Feedback Thread · Endgame Part 3 Open PTR Test

isnt that the same thing the devs are trying to do?

I had to prevent the townhall from beeing blown out of proportions.
"Multiaccounts are the plague of the game" by just counting active player, wow that would end up badly pretty quickly.

 

[Pleiadian]

Dinostorm does not have any good content for players who are already Sheriff. So anyone who already won their Rex/ Sheriff will be less and less active.

And in a few years time, I can see you Devs "reworking" this current update here due to this oversight.

Similar to how you're trying to go back to the 2016 era with the Election system, the Balancing update, and the Map changes.

should probably fix the multiaccounts first then

I feel like DV holding gates makes it waaaaaaaay harder for people attacking to gain something, take this screenshot as an exampleView attachment 47304
My clan has 10-20 members active, and only 4-5 buildings are vulnerable, while the attackers have 5-10 people at max. Even if they were to attack all at once, they wouldn't be able to get a single building because numbers still play the huge part, and ''closing'' the possibility to attack every gate, makes the building holders need to focus on way less defense. I get that it won't be the same in the live servers, as it will scale with activity, but I still think it needs to be kept in mind.

It was already adjusted twice before ptr went public. So that is still not set in stone.

basing off how active a server is based on townhall is not getting the full picture

thats why government when lets say for example,trying to measure GDP or things like that they do a bunch of tests looking at different statistics and different ways of measuring,not just by sticking with 1 cuz that why you arent seeing the full picture

But like you say there are multi accounts, people often inactive or coming back for some time then again quitting, the full picture can't be drawn, so they take the townhall as a sample. That's what I think atleast.

To have the election system and the Sites directly linked to the TownHall application is a massive risk you are undertaking for the game.

There is more cool stuff to come to get with tokens that should keep it interessting when already having the rex

As seen on PTR dv took 6-8 gates each map. In my opinion that will negatively affect smaller clans. It would be a good solution if dv would only take max. 3 towers each map.

yeah as a sample,and u can take many more samples

i see,but could limiting how many gates there are to fight for make it harder for attackers to take gates but easier for defenders to defend them? lets say in a server 2 clans are fighting for 1 map,dv takes half now the defenders can concentrate their forces and have easier time defending couldnt that be a problem and counterproductive?

New skins and clothes? or more than just that?

For this we have seomething in place to balance attack vs defence difficult. Basically repair vs drain speed. I can adjust that on the PTR to see how it directly affects the outcome.

New elements you will love

I don't see many other features that include players having to participate in with some sort of consinstency, except maybe events.

 

[IParzivaLI]

You guys really need to understand that town hall is a thing that has an end it ends when u get sheriff and there is no point in applying on town hall so what is this dv holding gates changes anything about applying on town hall or being active

probably the devs can see more than us,they do have the entire data about the game afterall

Exactly, so if they took the townhall data as example they took it for a reason.

 

[Luka Patajac]

Point is what will you do at time elections lasts and before it ends? right now you can hunt for dd or upgrades mostly?

 

[S19]

A situation where a bunch pf players is bullying everyone else into submission or otherwise get set onto a KOS list..... alliances using mutliple accounts and a blackmarket of selling accounts.

In every game there's an amount of toxicity present

In Dinostorm, the toxicity exist due to the competition, and you cannot eradicate that. Even if you changed the election system, what are the changes that will remove a player from "kos" list???/

also, about the topic of dv owned gates, are you aware that it will be a lot of defenders against a small number of attackers? what will change?

edit:

the only thing i see is that you introduced some metric to better show in the clan which player contributed the most. But in the end the power to share fame and dictate who gets to go in election, is still the leader of the clan.

moreover, reducing the amount of tower, reduce the amount of fame that can be steal, based from cosmin example, attackers cannot really do much in his situation. which is very frequent on our servers.

How do you think DV holding gates helps address that issue, though? These players will still be bullied into submission, and alliances will still hold the remaining buildings. All you did is give less chances to attackers.

All this ''Feedback Thread'' shows is that both attackers and defenders aren't in favor of this upcoming change.

 

[..Arcadius..]

Cool stuff as in clothes and skins? It's still boring. That's not new content.

Hopefully the new stuff to come will be something new we haven't had before

this is a feedback thread,but i feel like i am getting lectured more than having my questions and concerns answered

To have the election system and the Sites directly linked to the TownHall application is a massive risk you are undertaking for the game.

If someday the number of players joining the town hall decreases (I can already see it happen), that would result in a massive drop in player activity, eventually revenue.

Linking the amount of sites that belong to Dinoville with the Townhall activity can eventually lead to a downwards spiral. As the amount of sites that players can fight for decreases, the player activity will soon follow and decrease as well. Which in turn lowers the amount of sites available to the players and so on, and so forth. If there is a small amount of sites to fight over, the attacking groups will have a hard time and many may resign. This would in turn make many defenders resign, as they are no longer needed (the attack sizes have decreased so a smaller amount of players can defend the sites without a problem). If there are less people defending the sites, there are also less players that participate in the elections. It's all connected. Are there any servers were the number of seats in the Townhall fluctuates or is there a general trend where the number of seats slowly gets lower and lower?

 

[IParzivaLI]

Dv holding gates only make defenders job easier because there are less amount of gates to defend and more people to defend for each gate you said supply charges and other things make smaller clans lose courage how is this helping them have courage if they get bullied by 5-6 player for each gate

 

[Pleiadian]

One of the negative effects in the long term.

There is more cool stuff to come to get with tokens that should keep it interessting when already having the rex

And I am not a person who has shiny object syndrome where I must obtain said item.

I think you can already have a good insight at how much players purchased the wearables item from the Emporium.

Give or take 1% of all players in all servers only have those items. Because it lacks the wow factor.

So making a new clan and acting different is something impossible, if you get not properly treated by clan leader for the effort you did in fighting for buildings?

This whole post is a good indication how much insight the devs lack in the real servers.

War is about endurence and attrition.

Yes that is also one reason that reducing the buildings will help to balance the channels to gain fame frome are more aligned (clothing fame vs building fame).

On lower populated servers this will mean that clothing fame is a good option against building fame compared to how it is live now. Otherwise to much fame is generated by the buildings for a lower player base while the clothing fame is directly attributed for each player.

no because the way this game works,if you pull off such a stunt,you will get absolutely destroyed and this update isnt stopping that either

with all due respect if we make a new clan and try to act different we will have less players and less man power so that makes us gate-less so we cant apply on town hall because half of the map is held by dv so how can we fight with 5ppl agains 30ppl please explain the sense of this
