I have a suspicion that the gift we received either yesterday or possibly saturday may have been the second half of the compensation.
I suggest for those of you short on time skips get tower bashing like a mad thing its not much but it will give you a few i got a few hour skips from sands and fire and probably have about 30 hours worth of 5 minute skips.

if the pack yesterday was the compensation then they can shove it where the sun dont shine...
might get a few skips that way, but we need the nomads to get the boosters

Hey everyone,
As mentioned in another thread, apologies for not being around yesterday, I was actually off sick, but I'm here today!
I understand where you're all coming from, and I'm letting the team know how you feel on a constant basis. I'll let you know about the compensation package as soon as I have more information, as it should arrive today.
If there is anything specific that you'd like to talk about with me, do let me know. Please don't think I'm keeping you guys in the dark, we're doing our best to sort this problem out, and I'd like to personally thank you all for being so patient with us whilst we do.
Best regards,
Steve.

Hi Steve
I do not think you are personally responsible but you seem to be the only means of communication with GGS right now. You are perfectly entitled to be sick but GGS should have ensured that someone was communicating with us. We have lost the benefits from Nomads and thus the winter cast points. Samuri's are so short is is ridiculous and since the package (which hopefully contains all the rewards, especially chests and skips, that we would have earned in nomads) has not been provided most do not have the skips to attack the event so cannot really take part. The feedback from your players is that people enjoy nomads and samuri's and are finding the FI less enjoyable. So why would you have such short times on the enjoyable parts of this game and longer times on the things we don't enjoy? That seems counter intuitive as what will happen is more people will stop playing.
You may have noticed that there is a ruby buying boycott taking place in GB1. Maybe if we stop paying GGS to play things we don't enjoy then perhaps GGS will listen and then achieve the following:
1. Communicate with it's players in a more timely manner
2. Install updates that have been properly tested but also ensure that support staff / CM's are on hand for issues.
3. Listen to the people paying your wages. We do not have to keep playing this 'game' if we stop enjoying it.
I look forward to the 'package' and home that it actually is a compensation package as opposed to the insult that the other package was. The error on nomads has ruined many events and may ruin the winter comp for many too. Remove the FI and put in a 3 day nomad and 2.4 day Samuri to finish and allow people a chance to regain the balance you have thrown off with the poorly implemented update.
Regards
Cheryl

This pretty much says it all - have had members complain to me that they now wont be able to complete the Ice Championship due to FI not being the strong point . Not because they cant attack - just the fact the castles have been that poor they haven't gained enough glory and the amount of time it takes to hit one castle just massive outweighs other events.cheza2000 (GB1) said:

A lot of customers bought up losing rewards from the actual event but the Ice Cast is much more valuable to members to keeping a balanced server lets hope its not been fully ruined for the customers.

In another thread. Steve has mentioned :
6) The event durations are only this short right now because of the Ice Championship, to add some variety to the event. The same goes for the order of events too, if we had them in the exact same order every time, the Championship would be way too easy, and the element of surprise/fun would be removed.
Location for this : https://community.goodgamestudios.com/empire/en/discussion/300029/all-the-problems-and-a-list-of-demands-for-ggs#latest
Only problem is -- I class the events as Nomads /Samurai/FI as the 'Events' - This would imply FI would also be short which it is not and hasn't been ,
As Leader - I have the duty of care to keep members in my alliance updated. Wasting time here trying to understand whats happening... especially after missing that first compensation package due to not knowing and it having a time limit.
