It's only for twenty four hours so it will make those commanders obsolete during that time, they are still fine afterwards

Can buildings still be destroyed?
It seems to me, and I know I seem to be the odd-man out often in these topics, that this is the next and almost final step to ending PvP. If there is no fire, there will be no PO loss. This means no reduction in production output and speed. There will be no repairing. These are many of the reasons TO attack a player's castle.
Since the goal seems to be to not "hurt" the one who was attacked, the next step is that the Defenders shouldn't die and have to be replace. OR the attackers for that matter who happened to be in the way. "It is such a bother to log in, only to find all my soldiers have been killed! Yes, I know we are in an Alliance War, but I shouldn't have to lose my troops!" Same for looting resources???? "I lost way too many wood and stone in that attack! And the Glass will take forever to recover! I shouldn't have to lose my resources!"
I can already see the announcement coming that "In the interest of fairness, ALL attacks on Player Castles have been removed."
This is almost proof, that GGE will be an Event Only Game...…..

Whilst I understand why the target player might be pleased not to have fires to extinguish when attacked and defeated, I am a bit puzzled at what the purpose of this "fire free" day is actually supposed to be.
Unless this is something GGE are trying out with a view to implementing it permanently in the future much as it is in Beri.

They likely want to point to it and say: "We tested this new feature to overwhelming positive feedback! Therefore we are implementing as part of the next update." Any actual "feedback" will not be read, or taken into consideration. But, there is no way to counter what they say happened, so they get to say what they want.

How about the Fire Station? Are those going to be purchased back from GGS???? Not the most common building, but I still see them from time to time. That is a Ruby Building that will be made obsolete when (and it is WHEN not IF) this gets made permanent.
I get that it is nice to not have fires when you log in. But, isn't that what Defense is for? Honor points are nothing but "bling", no real issue if you lose them all. With there being NO negative impacts to a loss, other than resource depletion (and this will also get removed EVENTUALLY - mark this date / thread for future reference) there will be no need to Defend. Just stash your troops at a Safehouse when not online. When you Are on-line and have incoming horn, just send everyone out on a march.
The day is coming that all troops will be Event Only Troops that don't eat. There will be no Defenders. Resources will not be able to be looted from player's Castles.
This will be a build and event game.
To quote the mighty Do-Do Birds from the Ice Age movie: "Doom on you! Doom on You!" Doom on you.......

This fire effect is perfect. I can finally do whatever I want and alliances can't even burn my castles to punish me. With good luck, this will become permanent. Now when my defenders are away capping low levels OPs, people cant burn my castles to starve me out. Perfect for my alliances motto!

Oh great, another excuse for unsporting poor behavior that will lead to even more boring ruby powered 'competition.' In recent months I've greatly reduced the amount of time, effort and interest I put into the game. Why? There's a difference between challenge and futile in attempting to keep up with the ever widening gap between heavy buy, occasional buy and no buy. The only people happy are the heavy buys as long as they're not going broke.
I'm with @Wasso (INT3) that we won't be listened to. Also, while we here in the forums understand and get sarcastic comments, the powers that be at GGE take them as confirmation that their plans are brilliant.

This whole thing is bullsh*t, and everyone knows it. Burning people has been the point of many wars, and many PvP hits. All this will do is enable the absolute azzholes of the game to support more troops, and be jerks without any real consequences. I am not a fan of this at all. But as already mentioned, the player base wont be listened to, and within the next several months this will be implemented into the game.

I'm not able to access the webshop as using an older version of flash suitable for my p/c - where were the details for this announced ? i know off topic but don't want to create another thread - does this mean i'll no longer get the 200% offers as well ? - looks like my money is no good these days !Crom Cruach said:Just check in the webshop offer tabs, some of the pop-ups have been removed and placed in there.

I wish there was some kind of converter for time reducers, it can be annoying to have too many 30min and 1h so it would be nice if there was a tool where u could convert them to 5h or 24h and then use it for research. it takes alot of time to skip 140h research with 1h time reducers. and it's not healthy either.

Disagree with your statement greatly. It lets people do whatever they like without threat of retaliation. Loot is nothing when you can build up something with hundreds of hideouts. You don't lose troops since you can just send em off. You don't get burned because... well that's what the effect is.forestw (AU1) said:The No Burn Global effect is great!
