !

I just don't understand why they keep giving us new things and fixing things which doesn't need to be fixed.
This new relic building. We don't need it!
We already have plenty of relic stuff to build and upgrade already.
Changes to LTPE? Who asked for this? We don't need any changes for LTPE, that event is perfectly fine as it is.
Please stop trying to change/fix things which doesn't need it. Give us updates with contents that actually matters. Like making berimond beatable again or what about the wishing well which was been dead for years now despite countless promises that it will get reworked?
Give us what we want and stop working on things which doesn't need to be worked on.

To be fair, I vaguely recall people saying they would prefer to be able to buy the commander they wanted after a series of garbage cast/com sets. Mind you that was once for about a week eons ago.
I fully expect a reaming on this rework...If they had just replaced the equipment rewards with apprentice tokens and had the apprentice shop open all the time I would be happy with that.
Now what do you think the odds are that these will be the same tokens as before? I think about zero.

yes they are all very very very busy trying to fix the bugs they have made making changes that no body wanted, meaning that not only does our game experience decline from an in game perspective having to deal with lots of stuff that doesnt work. Our chances of getting a sensible answer from support all but dissapears as the poor buggers are desparatly trying to clean up the mess the development team keep making, but unfortuantly the amount of excrement that keeps falling down, is simply higher than any customer support could ever deal with!

I am guessing they are also way to busy to correct the horrible decision to make it significantly harder to look at your messages. Its rare that players have 100% agreement on something but this one was a no brainer.
I still maintain that no one who has ever played the game would have deliberatly made the one button thats used more than any other in the game, so much more difficult to access. So from that I have to conclude that the person whose Idea it was has never played the game, neither has he person who programmed it, as they would have said hold on are you nuts? and neither has the person who signed the change off and allowed it to go through to production.
Which to be honest tells us exactly where we are in the game today. The fact there is such a huge dissconnect between players and developers shows us why the development team are pulling in one direction and the players are pushing the other. What is important to players is clearly of no importance to developers.
They have zero clue which features are used most frequently, or whats important to players. They constantly ask for feedback in so many different forms, why I have no clue as they constantly ignore it.
I genuinly feel sorry for the customer facing employees in this organisation, as they are constantly having to apologise for the lunacy of the decision making from those that sit in their plush offices seeminly totally insulated from whats really happening in the game.

All this whining and carrying on as though any of you will have some impact on the game you seem to delusionally think of as yours. Newsflash:
1) gge does NOT run this game for the people who play it. They run it as a business to make money.
2) as long as enough people repeatedly invest their real money into the game ( WHATEVER their motivation ), gge will attempt to 'design' toward those items / area of the game where the most in - game currency is spent
3) gge will continue to introduce new features and functions to drive their revenue. if those items improve or destroy your gaming experience is of no consequence until you actually stop spending and / or playing ( threats do not count )
4) please don't think the folks who execute the code or even design the construct have a lot of choice in what they push out to you. They don't. The marketing department has analyzed what and where your money and time are spent .... and place (read as take advantage of you ) development efforts accordingly

Apprentice Tokens
These will be the prizes alright. You will be able to spend them to buy, as an example, sets and decorations of your choice rather than having them prescribed.
Relic Items:
There are a few bugs in the system, these can't simply be fixed from one day to another. We are looking into these and I am hoping that we will solve the majority of them soon.
LTPE
This isn't going anywhere, we have just changed the way you get awards as mentioned above.

Let's see how the apprentice tokens work. I will take screen shots of the current LTPE and then compare what you win from it, with what you can but from the apprentice. Somehow based on previous experience I suspect it will be less!
And having seen the monthly events plan for June, then can I just say how helpful it is never to see thorn or underworld when you are working on achievements. Would love to give GGS money for the last food flag but unfortunately I have to get there first!
