SX17 Hero Recruitment & an announcement - Rise of Empires Ice & Fire

[@richt3606]

Pond, I'm going to miss you so much. And not solely because of ROE. These past three years, I've always thought of you of the friend I never met. Thank so much for everything, for making me a better player, for making it more fun. And yeah, the game is getting old for many reasons, but you always made it feel fresh and fun like when I first started. Even when the game itself didn't feel that way. All the best with your family and life. And I sincerely hope there's more from Pond in the future. I'll sure be looking.

[@jaseace4]

You may have rubber stamped my own decision. End of an Era. Thank you for everything Grandpa ROE

[@Raven-S346]

Sad to see you go. You have been one of great supporters of us players when game Devs never provided further support. I am not surprised tho. Many of players feel the same. When you did anouncements, I thought the same myself. It was great to have you and your content really made difference for my gameplay. I am sure that's valid for majority players. After all I always check if new video is on. I think Devs lost one of greater ambassadors they ever had. Thank you for supporting us and happy non game times.

[@VerbalKarate]

Learned so much about how to play this game from you, mate. Thank you. And best wishes back in the real world.

[@leogauthier6503]

I rubber stamped my decision earlier this year. Same reasons, it’s not what it use to be. Great friends, lots of fun but realized it took to much time away from my family! Thank you for your advice, content and guidance in time of the unknown. Appreciate everything you have done for us! Good luck on your endeavors and take care of yourself and your family!

[@pgp1967]

Thank you for all these years, you were a reference, by far the best, to better understand this game. Who do you suggest to help us in your absence? Strong hug!

[@bmello1980]

Thanks for everything you’ve done pond, I think we all understand your decision. I’m sorry the developers didn’t give out proper compensation. Good luck with everything.

[@fadisaad1243]

End of an era indeed! I left few months ago due to lack of time and other real life priorities, but kept watching your videos from time to time. ROE without Pond will definitely not be the same!

[@Artois19.]

Ah the end of an era, been watching your vids from the start. I hope you reconsider but I understand your decision. All the best Pond 👍

[@avinashrai6830]

Gonna miss you bro. Started watching your stuffs a couple of years back . Immensely helped me develop. Especially for the newer states I'm sure you were very helpful. Been playing since March 2020 may pack my bag soon and get back to the real life. Gonna miss the recruitment videos

[@allenfitzpatrick8485]

I actually left the game two years ago for the same reasons pond is. But oddly i still liked to watch pond play and give advice. This game will not be the same without him.

[@evlem]

I'm very sad to see you leave, you've made such contributions to the community in teaching people about this very complicated game. I wish you all the best with family, work, life and you know where to find find us if you ever wanna chat, or coming back 😇 Thank you for everything, big thank you 💜 And for all video tips as well. 🙏 All the best! /Em

[@nbeser]

Hey mate, I learned so much from you. It is really sad that you are ending this. However, I completely understand your points. Thank you very much for everything.

[@chrisloveday4694]

I'm guessing he is gone... Three months and no videos... Such a shame.

[@DrewofDrew]

I can understand your decision Pond, I am also thinking of going as I have been playing as long as you and the game no longer is the fun it used to be. Wish you well mister 😊

[@robertmcgee8734]

Going to be missed massively you help me and my team when we first started playing this game and we still watch your video. Wish you all the best and your family as well

[@rudyheem]

Sad to see you leave, your video's thought my literally 90% of my knowledge of the game. My first time as official first time king etc all went well because of you. You just voiced everyone's frustrations with the game. Unrealistic differences between spenders and non spenders or even mediate spenders. Crazy. Wish you all the best and thanks again

[@don_pablone]

Its one of the biggest lost over this game. And we never did a live together. Thank you for everything.

[@PilsburyDoughboyEsquire-lu9ij]

Can't believe you lasted this long Pond. I packed in 18 month ago. It was a great game when I first started but it just become an unfair arms race. Greed wins.

[@nelle159]

Thank you for everything Pond,it's been a real pleasure

[@robertusie6338]

Thank you for sharing... Will miss you.

[@markbanks5979]

Will be missed you have helped me learn the game ,agree with you I will never win as I am not a spender .over 3years and I still well behind on hero’s

[@kingarthur4087]

Yes, I feel exactly the same Pondy, I've been playing since the very early days of the game and it's now more a routine than a pleasure. It's obvious that the Devs would try to take as much money as possible from the game but it has truly ruined the game, there is much to much to spend on now and no realistic way that people that don't want to spend tens of thousands dollars on the game can compete. End of an Era but I'll quit after the next season with good memories before they start to sour. Thanks for the quality videos and all the info. 🙏

[@hahafu168]

Sad to hear you go ,thanks for everything and wish you and your family with all the best .

