Hi there,
sorry for our long absence, but we have changed some internal processes. For everyone who cares about we changed our development process to scrum. Our 1st sprint is done and we are in the middle of our 2nd sprint and of course we have already some results we want to introduce.
1st we finished the screendesign and technical part of the new achievement system
2nd we are still busy with redesign old screens and fit them to the new layout
And last but not least the avatargenerator is nearly done
Our plan is to update the public beta this week there will be a lot more features, bug fixes and content. Looking forward to your comments 🙂
Looks great , cant wait to play around with it 😀
It looks very good. I hope the Achievements will bring some rewards…
rainy it looks nice and we’re all eager to have it on worlds we play, but there is another thing planned for the next update we’re all taking as the most important thing:
The new duel system. Or the old rebalanced… As it will completely change the playing style, not just the looks.
Can you please give some details about that new system?
Also, probably not that important but still… Item/jobs changes. Ok, maybe you want to keep that one still a secret, but at least tell us will Health Points bonuses from items will be nerfed? See… That skill on items gives a too much of advantage to only one class.
there will be changes in duel system and item balance as soon as we update the beta you will see what else has been changed
Finally a post 🙂
The avatargenerator: You can change your avatar, or you choose one time, and you will be this forever?
And great update, I hope you send it to the regular servers soon 🙂
Wow… devs are back from death! 😉
Finally some news, thanks!
For most of the changes, I’ll just wait & see what comes up –
BUT I have 2 big concerns:
– Please enable stack selling again!
– Please don’t invent the new window design without a (working!) minimize-button!
WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW, its looks like ammmazing!!!! 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮
Good post! lets see what you got next week. looking forward to it.
whoa !!!
i didnt even read that page,,looks awesome.
hope you have changed and added some damage to the fort after battles.
oh yeah, could you pass on a message for me?
tell morty to slap jouas,, he is having trouble smoking and breathing at the same time.
looking great,,thats a lot of hours work.
two thumbs.
Howdee,
thanks for updating. I know you are busy on development but try to give us some crumbs from time to time. :o)
That was a pretty radical change..
Was it the development team, or the product owner that wanted scrum?
@ketjatekos
No, I think you can change it anytime. At least I hope so.
wait is the achievement that thing that did stand under the same button as poker like a month ago?
because if it was I had a job report of it (that disappeared) do I keep the achievement that I completed or do I need to restart it?
@ReBow
It was more or less the team and the product owner 😀 I think me make a very good progress with this new process and we have less disruption from other departments 😉
Thats good to hear. I guess Scrum has its advantages.
Wish you all a good summer, and hopefully the SM doesnt tie you all to your desks.
Get some vacation.. 😉
1.32 is up on beta. YAY 😀
Fancy soft leg guards that are changed:
Current bonuses:
+2 Mobility
+19 Health Points
+30 Dodging
+25 Aiming
Bonuses those pants will have in version 1.32:
+2 Dexterity
+1 Mobility
+1 Charisma
+20 *Health Points*
+20 Dodging
+20 Aiming
+25 *Leadership*
Rainy… Please, I’m begging you now on my knees… Will you please stop with soldier class overpumping? That class is already overpowered, why in every single new update you give that class more candy and forget other three classes?
I had fun re-doing my avatar 🙂
however, I still find it very inconvenient that Crafting has no direct access
fiddling throgh these tabs, then browsing through the recipes is tedious – there should be a button, replacing “Poker for example”
I think that poker should be accessed through own town’s Saloon
but anyway, it’s good that the update’s there, I’m thankful for re-adjusting of recipes too 🙂
i just saw that, it’s f*^%ing crap. what are you trying to do????
HP for soldiers, leadership for them too.
worker are 30% fair enough; duelers get to duel before battle plus critical hits.
ADVENTURER OH my GOD!! +10% luck, i am going to find union flag quicker. lol 1%+.00000000000000000000000000001% dam that a LOT.
PLEASE INCREASE ADVENTURER BONUS AS IN GAME PLAY WISE.
1 option is WE GET 50% more dodge bonus in duels and battle.
2 option is WE GET 50% more toughness and reflexes in duel DEFENSE.
3 option is INCREASE the 10% lucks to 40%luck. that be a change.
YOU ALREADY DESTROYED OUR LUCK BY HAVING HOLIDAY SET, SO GET ON TRACK. PLEASE!!!!!!
Cool… nice… but:
1- Please, enable stack selling!
2- Enable (or write code) ‘unsubscribe’ in fort battles (yep, sometimes we want get off there)
AND
“Soldier’s Tower level 3 grants the same bonus as a Adventurer’s tower level 4 in a medium fort”
i just saw this in forum. IS THE REALLY TRUE??
