I guess the host of the q&a session is still ill or more likely in hiding as that person is hoping to brush this business under the carpet and they are hoping the angry masses go away so they can continue to update the game only for their gain and its demise


[333244] Trogdor (INT4) [INT4] :: June 15, 2021, 3:34 a.m.

Another day another post still not caving in to GG as for me and mine we not competing in events and no buying from GG till the blacksmith tier tools is fixed. If we starve GG out they we have to fixing the blacksmith update I know they probably just remove my post again but I refuse to stop posting till this is fixed.

Still waiting on that Q&A to be rescheduled. you can postpone it but it will not change the fact that this game is dying because of the blacksmith tier tools update. Even wild animals are smart enough to realize when they been beat and will chew off a limb to escape a trap and live but it seems GG has no common sense at all or they would realize they are killing the game and cutting off their own paychecks. Undo tier tools and save E4K before it too late. I'm sure GG has seen a huge drop in activity and income post update.


Keep fighting players across all servers to balance this game and undo tier tools.

Still waiting on the Q&A GG. Still hiding from your customers? Hoping it will blow over well no such luck GG we won't yeild to you fix the blacksmith tier tools or the game will die.

Well , I’m playing a lot less like many others . You can see the change . I think this is a good reason for a lot off players to slowly quit becouse it’s addicting. But I’m on like 30% now . I do the things that r needed and for the rest ( you now what ) . 


[333259] Trogdor (INT4) [INT4] :: June 17, 2021, 3 a.m.

Another day another post I've been posting daily for weeks and GG still won't respond as to why they decided to kill the game. Blacksmith tier tools is retarded. Before casual spenders could compete and have fun using blacksmith to acquire tools cheaply and stand a chance of placing for rewards in events. The few big spenders cried they lost to players willing to log the hours and grind the game. So GG bends over backwards to kiss their behinds. Resulting in tier tools and killing the game. Players are not competing and refusing to buy rubies now causing drops in online activity and income to GG hince all the sales pushing 200% bonuses ect trying to make up for loss in sales.

I mean really STOP ME IF I'M WRONG lamo you can't cause I hit it right on the head.

Mark my words sales will continue to drop, activity will too, and players are already quiting by the dozens daily. GG has killed this game unless they man up and acknowledge their mistakes undoing teir tools.

I'll keep posting till they shut me down, i shut down them, or they fix their mistakes. Don't give up hope players just keep telling GG how bad they messed this once amazing game up.

Hello All.

Our Head CM is still unwell and not able to attend work. We will need to wait for him for the Q&A as he's best placed to advice the Studio on the needs of the players.


Thanks

Red


[333265] -CK- (GB1) [GB1] :: June 17, 2021, 4:38 p.m.

Fair play if he's unwell but more than 1 person can say to the gge powers that be to stop being greedy stubborn selfish ignorant people and undo the blacksmith mess amongst other issues


[333266] Trogdor (INT4) [INT4] :: June 17, 2021, 6:10 p.m.

More then 1 guy is qualified to listen to players complaints and issue and relay it to the powers to be. Shoot my 8 year old son could do it. This is just a stall tactic thinking if we ignore the problem it will just disappear. Well I have news for GG NOT HAPPENING I'LL NOT GIVE IN, GIVE UP, OR SHUT UP TILL TEIRED TOOLS IS UNDONE! As many feel and are showing you buy not buying you products and not competing in events.

GG look at your numbers....

Sales DONW

Activity DOWN

players quiting UP

Event scores DOWN

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this update has ruined the game.


[333268] -CK- (GB1) [GB1] :: June 18, 2021, 5:25 a.m.

Totally agree trogdor it's a stall tactic if one person in my work place is unwell another steps up and fills the space temporarily and does a efficient enough job so it should be here


[333269] BM_Red Phoenix [US1] :: June 18, 2021, 8:20 a.m.
There is no need for the cms to stall anything since 1 interview has taken place with empire players. It was civil and productive and the plan was to have a similar one for e4k.
People do fall sick and especially in the covid situation, it is uncalled for to assume that falling sick is an excuse. No, someone else can't do the session as the Head CM is the designated spokesperson for players and also the person most likely to get any changes we agree on in the session. 
Everyone wants an understanding of the blacksmith changes. The Q&A Session was voluntary and not player requested, so assuming it's being delayed now to avoid it, is illogical.
Being abrasive on the forum only ensures that mods avoid the forum as none of us are look forward to constant negativity. 