[@Roelucki4Singh]

Wish and love from India. Thanks for all those information you share on ROE. All the best

[@jakerawls4727]

Good for you man! The fortress bug that ruined our season 2 of RoC ruined it for me. I'm in a big spenders alliance and have certainly spent more money on this game than I'd like to admit. I've also thought about leaving more and more recently

[@aymenmenzer3272]

It's our last season all thanks pond for everything you shared with us ❤

[@AnaForestSpirit]

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, you are a big part of the pleasure I’ve got from the game 🤗 it’s very sad to know we will not hear your “hey ladies and gents…”, but I totally understand your reasons to give up. So I wish you the best and hope you will still be on KZbin with some other content.

[@BlackRadRoe]

Really sad to loose another big head of the game. Thanks for all that you tried to do for the players and also for the content creators. You helped many of us to learn the game and we will do miss your videos. Anyway just have fun in real life 👊

[@lambyceolotto]

Hi Pond, had the SAME feeling a few months ago, felt very bad when I left my alliance but I relised as well that, as you, I was not able to keep up. Be good man, I really enjoyed your contents

[@stefanoesu426]

Pond, it has been a hell of a ride. lots of love

[@robthefarmer007]

The game is very addictive . Best regards to you moving forward. Most of us can also understand your frustrations.

[@davidashton2370]

Hi pond, sorry to hear that you’re calling it a day with ROE. You’ve been an amazing ambassador for the game and you will be missed. Best wishes to you and the family moving forward. If you decide to continue with the channel am always happy to spread the word for you.. for me and am sure i lot of others ROE would not have gotten the last 4 years from us without your content. Thank you so much for everything .. Good Luck and have Fun my friend.

[@OverkiLL-347]

Sad to see you leaving. Teached me a lot of good stuff through your videos, especially when I started to play this game. Devs will lose their link to the community and the community will lose a good soul. Take care man and all the best to you and your little family 🍀

[@megangraham2467]

I agree with you - heroes are ridiculously hard to get and the banner events are a joke - you get everything you don't want or don't need!! Free-to-play players are penalized. The devs are greedy and provide a very poor service. So many people are giving up!! I've played for 3 years and have been thinking of quitting for the last 5 months. It is a grind and it is repetitive and unless you spend mega bucks you will always be behind. They have destroyed the game for many people. You will be missed but I'm sure most understand!

[@viktormarkus7291]

100% agree. yesterday i used 300 tickets on El Cid banner recruitment and got 3 S heroes. What a disgusting game. Even if i spend some on the game I still not compete against hard spenders, so i just need to hide at the corner beacause i can't beat bought castles. I had more than a year pause because of the same stuff, not i come back and saw devs are made tons of skins to castles and heroes just to get more and more money. They are gold diggers. If they want free money just put another castle skin or heroes skins out. Thats not a game for me its a boring unfair unenjoyable game. I quit too

[@allenfitzpatrick8485]

I left about 18 months ago for the same reasons, but I liked to watch LP to see how he was going. Thanks for the time you put in teaching us Pond.

[@hattorihanzo3544]

I said a long time ago to my wife. When pond says enough than enough. Thank you so much for your input man. It is must . Lime you said i brush my teeth and change tiles.....too much 😂

[@MrBakedDaily]

Sprised it took 4 years, wouldnt mind seeing you start off on a newly opening game in the future.

[@Vanessa-tv4xp]

Hi spielst du noch rise of castle oder hast du aufgehört? Frage weil du keine videos mehr machst?

[@italomortola2650]

The truth is if you are not a big spender you don’t have any chance to be a relevant player ever, no matter how good understanding of the game you have or how good you are on strategies, period. I've been thinking about quitting ROE too.

[@xlr8r17]

Small spenders are still relevant, especially if well organized and paired with other small-medium spenders but ultimately the game centers around the whale accounts two to three times as strong as everyone else.

[@floki5605]

This is 100% correct, and undoubtedly the biggest flaw with this POS game. Everyone is quitting for a reason. Devs and their low iq decisions have killed something that could've lasted over a decade.

[@floki5605]

100% facts, the sad cold truth about this POS game

[@nealbaker2775]

Sorry to see you go Pond. You have provided so much excellent advice and support for us players. Your decision is probably echoed across the game. Time for the grand dad of ROE to retire and take his place next to the sunny window. Thanks again Pond

[@Barinnn]

Sad to see you go. Could you make a last video regarding the forging?

[@Draviskos]

Noooo, your videos are so valuable to all of us players 😢. But I do understand and wishing you and your family all the best 🙏🙏

[@es106395]

Gonna miss you and your game analysis. I stopped daily play a month ago. Dont miss it. I play every 3 days to keep my peace shield. Works great for me. I treat myself to a gaming session on the weekend and i enjoy the game more now even though i dropped in rank for my state. Best wishes to you and your fam. 😊

[@ZatarrA88]

I think all of us soon or later we will understand he’s decision, the game start to be a routine of our life, like how he said , Is like a job , and definitely is becoming boring and costly day by day, we understand you very well Brother wish you all the best

[@danielswantono]

10months since he quit and the dev still dont get it. Soon we all gonna quit the game.