LOL LOL LOL…
also,
ADD OPTION of 10,000$ to CHANGE avatar combined with 5 nugget which you have introduced. some people don’t pay for rpg games. you guys are now defeating THE heading FREE TO PLAY, lol. what good it is if you cann’t even have a pick.
you guys are turning this game in to Grepolis now, where 6months of city could be taken over in few hrs. and only option is start OVER.
i am saying bye bye soon, it will not effect me, but the quality of the game will be and IS being DESTROYED.
OR i got a better OPTION, WHEEL OF FORTUNE
you spin a wheel and you get a random gift each day.
MORE spins NEED 10 NUGGETS(good profit this way).
-FREE avatar change(5%chance) so, one can change avatar 5 tome in 100days. reasonable.
-FREE things(cookies, bread, cracker) those type that gives you little bonus.
-100 xp
-50 xp
-10 xp
-10$
-50$
-100$
-so on.
PLEASE REPLY WHEN YOU CAN.
🙂 you made me happy. THANKS FOR THE QUICK FIX UP.
you can disregard my second part of post now
:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
*reminder the Fancy soft leg guards thing is still all solider
*”Soldier’s Tower level 3 grants the same bonus as a Adventurer’s tower level 4 in a medium fort.” is this TRUE?
*their are unisex running around. they are using the random to get a female or male while their character is the other sex.
MORE THINGS
can you PLEASE add eyes(eye color) as one thing that will be PAY NUGGET to change.
and eyebrows color and EYEBROW’s expression like lazy look, eyebrow’s up, normal, hairy as separate. BECAUSE as eyebrows expression depends what you are going and time and you can color you eyebrows so PLEASE make it FREE.
well soldiers r overpowered
Finally! But good 😀
Did you already think aout my suggestion of change class one more time?
When do you put the fort shop ?
in the avatar creation picture theres a choose sex chioice and skin pigmant choice. will these be added to the current avatar create screen
Wooow! Nice work, i hope to see this soon on the beta.
The avatar design looks more great than the last time … Congrats, this a better job 🙂
+ you need to implememt different types of rewards in game … like in the achivement system etc.
soo close but so fare
Is the crafting system finished? Has a 200-250 level recipe for each profession been added?
Any plans for items with no bonuses or will they just be throw aways?
We of Brazilian forum have some ideas of crafts.
Please,take a look at some of these links

Ok, I have a huge complaint about the new graphit_glue(or whatever the name). From what I understand, it will be something like the Bayonet, but it will only add 20-40 dmg(not so big of a difference between 40 and 75). But this graphit thingy it’s ridiculously easy to make. This will lead to one big disaster:
No one will buy any more bayonets for more than let’s say 1k$, but if you would have to buy all the products for a bayonet I am sure it will cost more than 2k$.
So devs please do something about this, because if this update gets on the public worlds, it will mean the end of all Bayonet Businesses.
what the speaker symdol resemble in the right cornoer of screen
is audio going to be added
It *IS* already enabled. When somebody says your name in the chat (right capitalization!) or somebody whispers to you, there’s a decent *bloink* sound… but there’s still plenty of room for improvement, see my thread on the beta forums: http://forum.westbeta.innogames.de/showthread.php?t=1412
Just a quick off-topic question – why are some of my comments (and most likely others’ too) “awaiting moderation” – some of them since months?
Hello,
it´s very good,but the avatar generator what is with the old Avatars?
The old avatars can still be used (at least for now, on the Beta). And that’s good, I still have the old ones, couldn’t take the step to a new one yet, although I’m rolling the dice nearly every day to see if there’s a nice combination for me ^^
When does the update comes?
Is Poker improved and open for “real” game-money?
that will never happen. you are asking for basically money transfer which they have blocked.
so… soldier gets more bonuses again? f*ck you!
i like the knew game deseign, I just came from vacation NICE 😀
erm
bar brawl any one?
more news please!!
20 days without news 🙁
@William Manney
1 month, no post:(
But, some news, the update it’s here, I think .net it’s already done, and it’s coming to all of us.
Waiting for new news …
Forge is dead…
8h56min for 1 bayonet… afff, no more…
@Paulo
No it’s not. That’s another time for something else. 1 bayonet will still be 5 mins
Yes classius, you´re right, thanks. I´ve have made a sharpened weapon now and take 5min.
But, tw-db is outdated? Take a look:

@Paulo
Neah, that’s some kind of time for getting all the items necessary. But it’s very poorly calculated.
We’re waiting for some news of what you are working on.
