    Shrines return Saturday at 2 pm PST with some fresh changes:

    NEW Shrine LOCK OUT functionality
    - Whenever a Rally Leader recalls or is kicked off a Shrine, they are Locked Out from leading a Rally against that shrine for the current capture time +5 min.
    - Rally joiners are not impacted by Lock Outs, and they don’t prevent joining rallies.
    - Kicking a player off a Shrine now guarantees a window of time before they can attempt to recapture, so strategically choose which Shrines to hold and when to attack your enemies!

    INCREASED Troop Bonus from Mini Shrines
    -Now a 50% bonus to Knight or Pug Rider Strength from each Mini Shrine

    UPDATED Decrees
    - Bountiful Harvest: Boosted Resource Gathering Rates, Production and Protection Caps, with extra boosts for the Ruler’s Clan!
    - Open Season: Bonus Energy Regen Rate and Monster Hunt Strength for the Realm, even more for the Ruler’s Clan!
    - Tyranny Tax: Tax for all Realm Gathers and Hunts, with no tax on Ruler’s Clanmates!
    - War: Increased March Speed and Rally caps for the Realm, bigger bonuses for the Ruler’s Clan!

    We complained about this a month or two ago.

    The majority of the player base didn't want it. The majority of the player base can't DO anything about it.

    Again, why, for the sweet love of god are you guys planning to make the strong even stronger while giving them the ability to practically leech off of every player of the realm? WHY.

    Shrines benefit nobody besides the whales, since anyone that's not in a Tier 4 clan can even compete. Why are you even doing this?

    With perfect timing, ATA decides to implement this halfway during All You Can Slay.

    Might as well rename the event to "All You Can Leech" for the shrine rulers, should they (obviously) pick the tyranny tax for their own benefits.

    ATA could give a lesser sh*t about anyone who can't realistically compete for shrines.

    Nice response to your customer, ATA. Are all of your consumer-facing staff so professional in their interactions with customers or do you generally keep the snark between yourselves at HQ?

    If everyone was polite to the poor support guy who has to answer every single ticket you wouldn’t get snarky responses

    I'm not a fan of the Tyranny tax...can't they do something that benefits the clan but doesn't take away from others? (Ok, 10% isn't a life altering number that will stop me from growing, but I don't want to give away anything to people who can fend for themselves already...) Like...no one even looks at shrines anymore except those who can actually compete in them. Heck, they even rotate who wins in most realms. They did away with the mini shrine bonuses which was nice to have and made it so that bonuses are only on the cores...then they add back the tyranny tax. No bueno... but hey...what can we do but complain and hope ATA decides to stop hurting the little guys.

    They bolstered the mini shrines again with a 50% knight or pug bonus each so well that’s one way to make them more attractive

    ATA are a joke company, money hungry apes 🦍 nothing more. They will cater for the wallet warriors and crap 💩 on everyone else. I have played pretty much all of their games over many years (no longer play your game ata because you suck). Honestly just quit the game like I did, and when the game fails like many of their games have done just sit back and laugh at the idiots that wasted their cash...

    Ata have a technique, they will run copy paste events, change the pics and avi but the events are so unoriginal and just repetitive as hell. It’s cheaper for them to do this crap, and any of the other events are catered for heavy spenders that’s all. Once the game is self sustaining ie they have enough idiots paying frequently they pretty much let it run itself, they’ve done this in all their games. Bad mechanics, basic generic bad game, crap service, ignorant to all the average players and the prices are so OP damn play another game guys not the pay the play/ pay to win games AtA now make. 1star on App Store, wish I could give 0

    How they are still convincing people to play let alone pay is beyond my comprehension. I guess the age old adage is true “a fool and his money are soon parted”.. This game give absolutely zero satisfaction to a average player, dedication, work, time are things that will not benefit you. You’ll remain irrelevant in this game and don’t even think you’ll touch a shrine, you had better dump 1000s if you want that. Such a big joke, so sad it’s legal.

    We have the same three clans who get all four shrines every single time with the same single player holding Realm Ruler every single time but twice.

    The rest of us have just accepted it.

    It was kinda bearable without the Tyranny tax but now it just sucks. There's not a single way to play the game without making your opponent stronger while the shrines are active. The only smart move is to lie dormant until shrines are closed.

    I do understand that the point of the shrine system *is* solely to gift the huge p2w players. I mean, it is what it is.

    That said, as someone who has spent a fair amount of money on this game, I would have to advise new players to either be a whale or spend little-to-nothing on Heckfire. Seriously; even with $100s, you'll never catch up enough to get a shrine. You have to have 300mil might just to join a top clan now. Don't do it. Don't bother.

    As for me, I'm going to play casually until they nerf the free so much, I get bored.

    Shrines were designed for “end game” players

    Yep, the only people that like these features are the wallet warriors and brown nosed people. These people keep saying “ it’s a end game feature”, when in reality it’s just stupid, and makes the game PAY TO PLAY!!!

    @ATA don’t advertise this game as F2P as it is NOT

    Dear ATA,

    Instead of creating a Hampionship shrine capture event, wouldn't be easier to simply gift ChuckNorrisKing with a bunch of free ?

    Seriously, I honestly don't care if you just select the top 4 players and gift them all a bunch of gems, it's the fact that you're basically handing the entirety of this "event" over to them by including the shrine capture segment as part of it.

    Please just give them extra free crap just for being the top 4 instead of tallying extra points from their shrine monopoly scheme into the event.

    I’m assuming you’re a little confused but the entire “hampionship” is every realm competing against one and other. I haven’t seen chuck win a single ultra event this hampionship. Currently he is at 158th place in the pvp event with 10,674,207 points and first place is DILLIGAFu with 505,343,866 points.

    The shrine event is a flop we all have already brought that up as only a minimal amount of players in each realm can 3* it.

    That's why I don't understand why they'd incorporate the shrines into the event at all. Like, it's kind of a given that only a few folks ever get them and hold. It just seems like telling people "don't bother being competitive because there's a whole segment of the event that doesn't apply to anyone but these three clans."

    I'm not complaining that the whales get the shrines, it just makes no sense to include that failed feature into the that *is* fun/working.

    As long as the other realms are just names on a list I really do not feel the whole «compete against other realms» thingy.