[@eliasboudebes7903]

We will miss you bro i had to stop play daily it almost cost me my marriage 😅 Good luck brother

[@LPius]

Hope you are reading this. You made such great Videos for all Players outside, so good informations. Thank you for all of that ❤. I leave the Game end 2022, hope you Family profit from your decision. Best luck and health for you Lord Pondtail! I guess you dont know how much you helped all the Players around the Globe, but Legends leave Games too. Sad how the developers thank you for your work. Bye 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@VazgenManukyan]

I am so sad that you are stopping this channel. I have learned so much from you. The game maker should pay you to keep this channel as you are the best on KZbin propagating the game. I hope you will continue the channel.

[@rickyshearer6560]

Thank you Pond!!

[@DaisyDaisyFilms]

Feel the same, good to battle against you in BoH last week (b81 Cluster fvck)

[@ArthurCallaghan]

So sorry to,lose you. You been so inspirational. You will be missed. Good luck.

[@TheVoiTube]

Well 2 months ago got C30... then "Ok thats it. I am done" A lot of work to enjoy C30 only little.

[@floki5605]

Hope you and your family are doing well Pond, you made a good decision to quit the game.

[@Yedaanna13]

Enjoy your free time with your family and friends, enjoyed your wisdom and time. I left 6 months ago and saved time and $.

[@mkriseofempires3759]

Sorry to hear that, I quit roe over 5 month too

[@BitaBahramzadeh]

Can you please tell me how to find these awards? Clash of Provinces Competition:VI

[@ekxs2481]

It's a great decision to stop playing the game .. we will miss you for sure. I have no interest in X17 heroes but I was excited to see a new video on your channel, you are like family now to all roe players.. 😄

[@ekxs2481]

That said, can I have your castle? 🤭🤭 I'm never going to spend enough to get Ramses 🙈

[@YuroKashine]

YOOO this is exactly my problem that he addressed while almost only getting cnut's. Ive spent like 300 bux on scrolls last season (SX1) and i spent an F ton on maxing boudica, only to pull 1 sakura out of 1000+ scrolls. Guess what, i got like 10 ciceros and 4 Hunks. Just amazing how BaLlAnCEd this game is haha and how free to play it is... yes best free to play game ever XD definately not a spenders game.

[@saD-qj2zx]

Anyone knows how to set timer for guild, it doesn't work for me 😐 I'm r5

[@junwatanabeenrolledagent1765]

Thank you for everything ! Maybe just play once in a while..

[@MrGorobu]

Good on you mate, left long ago and so much better for it.

[@markrussell6881]

You have been an invaluable guide to the game for me and many others. I totally understand why you need to move away from the game. You will be missed.

[@nileshsutar8880]

@LordOfPondtail I have a question ,9 days left to finish roc season ,if I buy elite reward can I get all rewards at this time

[@DarylDSpivey]

Going to miss you Pond!

[@rafickgovender916]

I've learned a lot from your videos about this game,sad to see you leave but it's true it's just a big gap between free to play and spenders that really sucks

[@AbbasDoostalivand]

Hello, my friend, you have not forgotten me. Find the castle😊

[@juliearnfield4323]

Any one any info when the roc season will be happening?

[@sg-nl5je]

Covid19..... Introduced ROE 😊 . Good youtubers already left game much more due to Dev manipulating , p2w , 2 months gap between edens.... I already lost interest after 3 years and half . Maybe my last eden too . I have not spent any single penny on this game .

[@sindencostas]

I played ROE for approximately 4 years, starting in state 53, joining the KiL alliance. then join the alliance End ... migrate together to state 55. then end the game in state 19. hi Pond a.ka. Simon, I'm Margan. nice to meet you. and Mike, Rocky, Muffin, and all friends in the old state 🤘😘

[@Maraton-h8g]

How are you Can you help us by filing a complaint against Server 3000? We are suffering greatly from them now. They can immigrate more than once and at very low prices, and we cannot compete with them. We are a group of states trying to talk to the game developers for help. Can you help us with that?

[@muhammadabbas985]

😢 that’s really sad to see you leaving the game. You were very helpful to many many of ROE players. Unfortunately the Devs did not appreciate you. I don’t blame you. And for me, this is the first time I feel I am really going to quit this game after seeing ROE’s grandpa leaving. All the best for you and to your family Pond. And thank you for everything.

[@kingmulu2822]

Combo heroes ?

