Topic: [303857] The Battle of Empires

[-303857] CM Arcanine [None] :: March 21, 2016, 6:41 p.m.

Lords and Ladies of the realm! You’ve proven yourselves countless times, battling off foreign invaders, braving the treacherous seas of the blade coast, fending off ravenous hordes of the undead, and even colliding with one another in fierce Alliance combat.

Now it’s time to put these skills to the test once again. This time, against everyone else around you!

Work together for the greater good of the Community! Reaching specific goals will grant EVERYONE a reward! If you manage to reach the final goal together, there’ll be a super special reward for everyone that took part. Battle one another in Glorious combat and earn sweet prizes!

It’s simple! Just attack other players and earn Glory between the 10 am CET on the 24th and 10 am CET on the 31st of March! As you earn Glory, you’ll start reaching milestones. These milestones will unlock rewards for EVERYONE, across all servers! If you reach the final milestone, there’s a super special prize waiting at the end.

Absolutely anyone can enter. As soon as you can earn Glory, go out and lay siege to another player, earn some glory, and you’ll contribute towards the goal..

There will also be an extra amazing prize for the most successful player! A  trip to Goodgame Studios, with most expenses covered by us! You’ll get the chance to meet the Empire team, talk to us about the game and experience the beautiful city of Hamburg first hand.

In order to keep the competition fierce, every server has come to an accord for the duration of the tournament, so you won’t see any Foreign Invaders during this time. 

So what are you waiting for?! Sharpen your swords, saddle up those horses and get to battle! May glory shower upon the victorious!

Best regards,

Your Empire Team

Steve I'm a bit confused.  Is every server working together on this or is each server battling against each other for the top prizes?

Haha! Get ready guys, for one day only (when that successful player goes to GoodGame Studios) GGS will be completely fair and actually bothered about their jobs, no scamming, ignoring support tickets

So let me see here, Rubie boycott, people leaving, so lets all attack each other and spend spend spend to win , wait will we win or will it all fall over and we get nothing yet spend a fortune then get told as a gesture of good will here are some wishing well pennies which is what i got offered today for spending £50 on the game and then it all falls over, great compo and I wont be taking it, hate getting screwed out of money when it actually costs them nothing to put rubies or the carts and tools back into your account.

Fed up, annoyed and done with buying anything anymore in this game.

How is most successful determined? 

Might be worth winning this to have a face to face and explain politely what they are doing to this game.
The data they are using to show its doing well is shocking Players leaving left right and center.

Sign me up!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha   great ID, another what??  10.000 players will stop playing GGE ?? Because ruby whales destroy everything they put together with a lot of labor??

[4355473] M.A.N (AU1) [AU1] :: March 22, 2016, 12:35 a.m.

The special prize at the end is probably a 300% ruby offer or something like that

Whoever wins, maybe mikeshot, could probably ask the questions we want to know on behalf of us. Seems like a good oppetunity.

[4355714] HeroPaul (AU1) [AU1] :: March 22, 2016, 8:38 a.m.

I am not one to complain much

But I have new sent at least 6 emails to GGE support for issues with the last two foreign invader events and the 2nd last Berimond event

I have yet to receive a reply except for the ticket notice

Come on GGE please fix these issues and make the game worthy to play and enjoy

Reckon it'll be someone on the russian server who wins, they spend bucket loads on this game

Work together for the greater good of the Community! Reaching specific goals will grant EVERYONE a reward! If you manage to reach the final goal together, there’ll be a super special reward for everyone that took part. Battle one another in Glorious combat and earn sweet prizes!

so there is an 'opt out' option ?

or does it mean you have to go into pro mode for a week ?

As you earn Glory, you’ll start reaching milestones. These milestones will unlock rewards for EVERYONE, across all servers! If you reach the final milestone, there’s a super special prize waiting at the end.

across all servers ?,

so if someone hits another castle, say for instance a friend, then goes into pro mode for a week then they will get ALL milestone prizes from ALL servers ?

There will also be an extra amazing prize for the most successful player!

how is successful defined here ?

I think the concern remains that the effort of genuine players who work hard within the rules and terms and conditions will with this event reward every multiple account and significantly strengthen them in a way that doesn't happen in normal alliance tournaments where at least there is a degree of control from alliance leaders.  Personally I have no interest in working hard for the benefits of cheats and I don't see how in good conscience genuine players can support this overt financial opportunism during Easter week.  

[4356105] ang1243 (GB1) [GB1] :: March 22, 2016, 1:14 p.m.

@Batten (GB1) You make a good point, although don't think it can be helped? Would you rather not get the rewards?

[4356253] TwistedMind (GB1) [None] :: March 22, 2016, 3:20 p.m.

The whole point behind this insane event, that is suppose to have duration of 7 days after 5 days of Alliance Tournament is to set the whole servers at flames...
With this huge server clean up, they are doing like emperor Nero did in past by setting fire to Rome, cause he just wanted a new Rome..
Seems GGS wants to clean up what is "inconvenient" for them also.. To make a new beginning..

It is just every upcoming idea more stupid than the others before. Always full of unmeasured Mistakes!
Seems like a fools contest, to come with the most sad and unthinkable, without using their brains.
Some say GGS is ruled and manage by kids, but no! Kids have smarter ideas of events and nowadays can easily deal with programs without any problem!
So it is ruled by foolish that only think in £.

Handy kit for regular player to survive this event (if it is like it seems a stupid prolonged in time camouflaged alliance tournament):
- do not have defense troops in any of your castles (without defense troops attackers would not get any glory.. so this way you are not feeding ruby whales with easy glory in defenseless attacks) 
(better see your defense troops killed by yourself, than see them feeding others in senseless battles)
(here you can have some fires, but whatever you can live with that)
(do not forget to use up all your resources in castle upgrades, send to other kingdooms, give to alliance, or just use them to make tools of defense and attack that consume a lot of resources.. this time is a good time to re-tool also for other events)
(of coarse you can have attack troops, but only enough for your daily tasks... they wont give much glory if they anyhow are caught by attackers.. and when you log off just send them far away until you return.. distant tower or whatever..)

This way, you do not feed this insane Money Making Machine with loot and Glory.
This the only way to boycott this stupid and sad event!
