I agree, many of the changes were necessary. I personally like the idea of a difficult L5.I started additional worlds to farm diamonds in GE, since WW are scarce. The changes to GE1-4 rewards were needed (who needs a victory tower), the removal of diamonds as a reward are a big disappointment! I've spent $ to buy diamonds, however, I will not spend any $ for diamond or event purchases and will, most likely, stop playing in those worlds I used GE as a diamond farm.
Testing in Beta indicated the Virgo and Kraken work in Lvl 5.Sooooo....... I have a question and I may be wrong, but my reading of RAW implies that I may be right. Virgo Project and Kraken destroy a certain number of enemy units. They work in GE. They destroy enemy units at the start of a battle. They do not say defending units as a definition meaning that if you attack using defence instead of attack bonuses, they should still be activated. From my interpretation they basically work on the first X battles that you initiate. Therefore, I interpret this as meaning they work on Level 5 of GE. Now I'm not a fighter, I'm a farmer, so I can't profit from t.his if I'm right, buuuuut.... I read that if you time your attacks on Level 5 correctly to align with the Virgo and Kraken, it will be much easier. Happy if anyone disagrees as I have no Virgo, and I only took the Kraken because it also gives Forge Points and it's all about the Forge Points.
Depends on the feature. Virgo and Kraken do not work in PvP Arena and Neighbourhood attacks, due to how unbalanced it would be defending against them.They destroy enemy units at the start of a battle.

Bold is mine. I beg to disagree. Whether, or not, 10K goods per week is possible depends on what age the city is in. In the Space Ages, 10K per week can be a piece of cake. Early ages may find it next to impossible unless they have a high level CF and do a lot of heavy questing. Making the goods is one thing. Deciding to waste them on L5 is something different. I'll do L5 this week and then decide if I'll ever do it again.It is bad enough you've made diamonds less useful with having to pay for top tier of events with cash. Now you took away a free diamond source in GE. No matter what else is done, bring back our diamonds. I've already heard dozens of complaints about the missing diamonds. I'd much rather have diamonds that fragments of garbage that I dump in auction house.
I've already heard plenty of gripes about the new video ads. It feels like you are getting over obsessed with income. The number one key to get people to spend money is because the game is fun and I want to advance faster. Suddenly getting ads after all these years isn't fun.
So far I haven't heard a single person that likes the new GE5. The goods requirement is absurd to negotiate through. It takes 10K goods to complete the 5th level? That is absurd. Nobody generates that many goods a week. With the absurd cost in goods to the guild, most of the smaller guilds can't afford to open it up. I'm already watching how many play GE5, and may recommend our top tier guild not bother. GE5 is worthless of guilds don't want to burn out the treasury that hard.
With GE5 working off city defense you've created contradictory goals. Battlegrounds has pushed all players to add offensive attack and defense. Now I have to fight *LESS* in battlegrounds to build up for GE5? I can't make any sense out of the.
This is the first time in ages I've gone to the forums. I *hate* GE5 so much that you motivated me to come here and complain.
