They don't have to add t6 they need to add more fun events in off season and some changes for crystal in kvk like keeping crysta building as it's level I mean just building, and rebirth ceremony for all players, no need this much update it's getting boring

[@charon3444]

Just imagine they add a new unit type that superseds current cav, archer or inf t5 but does not share equipment/armaments. all that sweet money that the entire playerbase has invested over time is now absolutely useless. That would truly be the end game, because it would just end the game by making 95% of players quit the game xD

Like a new technological era requiring a new special building that needs to be upgraded with an item similar to (and as scarce as) Book of Covenant, maybe with more research revolving around that unique unit which needs said building maxed and to max it we need more of this rare book of covenant type of item meaning it'll take years for f2p/low spenders to unlock it. Meanwhile T4 and T5 healing/training costs and unlock requirements remains the same and this "T6" will be even more expensive because they don't give two shits to f2p/low spenders. It'll totally happen, lilith is desperate to find more ways to monetize the end game which is why all this nerfing is happening

Would be nice if they first address current issues, such as players who don’t help the kingdom in kvk but are still included in matchmaking. Make crystal tech more f2p friendly. Make home kingdom more interesting or give us a recovery kvk to have fun in. Address the fact that we dont have enough rss or speed ups for the level of fighting we would like to have. Bridge the gap between f2p vs p2w kvks. Stop giving us events where we spend more than what the reward is!

@@RokScan yes they said you can pick who goes to kvk. To set the domain you place the people you want to send to kvk, those accounts you dont pick dont go to zones outside of zone 4. But VIP answered me and said that although you chose who goes to LK, your kingdom as a whole gets counted in matchmaking. I mean it could just be an incorrect VIP answer. But thats what they said.

[@boogusnutsack5926]

As someone who's also been playing for 6 years (started in November a month after yourself), I'm very interested in this. In my opinion the game has been pretty much stagnant for 6 years. Our combat and progression has remained untouched and it just feels very stale. There obviously have been additions as you touched on, like equipment, iconic, formations and so forth, but to me those are power creep features. They're just lazy implementations to make us spend more money, where they could instead add another dynamic to the game that's not pay to win and gives us more flexibility. The 6 years of forming balls, smashing them into each other and then calling it a day when the other side does or doesn't have more troops, just doesn't fit with the concept of a strategy game which this is supposed to be. Back in the day RoK was a huge upgrade giving us full move about control of our armies, compared to other games where we had point and march systems, like fire age (I also played, also logged in one day and saw my packages go from 1m of each resource, to 100b of each resource, which wasn't really power creep, it was a complete system redesign and I think using that as an example of power creep is disingenuous) but it's not unique anymore, that's niche appeal it once had to those of us who played these point and click games for the last almost 2 decades has long since worn off, and the idea that RoK is an RTS is just not true anymore, it's just a who has the most big players game now. 100 beats 60 end of story kinda thing. For example, you can't even break up your balls into say 3 smaller balls and try flank around some terrain to encircle because the initial ball that takes the impact just gets flattened in seconds and they turn to crush your flank like it's nothing too. Personally I feel like it's time to change it up and bring the gameplay up to a higher standard. I too am not that interested in the whole modern warfare aspect of their proposal, but I think mobile ranged units and perhaps some additional multipliers like "Damage factor increased by 30% from flank" & Damage factor increased by 50% from rear" or terrain modifiers like swampland bogging down infantry reducing move speed and hit effectiveness, where ranged units can fire over and cavalry aren't impeded, or forested areas where cavalry movement speed and hit effectiveness are decreased by 30% alongside range units hit rate going down by 30% (30% chance your ranged auto and skill just misses outright). I think systems like this could drastically improve the gameplay and add a level or true skill and coordination to the players be they f2p or p2w, rather than it simply being who has the biggest kingdom and which leadership group is best at convincing gigawhales to migrate on tickets. In addition, there are more in-depth games of this genre coming out, age of empires being a prime example and with RoK's already dwindling new-player base I can't see these additional subjectively better games doing them any favors if they keep the statuesque. Most new kingdoms are 70% jumper project (leaving old lose streak kingdoms empty and dead) and 30% new player most of whom never make it past CH17 then uninstall the game. At the end of the day, RoK is a live service game, not a standalone completed game, so you should have no expectation whatsoever that it will just remain the same as it always had to preserve your feeling of "I completed everything in the game", and it's also one that's had little to no updates aside from a slightly different SoC map/system for almost 6 years which is why you feel the way you do. I lost that feeling the moment equipment came out. I think it was what, end of December/January when we got the ark of Osiris update teaser and a few months later kvk teaser, so give or take, 5 years with no update or change aside from power creep features that are literally content less (equipment/formation etc etc) and thrown together in a day "events" which are just a banner in a menu with an item that appears in your bag, wow so ingenious, so riveting. I don't see RoK surviving another 6 years if it remains the way it is today because there's just so many better options out there and more coming, especially with the bar to programming a game like this and making the in game artwork dropping with AI assistance. I bet in 3-4 years a group of friends can make a game that blows RoK out of the water for 1/100th of RoKs initial design budget. TLDR; The game feels stale and devoid of any real strategy, it's just which server spends the most money AKA has the bigger stick wins. It needs some real strategy after 6 years. (PS. Not a salty f2p take, my wife and I are whales in a winning server).

