Re: July 6 updates

OK I was apparantly trying to hide some tickets 'off the table' ...
I put htem back :)

(actually it was an update that I did, thought was good, but apparantly went to dev, not live. Now on live too, and all bought tickets are credited....)

since a few affected -just to be very clear - YOU DID GET YOUR TICKETS (it just did not show it till i fixed it just now).

If otherwise, ill be keeping an eye out :smt047

well - beat is beat :) Whether by a mile a league or a span of fathoms...
What the update does is equalizes army to MS in naq terms....a bit.

Re: July 6 updates

I believe this double attack option is a bit overpowered seeing there's no alternative to use on the defence side.

I already felt it, I had rank 1 defence with 147 T but there's no other option to defend yourself then go PPT when somebody builds a 100 T strike and gets 400 T in power when he or she gets an ascended blessing.

Why not the same option to double defence, or this 'asgard device' option to cloak your stats for 1 hour of which I read about on the development thread before this went live.
Meh...

Re: July 6 updates

just wondering if you feel well over 2 trill to get a PPT is something you consider fair or viable for new players? Seemed like 1 hell of an increase to me. Tho I can still afford it, I'm willing to bet a rather large chunk of the newer player base can not.

Hence the option to get 2 for MTs only. ;)

I already brought it up and he doesn't care to see reason on the subject.

The best option is to take PPT away from the trade for goods option, lower the free one to 1MT, and be done with it. It shouldn't cost you anything to PPT. We do have the 2MT option, although it's kind of silly to punish people for PPT'ing by making them pay so much more or use more MTs now. Not sure why that is how it is.

Re: July 6 updates

Use 3 market turns (3 quantities) to receive 48 hours of protection (PPT - 48hours is maximum time. It is NOT cumulitive.).
note that you can get a PPT for 1 market turn, AND GOODS, below, using the trade market.

So i've been reading and i'm confused but it could be a saturday morning thing.

So i Can trade 3 mT for 48 hours of PPT, therefore i can still get 96 hours of ppt, but i no longer can get the 5 merlins per week aswell.
OR

If i look at the market below i can trade 4 MT for a 48 hour ppt and pay 2 tril. However i'm suppose to get some Goods?

Supporter Bonuses ($20)
Instant 8,400,000,000,000 Naquadah
Instant 6,750 Attack Turns (Attack turns are converted to Naquadah if the recipient is in the Pergatory Realm)
Instant 7,200,000 Untrained Soliders (Also converted to Naquadah if the recipient is in the Pergatory Realm)
Instant 1264 to Untrained Military Daily Production
10 Days worth of power to your Merlins Planetary Dimensional Shifting Device (MPDSD) that can protect planets from attack.
One additional Race Change 'Count'.
Includes Protected Planets Treaty bonus.

Those goods? or something else?

or these
Infusion Bonus ($10)
For $10 you can apply to the Protected Planet Treaty Board.
Includes 5 Days worth of power to your Merlins Planetary Dimensional Shifting Device (MPDSD) that can protect planets from attack.
Infusion Bonus ($10)
For $10 you can apply to the Protected Planet Treaty Board.
Includes 5 Days worth of power to your Merlins Planetary Dimensional Shifting Device (MPDSD) that can protect planets from attack.

48 Hours of Protection from all Attack and Sabotage UNLESS you attack, spy or sabotage another player, which cancels your protection immediately.


Suggested Ratio *Max hours of protection 96 hours + allaince ppt.
would be 1 MT per 24 Hour PPT, cumulative up to 48 hours
or 1 MT for 48 hours but you need to spend 1-2 tril.

Re: July 6 updates

All good, I may have 1k more then I should (FYI) as I have 6k now... But yeah thanks for that :-D

As for the PPT... Why do people think its owed to them to benefit the market trades? If you can't afford the PPT for resources, a free option was introduced. Taking the free option means you CANNOT benefit from a bunch of free turns which you could use to get the naq to buy a PPT, or other stuff... Unfortunately you need to prioritize what you want to do. :smt104

Re: July 6 updates

to be honest if people are silly enough to actually pay NAQ for a ppt with the current market rates then i weep for the lack of maths skills in the modern world.

Lets see, 400k UU or 2t+ naq for a ppt...wonder what is the better option there...

Anyone can get 400k UU easily enough, noob or otherwise. Hell raid a bit more and use the other 4 MT's you have left for 5x trades of around 490k UU for 2.8t x 4...that's less than 2m UU for around 11.5t naq every week, add in the 2 MT's for ppt's and you are spending around 2.8m UU for 11.5t naq plus 4 days ppt a week, GREAT bonus for any newer account!
