Answers on questions from Maxim (adm)

Морелло:  The clan proposals have been read?
Maxim (adm): They have been read, we will take them up.

Морелло: An application will be released for the game?  
Maxim (adm): We will try to release it this year.

Морелло: Will there be a magic school level 5?
Maxim (adm): Partially.

Beliar:  Transition to HTML is fully implemented?
Maxim (adm): Yes.

Beliar:  Will there be more bonus for inviting players through the invitation program?
Maxim (adm): Current bonuses are fine. Recently someone was creating accounts with bots and got blocked. If you give more bonuses, people will keep creating new multies.


Beliar: Is there Any advertisement for the project?
Maxim (adm): Contextual advertising in Google, Yandex and VK (Vk is a popular social networking site in Russia)
Beliar: And for .com?
Maxim (adm): The interface is not suitable, advertising is too unprofitable. Need an interface. We have a lot of work going on simultaneously, so release of new features is slow. Especially in .com, work progress is much slower.

Морелло: Portal of time factions will be introduced?
Maxim (adm): No, those are event only factions.

Морелло: After the introduction of the remaining alt classes, is there anything planned?
Maxim (adm): We’ll see. Alt-classes and factions are very difficult to introduce. Balancing is hard.

Морелло: I followed the new players in the training quest, which begins after the 3rd battle. There are hundreds of such newcomers. The fight itself has started, but it is clear that they are throwing away the fight.
Maxim (adm): Maybe you need to make it so that the player is more involved in the game before inviting him to the quest, because it is difficult.

Морелло: Campaigns are very hard for CL 3 chars without the right arts.
Maxim (adm): We can rebalance it under 3-4 levels, so that you can pass it without arts. But we need to see how much experience he gets for these battles till level 5. It's just that if he can pass with all the factions it’s a big advantage compared to the current players who are already playing from level 5. The battles there are difficult, even if you balance without art: the average player who has just arrived plays worse than the AI, because you need to know the principles of combat. It is necessary to rebalance, look at the statistics where they have problems, it may not be a rebalance, but just lowering the coefficient by 0.7 and in a month check again how it’s going.
Морелло: And it turns out that it will be necessary to change it to 0.5 or 0.4)
Maxim (adm): Perhaps)


Beliar: Will the area of ​​the facilities be increased or will there be an opportunity for players to make gold or something else so that more people can get jobs?
Maxim (adm): Why? Now there is no shortage of artifacts. It makes sense only if a new sector is made and there is new production, and new shares are issued for them.

Beliar: Now it turns out that not all facilities have shares.
Maxim (adm): It was done on purpose, so that there is no option that some artifact is not produced. All artifacts have a small area of production from the Empire. You can change the profile of the facility, the art will be in an artifact shop without production, and the Empire always has it.

Beliar: And will the shares of mining and machining facilities be distributed?
Maxim (adm): Maybe they will be distributed sometime, but now we didn’t even think about it. Extraction is generally like a constant value and it is difficult to balance it (as well as processing) in order to change something. For example, there is not enough resource there, like orichalcum recently, then they simply changed the production without changing the area, the output was changed and there is enough of it. And if the players have it, something will go wrong there and a third of the artifacts will not be enough.

Морелло:  Now all the achievements in the personal achievement section are static. Is it possible to let the players control them?
Maxim (adm):This is a good idea, but there is no interface. This must be conveyed to Alexander. In theory, you need to start with hiding, and then further. The main problem is where to embed it?
Beliar: Possible to add it to the art?
Maxim (adm): Yes, our interface is already overloaded, everything is stuck. But I made a note about it.

Морелло: Is a rental market possible between players to lease arts?
Maxim (adm): Too easy for players to make money without doing anything. I liked the idea of clans collecting Imperial / darkness and renting it out to their members. Not all players can afford to enchant these artifacts. Now if you want to get top ranks in an event, there is simply nowhere to rent anything like that. Let the clans hand it over for some, but that would be an opportunity. Alexander and I discussed about enabling clans to collect artifact parts from their members, whether they wanna pay for it can be left to them. Usually, players who do all the events have about 40 extra parts after assembling their own art.
Beliar: I had to collect two parts of the diadem and I thought: why do I need it? And sold the parts)

Морелло: As a representative of a clan that fights for the top 50 in an event: Even though the clan's assets are not large, we are still a collective group of people and we do not make it to the top 50 and this reduces the morale of those who are active. Are there any rewards possible for clans with lines below 50?
Maxim (adm): Are there any clans that are directly active?
Морелло: Yes, we exist!
Beliar: Not everyone plays as a whole, and many do not pass the waves completely.
Maxim (adm):We have to look. We saw that there were just 50 active clans, the rest were just that.
Морелло:Even though clans beyond rank 50 have minimal activity, giving them rewards might boost the redundant players to take events seriously and also benefit the active members in that clan.
Maxim (adm): I wrote it down, we'll see. Can push the reward.

Морелло: PvP seasons? Omne has already tried in this direction.
Maxim (adm):Yes, it has to be done. I do not disregard PvP. I agree that something needs to be done there, the rewards must be increased. The main problem of PvP: chances of winning is 50% you can't do anything about it unless you give a bot instead of a player, like the great experiment, a paired tournament of a new format, and then that's it. For players, 50% of defeats is not a good result.

Beliar: Are you planning to make mirror of change available in the artifact shop?
Maxim (adm): Not yet. We will launch the event if it becomes expensive.
Морелло: Now, for example, it is not cheap)
Maxim (adm): The event was conducted recently.
Морелло: Nobody leases it cheaply. This is one of the most expensive pieces of art.
Maxim (adm): So far, the minimum interval between the same events is 5 months. We had only a 2 months gap between tribal path and Portal of Time as this event was a one- timer.