[@Uni0707]

T6 is not scary by itself , the no of farms required to keep up with the healing cost is , it's already super boring to farm 1 and half month for a maximum of 5 days fight . People should never be forced to have farm accounts , reducing healing costs or a buff to gathering speed will solve both t6 shi and kds which are doing recovery kvks imo

[@GrowmietheGreen]

On paper, recovery kvks make sense BECAUSE of the huge healing cost of both rss and speed ups. But it's tragic for kds that are stuck in camps with these kds that are recovering. It's a bxtch, for sure. Healing cost reductions are definitely long due. I personally run 2 main accounts, and I have to run 8 farms just to keep up. And that's not even for a full 30 mil kill kvk. That's generally ballpark of 15-20 mil kills on each. I mean, yeah, if I really push it, I might be able to do it, but then I may find myself way up schitts creek for the next kvk on speed ups. It's vicious on low spenders/f2p for sure

[@justwatching6118]

I'm against t6 units because of the wider gap, but I'm also against giving free stuff to the players (like they mention free city halls and t5), because that defeats the purpose of the strategy game and de-values progress you have been doing (both time and possibly money)

[@TURBORiseOfKingdoms]

There is just no way that T6 can ever be healthy for the game. It will just widen the gap between f2p, low and midspenders and whales even more.

Giving someone T-5 is complete BS and a slap in the face to us seasoned players. We spent time and money obtaining T5. Now the dialogue is about giving T5 away? If your account does not progress to T5, then so be it. It's a game full of challenges and competitions. The odds should not be stacked in anyone's favor who does not earn it the same way everyone else does.

[@uimasterroshi171]

As an old player, I don't see it as a slap in the face. We need new players but over 90% quit because everything takes too long and they get stomped in the moment they reach SoC. I approve of this. We didn't need to hustle in the past with all the gear, armaments, and awakening stuff, it's too much and they can't keep up. I would give them even 1400 godheads when they reach the first SoC. As a seasoned player, I would not restart this game and deal with all these systems currently

[@TheMightymo05]

@@uimasterroshi171 I have players in my kingdom with four-and five-year-old accounts, sitting at 50 million power. Just being an "old" player means nothing. Like it or not, Rise of Kingdoms is a business that tries to satisfy a specific need within the gaming community. However, it is only possible by generating revenue and profits from players like me who spend hundreds and sometimes thousands on the game. Free-to-play players benefit, as well. However, if you start talking about leveling the playing field by giving things away because of how someone feels, then why should we spenders spend our money? What would be the point? There is a set benefit for being loyal to the game and sticking with it while building your account.

[@uimasterroshi171]

@@TheMightymo05 cosmetics and they will come, im tired of excuses to defend bad gameplay Design. The early game sucks, reaching Soc for the first times sucks. The game is losing players becaue of that. The game cant supstain itself with the old players alone. Its not the same game like 4 years ago. The entire early game needs to change but thats kinda impossible. Crystal tech.. as long this exist dont hide behind its a Business Phrase. Enough possibilties too spend money even with free t5. I want a game with a healthy player base and not a further dying game. No new players = less enemy = less reason to spend money= dead game. Why do you think lilith try to change so much now? Game needs alot of rebalancing

[@TheMightymo05]

@@uimasterroshi171 I do not disagree with the mindset of process improvement. Anything and everything can be tweaked or improved. That is not my argument. Consider this: human behavior dictates that when something is new, it's at its peak of popularity. The rise of civilizations (now the rise of kingdoms) added a new twist to the war strategy game. Now, 6+ years later, there was a Global pandemic, an aging population in many parts of the world (Which means more financial responsibility for the younger generation to stay viable), stagnant wages, high inflation rates, staggering employment rates, millennials and Generation Z demographic struggle to find their financial path in life, etc. are valid variables that come into play with the shrieking player base of pay-to-win war strategy games. Rise of Kingdom is no exception. Of course, the game needs new players, just as any other business needs established and new clientele. That is a given. However, if "balancing" is your argument, it should be addressed and focused on at all levels. If Lilith plans to start a charity campaign of giving T5s to players, then they better have a plan for spenders, too. However, any veteran player knows that having T5 without resources and speedups to train and heal means nothing. It would make them just another player who logs on, farms, and does little in battle.

