Why would you need rubies to play that event , you do not need any rubies or money at all to do well in that event.HONORED VOYAGER (US1) said:I dont think shape shifters belong in this game at all..

I think that the Shapeshifter Event resets too many times for a relatively short period of time. Reset the event only once every 3 days for a five day event? Like maybe make the first reset after it has been 3 days into the event and 2 days left for the second half? I think that this however might also require a 5 days x3 Shapeshifter events to make it work out, because while reducing the number of times that it resets would be nice I still think that five days only once per month would take too long to get the complete set.
Another alternative is to make the event reset once every five days, but also make the event 15 days long again instead of splitting the event into 5 days x3 Shapeshifter events per month. If the Shapeshifter event were to take place only once every month for a relatively short period of five days that would take three times as long to get the complete set than what was previously planned which when you do the math on average is about 15 to 18 months for top players and possibly 3 years for players who do not do as well in the event. While it could be argued that 15 to 18 months is fair for top players who are most likely going to be ruby buyers as well it would not be fair for players who rank lower in the event that possibly could take up to 3 years or more possibly to get the complete set that costs insignias.

it should be 15 days and each time be reset in 5 days cuse 2 days is realy not good and thats only a way to force players use more ruby tools and speend ruby for that

Most annoying event and biggest distraction from other events. Make it go away or put it in it's own kingdom for those that might possibly think it is worthwhile.

Please provide us with a way to opt out of this fiasco. Tired of all of the red boxes when I'm not participating in the event.

Maybe put them...in their own planet.... Or better yet... in another one of GGE games let the aliens steal cows from Big Farm game instead of bothering our valiant warriors just as idiotic ...somewhat like DarkChris64 said... does not even belong in the Era of kings/ Queens and Noblemen
.and there is Always... a ruby price... maybe not directly but in tools n such..
Keep your tinfoil hats on folks.. Stop the maddness!!! Alienz dont belong in Royal world..IMO not your best idea GGE

just a scheme to get us to use more tools, spend more rubies etc. And to make it even harder to finish that commander. All the developers care about is $$$$$$

Rotation is trash. 15 days straight was amazing.

I think that part of the problem was the 15 day straight without any resetting would be an imbalance to Goodgame Empire because of it not being fair for players who are unable to get top 100 or better in the event just because of players in the event who got lucky and are able to stay in the top 100 or better ranking. I am perfectly fine with the event being 15 days long, but also have it reset twice? Like once every five days for a 15 day event? I would definitely agree that having the event only five days long and once a month would take too long to get the complete set that costs insignias. Either that or the 5 days x 3 Shapeshifter events per month so that way it will not take three times as long to get the complete insignia set.Dark Venom (ASIA1) said:Rotation is trash. 15 days straight was amazing.

I can agree with the imbalance part due to it being more luck based, but with rotation there is half a day with no payout, and the first payout is in the first 12h which has an even more biased effect to those who would be sleeping, working or just unable to log on and a 3 day event is actually 2 days of payouts and 1 day of waste.David Noble (US1) said:I think that part of the problem was the 15 day straight without any resetting would be an imbalance to Goodgame Empire because of it not being fair for players who are unable to get top 100 or better in the event just because of players in the event who got lucky and are able to stay in the top 100 or better ranking.

For a rotation you'll need 1/3 more payout seeing you're missing 1/3 of it now. So first is the same as top 25 practically.
Correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't been active but I have been looking at the event and it seems to be like I said.

So my actual thoughts on this event.
The event is exploitable. I have 300k might with equipment a few titles and 1k troops. I take out all equipment and decos I now am a 90k player. So suddenly I'm playing against castles with no defense and get easy points. So with a theory brought to my attention by other forum users, 2k points for every fully loaded attack on 80 troops. Maybe more if less troops.
Watching videos of legendary level 800s play they seem to be with the best of the best, ruby cast and 10k defense. Leading to 800 points if lucky. So obviously there is an issue with that too.

This is very disappointing.
The last 15 day iteration of Shapeshifters wasnt perfect but it was better than this. Our mid-table alliance had something like 5 or 6 out of the top 10 and about 10 of the top 30. Apparently that was all down to first day luck though? Even though some of us were getting these scores half way through the event, not on the first day, and without manipulating our might points. Ah well.
The last SS gave us motivation to defend properly (reduce amount of points our top 10 competitors can get get) as well as do risky attacks (to get a good set and sit near the top for as much of the 15 days as possible).
Now we are just going back to 32 man hits on hardcore (gives better return in terms of tool/troops lost) and some of us leaving castle empty (to make us less attractive to hits outside SS in general). Hell, I dont mind evacuating when I see an incoming SS. Might as well give the other guy lots of points. Doesnt matter to me now I'm not trying to get in top 10 and they aren't a competitor.
Getting the comms is going to take forever now rather than 8-9 months previously expected. Assuming you continue to give them away with Royal Quests, I might as well just get the comm through that and do the bare minimum effort in SS.