Морелло: More variety of bonus days?
Maxim (adm): Collect ideas.
Морелло: We will start collecting.

Морелло: Lower the minimum level for PvP? They only have group battles and duels. A new player who likes PvP goes there, but sooner or later he realizes that he needs to improve the stats / guilds, and he has already picked up a lot of experience.
Maxim (adm): The CL threshold for entering CG should be reduced to 5. It will be very good for the balance, keep statistics, now it is balancing on the CG only from the 9th level. And blocking the chuckle with low levels is also useful for mixed fights, sometimes it works.

Морелло: The 2010 Magic Wand is an indescribable artifact. Is it possible to give the opportunity to place it in the house? There were a few players who built houses cleanly to put this art there, but it turned out to be impossible.
Beliar: You can even put up a mazurka with mana)
Maxim (adm): Why put it in a house?
Морелло: So the house is also an exhibition of player collections.
Maxim (adm): I 'll see.

Морелло: Guild of Alchemists. Is it feasible?
Maxim (adm): Possible, but so I don't see much sense.
Beliar: We will be able to brew potions which give us stats.
Maxim (adm): Well, there will be a bunch of these potions for next to nothing. Almost everyone will construct it and flood the entire market with potions. It will definitely not pay off. As repairs are pumped at a loss, the same will happen.

Beliar: (passed on secret proposals to moderate the forum)
Maxim (adm): (received secret proposals to moderate the forum)

Морелло: Is it possible to diversify the clan defenses with creatures from the LEG? i.e, defend with a set of LEG creatures. We can alternate them: one week defend with an ordinary army, the next week defend with LEG army.
Maxim (adm): Why?
Морелло: It would be diverse and fun.
Maxim (adm): Clanwar creatures from GL ... Something needs to be changed definitely.

Морелло: Testing ground for creatures. Is it possible to test some creatures and armies?
Maxim (adm): Few people need it. That's how I got a creature for LEG - take it and go into battle, test it.
Морелло: Is it possible to add autobattle to Abu Bakir’s Charm?
Maxim (adm): No.
Морелло: Cheap?
Maxim (adm):Yes. The system of auto battles itself needs to be reworked. It works in a script version. Maybe we should give it for a certain number and types of battles for some days. This is currently not possible. Also, players do not understand the mechanism of transition to auto battle. It is necessary to redo this and then we can talk about adding it to  Abu Bakir’s Charm.
Beliar: Can the icon be changed ? For a mirror, one, and for an ordinary one, another.
Maxim (adm): It is clear that the picture needs to be changed, but in order for it to work, everything needs to be changed in scripts.

Морелло: Can you move the auto-battle button? If you go to a WG battle with a mirror after the battle is loaded, you move the mouse to the upper right corner and click on auto, the army is settled, and at the time you have already moved the mouse to the upper left corner and are ready to click “autobattle” at once, but at the time of loading, the button "surrender" appears.
Maxim (adm): I made a note.

Морелло: Those who have reached CL 23 have nothing much to do. Can you introduce new levels?
Maxim (adm): We need more people in those CLs. It makes little sense to introduce new levels,  since it is more difficult for them to find entertainment in the events and tournaments.
Морелло: Promote players to new CL after the completion of the tournament. For example, a player who is supposed to be in CL 17  fights with CL 16 players.
Maxim (adm): If we change this, then this player might complain that he had just one more fight to complete the tournament, now he has to do it all over from the beginning.
Beliar: He will clarify this on last day of tournament)
Maxim (adm): He can only do it for  one tournament. It's not that scary.


Морелло: Donors want more guild points from the chest of abundance, they feel they should have an advantage.
Maxim (adm):Why did they decide that? There is a skill there. Guild points are nothing.

Ю л и а н а: I would like to address on behalf of the entire female section. Attracting women to the game can be done at least by updating the gifts in the gifts section. These diamond pendants, butterflies, it's all cool, but many already have more than one set and would like to update.
Maxim (adm): Collect ideas and pass them through Dally. But I don’t understand at all how girls play heroic strategy)
Ю л и а н а: They play great!) I like the thieves guild, LEG is also nothing.
Mirella: And I take away fun, but for some reason I am not in the credits.
Морелло: Oops.

Ю л и а н а:  The rules state that gifts made before the donor was blocked or with the reason of the leaving the game are forbidden. This rule can be corrected, let’s say a character gave a gift in September, and in December he left should these gifts be sent to the Empire?
Beliar and Maxim (adm) (at the same time): No.
Maxim (adm): Gifts are removed, if it is sent before blocking. The essence of this rule is that the player leaving the game can sell the character and his property for real money or simply scatter his property against the rules, so these gifts are withdrawn so that everything is within the framework of the rules.
Beliar: And if the one who received the gift and did not know about the donor's plans?
Maxim (adm): He can return to the Empire.

Ю л и а н а: New Year's sets of artifacts and other artifacts like spring ring and bouquet, we liked it.
Maxim (adm): Do you mean the arts we issued once a year?
Ю л и а н а: I would like to put all this in the artifact shop. Can you give spring ring again?
Maxim (adm): Not possible, people are prepared to pay large sums for it. We can make new arts, discuss your ideas with comrades and let us know.

Beliar: We have a New Year's hat for the game, we have a spring ring and maybe you can make hats for the rest of the year?
Maxim (adm): A different hat is being prepared, completely different for the PC. And we will make it for new players, and for old ones there will be a separate button “old / new header”.