[@uimasterroshi171]

@@TheMightymo05 In the end we don't disagree so much. I should have said there needs to be more than just giving T5 to new players. A lot of rebalancing is needed. When they really bring T6 then T5 needs to be new T4. Reduce the cost for lower tiers and give the new one the current rates. Lilith has forgotten to balance older stuff when they introduce new systems into the game and now we have this big gap. Lilith follows rule 1 Meta has to be Op and doesn't get nerved Rule 2 is if the older stuff gets too far behind the meta you buff it. They try with the museum but that's half-baked. When they would have given new players small advantages over the years we wouldn't talk now about such big gifts like a free unit tier now. Giving new players in the first SoC a few commanders reset would help to make the early game more entertaining and older players would complain less about that benefit Waiting and saving for months is not fun, especially as a new one

[@bballbeasty]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. They need to remove cross season migration entirely before they implement T6.

[@corndog5667]

I agree. Endgame combat troops should not change, especially when I want to focus on the other newly implemented systems ( iconic/armaments). I would seriously consider, if i want to continue playing the game or not, if endgame combat changed, or if they added different tier troops/troop. However, maybe "T6" econ tech would be cool. where we can get more RSS and speeds i.e. healing bonuses or more hospital capacity or more troop return after kvk etc. Like an industrial age economy tech to help players get more out of the endgame we already have. I think players would love something like that.. I like the idea of incorporating the civilization to the new "era", however it shouldnt be something hard for F2P players to also get and it shouldnt require a currency ( shards/books) that ive been using to get passports or things that we all havent been hoarding since we got t5. Also not really a big fan of automatically giving players t5 troops. I had to work hard for my t5 troops. They should to.

[@JulianoFagundes]

[@kaiyaroyds5015]

mythic commanders, stronger than legendary...new META allows everyone to have something to focus on and gives new players something actually good end game that they can work on instead of saving gold heads till kvk 3 new heads above gold heads also means that old players cant just immediately max out the new meta like weve seen the last year or so

[@HitmanJ-x7k]

personally I think new era new level of troops just furthers the gap between f2p/low/mid spenders and whales. Crystal tech already puts a VERY large gap between them even at T5. Whales have crystal tech and mulitple levels of gear where newer players are battling it out with purple gear and a few pieces of legendary just to get slaughtered in the balls. If they want to do tier 6 or an era they need to do away with crystal tech

[@微风-r4r]

I don’t know if anybody play this game, it’s pretty underrated. But Lilith has this game called Art of conquest. It also has this quote on quote tier 6 unit that get unlocked after achieving tier five for all the troop types. Similar to call of dragons it changes with the civilizations. As a old Lilith game player, I can tell you ptw is definitely a big part of it, but they limit it to certain modes. So in this case if they do something similar I wouldn’t be upset.

If they want to keep people engaged then listen to what the community want... We want a more engaging home KD experience... We want improved access to older commanders through the expedition... We want to engage more with the museum system but can’t because of the lack of currency…We want to fight more in KVK but the resource problem is extreme, or because 2nd and 3rd domains ruined the matchmaking… We want to build up VIP level but you can only do that if you’re a massive spender or are in a kingdom with massive spenders (F2P and low spenders that have been loyal and active for YEARS are not considered to be Very Important Players????)… We want to engage with KVK events like Kau Karuak but cant because 60% of it is after the fighting ends and you have no troops just so Lilith can make more money from crystal tech… List could go on but I think they’re the main grievances a lot of players feel

im pretty sure all of us that have been at the end game for the last couple of years have more than enough research speedups for tier6.

[@learn2play100]

Most games eventually move the end-game goal posts. They need to do this to keep people interested. In World of Warcraft, for example, you would need to start over with farming your end-game gear after you farmed out the added levels after every expansion. Clash of Clans and Raid Shadow Legends also do the same thing in the mobile space - adding a new level of walls or heroes. They need to constantly add new content, or they die. This almost always includes moving the end-game goal posts.