[@queijoquente1]

Wow. I am game-free for over a year now, and even though I was no longer watching your videos I did not unsubscribe. Now out of curiosity I clicked on the notification only to learn you are leaving too. Please please find something else to shoot your videos about. You are a really cool guy and have talent explaining stuff. I really wish to see your videos again, maybe on another game or subject.

[@MyraPysana]

Just took same decision. My last season in ROE. 34 copies of hero to upgrade seasonal hero... Just finish this season and that's me final goodbye to ROE. In case you find some another nice game, pls share your experience with us 🙏

[@dejan1111]

What we going to play next!?

[@TheBwaap]

friend had max cnut,+1 medal and only 4 useless henry

[@crax-fh5vv]

come and play for state 1000 pondtail .. it's on the horizon and many great players are heading there .. definitely the best goodbye for all of us ...

[@chejas001]

The game is getting out of hand. I think is time to go too

[@youknowyc5544]

hah really? 😢😢

[@lorismf1650]

This game is completely scripted, over the years I have watched all your video guides and for that I have to thank you, you are doing the right thing and I wish you the best in your life, a greeting from italy.

[@rdf0811]

Before you leave. I have Octavian, Isabella and Ceasar in my class legion. Any tips or ideas?

[@dmase32]

Ya i quit too. Game became too much pay to win

[@rodrigoorejel1632]

Were going to miss you man, any chance I could get a few castles or a castle to play their ?

[@andrewcrisp9700]

I used 50 Super tickets, and got 1 orange hero, that I already had.. Im sat here watching you pull this lot out.. game sucks. I need about 10 Orange heroes.

[@xlr8r17]

Some advice for hero banners - don't ever start spending tickets on a hero banner with only 50 to spend. that will 99% of the time end in frustration and all your tickets gone. 100 should always be the bare minimum and if you pull a hero with a handful of tickets left, start saving those up until you get back to 100.

[@donhuanito6971]

What difference does it make ? You are saving what 1 month 100 tickets if new state if older its 200 per month wow that's brilliant playing game 2 months to get 2 heroes without copies if you are "lucky" enough if not you get 2 seasons older heroes 🤣🤣🤣 whole recruitment system is BS and everyone knows it@@xlr8r17

[@Cekmore]

🍻💞 harder to play everyday

[@angel5304]

Hello .Can you help me ? Who knows why, after purchasing a hero development plan, the hero experience of 500,000 is not available to me?

[@rezayousefi6071]

Devs should shy because of this conditions

[@dnmbd]

i will also quit ....

[@donhuanito6971]

Believe me everyone will 🤣 new states already broken and empty only spenders migrating 😁 🤣 They got like 10 spenders out of each state while losing majority of ftp players 🤣

[@timothyrobitaille1553]

I can't believe he made it that long i started in 339 left for 332 cost 400 bucks then the following season had to move again to 343 because more money went to another state than ours. The game was great once they started treating it like a slot machine that never paid out it beacme stale and unfair. I'd guess my alliance alone put over a million dollars into the game , we won alot but if not for millionaire friends i would have been destroyed. And over 2.5 yeras i pumped over 40k into it and srill got blasted by the top 1 percent. Its a joke and don't get me started in the Chinese servers that pay way less for resources and everything else.

[@xlr8r17]

Damn. RoE has really dropped the ball if they're losing old accounts like yours. Too busy taking our money and not evolving the game. Could this be the start of the end? I agree about the new system, it takes all the fun out of pulling a hero medal if you're pulling that many in 100 tickets. Plus, season rewards are now not near as good as they once were.

[@rogercunningham9987]

👍

[@cajunrage5737]

Oh no 😢

[@saD-qj2zx]

Oh damn , whe are on the map with old states from this season, wtf with ROE devs 😑😑

[@chanogeezy6022]

Keep going at 100k sub you will start getting paid from KZbin

[@gazlogame]

Shit 😔😔

[@bignothing909]

well it was inevitable...I gave up this game years ago when it got too popular and the rich ass holes thought they could have fun and jus play with the other rich assholes. the game engine in a whole is fun but the devs sold out and it's the same shit every couple of months. thanks pond and Mr gill for all ur time. time to live ur life with stupid phone games

[@R1Salv1]

This is very selfish of you! You cannot stop! How dare you put your family before us! You can surely do one vid a year?

[@donhuanito6971]

Hopefully him leaving will make them think how their game suck in terms of everything he said and that no one is enjoying this game maybe only the richest people in the world 🤣 Wish you luck

[@FallacyFinder5]

Nothing has changed, they only care about the richest even more. But ironically, the biggest spenders are leaving too.

[@1981lemberg]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zeemoustapha1369]

Game is dead. Dev kids max castles.ruined game

[@andyharold6840]

Glad u realized how bs this game is