Beliar: Why can’t we just check a box instead of captcha for enrolling?
Maxim (adm): Yes, it is possible, but only captcha is capable of detecting bots. Currently, we are working on an application which will send notifications when it’s time to enroll.

Beliar: And make a notification about the art that came for repair?
Maxim (adm): Well, yes it’s possible.

Морелло: Possible to introduce 4th difficulty level in campaigns?
Maxim (adm): This would be overwhelming.
Морелло: Well, it should be playable with enchants.
Beliar: It's not very cheap for a fight.
Maxim (adm):But it will be easier to win with enchants.
Beliar: Strengthen the battles?
Maxim (adm): We do battles there as in the event: they balance in the state (and for craft events in the state craft), and the empires are greatly superior. Especially if the imperials are worn by the 5th level.
Морелло: But not everyone has imperials. Not all of them. Or will you again get a caste of players who took them and passed, and the rest are indignant?
Maxim (adm): Well yes.

Beliar: Will there be a continuation of the promotional set? Now there is a sword of cold, ring, shield, armor, etc.
Maxim (adm): There won’t be a complete set. I look and add those artifacts that are expensive on the market in order to reduce the price. I also ensure that there is no repetition from the last offer. If all the arts drop in price, then we will introduce new arts. But currently, I see no need for such a set, it will make battles expensive on the contrary.
Beliar: It is much easier to fight 3promotional arts)
Maxim (adm): The difference is not big. At some levels, the shop armor is 1 stat inferior.
Beliar: But when the effects stack up, it has a huge impact.
Maxim (adm): I'm trying to prevent this from happening. There was a mistake with the Ring of Cold, that it is too steep compared to the store. Had to add an alternative. The rest of the artifacts there, armor / shield, are not much superior. There is no goal of making players who deposit real money to have an edge. On the contrary, the goal is for everyone to be in the same conditions.

Морелло: High levels do not have much shop arts, level 22-23 does not have anything
Maxim (adm): It will be necessary to add. We will add, stats will be similar to promotional arts.

Морелло: No more lotteries? You buy a ticket and maybe you win something.
Maxim (adm): I dislike it - everyone participates, and few people get the prize.

Морелло: The player accumulates 50k Leadership on the red creatures, will the “exchange” button appear?
Maxim (adm):   No.
Морелло: Is this the limit?
Maxim (adm): There are creatures in base for the next level, but there is no exchange button. They are imbalanced creatures which are not suitable for LEG.
Морелло: For example? Magic dragons?
Maxim (adm): Including them, any creature with too much health.

oOoArchAngeloOo: What's going on here? An interview?
Морелло: More like a conversation)
oOoArchAngeloOo: Yes? Well then (that's when the secret moderation offers are passed)
Maxim (adm):(accepted secret proposals for moderation)

oOoArchAngeloOo: But there are clans in the game with beautiful numbers and are called "Reserves", why can't they be allowed to the players?
Maxim (adm): We once had an auction.
oOoArchAngeloOo: Yes, but for a long time)
Maxim (adm): It’s just for fancy purposes, who needs them?
oOoArchAngeloOo: I wanted 6666 for myself) I waited at the moment of registration 6665, sent an application and 6666 went to the reserve)
Морелло: For beautiful numbers now, there will probably be a battle stronger than the one that was.

Maxim (adm): There will be a fight for it, but someone will get it.

Морелло: Would it be possible to make army sets in LEG?

Maxim (adm): We will look into it.

oOoArchAngeloOo: When we are in a hurry for an event and need broken arts repaired urgently, we get scammed by low level smiths who take the full fee and repair the art for low %. Is it possible to introduce a feature to avoid this?

Maxim (adm): That is, at the time of transferring the art, you need a display for how much the blacksmith can repair. Ok, noted.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Another inconvenience is the inability to purchase a large number of potions at once. After purchasing once, we need to scroll down to the relevant section to buy again.

Ю л и а н а: Yes! This is very annoying!

Maxim (adm): Got it.

oOoArchAngeloOo: There is a situation in paired events: players team up with someone who already has accumulated many event points. For example, there is a player who goes forward along the waves, and there are those who are lower in waves: they go first to the 5th wave, then immediately to the 10th, and so this repeats with others who are on the 5th. Now, this person has 3 won battles and is already on the 15th wave and clan score gets a tremendous boost.

Maxim (adm): I am aware of this tactic.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Was this intended?

Maxim (adm): No, but we have decided to allow it. This may give a good start , but it is not a huge advantage.

oOoArchAngeloOo: This is a very big advantage. Maybe you can limit the number of waves on which you can take a partner. Now if a person, for example, is on the 14th wave, he can take a person on a 6th or 5th wave, right?

Maxim (adm): Yes.

oOoArchAngeloOo: One solution might be to restrict the entry to higher levels until a certain number of waves have been played. For example, open waves 10-15 after a certain number of wins.

raTaHoa: This is not always good as sometimes, for example, you are already passing the 20th wave and you have clan members who cannot find a teammate in the clan. They started late and they just need to get through it quickly.

oOoArchAngeloOo: CL 20 will drag CL 16 to high score.

raTaHoa: You can just drag him through just these 10th, 15th, etc. waves so he finds partners easily despite a late start.

Maxim (adm): This may give you a start, but it is not guaranteed that it will give you an advantage in the event. They may help you, say, to the 30th wave, but you will not have enough army strength for clearing the 30th wave. It just makes sense to go along with it ... This is a feature of these paired events, which rarely take place.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Okay.

raTaHoa: By the way, while talking about the portal of time: will a new faction of the past be introduced for events?