[@FroobyPebbles]

Sorry for the long post but, imo the problem is it’s too rushed. Gold key comms almost immediately become irrelevant. Same with K2. Some YT guides are literally just don’t invest in anyone for 9 months until you hit end game. How is that fun? SOC comms rushed and moved up to K3. I honestly think the answer is to slow down. Maybe have two rounds of kvk 1. Have 2 rounds of kvk 2. This gives more time to save but also more time to actually enjoy early game commanders that are essential no more than filler at this point. Plus the museum stays relevant cause they still need the boosts, even when expertised. But stop the rush. Maybe it takes a year to hit end game instead of 8 months. But as it stands right now you either have a gap between p2w and f2p or you completely any good faith with players that spent their money by giving f2p players free t5… I do think there should be ONE FREE commander reset at kvk3/soc. They have one at the very start of the game, why not at the intro to the end game so everyone can get their hands on at least one meta commander, even if they can’t max them.

[@martinjavierconti4639]

the answer for that is commander reset, when reach kvk 3 or 4, you recover all your gold heads investment

[@FroobyPebbles]

@@martinjavierconti4639 right that’s only part of it though. Still doesn’t fix the rush the “first 9 months of the game because everything is at the end game” problem. Which as I said I think the answer is to slow down and embrace the early game. Plus allows more time to develop tech for f2p, or whales to boost their accounts. But when everyone gets to end game, they are at least relevant

Crystal tech was smart by Lilith cause it basically made T6 that you have to get over and over again. I think you nailed it on the topic of higher tiers though, it always precedes the fall. GoW did it to me 10 years ago, I’m sure RoK will do it eventually. I think the real problem is the gap between whale and low spender. F2P is always going to be at the most disadvantaged but even mid-low spenders now have no incentive to buy anything. Unless you’re going to consistently spend hundreds a month you’re just not any more competitive than you are now. VIP, gear, armaments, commanders, crystal tech all give a huge advantage you just can’t overcome by farming and barb chaining to improve.

Unlocking t5 for free at kvk4 and introducing another troop to unlock after t5 isn't about catching new players up at all, it's about forcing spenders to spend more to re-"get ahead". They can't force f2p to spend, but they know if they give f2p free sht that spenders already paid for and then make a new class of sht you can buy to get ahead all over again, it's essentially the same revenue generation as getting the f2p's to spend, but it's the spenders that are covering it.

Yeah I've seen that in game before, very cool!!

I think if it is more like a new unit type then that could be good as long as it doesn’t have higher stats than t5

[@Jacob-camo2521]

Im already struggling to catch up with others if they added new levels i would quit the game

[@OmniarchOfficial]

Might add automatic T5 unlock at kvk4 tho which would help you catch up!

[@Jacob-camo2521]

@OmniarchOfficial if that's the case I would be happy but only time will tell

[@chinujangu]

Wow you explained the whole thing in the best way possible, I don’t wanna compare it to age of empires but we all know how age of empire started dying when they announced age of empire 3 with Musketeers and gunsman… Age of empire 2 was a big hit but it kept dying after each new sequel

[@PmotheNavyVet]

anyone else get flashbacks to Dr. Strange and the Avengers everytime Omniarch says "endgame"

[@JJbullfrog1978]

If musketeers make it to the game, they should be like glass cannons literally when it comes to melee combat

There's a big danger in upgrading all accounts to T5. Imagine the cost of migrating all your 50M power farms with your main to a new kd😬

[@AhmedAnilll]

After t6 all t4 needs to stop playing, I heard lilith said after t6 people who reach end game kvk get automatically t5 this is suxx how about all our efforts to this game lol

[@quetzm1150]

I would agree By T6(infantery,Archers,…), but I dont agree, when they are with Pistols or something Like that.

[@notrando9233]

i wouldn't mind them adding a new ranged set of units that still need time to setup, not a moving march that has ranged attacks

[@Smorckbalt]

When u says introducing a new troop type I. The bame I I instantly thought of the celestials from Call of dragons (celestials are a type of flying ranged magical units better then normal mages) so they might add this for each troop tier as a new troop type with it's new comanders equipment and so it's unic training building

[@yeanna9718]

Thank for informative video, I don't want any more tier units or new era. ps. love the background music :)

losing the status like you say hurts - I was in clash royale once ranked in the top 3k over months and when they added new levels the game just felt like sh*t

[@pauldivincenzo1578]

Wild they're doing this instead of implementing more fun events like you've covered previously

[@nelvinabrenica1244]

if they probably put t6 unit, best possible maybe reduced all research durations in the academy, t4-t5 unit cost, healing rss cost, even equipments material requirements, building cost and even building duration. idk, probably the best way for me.

