actually it's suggestions

1) No immunity for people who join in the first month after the reset, otherwise it's really boring because there will be so little fighting

2) No noobie arena until 2 months, they really don't need to be in their own place during the first 2 months, especially with immunity and people wont be insanely strong yet





PS HW +ships plz iiri

i think you could do without immunity. one week does nothing. 2 days i think should be enough

Yah, SL is fun.

once players actually have resources immunity becomes crucial, after one month you will possibly see players with millions of troops, and they will kill new players in 5 minutes without immunity

If you can stay in the newb arena for along time- I forget how long- then I don't think immunity is as necessary- if you are only there for a week or less than I think you need the immunity- though newbs grabbing planets like the 20x bz ones while in immunity is kind of cheap- especially all the multi ones that got the planets deleted.

yeah, right now you can stay in there for a month or two depending on when you join
you get kicked out at the end of the second round you play in

i dropped out after 2 days, because it's SOOOOOOOOOOO boring in there :/

and i've now outscored the other class e players (some of whom are old players) by a factor of 3

i'm about to pass up the three times as many points mark for vampiremoon, who started playing and got experience on the test server well the main one was down

ooh, noobie competition

sounds fun

oh, and this is the price of power:

mistakes XD
14:21:39 | superhero8 planet Rhadamanthus has been attacked by H911Reiver, ChaosInDaGalaxy.

that was one of my 3 100k assaults, and the only one in the region -.-

fortunately i was able to rebuild it and do this :
14:24:29 | superhero8 planet Rhadamanthus has been captured by H911Reiver, ChaosInDaGalaxy.
14:24:29 | superhero8 has been defeated by H911Reiver.

but that was embarrassing

Immunity is for new players, and those speaking against it here are NOT new players, besides they also spend more time in game than most.

My first day out of immunity was a nightmare, I lost over half my planets and my "Homeworld" It is easier after you've been through it once, plus now there is a newbie dimension as well. New players should be able to gain a decent footing, so it isn't so easy to crush them.

The current system has already been tested, so the only problem now is possible bugged accounts in immunity from a year ago.

In memory of the Underdogs.

Let's say real arena is fair game - no matter what. It's just a hassle finding a newb next to my HW.

But rather, let's provide 1 week immunity in Newbie Arena, out of a max 2 weeks you can stay there, before being automatically bumped into Real Area.

use the method of the immunity bug against them and the server reevaluates their immunity and removes it

Ok well I still have this message when accessing the missions page:

Warning: Error parsing /var/www/skylords/game/languages/en/mission.ini on line 35 in /var/www/skylords/game.startup.inc.php on line 45

And seems I'm stuck in the newbie arena till further notice (iiri is aware of this).

If not class E, it will have to be a class D competition
