• you saw it in your market thread - no more informations are required.

You are right. I do not want to ask why.
Lifetime? Thanks. I really do not need the resources I get from this mini game. I am giant player already.
Its a pitty my guards player todays tournment. The points wich I can not use was subtracted from someone else.
I will shut as required.

Edit - clarification (May 12)
I don't think I have committed any illegality - my posts and transactions are public. I don't ask anything because I read the sentence from the previous post and I have no doubt. I have to live up to my motto...

Quote from Dschibait

yes today there are maybe some points missing on some players - i apologize for that, tomorrow anything will be better.

I accept your apologizes. It was no need.

All the best for my ex opponents.

Um grande bem haja a todos os que me aturaram com as minhas opiniões. As minhas sinceras desculpas se ofendi algum colega jogador - foi com certeza sem intenção.

Quote from Dschibait

The current test run of the guard has ended. We still want to give you the opportunity to receive fame and exchange it for great bonuses.

When it ends?
I thought, from the announcement, that it would be yesterday. I didn't even participate in the auction anymore and the items went to the competition without a fight.Today the event remains and I have already signed up.

The event is ending but is always time for a suggestion. For upcoming events.
The market is not very dynamic. Very few quality items for sale to top players - and even to others. Many players - especially the top ones - prefer to sell to the merchant in order not to arm competition. Sounds like a good strategy to me, but it limits competitiveness a lot.
What if the merchant also sells at auction? Part of the acquired collection is sold. For example by x10 acquisition values. A small part of quality items, only 5% or 10%. Sold a few days after purchase, not immediately. That and limit players' warehouse to 50 places for example.
Good items will hit the market. They will arrive late enough not to compete with the original seller, but they will make the original seller wonder if it would be better to be the one to sell directly. After all they will also have good items for him to buy and he will need credits.

Yet another suggestion to make the tournaments more dynamic:
Charge tournament entry fees (in Thaler).

I can imagine some variations on this:
(a) The entry fee is per knight and the fee increases with the level of the knight.
Example: 50 Thaler per knight and level.
Ten level 1 knights entry fees total = 10 x 50 = 500.
Ten level 50 knights entry fees total = 10 x 2500 = 25,000

(b) The entry fee is per player, and increases per tournament, but resets after some time.
Example: fee resets each week, starting on Monday
First tournament player takes part in on any day in the week: FREE
Second: 1,000
Third: 10,000
Fourth 100,000
Fifth 1,000,000
Sixth 10,000,000
Seventh: 100,000,000

Result:
- The high level players cannot afford to participate in every single tournament. Players with lower level knights get a chance to make it into the finals.
- Thaler get removed from the game.

I certainly can

The Guard is off. In case it gets reactivated I'd prefer a warning one week before the final deactivation. Many thanks!

Die Garde ruht, hätte man keine Ankündigung machen können ?
Wenn die Garde schon nicht gespielt wird, sollte man wenigstens auf die erspielten Boni zugreifen können. Immerhin stehen wir kurz vor der Fusion.
Wie lang soll die Garde ruhen ?

A little birdie told me that the Vacation Substitute can also run the Guards. I suggest that in future iterations of the game, this be disallowed.

I find the game-within-a-game pretty cool. What appeals to me the most is the individual nature of it. Every player is on more or less equal footing. The knights fight man versus man (or maybe some of them are women, you can't tell). You cannot have for example 100 knights from a big alliance gang up on 10 knights from a small alliance in a melee (at least not yet).

The main downside of this game is that it is a grind. Victory is decided by about 60% - 70% grinding and 30% - 40% strategy. Grinding means higher level knights, higher level items, and getting to strike first on top of that. So who can grind the most wins.

Like most people, I have a job, but due to the pandemic, I've had to work from home, so while I'm working on my work computer, I can occasionally go over to my personal computer and keep the knights going on missions. That is a huge advantage over players who have jobs where they are in an office or working outside where they can't be caught playing on company equipment or company time, or may not be able to play at all.

Sending knights on missions every 5 minutes is how you get the fastest advancement. The 5 minute missions give you 13 xp, so roughly 2 xp per minute. The longer missions give you about 1/2 to 1/3 or less xp per minute. If you get lucky, you get offered some 5 to 7 hour missions about the time you want to go to sleep.

However, I still have to sleep. And I can't spend all my free time in front of the computer.

Judging based on how fast some other players advance, compared to my experience where I spent say 16 hours in the day playing, either the other players never sleep, or else there is a team taking turns running the knights.

So I feel like it is me as an individual player vs. some team or some alliance, grinding away. In the medium term, no individual player can keep up, and no clever strategy can counter the higher levels achieved by grinding.

That's why I keep making suggestions to reduce the advantage gained by grinding, such as crazy consumable items that can tip a fight, or having missions that let players find loot at higher levels than their knights.

Hello

Do you know when the new bonuses will arrive in the guards ???

cordialy

you had said that the new seasons of the guards there would be new bonuses but for the moment nothing new have more information given to us ???

Diskussion: deine Garde

Post 315

I can only see something here see this german post.
There are no new bonuses... It is just gambling to keep them

I don't remember when which German or English post because there are really a lot of posts and I have to translate them every time

with the crowns we have the right to a bonus of 10% of raw materials why not also put a bonus of 10% for the troops ??? because we are in a war game

cordialy

Is there a date planned to end this session?

Tournaments are hotly contested for the 7 seats available in the final. There's a tough fight TOP 16-20.
I have some crowns to spend and I want to spend before the end and I want do some planning.
While it lasts I'll try to earn some more but it seems to me that Hoch and Hoch's mouse deserve some rest already. Even seismographs will be grateful. Click, click, click...peak, peak, peak...
