um i can certainly say Infatagable that ur suggestion if given by a vet would still be laughed at read MrKingas topic

Well Shadow Stalker, the idea came from Naltsa Abe really, it just put it in my head. In his opening statement he said this:

"If you want to do a small fix to save game prof, Take off exp, Lower sheild Strength, RESET GAME"

Now, what is the difference between my suggestion and Naltsa Abe's suggestion? Both involve a game reset. However with Abe's suggestion, you have a high probability of the game returning to the current problems you see and once again players will be clammouring for a reset to the game.

However with my idea, the reset is a constant happening, so players have three months to build/attack/gain points or do whatever they want to do, then the game resets and we start again. This has several advantages:

1) It will make SkyLords a total war game as losses would only be minimal and on a short time span.

2) It will level the playing fields for all players on a regular basis. New players are removed from the new players arena after two weeks according to the mission, plus a week immunity. So new players would spend 25% of the reset time in the newbie arena before coming up to the main arena to battle other players for the remaining 75% of the time before reset. After this they would start from the beginning battling experienced players. In my opinion this would be a far greater learning curb.

3) It would give players a realistic opportunity to try several different styles of gameplay without worrying greatly about how it will affect their game as in 3 months time, they can try a different style from scratch.

no what i was getting at is simple

Vets have alot saved, as they have not been attacking due to the fact that they are not understanding all the changes, however simply lowering the sheild will work, or increasing attack

A reset makes it happen Quciker

Resets every 3 months would mean you would have to be active constantly to get anywhere, its the 4th and 5th month of playing when you can REALLY come to power, before then its pointless in trying to go for the top

However while your solution would work, it would not support clan warfer or vengeace wars, which is what we want.

You may have the troops and the assaults to go with them, but always remember....

I have crashed the server!!!

You could simply reform clans, perhaps an edit to my idea, only players current statistics (not total points for example), ships, planets and resourcse are reset. However clans remain.

My idea was just framework of what I believe would be an adequate solution to the problems outlined in several threads throughout these forums.

infatagable, there hasnt been a reset, in years, there was one shortly after the game started, i dont know why, but the game is quite capable of allowing for new players, i got started on this account without serial restarting, i received 2 assaults as a gift from my clan, 3 planets, not the potential 25 like you, and a good luck wish, personally, i dont mind hws being very difficult to capture, because it sucks getting defeated and having to start again from scratch, trust me, thats why its difficult to kill people, and if i can get started with a little gift (less than a days worth of work to aqcuire), 3 planets, and a good luck wish, ANYONE can do it with 25 planets and a good luck wish

1) So the game has changed since you started, perhaps this is for the better or worse of the game, only time will tell.

2) If it sucks getting defeated then it is a good thing that it is difficult to defeat players. However my change does not combat that particular problem. My problem is aimed at combating problems with attacking players and the hoarding of resources. With total points kept you can see who has been consistantly good over a period of time and with clans staying intact there would be no problems with alliegances.

3) That is the way you got started, however not everyone has similar levels of intelligence, saying that "anyone" could do this is an inaccurate generalisation of people, this much is obvious from the problems described in the forums.

The problem of restart every several months is that it is limiting the game - you can play a lot and be very good, but you are limited to the amount of res you can get in 3 months. Ask Bert how long he was gathering to get these millions of resources - now he is one of most powerful players just because he gathered instead of getting points, but reset every several months would make him loose everything he got every several months, so it will be no sense to keep res, means no big targets. So finally it would become very boring - I'd play one or two times after reset but not more as I don't like repeating the same things. And now, when it is not repeating, the game keeps me near 2 years (sometimes I was almost completely inactive due to different reasons, but I was back because I had something in that game, but if it would restart every 3 months, it would be not interesting to play longer time than 1-2 restarts...)

the thing that changed since when i started this account and now, is that the new player missions are better at teaching you how to play the game, new players get more planets witout having to fight vets for them, and instead of getting one week of protection, you get 2, oh dear, its SOOOOO much harder for you new players now, YEAH RIGHT!!!