Maxim (adm): Most likely someday.

Морелло:  Can you make it so that with any LEG level up, for example, LEG 10 - we are allowed to choose the creatures we desire from a list.

Maxim (adm): Of course not!

Морелло: Will there be an alt class of tribals?

Maxim (adm): I thought about it today. I liked the idea of their troops' spirit not reducing damage. It would work differently.

raTaHoa: And what skill will he have? I think it would be better to remove the ability to dampen the damage with spirit, and make a new one, something like "blood rage", which would increase the damage dealt with spirit. They will be more fragile than the main class.

Maxim (adm): If we make it so that spirit does not absorb damage, the faction is more attacking.

Морелло: Will there be a 3rd round of Imperial arts issue?

Maxim (adm): We will continue to issue parts of imperial and darkness arts in almost every event.

Морелло: What about the possibility of exchanging an artifact part for other artifact parts? I mean changing a ring part to a dagger part, or make a "universal part" of artifacts so that we can decide where to add it ourselves.

Maxim (adm): This does not make much sense. If you need a certain part - go buy it on the market. The bottom line is that if some parts are too expensive, we just issue them through events.

Морелло: So it will continue like this?

Maxim (adm): For now, yes. The bottom line is that these sets are alternatives to each other. That is, if someone did not assemble one of the sets, they could assemble the next one.

Морелло: Now, as I understand it, people monitor each other in minor tournaments.

Maxim (adm): Let them monitor, what's the problem?

Ю л и а н а: Can you enable transfer of diamonds between players?

Maxim (adm): No.

Ю л и а н а: Why?

Maxim (adm): This lowers the value of diamonds.

Морелло: It turns out that at the top of the list are those who bought an estate earlier, who got a smaller ID. Is it possible to somehow change this system, because there is no way for those who are building them now to get to the top of the list and make any income.

Maxim (adm): Noted, we'll see.

Морелло: Will there be wars?

Maxim (adm): What wars in particular?

Морелло: Old wars, it would be possible with the opening of a new sector.

Maxim (adm): War is just an event, without restrictions and with high awards which few people receive.

raTaHoa: Some sectors are rented by holding MCs to other MCs for gold.

Maxim (adm): We are aware of this issue.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Can’t you catch them when the gold is transferred?

Maxim (adm): It's not a problem with gold, the bigger problem is that certain clans hold some sectors and allow this.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Hire mercenaries in the imperials, pay them to go to new sectors)

Maxim (adm): In general, all sectors belong to the Empire, not to clans).

Ю л и а н а:  There are a lot of MCs who would like at least one enterprise. And people there would be more active in playing, donating something, taking some part. And so he joined the clan, there is a badge, ok, but there are no enterprises and the prospect that they will have one is very small. And that's all. Some won’t have any interest in clan wars. So, at least one unfortunate clan exists.

Maxim (adm): Well, there are not enough sectors for each clan.

Ю л и а н а: Not all clans want, but those who want, they are unable to get them.

Maxim (adm): Can't they capture from another clan?

Ю л и а н а: If they capture, they might receive a threat.

raTaHoa: There is an agreement between the top clans to decide which lands belong to whom. We barely conquered 4 sectors with a huge battle, they are generally not very profitable , but we had to fight for them ...

Ю л и а н а: People want an enterprise in their clans.

raTaHoa: Yes, although it doesn’t generate profit.

raTaHoa: There is this situation: for example, a CL 21 can enter and fight against CL 14-16 . But the defenders will be helpless against this guy. No matter how well they dress, they simply cannot beat him. This is not an ideal situation.

Maxim(adm): The top clan needs players of the same CL, there are limitations indeed.

Ю л и а н а: The war has been going on for a long time, it’s not a war anymore.

raTaHoa: One has ended, the other has already begun.

Ю л и а н а: And there are mercenaries running around. They are pumping CG by shifting from clan to clan.

Maxim (adm): We are aware of this situation.

Парфюмер: There has been no pay increase for 5 years!

oOoArchAngeloOo: And art prices are increasing!

Maxim (adm): Inflation? The prices of shop arts are the same in the artifact shop.

oOoArchAngeloOo: And donations? Always different.

Maxim (adm): Donations are getting cheaper.

Морелло: Again, I want to push the idea of ​​war. Let’s call it event war.

Maxim (adm): For what? For clans to seize the territory?

Морелло: Basically anything. Players just want this format.

Maxim (adm): Ok, we will consider it.

Морелло: Again and again, the most frequent question / request in every letter is about the breaks in the events. It seems that there is not enough gap between the events.

Maxim (adm): It is not necessary to participate. What is the problem?

Морелло: They miss out on achievements and awards.

raTaHoa: We want to collect the set completely and for this we have to participate in all the events. Maybe we could collect parts from 2 events, and skip the third, but this is possible only for top players. The average player barely gets 40 parts per event.

Морелло: I tried to play and only collected the helmet of darkness during all this time.

Ю л и а н а: And I got only a ring.

Maxim (adm): You see, it means you don't need these arts)

Ю л и а н а : We would like an alternate event while the tournament is running.

Maxim (adm): We alternate them like PvP, then 4-5 PvE events .

Ю л и а н а: There is still work, but I want to collect the parts and play.

Maxim (adm): Events support online players and keep new players in the game. If we do not start events, online activity will fall.

Морелло: Is it possible to make paired MG quests?

Maxim (adm): Why?

Морелло: We have paired hunts.

oOoArchAngeloOo: We have paired ambushes too.

Морелло: So it is quite logical now to pair MG quests.

Maxim (adm): It is not ideal to make paired MG quests.

