I doubt it. Shapeshifter is an event and not an alliance. Although it is supposed to be stimulation of pvp it is not actually real pvp for various reasons. Their are some noticeable differences between the Shapeshifters and real players and especially if the shapeshifters are going to be limited to only the Great Empire, having no outposts, and only attacking main castles. Also, not only do the shapeshifters most likely do not have auto war, but also other alliances will most likely not have auto war be triggered as well when shapeshifters attack them even if they have auto war turned on.

mnh if tools or defenders not lost can set up 30/40/30 and all limes or throwing nails with 100% melee - would kill a lot of attackers !

 and if PvP during event leads to complaint - refer them to ggs dev team - WORST IDEA EVER !

 no , at most 2 waves would just lead to moat tools being needed a lot

Honestly, starting out thought we were going to have a third FL's.... But looking at it, I like all but one aspect. The troops being the same, I don't wanna waste tails on a castle with 8k troops then realize 7k of it is offense...

Few questions...

1. How often will this come?
2. How long will it usually run for?
3. If the defender loses nothing, does the attacker get resources?
4. If the alliance can not support, can they see the horns?
5. How many people would have us as targets/do we get battle reports for defending? I would not enjoy it if I left for 8 hours came back and my inbox was filled with defensive BR's from this event.
6. Is the cooldown 24 hours, or do they just reset every day at a certain time?
EDIT: 7. Does the defender get glory in the battle?


EDIT: I also do like this because it gives the defender a chance to try new setups without losing tools/troops in the process.

Do you have any answers to these questions?

Essentially what I'm saying is I'd like an opt out and for my actual castle not to be used in this event.  
I asked if there was an opt out but I dont think there is..


[4865551] Shares (AU1) [AU1] :: Nov. 15, 2017, 1:58 a.m.
It is simple, every attack I send will have no tools or wood tools as I could care less if I lose. I don't actually lose the troops.
If you dont lose the troops why not send the very best possible

GGE gave us the forums to voice our thoughts and opinions and we did.

We've talked about wanting the Royal Capital back and we get this instead.  Doesn't sound like GGS knows how to appeal to their potential costumers, and they wonder why people are quitting and slowing their spending?

Ha! GG can't be that stupid right? Well... prove me and the other critics wrong GGE.

They combined AT and RC together to make this monstrosity.

I'll be very surprised if we see either event ever again if this one isn't removed like they were.

Not speaking as a moderator there, just my personal opinion.

Goodgame Studios being dishonest then? They would be lying to us if they had said they were planning on returning back the Royal Capital event along with the Alliance Tournament eventually, but never return either of these back into the game. Also, both of these events were also fun and enjoyable as well before both events were taken down. The question remains does Goodgame Studios really want to fix the bug problems with the Royal Capital or are they too lazy to fix it? I would not be surprised if this new event will also have bug problems as well just like other new events that were recently added into the game. At least the Royal Capital event anyway should be returning back eventually since the problem is only bug related. As for the Alliance Tournament it is far from certain whether this will ever be returning back into the game or not even though it is one of the oldest events in the game.

You will lose tools when attacking. So you send your very best horrors with wood tools so you only lose the wood tools.

1-2) Finding out
3) No resources
4) No
5-6) Finding out
7) I don't believe so. Nobody gets glory, just the token and point things as far as I know.

@Herveus (AU1)

Anyone hitting me will be committing suicide for their troops (at least they will get their troops back) and losing all the tools they send. I will put 10k+ KG D in my near op and move it in every time someone sends an attack. Since I lose no troops or tools I can do it every time. I guess I will get a chance to try out some new defensive sets at the attackers expense since they still will not win the courtyard even if they win the wall.

[4865618] Friedrich IV (US1) [None] :: Nov. 15, 2017, 9:42 a.m.
@SteelSlayer (US1)
Full list:
1) Will be released in event schedules when the event will happen
2) Will last for a few days like other events
3) No
4) No
5) In theory up to 5 other players may attack you in a day
6) Castles will reset around midnight to be attacked, there will not be any specific cooldown. You will have all day to attack all 5 castles.

I said 4 years ago we need a proper Alliance market where you can place or sell unwanted tools and equipment , then the rest of alliance can purchase / at a discount - the unwanted items !

I'm always selling stuff even with the increased space ! - or is it because i might be spending a tad too much time on here :wink:

I BEG the differ. If I spy a target like diz and they don't change it, I WIN win even with 4 waves only.

Provided you can man the game 24/7 during the event.