[@hjs8092]

The age of discoveries should introduce the portuguese civilization, as a major actor of this historical period.

The stories for kvk is like a hidden gem in plain sight. If they just focused on developing different stories rather than trying to implement annoying changes, it would be far better and easier. Oh well.............

[@Tracker824]

13:50 Double rally on fort 😂

[@charon3444]

There are two things that dont make a lot of sense to me: -first the integration into current system. Would they be use stats from current equipment? What will the power level be? If they are too strong and greatly devalue the gear people have worked on for 3-6 years, 50%+ of active playerbase in old kds will get so pissed off at lilith they quit on the spot and wont even look back. -Second, the argument of historical ages doesnt make any sense to me. The invention of gunpowder predates the historical height of both plate armor and heavy cavalry. The technology used in the game with fully plated infantery and heavy cavalry is clearly more aligned to the renaissance not the feudal age. Full plate armor saw its height of usage in the 15th century, heavy cavalry in the 16th/17th century. Cannons where used in the 13th century, heavy bombards in the 14th. First usage of gunpowder in combat started in 10th century. Early cannons where used in 13th century, heavy bombards in the 14th century. In the 15th centuries long guns arquebus where already quite commonly used. Its probably hollywood that makes people belive gunpowder is this crazy new tech that only rolled out after 1800. But its just complete bs.

[@Gamblor10]

Our KD had players live at this event and i watched all the videos you had mentioned run another poll on a "new troop type" with the CoD like ranged combat. i also drew the same conclusions about the test bed kvk for cod style ranged. changing the fundamental combat mechanics of ROK (and adding guns) is very risky. even if its same stats, re-plumbing how ROK works is risky. players like the simplicity of smashing big balls together. If the overwhleming majority of players want CoD like ranged combat -----> it should go into the base game If the overwhleming majority of players do NOT want CoD like ranged combat -----> it should NOT go into the base game If there's an inconsistent mix of interest, depending on the level of interest -----> make some number of KvK stories be it 1, 2, 3 etc to allow for the mechanic, without breaking the core game If people want more mechanics, I've always thought the CoD artifact was cool. 1 artifact per march, with a user-controllable active ability you can pop at your own discretion. More control in the game, more like a MOBA, and more customization (ie move around to different marches)

[@yeetusdeletus6475]

@OmniarchOfficial Id love to hear your suggestion on my current situation. I have a bit over a years worth of speedups saved that can unlock t5. Do you think if t5 auto unlock’s we would get some form of compensation? Or would I just be wasting a year of speedups for nothing.

[@jsktv9863]

I fully agree with everything you said. As a new Player (about 1 year) I havent reichen tier5 yet but I am almost there 😂... now thinking about starting oder again sucks. And just adding tier5 after reaching kvk4 wont help because Equipment needs to be strong also. Otherwise your healing costs will explode. I know that "changing the goalposts " from another game I played 7 years and it lead to a lot of unsatisfied players and a dead game unless you are a whale.

[@arielyuille4472]

The tier 6 units maybe used for range smite commanders, musketeers or cannon groups

[@shun6291]

I wish they cared as much about new players when I was new player. Nowadays, it feels like just because your account is older, you should be punished. Like recent restricted cross-season migration, commander reset while entering kvk3 for new players rumours, now as you have mentioned unlocking T5 automatically when you enter soc (even if everything are mere ideas or thoughts).

[@dabloxfruitsguy]

i have 30k power what comaners should i invest in

[@andiweich7071]

I completele agree with your concerns, just do not add tier 6. More diffrent kvk modes would also be better than t6.... basicly, leave the coregame, but pls give us more events, more diffrent kvks and so on

[@andiweich7071]

I mean, I guess I would get used to another unit, but if there is an actual t6, I'll quit the day the update gets announced

[@alexgarcia8365]

I don’t mind a T6 but I belive it should be a single troop (that changed based on civilization you pick) and you are required to take everything to T5 to get said upgrade.

[@gonewiththewind998]

I've never seen a double fort rally, must be rare like double yolks haha

[@ant5454]

If they give out free t5, im out. Spent 2 years as a low spend free to play, just started t5 research the other day, and youre meaning to tell me that people are gonna get them free in their first soc? No fckin thanks. All that work and time, for nothing.