Let's keep it civil/constructive here. When he's back, the Q&A will be scheduled again. 

[333280] -CK- (GB1) [GB1] :: June 18, 2021, 4:12 p.m.

No one wants a understanding of the blacksmith changes they want it reversed to how it was which was fair


[333283] Trogdor (INT4) [INT4] :: June 18, 2021, 8:40 p.m.

No one including myself is trying to be "abrasive". If don't like what we are saying maybe GG needs to have a internal evaluation. A company that makes it where when one employee is sick and nothing can get done because one guy is sick is an extremely POOR business plan. As other players stated a company should have backups that can fill in when an employee is sick. It's now been over a week since it was canceled and no new date has been set. Again POOR business model. I am not trying to bad mouth GG but this is beyond ridiculous the world doesn't stop for one sick person. As far as the voice Q&A the only thing GG needs to know is the blacksmith update needs "undone"/ reupdated to before tiered tools and their be no need for the Q&A.

if the teired tools aren't fixed the majority of players on server int4 are threatening to quit as the app lines are saying. GG should log on to the app line for the servers and listen pretty much all are talking of quiting and moving on to other game platforms then GG. Just thought they should know if their not already listening in on them.


[333285] Trogdor (INT4) [INT4] :: June 18, 2021, 9:22 p.m.

I think you misunderstood me ollie I'm not quiting now nor am I asking others to I was simply saying in the line app discussion many are threatening too. I wanted GG to be aware the game is falling apart or at least seems that way to the players. I love this game or at least did before the blacksmith update. I'm simply waiting on them to fix it. If they don't I won't be able to afford to play. But I'm holding out hope we will get this voice chat to let GG know how their bulk of players feel. I want E4K to continue not end.


[333292] BM_Red Phoenix [US1] :: June 20, 2021, 9:40 a.m.

I understand where you're coming from Trogdor.. We care about the game, and it's upsetting when the situation changes to making it harder to play. Mods are in the same boat as all players and get similarly affected.
Although the Q&A session has been postponed for now, the studio is aware of the feedback, which we collect regularly and also understands that the matter needs some resolution.

I am however asking yall to not make our jobs harder when collecting feedback, because its not even possible to pass on some of the comments, when they are extremely sarcastic. We need the Studio to work with players, where both sides get something in a compromise. Will blacksmith ever be rolled back fully to what it was before, I really am not sure.

Besides asking for blacksmith changes, if there are any other updates feedback, let me know.

I'm also planning to start another thread where we work together as a community to pull together some ideas to make the game more enjoyable. That thread is not meant for complaining, but more to gather some game ideas, the mods can put forward on behalf of all players

Thanks
Red

[333299] Crusher 2.1 (GB1) [GB1] :: June 20, 2021, 2:32 p.m.

As a free to play player, I use 30k horsetails for 15 mil glory and 150k khan chests for 500k points. So please can the blacksmith be changed to easily facilitate this. It will make more people want to keep playing and that is what makes the game fun - competition, not wallets. Also, I have to hit a billion barons to get coins to keep afloat and compete in storm and recruit mead troops. This should not be a problem so please can this be fixed, one way is to let people get 500k nomad points without spending. Thx


[333300] -CK- (GB1) [GB1] :: June 20, 2021, 2:44 p.m.

Crusher they will discuss it then because they are stubborn and pig headed they will not revert back the blacksmith as it was but they will try and fool us into a new updated plan which they will hope we believe good but all a while it's no better and again beneficial to gge


[333301] Trogdor (INT4) [INT4] :: June 20, 2021, 4:12 p.m.

I feel like teired tools is a bad move if GG wants to get more money out teired tools where players can cap the teir rewards ie. Nomads 500k and to go beyond that they have to step into teired tools at least make it possible to hit top of REWARDS tiers and then the big spenders can buy teired tool and compete for ranks beyond the reward teirs. I think/feel most player wouldn't complain if they could at least reach the top teir not top ranks.

I as said before I want the game to thrive not fail and if players could at least reach that teir it still makes it fun. Right now we can't do squat without dumping big bucks which drives away the bulk of players being free to moderate spenders and why slot of players are inactiveand not competingin events. They don't not compete in protest they don't cause they don't have tools to compete. Let GG know to at least update the teired amounts to allow us to hit those top REWARDS like "Cruser 2.1" stated above.

esas preguntas y respuestas no sirven para nada, lo único que la gente quiere es que devuelvan el maestro herrero a como estaba antes
