did they reduce the number of steps? @Highway

what steps?

 

[Igaflys]

I see the list got reduced once again, is it what active offices (?) (sorry i forgot the name) means, and how they works? It got reduced bcs less ppl applied in elections? But on the other hand is 33 not quite big number? Why did it got reduced? Is there a specific number of people who applied so that the system will make more offices? (for example 50 ppl). Also why it suddenly got reduced when 33 players joined into election and expanded when only 12 players joined into election? (last one i dont have photo, its from my experience and i didnt took ss bcs i didnt thought it will be needed)

My first feedback.

In general, I really like the update since the town hall complies with being fair and nothing manipulative, even this new system is more fun and exciting (at least for me).

But there are some things that could be changed or added.

• We need the statistics to be updated several times and not fixedly. Only the percentage or average of fame. The reason is so that we can invest fame properly.
• The interface of 'last result' is very simple in design and needs to be improved to make it look attractive.
• When we earn a charge, at first we don't know what charge it is, since the game doesn't tell you directly in the 'apply for an office' tab. We need something to let us know that we have successfully earned our office.
• It seems strange to me that sometimes we win positions in very low elections with a lot of fame, but in high elections we win an office with little fame. I think that will not be the case when the act. is online but it's just a curiosity that I have.

It seems perfect to me that the townhall bases its factor on the active players on a server, since it maintains a proper balance between players invading other servers. This is due to the demand for fame that increases when there are many applicants in the town hall. But it's still something we need to watch carefully when the update is officially released.

• What items would you look forward to being added to Silver Lily's Emporium?

como dijo @Pleiadian We need the surprise factor. We need never-before-seen rare skins and clothing to make collecting silver crowns worthwhile. Also items to shape the game world for all players There is a lot of potential in lily's emporium, so make the most of it. After the PTR I'll probably make a list of ideas for this kind of thing.

 

[- V O R A -]

If this updated gets deployed, I would like for the election stats to have mini descriptions of what they are and how they work to help guide players. Like most other items, we can access the descriptions by hovering over the statistic.

what steps?

seats

I love how people use my style of feedback now

if that would be dynamic the server would burn
no it is on purpose to make it a bit more strategic, with each new information you have to reevaluate your current fame.

You say that it will be strategic for us but if you check my post above, I don't see any strategy in these number being static despite me changing my fame investment.

That's like me being blindfolded, trying to throw a dart at the wall hoping I'll get the bullseye.

I'll say it again, the fact that it is static doesn't benefit anyone.

Almost nobody that have tested the Town Hall want it like that. These values needs to be changed as we are changing our fame investment.

If left like that, it's simply displaying inaccurate information.

This small detail which have a big impact needs to change.

I do see the idea behind this execution. Here's a suggestion to make it better.

Let the Election Stats be changing until the last moment.

If we take Sheriff election as example.. Let the info be live and dynamic while the election is still running, but 3 hours before the election conclude, any change would not be reflected on the Election Stats.

Information displayed(Election Stats) is more useful than what we got now on PTR.

Information will not be "inaccurate" while modifying fame— except for last minute.

This will create more tension and suspense while the elections are about to conclude.

You assume that the information displayed would be the one updated every frame to stay in realtime. but if you hover the mouse over it you see below at the timeline when the information was pulled and given for that moment.

To go with your example you get put closer and closer to the board to throw your dart and you get aimed at it. you make it look like you would be without anything, which is not really the case.

how long do you estimate will it take until someone claims he can not win election because the stats are not updated up to the ultimate end of an election?

That gets me curious, what makes an ui that shows the winner of the previous election attractive?

It seems strange to me that sometimes we win positions in very low elections with a lot of fame, but in high elections we win an office with little fame. I think that will not be the case when the act. is online but it's just a curiosity that I have.

that would mostly be because the ptr was crowded while everyone hat to start from ranger on, live it will be different. also as it is not possible to jump offices that you never reached the tings get a bit tricky.

The current one is too big, when i click the top part and drag it to the top of my screen to look at the bottom part of the ui, then when I try to go back up to close it, it just get stucks outside of the screen( I have small resolution) unless I press P or another key that changes the Ui. Basically It's just huge and you get lost looking for information in it. This all happened because of dynamic seats I had to go pretty far down to look at the list when there were 50+ seats

It would be attractive if it was smaller.

 

[Alewx]

funny how you say this, the real developer are themselves participating in full elections and wasting tthe bid fame of people bidding for higher elections and yet they can increase there fame how much ever they want. while we suffer and it happens only in my election xDD from moving from deputy to marshall i was blocked by a dev and lost 135k fame just to get assistant deputy again

totally not true, I just didn't waste 1 mio fame for ranger

Why don't you use higher resolution? I have seen that most of players use low resolution for no useful reason. Higher resolution lets see everything better and screen isn't "trashed" a lot.

 

[slejd2001]

As for me its good enough. Better keep it simple and understandable, than "attractive" and complicated. Maybe its better to not change anything since it could get worse.

 

[Rav3n]

and there was no other way to compete against 99+ people bidding mad fame ofc it was either bidding that or loosing elections , its a strategy but ofcourse now ur in my elections

 

[Rav3n]

also why is there no withdrawl option atleast before the deadline goes , we should get the option to withdraw if we wish to . dont u think @Narokath

In previous iteration of the townhall was a abort application option and it was just not working, it was only inviting to abuse.

Cause lower resolution gives me better fps than higher resolution. Just not that great of a pc things.

how is exercising the right to stay in an election or not an "Abuse". if you could just please explain sir

Clans were pushing ppl into the townhall to scare other applicants, and just right before it was locked the scare players canceled their application.

 

[Pleiadian]

you make it look like you would be without anything, which is not really the case.

Personally saying, not winning anything or winning the same office is pretty much the same for me. I care more about winning the Sheriff's office than collecting Silver Crown— nothing interests me in the Emporium.

Speaking from a player's POV, I would like to progress in the Town Hall hierarchy rather than win the same seat.

Well, if we rely on current Election Stats, that's like winning a seat depending on my chance, since I cannot accurately predict what seat my application will land on. There's no guarantee of progressing upward once I put my fame.

Fame gets consumed and we have to retry that election again to win the desired position.

how long do you estimate will it take until someone claims he can not win election because the stats are not updated up to the ultimate end of an election?

Not sure If I understood this part correctly, but players are already asking that those Stats be lived and changed.

Most of the negative feedback has been about the Stats.

so your implying factors like fear,judgement,responsiblity of ur own action also comes under dinostorm jurisdiction? other applicants still had the choice to stay but it was their decision. i dont find any abuse here

I agree with alewx xd no one forces players to apply in the first place though, thats their choice to apply but it will be locked once its done.

Cuz once I was forced to be removed from my gov from enemy side (they forced me in a situation where they threatened my clan to freekill them all so I had to remove myself for the sake of clan) so alwex is very right.

that was for the suggestion that the stats would no longer update in realtime once a certain timelimit is reached.

it was still ur choice to leave. you let others get into your head thats your inability to not stay strong lol.and if we dont see the drama which has nothing to do with game mechanics should still be independent and these cases barely happen.