[@claschristoffersen-bp9wp]

they could add a T6 units but make it almost instantly unlocked but cost a good amount of rss to unlock making it so big whales dosent have to use speed ups on it but only rss. I think that would be okay at least for me.

[@thewybear64476]

I think it will ruin the vibe of rise of kingdoms if you have machine gun towers firing at legionaries.

[@basdemanaz]

I get where you're coming from with "giving" new players in kvk tier 5's, but for me (and also you it in correct) getting t5 feels like a big accomplishment

[@HunterRutan-bp3vp]

Nah us ftp players are so cooked lol

[@OmniarchOfficial]

😂😂

[@scar4856]

Great explanation omniarch... and my guess there will be 6th March added with the new era

[@ROKTommie3Swords]

The strategy of game is arguably more interesting than the collection. I think map structures and building commanders is a better route for content addition. In all of history an engineer has been construction, not fighting. So why not add builders instead of t6. Faster building commanders would influence specialization march such as rally and garrison. All in all I agree, t6 widens gap and promotes unforeseen content that could destroy the playability.

[@S.D.0000]

Players will be more interested with revamped old and key commanders than new Tier or New unit.

[@Deehyaz]

Just an idea. What if tier 6 is just a single powerful unit. Kinda like the titan in age of mythology.

[@Coreldog_]

As someone who doesn't have T5, I don't think it should be free, it is supposed to be a milestone, an achievement for hard work, not something you get after some time

[@johntran360]

love how we can keep progressing if this happens

[@catchyourdrift]

I personally think that lilith should leave the upgrading of tech to players since it can be use for zeniths, mge etc. As for "T6", it would be better just to have upgrade on special unit troop civ. not additional troop unit.

[@JayDubbs6]

Matchmaking should prioritize Kingdom kill points and deaths. It is a better indicator of willingness and capability to fight than power. Formula for matchmaking continues to need improvement.

We all have to navigate around these goddamn rivers... How about weaponized canoes? Water based arrow towers more or less. Faster, equal damage, but limited mobility 😂.

[@Mila-gx1dg]

I understand the need to get new players to t5 and get them more competitive with other kingdoms. But I better get a hefty return of speeds in my inbox😂 If they did implement some sort of new tier that would also be helpful to get us to that step.

Moving the end game after KVK 4 to T5 wrecks the power level of every farm...All my farms go to T5 ha! Our kingdom already wants to keep power down!

All they need to do is add a new game mode that promotes more action/fighting. The major problem for me is the severe lack of action in the game.

In my eyes any new tier update without making healing cost a half is begging for me to quit and im nice person so i will .

[@RONAN1-2]

I think the way you explained it wouldn’t be too bad for the game, but if they make for example, T6 infantry/cav/arch.. I’d be tempted to quit despite the fun I have playing the game

[@Soft_heart_studio]

Maybe it will work, if they adjust anything, like if normal t5 get in a year, so adjust same as t6. And t5 become t4 replacement. Ofcourse cheaper rss. My wild mind think if they add industrial era, i cant say it is rise of kingdom anymore.

[@Gamertank2.0]

Honestly T6 looks bad but it can potentially introduce new commanders like Charles XII, Peter the Great, Fredrick the Great Napoleon Bonaparte, and Duke of Wellington

[@Brunolag1]

I’m a f2p player showed been struggling to get T5 for a while T6 will be a pain

[@gonewiththewind998]

I love your content. But I respectfully disagree about losing the title of achieving end game. There isn't a notification or anything fancy telling you that you have reached "end game." For me, I was just glad to get to T5 and don't have to worry about farming forts to get the item to upgrade my castle and get all the T5 stuff to compete with the top players. This was years ago, now, besides kvk, doing dailies in home KD waiting for a match making is boring and I would love to see new content in the game especially since everyone in the end game is at the same point. For crystal tech, we have to research all this stuff again and again every kvk, it's kind of like the potential new end game your talking about. Also, what about VIP? They keep raising the levels of VIP albeit really slowly, isn't that creating new chase? I think as long as they implement the new T6 or whatever in a way that's less painfully grindy as getting all the barb fort items, I would be happy to have new content. Other genre of games like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail - even more popular than RoK have increase character level, new stories, new end game content, so there is more chase and exciting things awaiting the players. In conclusion, I think that as long as these new end game content isn't being added at a too fast rate, it'll be a nice change from the mundane long into xx accounts, pop tokens, send out gatherers. I would welcome the new changes.
