Shrines Activate May 7th!

Realize I'm operating on very little info, but I'm wondering how this event will be achievable to anyone except the top players/clans in the realm? Have you guys leveled the playing field in any way?

 

It's really for the end game players. They probably don't want people quitting because they have nothing to do but farm the smalls.

 

Lol thanks for the realness Hermione

 

Lol, I just try to imagine a TH 5 trying to lead rally against a TH 25's march on the mini shrines or stronghold, lol
My militia will totally kill those...what are those things called knights? And why are they royal??? Eh, Oh well, Here goessss!!!

 

You will have a reduce shrine rally rein march cap, this will help to offset LB players with 2-2.5mil reinforcement marches.

 

It would be nice if ATA set out all the rules/guidelines before shrines are opened and before people wasted there teleports after new map was initiated and teleported them randomly but hey maybe it is not too late to give people another teleport and have a post or pm with all the rules and guidelines of shrines and hopefully the removal of all the hit restrictions between island and main land but we will see

 

Also, by allowing the person who owns the stronghold to dictate what the rules will be for 2 days is just going to make people quit the game. Who wants to pay a 10% tax on any gathers or resources gained from attacking to the biggest clan in the realm? That's just dumb. Activity is going to come to an abrupt halt. Nobody is interested in working towards making the top clan richer and more powerful than they already are.

And I thought y'all were in this to make money. Won't be spending any...in fact I would like a refund on the money I've spent. So disappointing. This game was fun.

 

The game is more less finished now Top 3 clans will get all the benefits while the 197 clans will get nothing im thinking ATA don't give a so time will tell in less then a month as i see it there will be alot of empty townhalls within a month's time and ATA will be kicking themselfs in the for making a BIG MISTAKE oh well money going down the drain on there behalf

 

Ruler of Realm 27 here, DictatorRiley ex. FuhrerRiley. I can't speak for the other realms, but I chose to give all benefits to the realm instead of taking the Tyranny route. I hope more choose to go down this path to help spur growth for their realms, but it's hard to say. We had fun with the event even though it was buggy as hell for a bit there. I hope the system gets tweaked some more adding some fairness to it. Better rewards choices for positive Realm growth would be welcomed.

 

Dictator Riley, I salute you. Unfortunately my realm ruler wasnt feeling as benevolent as you!

Honestly, what is ATA even trying to achieve by offering this ridiculous tyranny tax?!?

The strongest players get stronger, so why would they spend more money on the game when they're already bossing everyone else?

The regular players get weaker, relatively, and they'll be less likely to spend money because the gap between the two groups has widened so much as to make it unrealistic to cross that.

 

Top three clans are allies. So yeah, kinda sees how these shrines will work out.

 

And just makes it impossible for anyone to get near those people in the end game zone... Has the potential to disengage a big group of players.

 

Inactive till that stop stealing my rss by a tax i never agreed to. What is this game the fat get fatter whilst the average player gets s@@t on. Principle over plunder, stop stealing our 10%. If you dont like this, stop hitting monsters and gathering rss let the game die unless they stop this bias system
Principle over plunder...

 

Are these shrines going to be a permanent part of the game? I'd like to know how long the tyranny is going to last and decide whether I will keep playing or not. Thanks.

 

I'll be gone before long. It was getting stale and now Its just boring. Big round of applause for the top three clans who will benefit from this constantly. You'll need all the help you can get when us smaller f2p people fade away.

 

I understand that the stronghold and shrines were designed for top LB clans and it’s fair that whoever manages to capture them, should enjoy their benefits.

But why penalise the rest, who have no chance of ever defeating the top clans and holding the stronghold?

The Tyranny tax may be a small amount but I don’t see why the people who depend on hunting/gathering should pay ANYTHING AT ALL to make the strong even stronger and perpetuate this cycle of tyranny..

It is obvious that every ruler of the realm will choose Tyranny tax as it is the only thing that actually benefits their own clan.

Unhappy with this bs and will protest by staying inactive till this rubbish lasts!

 

I didn't choose the Tyranny Tax though. I'm Ruler of Realm 27. They honestly just need to better the benefits of the realm bonuses. Right now the Tax just looks too juicy to give up which is sad. I'd rather my realm grow.

 

Our leader said they got 10% of the 10% to split across their entire clan. 3-4m of each of the rss to split 50 ways in the first payout...and when you send goods, it gets taxed as well.

 

This shrine update is ridiculous for mid and lower tier players. I understand this is more geared for top tier players/clan. But dont impose a debuff in this case a “tax” realm wide. This further compounds the top tier players/clans already superior strength by giving them even more reward to become stronger while hinder mid/low tier players from actually growing at a regular pace so they can wventually be competative. You guys should have implemented bonuses to troop damage/speed/ability or dragons or even bonus rss production/gather/protection. This would allow the small players to grow while providing incentive for the top clans.
