all the winners of wheel of fortune are ript of sinds the new update :(
the new price for nr1 is 20k food extra and is epic lv7
the old price for nr1 is 6k food extra and is only a lv3 that every player esely can build
why are we ript off with this ???????
if you update watchtower and hospitals you upt auto the lv5 and make then lv10
why not the reward that kost me 10k tickets from the wheel also auto to a lv7 and not a lv3 :(
with the new update every one can build a lv5 :(
so if you make a new update  than don't forget the old prices also to up then because this is pure rip off of thousends winners on all the servers who put a lot of money tho win a price that nowane else had
so please up the old price's tho lv7 or give all the old winners back there wheel of fortune tickets :)

to be honest the wheel needs a total revamp, the PO prizes that were once amazing, ie the Strength and honour items, are now out dated, I would love for these to just get an uplift in PO value as I still think they are the best looking item in the game still.  The Commanders and casts are now woefully outdated.  Even the Newer PO items are now nothing special and barely better than the SAM event PO which can be obtained at a fraction of the cost.  Unfortunatly there has been MASSIVE inflation in Casts and comms, over the last year or so and the wheel has not had any sort of Update in a LONG time, in fact the best prize it had was the Crystal PO item and they took that away!!!!  So unless you are a new low level player I cant see why any established player would want to play any more the prizes just dont cut it any more. they just dont make any sense for me,  the higher level items are probably the hardest in the game to get and yet for anyone who has played the game for a while they will simply be deleted as they are so much worse no than all the other event stuff.

They need to come up with a new cast and comm set, thats better than the event stuff, and make the PO items more in line with inflation, IE prob 300 for the Strength, and 250 for the honour, (or equivilent) etc.  Plus if you made one of the segments on the wheel give out crafting materiels instead of green and Purple equipment which anyone over about level 40 will just throw straight in the bin!!!  Then maybe it might be worth playing again, until then......

Yes the food storage is nice but its pretty much the only thing in the event thats worth getting, and is it worth 5-15k tickets? to have a chance ?  not for me.

I got some good equipment from it, and the Sterling & Ram armour, a good couple of thousand rubies too. It's not bad, but could be a lot better.

[4522429] Philt123 (GB1) [GB1] :: Aug. 11, 2016, 4:36 p.m.
see all that equip just gets deleted for me so much better out there,

The Sterling commander is decent. apart from that nothing desirable for me, the sets are not even 90/90

[4522433] The Haunted One (GB1) [None] :: Aug. 11, 2016, 4:40 p.m.
Yeah, that's because you're one of the biggest players in the server and you have all the best comms and casts, there are more people like me who benefit from the equipment than people like you who only benefit from the very best.

The full sets are near impossible to get without spending, and are terrible anyway.

Yes sterling is decent But its still only a 90 -86 comm with 20 flank and +15 troop strength with half decent other bonus, but put it up against the berrimond comms or the FI commander and it doest look so attractive any more.  even against the spring comm or green berrimond commander again it doesnt fare too well.  It was a great comm when it came out, in fact it was only a fraction worse than the "super" commander of the day, and the cost of getting it was probably higher than buying a "super", the super comm of today is the elemental commander, and frankly it cant hold a candle to that or even get close.  It was a great commander 2 years ago or however long it was introduced, but now its at best average  the game has moved massivly during that time yet the top prize hasnt. I have one in storage and it doesnt get into my top 21 commanders, I would have deleted it apart from sentimental reasons and the fact it cost me so much to get it!!!!!

Everything you're saying if for level 70's but you need to remember that not everyone is a level 70, at my level these pieces mixed with a couple others makes a really good comm, the Sterling is fantastic as well and a 70/70 comm will get you very good results with some good gems, so not everything has to be getting better and better and better because we don't need the best of the best comms. As for level 70's. I think you explained that, but also remember, there are level 70's who aren't competing with the top 500 or so people and there has to be comms that are achievable for them too, like 90/86 's which will do them very good. 

[4522772] Philt123 (GB1) [GB1] :: Aug. 11, 2016, 10:55 p.m.
I am not suggesting they are worthless for all players, i put in my first post that for lower level players there was some benefit, I am not suggesting the event is binned i am suggesting that the rewards are increased for ALL players high an low, the truth is this event is really not that worthwhile for higher level established players, the real truth is if you have the ruby spend to be able to get a complete  ram commander you can easily get an fi commander or berri commander.   And will happily fly to level 70 in weeks 

The fact is the top prizes in this event have been hugely de valued over time,  they havent been updated in what a couple of years?  and in that time game inflation has been HUGE, like for like the prizes are worth masivly less than they were 2 years ago.  2 years ago the top prize would have sat proudly in the top player on the server's line up.  Now i doubt they would get in many of the top 500 players on the server.  However you look at it that's a massive devaluation.  and thats why i believe its in massive need of a revamp to remain usefull for all players, as if it isnt then sooner or later it will become totally redundant.  Clearly a 90-86 comm is still usefull for a lower level player still but for how long?  once upon a time building your equip was a massivly difficult thing to do now with the arrival of the winter / summer etc events getting a 70-70 comm can be done in no time.  And the same for a cast.  The game has moved on hugely in 2 years.  But this event hasnt.

I do agree it needs a revamp, but if it was it should become an event where the rankings are sorted into level groups so the prizes can be suited to all levels and not just the same prizes meant to be ok to all.

Agree WoF needs a revamp but tbh a lot of things need a revamp, storm needs one, nomads either needs one or make the hero easier to get. 

[4523141] Philt123 (GB1) [GB1] :: Aug. 12, 2016, 10:39 a.m.
Agreed,all the old events need tweaking, the underworld Commander is horrible.  Especially given its so hard to get.  As you need to do master level which is a nightmare. 

thorn king equip is not good either, and that needs an facelift too.

The problem is the game inflation has been so massive in recent months, its left a lot of the events behind. looking very tired and outdated.  I remember on of the only reasons i ever did underworld master level was so i could get a level 7 gem as at that time it wss pretty much the only way possible to get a level 7 gem.  Now a level 7 gem is nothing.  with 11's and even 12's much easier to get.  Its simply been left WAY behind the times.

[4523158] ShadowOfEvil (GB1) [None] :: Aug. 12, 2016, 10:54 a.m.
Yeah but I would defo say at this point Storm is the most outdated event tbh, a crappy comm and cast, a poor deco for the effort it takes and poor rewards. Only thing good about it is the titles you can get if you win and the dummy peasents

I was lucky as I had no need for it, the last few seasonal events have given really good commanders and castellans for beginning players (I started my second server a few months ago), for the comm, let the Technicus have a go at it and you have a commander that was worth that rather small effort. You can use that commander to pave the way to better ones.