Beliar: A Thieves vs. Rangers event?

Maxim (adm): There will be more thieves than rangers.

Парфюмер: It was a cool event, 80 TG points from that alone)

oOoArchAngeloOo: Which is the only event to give that much)

Maxim (adm): Many do not remember what kind of event you are talking about)

Морелло: Remove the pharaohs - remove the pharaohs!)))

Ю л и а н а: If you don’t like the faction, don’t play it.

* All *: Cool faction!

Морелло: Alt class of pharaohs?

Maxim (adm): Have to start working on the theory.

Морелло: What are you planning next? Alt tribal?

Maxim (adm): Yes.

raTaHoa: Are you planning to introduce any other factions?

Maxim (adm): Will need to do it someday. A new faction is definitely not needed at this stage, maybe in a few years.

Морелло: Is it possible to introduce buildings such as the "Town Hall", which gives 500 gold per day. But, most likely, it will be too much. At least once a week, like a stock.

Maxim (adm): It might be easier to buy shares - that will be like the Town Hall. How much does the share bring per day?

raTaHoa: I have one share that yields 500 gold a week.

Maxim (adm):  Let's say it costs 300,000 - this Town Hall. It cannot be cheaper than a stock.

Морелло: This question has already been asked before- addition of unique enemy factions in TG. Is it possible?

Maxim (adm): First, TG needs to be redone. We have an idea for structuring TG like LEG, where a new task is available every 3 hours. We are considering making TG similar to that, that is, with a countdown. And use of TG potion would reduce the countdown. We have already designed new builds and other changes, we will implement them soon.

Морелло: Will there be a cleaning of the bot users?

Maxim (adm): There will be a surprise cleaning operation.

Парфюмер: When items are bought out in a second, that's suspicious.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Not only elements, someone accidentally put up art worth 300,000 for 30k. Naturally, it got sold in a few seconds, and the buyer did not reply to the mail, instead sent the art to the Empire.

Парфюмер: There are lot of failsafes to prevent this.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Do you remember the point that all the agreements between the characters are between each other, all their rollback obligations are between themselves. If you were deceived, then you were deceived. Rollbacks are now illegal.

Maxim (adm): The number of such operations per month should be limited, like restrictions on gifting others.

Морелло: Is it possible to somehow reference additional chars to the main char in the player info page?

Maxim (adm): I think Alexander (adm) will be against it.

Морелло: Why?

Maxim (adm): Implementing this would be cumbersome.

Морелло: Yes, but any RPG game has at least 90 setting buttons.

Морелло: There are no shop amulets which give morale except for the dragongrin charm which is available only from CL 17. Is it possible to introduce such an art for lower CLs?

Maxim (adm): Introducing such an art would create an imbalance.

Морелло: Is it possible to make the discard button in tavern games bigger?

Maxim (adm): I have changed it. The size of the button looks the same, but the clickable area has become larger by 2 times.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Why are there so many bugs in events?

Maxim (adm): Most of the bugs come up in the last levels of the event, which miss the tests.

Парфюмер: Especially the 60th wave)

General laughter

Maxim (adm): This kind of bullshit happened with the 60th wave. There was some kind of bug.

Парфюмер: The enemy numbers were not 4-digit, but 6-digit.

Maxim (adm): Yes, there, in general, enemy stats got messed up. Casters either had too less or too much mana.

oOoArchAngeloOo: Anyway, did it get resolved?

Maxim (adm): Yes, we had resolved the bug, but for some reason, there was no rebalancing which resulted in insane enemy stacks.

Парфюмер: Can you raise the minimum AP points for CG, say by 10? Many people enter with bad arts.

Maxim (adm): If this change gets implemented, people will complain that they wear such arts because it has some perks they find useful or that it is economically unviable.

raTaHoa: By the way, another question: is it possible to add an additional filter in the application for group battles, to indicate the AP range?

Maxim (adm): Got the essence. It's just that these group battles, they are not popular now because of CG. If you want to test something, you can create a clan application.

Морелло: Can we expect blindfold battles?

Maxim (adm): We have almost designed it in CG, pending implementation. Are you talking about the tournament?

Морелло: Yes.

Maxim (adm): We will make the arena available once a day, the player’s nicknames won't be displayed.

raTaHoa: We found some faction skills and abilities without icons...

Maxim (adm): There are no references to them, so no use of icons.

Парфюмер: Will there be an Imperial staff?

oOoArchAngeloOo: Imperial Magic set?

Maxim (adm): If magicians become dominant in this set, it would be unfair.

raTaHoa: For levels higher than 23, will they have new buildings like citadel?

Maxim (adm): It makes no sense to add such buildings. This will increase the inequality. Let's say we increase the army by 24-25%. It would be insane.

raTaHoa: Until we reach CL 30, this will not happen?

Maxim (adm): In general, this makes sense. Smooth growth is better than sharp growth. When a citadel, for example, appears - there is a sharp increase in the army.

Морелло: Can you release events with no restriction on arts but modifiers aren’t allowed?

Maxim (adm): No, campaigns in AG need to be done more.

Морелло: Good. Can we expect AG 4?

Maxim (adm): Not for now.

raTaHoa: There was also a question about RG: are there any plans to introduce higher levels? Are there enough players now who have reached the maximum level?

Maxim (adm): Didn't look into it. We will do it if needed.

raTaHoa: Another thing, related to Smith's guild: to find out the remaining time for the repair to finish, you need to go to the blacksmith. Is it possible to display this information directly to art?
Maxim (adm):It is unlikely that it will work, because in general there will be re-designing of the inventory. On the contrary, we are planning to minimize information there. That is, adding icons there, to hover upon and check. But the bottom line is that the inventory will not have a lot of information as text , but, on the contrary, the list of pictures will be more suited. It seems to me that the inventory is already overloaded with all sorts of sets, tabs. I'm doing something different with inventory now, it's so overloaded. It's already very difficult to simplify.

