Sorry to hear about your family issues. For me, the social aspect with my guild using discord was huge this summer. Had shoulder surgery back in June (rotator cuff tears, SLAP tear, and tons of bone spurs that were shredding everything). The social aspect with my guild and discord was a HUGE part of what kept me sane for the 3 months it took to get cleared to return to work (just wrapping up my second week back). Eight hours after surgery I was on my computer bsing with my guild and trying to do gvg left handed (then I slept for 4 days). From my experience, the bots/dev exploiting and the gvg freezing bugs that Inno doesn't want to acknowledge are hurting the player base more than Inno's money grab.
Thanks for sharing! I am a free to play player. I am coming up on 3 yrs of game play & have seen many of my mentors leave/pass away. I have tried to carry on their wonderful legacy, but INNO is making it hard with their allowance of blatant cheating & their greed! Now that they will nerf the GBG, I have no point in being on, other than to collect & go.
I would listen to a podcast if you made one. Your voice is perfect to listening to when in a car. I wish you strength to deal with the shit show mate. Happy forging
Thanks for the compliment and the kind words, much appreciated. Back in 2005 I had one of the first podcasts created around Wine called Grape Radio. It's gone now but it was popular and a lot of fun.
Couple points from me: Love your videos. I’ve learned a lot and you’re easy to listen to. I don’t like the video adds, especially the nearly porno ones. I have discovered some tricks to avoid some of hem while still getting the benefits. You have about 5 seconds after a video ends to click on all the other incidents without having to watch theirs. The videos and castle give new players and new world starts a big head start. I’m wondering if this is partly to allow new players to catch up faster as it’s a long trip to SAAB
I've quit the game, I was an extremely competitive player and loved it, rose to the top players fast, but since foe has put ads in the game, it doesn't feel the same anymore
I agree with the feel being different. The guts are still there, however by adding benefits for 'no cost' and then pull them back to monetize comes across disingenuous.
My current theory is that Inno has run the numbers and they want to target a different player demographic. Cut loose the elites and monetize the newer players that may not know the difference. Perhaps FoE is nothing now but a gutted Trojan Horse funnel to push players into other games. It’s obvious that a game rooted in optimization of resources (especially time)..wasting so much player time on feature change ad pushes is an insult to past investors, and undermines the core aspect of gameplay efficiency goals for all players across the board. Or maybe they don’t run numbers. Maybe they just do what feels right.

I appreciate that! More frequent posts ahead.

Yes I think they are trying to cater to a different audience which means the clock is probably ticking on lifespan of the game

@@foeadvance7024 exactly right

I'm in the game until I get my Coleseum to level 101. Then I'll be crowned the king of Brisgard. And global chat will worship dezz nuts. 🐿
Mint. I applaud you good sir!
