Why our alliance can't take a free capital; there is no possibility to do so?. We have allready few citystates, but to where that influence goes after that 8 hours time?

There has been such an influx of players to the event right at the start that the map was too densely packed for the Capitals to spawn. We have put in place a fix for this and now you should have had your capital spawn at the closest available space.

in ten days there really isn't the scope to grow enough players sufficiently to make this event effective.

Players should be specialising their castles to attack or support and not just try to level everything up. There needs to be a high level of coordination and organisation for this event and that even extends as far as building up your castle.

The only coordination required is for the top spending alliances to make sure they have their 20 top spenders in the same team low or non ruby players have no chance in this event and the difference in rewards there is no time for most players to build up their castles never mind spec it for attack or support.

The pure amount of troops required means you need to race through upgrades/levels this requires a lot of rubies the idea is a good one the execution has been poor though.

And you just know that next time round everything will have changed so all the strategy you have built up can be thrown out the window.  Again.  Just like with OR.  Yes I understand that changes will have to be made for the game to be viable, but let's just hope the goalposts don't move too far, too often.  A lot of my members are already suffering OR-fatigue and this is so much more complex.  I hope you haven't outsmarted yourselves this time, GGS

untill now this is all i get when i try entering the horizon

[5080726] Wasso (INT3) [INT3] :: Oct. 25, 2019, 5:28 p.m.

It still takes several minutes to stare at that screen before it loads.  Hit the button, then take a bio-break...……..

Still our alliance don't have a capital; how we can get it?. find free capital, but nobody, even leader can't get it. How it is possible

[5080747] Wasso (INT3) [INT3] :: Oct. 25, 2019, 6:28 p.m.

You don't capture a Capital.  It is assigned to you.  Have your Leader check his Castle List:



It should be there...…..

When I return from BtH (Beyond the Horizon) my display timers are stuck.  Twice now to confirm.  The troop travel timers (specifically in Berimond) work before going to the event, and do not after returning.  I have to shut down the browser and log back it for it to recover.  

HTML5 issues I suspect.  

If only they had tested this somewhere.  Like on a Test Server…….

[5080786] sir o the wise (US1) [US1] :: Oct. 25, 2019, 8:02 p.m.

can you capture city states from outposts?

[5080791] Alderic (NL1) [NL1] :: Oct. 25, 2019, 8:09 p.m.

and the links don't work how they should. Cannot connect. great.

That leaves me with no info at all and way less interested in even participating.

DEAR GGS STOP messing WITH FOOD PROD/STORAGE THE GAME IS SO INFLATED... THERE IS WAY TOO MANY PPL LEAVING... YOU CANT JUST DROWN ALL THE NON RUBY PLAYERS WITH PAYWALLS ITS JUST GROSS AT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY STAND A CHANCE...

[5080795] bernhardt (US1) [US1] :: Oct. 25, 2019, 8:27 p.m.

Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz oh what a relief it is to know that GGE's track record of late remains untarnished.  Another event that has no balance and requires no game skill.  Just get the biggest ruby whale defender you got to be king.  There's the strategy.

All the imbalances of the OR have been improved:  They're more unbalanced than ever.

You in a small alliance on your server?  Bend over some more.  Sure they(CROM - but he gets lied to too) say small alliances will compete for their own rewards but don't specify what they are.  Why must the players in a BtH alliance originate in the same parent alliance, or even the same server?  Playing with people from a different server in the same alliance is one of the few attractions of the OR.

The cultist towers?  RB towers with beefed up def, but the payout is the exact same as before...At a lvl1 tower nearly half of your coin reward is used on travel to the tower, and that's with a minimal attack force.

Overall:  Neat idea of making it an alliance working together for a single reward, but horribly unbalanced execution to win rewards that shouldn't exist in the first place(Too much food at the top of the game as it is).

You have to let the game load for about 10 minutes before you can get into the event. If you have a second screen, you can open a new page and get into your main acct while the beyond the horizon screen loads.

What about players who are unable to do any of that? I can't specialise myself to attack or defence because there are no coins to build troops with and no way of earning them except for buying them with real money unless you're willing to dedicate 24h of your life farming robber barons and still not be able to make the cut.