Морелло: A question about chests: is it possible to relate chests with star tabs in inventory, since there is not enough space?
Ю л и а н а: Yellow star - one chest. The blue star is another chest.
Maxim (adm):This is how people lose artifacts in chests. And they will also lose them in stars. In general, I need to redo the inventory, and then think about what can be done there.

Морелло: The next question is about the clan smiths. And specifically about the possibility of a turn of repair.
PoRoSeNoK147: There are a lot of events and the blacksmiths have a lot of work!
Maxim (adm): There is also some kind of button to be repaired instantly, no?
oOoArchAngeloOo: This is for diamonds.
PoRoSeNoK147: If someone uses diamonds. Or you raise the time left percentage. About 0.25 hour is worth doing with gold. There you can just catch up with percentages - these are empires.
PoRoSeNoK147: After the events there is a really huge queue. And all the smiths have to work silently on their own.
Maxim (adm): I will ask Alexander, but I think he will not want to do it.I will convey this however. I don't know how the smith works there. That is, we take an artifact - click edit. We take another art - press edit and it gets in line? In theory, you just edit it and it gets in line. Is that?
PoRoSeNoK147: Yes.
Maxim (adm): Well, let's see.

Морелло: Anti to anti thief. Is this possible? That is, a person has an anti-thief, and a thief bought himself an anti-anti-thief)
Парфюмер: And then he bought an anti-anti-thief))))
Maxim (adm): So, it seems that there is no special PVP there. Unlikely)

oOoArchAngeloOo: Are you planning to increase the clan stat bonus?
Maxim (adm): No, those give enough bonuses already. Anymore might provide a serious advantage to clan members, which I am against for.

Антихрист_РнД Regarding the Survilurgs. Will there be any changes?
raTaHoa: Or maybe instead of Survilurgs, make dungeons like events.
Maxim (adm): Let's say there is some kind of dungeon where we walk, hit someone, then hit someone else and someone else. For the first few months there may be some variety. As a result, if you do not change it in a month, then everyone will get bored with it, again.
Ю л и а н а: To be honest, everyone is tired of the Survilurgs for a long time.
Maxim (adm): I agree.
raTaHoa: And if you can bind the clans to locations. For example, some clans have territory in some place.If they want facilities from some other locations, current one will be given to someone else and then they can seize the next facility. Alternatively, stagnation can be diluted.
Maxim (adm): It won't dilute anything. If you don't get big profits from the current facility, and you can't get a new one, then why should you change this monotonous facility to another monotonous one?

Антихрист_РнД Are you planning to expand the bonuses of Abu-Bakir charm?
Maxim (adm): What's there to expand?
Антихрист_РнД More bonuses for those who spend more on Abu-Bakir. For example, for 50 diamonds it can give an additional bonus.
Maxim (adm): Why?
Антихрист_РнДMore goodies.
Maxim (adm): There are all sorts of guild potions in the artifact shop.
Антихрист_РнД Those potions are applicable nowhere else.
Maxim (adm): What other goodies then?
Антихрист_РнД For example, adding an automatic mirror.
Maxim (adm): We have already said about the mirror that we need to redo it first.
Антихрист_РнД Can make it more expensive, where it will be embedded.
Maxim (adm): You can spam many fights into this then.
Антихрист_РнД Or for a little fight. Because I want to put money into the game, and for me diamonds are not useful anywhere else.
Maxim (adm): It's better to figure out what to do with them so that it doesn't affect the balance.


Морелло:Again, they ask playing clan defenses with creatures from the LEG.
Maxim (adm):: And they are not asking to fight clan wars with creatures from LEG?

Морелло: How does distribution work in mixed tournaments? There are many issues of imbalance in levels. For example, 19th was against 14, 13 and 12.
c
Морелло: Does the weight depend on the character?
Maxim (adm):No.
Морелло: That character may be both pumped and under-pumped, still they have the same weight?
Maxim (adm): Yes.

Pagan of Dark:They complain that we don't have PVP events. There were competitions between griffins and manticores, a competition between light and darkness. There is a proposal: As we now have a clan rating, you can collect general ratings for the last clan events of all clans, at least a hundred. Then, introduce new competition with griffin and manticore, but without choice to select sides. It is the clans, not the players, that are distributed among them. Clans in the first and fourth place - to griffins, and second, third - to manticores. And thus, they spread out into two equal forces.
Maxim (adm): But what about the fact that players from the clan can move?
Pagan of Dark:This is a separate topic. I believe that if a clan event begins, there should be restrictions on leaving the clan. A clan should be a stable structure. If a clan is preparing for a war, it must recruit players in advance.
raTaHoa: Many players ask to join clans when events begin. They want to participate, they want to join the clan.
Maxim (adm): This is bad for developing clans. There are players who see that the clan is recruiting. That player tries his best at the event, but couldn’t  be taken to the top clan - Ukraine and the Titans. So he joins the top20 clan.  It is clear that clans that are in the top three can sell spots for gold. You can pay, join a clan, get a prize for the first place, for example.
Pagan of Dark:Regarding clan events: firstly, 10 places. Let's say that the first three places do not give 10,9,8 cyclops shamans, but rather different epics. For the first place some, for the second others, etc.
Maxim (adm): No one knows which Epic is better.
Pagan of Dark: Let them think what place to take.
Maxim (adm): How to think? Here you always fight for the first.
Pagan of Dark: It's not interesting for us in the Valley of Mages [#41] to fight for the third place, because the fourth one gives a better set.
Maxim (adm): Your clan is unlikely to be able to fight for the first three places)
Pagan of Dark: We took the third and that gave me a yellow creature. But they are good in manual LeG... They cannot be played on auto at all.
Maxim (adm): They are less versatile. Not every creature is for automatic combat in LeG. It's clear business.
Pagan of Dark: And in next events introduce epics for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place to tenth. And then rare ones, give from 11-20 from 21-30, so that small clans also receive good sets. And they don’t bother with much competition.
Maxim (adm): On the contrary, it is necessary to bother with competition. If I introduce different creatures every event, then the creatures will simply end and will repeat. Creatures from factions have gone already, neutrals left.
Pagan of Dark: For first place, you introduce a new creature. For the second some epic creature that has already been dropped. And for third place, a creature that has already dropped out four times.
Maxim (adm):It is not right. If we repeat for the second place, especially for the third, then this leads to a mythical creature. The repeated Epics is accumulated for the mythical. Why is this needed? On the contrary, it is necessary to save up for the mythical so that there are few of them. So that everyone has it. To be good they need to be played, and if they are not played, then it is not known what they are.
raTaHoa: We still need to get them.
Maxim (adm): In a few years, many will have mythical ones and will play them. They will be adjusted.

raTaHoa: Likes on the forum are being requested. So that ideas and proposals can be voted.
Maxim (adm): And dislikes? No dislikes?
Морелло: No dislikes.
Ю л и а н а: Just like. If you don't like it, don't mark it at all. The negativity is already enough.
Maxim (adm): Dislike is easy to set if you don't have one. You reply to the message and write "dislike this message, if you agree, then like it".
Ю л и а н а: But at least make some likes. They are needed on the forum.

Pagan of Dark: Can't you teach AI to go around firewalls?
Maxim (adm): This is more complicated.
Pagan of Dark: The AI climbs into this firewall, and also gets up on it.
Maxim (adm):Yes, there is some kind of bug with firewalls. There are algorithms there that make sure that if you go on a firewall - you get certain damage, you don't have to go till the extreme end. But for some reason they don't work.

Pagan of Dark: Why, if there are two walls, damage is not counted?
Maxim (adm): Because it cannot be summed up. There is a wall and after half a move its action ends. I want to rearrange it, but the damage is slightly less. I put it as a hero, I rearrange it as a dwarf. You cannot sum them up - this is completely cheating.
raTaHoa: Don't stack , just don't change powerful damage.
Maxim (adm):I also speak. There is more powerful damage. Let's say 100 damage. It ends after half a move. I have a unit, it has 90 damage. What to do with the wall?
Pagan of Dark:: Stand up as a unit and take 190 damage.
Maxim (adm): No, you cannot generalize. The wall can be crossed with three moves too.

raTaHoa: In regard to the same question, Darkness Demons have talent where the hero can cast weakness on units with normal hit. It becomes unnecessary because it overrides already existing weaknesses. That is, he can inflict weakness much more than the talent does. Talent puts in three, and he put in 12. And the units, in any case, will inflict. They replace 12 with 3.
Maxim (adm): This is a difficult topic. It gets superimposed on different blows.

raTaHoa: With poisoning, if stronger poison is inflicted it gets active, if weaker, then it does not convert to weaker damage.
Maxim (adm): But this is poisoning. All sorts of curses are superimposed in different ways. One when hitting, one when casting, the third somehow.

Pagan of Dark: Egyptian women with the head of a lioness who leave a trail of fire behind them, what do they need mana for? They have mana, but they don't cast.
Maxim (adm): This is most likely a bug in the database. Just not removed. This is most likely a copy of the priestesses.

raTaHoa: More than once there has been a discussion about which units belong to pharaohs , and which to the robbers. They are all mixed now.
Pagan of Dark:There are game pharaohs, and there are non-game pharaohs, but there are border units and they cannot be attributed to either of the pharaohs or the robbers.
Maxim (adm): This is why I do events, decide which units to add / remove.
raTaHoa: Here's to get information for reference, where to assign them?
Maxim (adm): They have zero faction
raTaHoa: They were also called “Pharaohs of the Eclipse”
Maxim (adm): I don’t put all units to the robbers. I put crocodiles. I put camels somewhere, somewhere I do not. For Thieves every time. In general, these are "robbers of the Egyptians", but they may or may not be with robbers.
raTaHoa: So this is one faction after all?
Maxim (adm):The robbers are not a faction, but so) For example, deserters - can be attributed to “robbers of the knights”

raTaHoa: By the way, the mechanics faction - are they planned as a full-fledged playable faction?
Maxim (adm): Not planned, they are more for events.

Морелло: Is it possible to increase the area of ​​pressing the private message button? You can normally get into it from the phone only by enlarging the screen.
Maxim (adm): What if you want to get on the character, and not in message.
Pagan of Dark: Blacklist everyone and don't worry)

Морелло: Artifact Fair. The bottom line is that there are artifacts from events that, as it were, will not appear more, but why not introduce them on a new one through a certain fair?
Pagan of Dark: Or repeat the same 2015 event with the Survilurg black market.
Морелло: This also had one of the best reviews!
Maxim (adm): It's better because the market was there.
Морелло: Yes, the reward system itself was very cool, maybe something like that?
Maxim (adm): The difficulty is in the quantity, lot of art was delivered in one event.
Pagan of Dark: Even if the arts are same, they can just do an event mechanically different.
Maxim (adm): Mechanically, there were survilurg caravans, but now the event with robbers is the same, only more balanced.

Pagan of Dark:By artifacts. There are old sets of rare artifacts that were remade for factions from the 14th level. And there are sets of amphibians, inquisitors which were left without attention. There are incomplete sets, many have no rings, for example. And let's say you enter a complete set and at the same time upgrade them by adding some kind of bonus. Can such sets become more relevant?
Maxim (adm): Actually it is a little wrong to add a ring to some sets. It will be in units and it should be no worse than the imperial one.
Pagan of Dark: Can these arts, for example, be introduced in the form of rewards as part of the portal event?
Maxim (adm): This is too strong. Each artifact will cost 300k gold and for whom should they be introduced?
Pagan of Dark:We can have them as a reward now: an event takes place ...
Maxim (adm): I know how they are issued, everything is counted there, and the top 100 almost always pays off.
Pagan of Dark: Not about payback, but about the very introduction of these artifacts.
Maxim (adm): It makes little sense to introduce it as a whole, since there are Imperials that everyone can collect if they wish, it is clear that not everyone can enchant. And here a very limited circle will turn out. The fact that the sets are not complete - this is their uniqueness, they can also be mixed with other sets, with the same imperial / darkness.

raTaHoa: Is it possible to remove enchants from artifacts with some kind of commission of elements? There is enchanted art - un-enchant it and get some of the elements back.
Maxim (adm):So the artifact can be broken.Enchanted,used, removed the elements.
Pagan of Dark: And let's say from some high level of the smith, the ability to remove at least 10% of the elements.
Maxim (adm): And everyone will turn to this smith and eventually the value balance will drop.

PoRoSeNoK147: Once there was an event for which there were awards of random enchant modifier. Will there be a repetition?
Maxim (adm): I don't promise)
PoRoSeNoK147: It was very interesting in terms of randomness, because it did not fall for all victories, and in terms of the essence of the reward.
Maxim (adm):Items have risen in price after this event for a while. Plus, again, the MG be will be stopped playing and everyone waits for such an event to enchant.
Антихрист_РнД The average level of players is growing and on the higher levels the MG is not balanced very much.
Maxim (adm): Added the same creatures, new tasks. Now, yes, the elements of MG are more expensive, but again this is a plus for beginners that they can earn extra money.

Pagan of Dark: For PvP events, Manticore and Griffin competitions are very rare. PvP players would be very happy.
Maxim (adm): There is a problem with PvP that the percentage of victories is around 50 and you can't do much more, and this is the problem
Pagan of Dark: I had 3 victories and 9 defeats
Maxim (adm):So this is the problem. If a player has less than 90% of victories, he is sad)

Pagan of Dark: Clan events at least once.
Антихрист_РнД Yes, for the LeG clan events, at this time there is a lot of work in progress: for example, with the troops collection, many people may simply not read the clan mails, so you need to personally contact and find out what the person's circumstances are.
Maxim (adm): Reduce clan seats?
Антихрист_РнД The reduction of clan seats increased its value and seats are now being more appreciated. Or at least for some events.

Морелло: There will be no questions about balancing different factions at different levels. There are a number of "useless" skills and abilities.
Maxim (adm):The story about skills is simple: if we change them, then a lot of things change. If we make unused skills usable, then it is not known in the end which build will turn out: better or worse. Accordingly, the balance for these builds will be needed. But we already have a variety, one faction has several builds ,talents, etc. A bunch of factions, a bunch of alts, it's basically impossible to balance.

Антихрист_РнД Is it possible to implement gift restriction at certain levels programmatically?
Maxim (adm): It's impossible. The methods can be different: gifts, trade, clan rewards and others, plus a time interval of 30 days - how to programmatically understand this?
Морелло:Are new types of games possible in the tavern? Poker?
PoRoSeNoK147: Backgammon!
Pagan of Dark: Dominoes!
Maxim (adm): It makes little sense, there are specialized sites for such games.


Морелло: There is a conspiracy theory that those who exchange diamonds for gold have some advantage in the cards.
Maxim (adm): There is absolutely nothing like that in the cards. Just random.
Морелло: Purely psychological and statistical factors?
Maxim (adm):   Nothing at all. This is the same conspiracy theory that the AI is lucky more often.
Морелло: By the way, the other day they threw off a confirmation that the AI supposedly knows at which strike the luck will happen.
Maxim (adm): It does not know. There is also a mechanism that if the luck did not occur, the next move is more likely to occur. The bot doesn't even look at it.

PoRoSeNoK147: Does the AI count misses?
Maxim (adm): Yes, counts.

Морелло: Does the AI see traps?
Maxim (adm): No.
Морелло: No traps, no mines?
Maxim (adm): No. If he had seen, he would have avoided them in general.

Морелло: There is a conspiracy theory that, there is a person that sits behind the roulette wheel, he is also an opportunist, who specifically tweaks the result so players lose, or vice versa, some players win.
Maxim (adm)::) there is a roulette archive, you can check everything.
Морелло: And the dropouts are really random?
Maxim (adm): What the number generator gave out, it drops out.
Pagan of Dark: Does this number generator have some kind of twist? Many are sure that, for example, 23 will roll out after 32, or within a few spins. We have many “fans” of this topic in the clan)
Maxim (adm): Well, maybe they figured out the number generator, then only)
Морелло: And for new years, numbers are also randomly generated?
Maxim (adm): Of course)
Антихрист_РнД: The roulette players have their own superstitions!
oOoArchAngeloOo: Advise them to read the book: Fooled by Randomness !
