I noticed the realm chest update didn't come to fruition by the end of Feb and isn't mentioned in this one at all. Any updates on that?

About Me
To the citizens of the United States of America
In light of your failure to financially manage yourselves and inability to effectively govern yourselves responsibly, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and territories (with the exception of Texas which is beyond hope).
Your new Prime Minister, David William Donald Cameron will appoint a governor for the former United States of America without the need for future elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine if anyone even noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependancy, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect.
1. You will learn that the suffix BURGH is pronounced "burra". You can spell Pittsburgh as Pittsberg from now on if you can't cope with simple pronunciation. Then look up aluminium and check the pronunciation - you will be amazed at just how wrong you've been pronouncing it.
2. The letter "U" will be reinstated in words such as "colour", "favour" and "neighbour". Likewise, you will learn how to spell doughnut without dropping half of the letters.
3. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up vocabulary). Using the same 27 words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
4. There is no such thing as "US English". Microsoft will be contacted and the spell checker will be adjusted to take into account the reintroduced letter "U"
5. You will learn your reintroduced National Anthem "God Save The Queen" & July 4th will no longer be a public holiday.
6. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not ready to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults and then used solely for hunting grouse. If you're not adult to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're certainly not ready to handle a gun, let alone shoot grouse.
Therefore, you will be no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required should you wish to carry this in public.
All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand.
All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts and you will start to drive on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will allow you to understand the British sense of humour.
The former United States of America will adopt the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland prices on petrol (which you have, to date, been calling gasoline) of roughly $10 / gallon. Get used to it.
You will learn how to make real chips. Those things you call French Fries are not real chips and those things you insist on calling potato chips are correctly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat and dressed with malt vinegar.
Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive and rude with customers.
The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling "beer" is not actually beer. Henceforth only proper "English Bitter" will be referred to as beer and European beers of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as lager. New Zealand and Australian beer is also acceptable. American "beers" will henceforth be known as "Near Frozen Gnats Urine"
Hollywood will be required to occasionally cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialog in Four Weddings was bad, but Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" was akin to having ones ears removed with a cheese grater.
You will cease playing "American Football". There are only 2 kinds of proper football. One you call soccer and one you call rugby. Those of you who are brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has SOME similarities to American Football but does not involve stopping for a rest every 20 seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies)
Further, you will stop playing baseball. It's not reasonable to host an event called "The World Series" for a game which is not played outside the USA. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will all learn cricket in it's place.
You must tell us who killed JFK - it's been driving us nuts.
An Inland Revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesties Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due, backdated to 1776.
Daily Tea Time begins at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, with high qualities biscuits (no longer called cookies) and cakes plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
Thank you for your co-operation.
God Save The Queen

Appreciate the Event HCS but My Goodness could you please update the Reward stash. There is nothing in it that is useful.. really think you can get better of everything elsewhere with pots and stuff.. not even saying switch the Buffs in the stash just up the dang level of the skill.. not even the duration.. LOL.. these stash's are a joke..
Again Thanks for the event
Cheers.!

#1008847 Pvp ladders
Posted by PointyHair on 27 December 2022 - 00:42
i would have thought it would be relatively easy to enforce that you have to make at least one hit to be eligible to qualify on your ladder? that would solve at least some of the issues right?
i mean, how can you get pvp tokens if you don't pvp?

#1008683 Upcoming New Player Skills - November 2022
Posted by Belaric on 29 November 2022 - 08:09
We are seeking new players, we can't force them to play the way we played 10 years ago
especially players using FS app,
My medal, your medal, his medal everyone's medal is worthless if we don't have an active game.
For example, look at the arena, i earned the first 10k wins in the hardest way when we had like 30 tourneys spawning only, and now more tourneys spawning and i don't care if new players earn their wins in the easier way and i can confirm many players joined Arena nowadays.
I hope some change happens to the ladder to stop players from promoting inactivity!
Sorry for off topic but everything connected together when it comes to stamina spending.
I personally can't negate any change that helps others to stay active or get more active.
I hear you. I want the game to be more active, and for the player base to expand.
But does making SE and chests easier to find achieve that? I think not.
Neither of those things are on a new player's radar. New players want to gain levels, to get access to new gear, to PvP when they get the chance.
Other aspects of the game open up after people get their feet under them, and start to look for new challenges outside of levelling.
That is where our/HCS's focus should lie. Get players past the inital level grind and get them to a place where they can choose different game styles.
I think new players should "grind" to 100 (which will be much easier once the epic quest line is expanded!) , then have perma DXP to 500 to accelerate them through those levels. Then they can look around and see what they want to do/how they want to play. I think this will make app players happy as it gives them gratification early, then the chance to try to do something different/ start tailoring their game experience to what interests them inside a large game ecosystem that gives them a lot of options. I think Gutie suggested this, or something similar, many years ago.
I'd actually be in favour of perma DXP to level 3000 for newbies, to hook them hard and get them to invest in their chatacters and the game.
So those are the parts of my lawn I'm ok with folk trampling on: early easy level gain. Medals should still be a challenge, however. Challenges also keep people interested. They give motivated players a target, a reason to spend stam. If you make everything easy, nobody cares to try. That is the balance HCS has to find.

I do not think we need a buff to make finding SE easier.
I do not think we need a buff to make finding chests easier.
I think this would constitute dumbing down the game: it would make something previously harder and/or tedious much easier.
I say this as a titan hunter who was within 50K of ruby when the titan doubler came out. I got ruby 2 weeks later, maybe less. I put in serious hours for those lower level titan medals. Folk who have earned diamond titan after the doubler came into existence have no idea how hard it was, or what the 6 hour grind you needed to do to secure the terror titan meant, when you were waiting, for hours, for a guild team to drop in and steal it. And sometimes they did, and you just had to suck it up. 1 HP at a time. I look back now and wonder why I bothered.
Get off my lawn. No really. I cut it nicely.

#1008541 + 8 Stamina gain Epics
Posted by yotekiller on 26 October 2022 - 21:56
A bit self-serving since you seem to enjoy titan hunting. Others don't. I enjoy pvp and can always use more stam gain to make up for lost XP so why don't we tie it to pvp instead? I'm guessing you don't like that idea much so how about we agree additional stam gain epics shouldn't be tied to specific area achievements.

#1008061 New Potion Idea
Posted by BadPenny on 29 July 2022 - 11:24
Re-release PvP Seasons and the chest will be named after the victor .
Victor? Not that many know Victor's IGN, but I do...
All kidding aside, though, there should be more deciding factors to who might be worthy (not me, certainly), besides who is "best" at PvP or leveling or even who is most popular or most infamous... After all, these are all fleeting things that are subject to change at any time.
Outstanding contributions to the game should be a deciding factor. If my opinion was considered, I would say that Pointy deserves a potion, at least a critter, if not more, and an entire Master Realm named after him.... So many many of you would be lost without FSH to hold your hand, after all.

Haven't paid for a re-roll and don't plan to. The free re-roll is nice but if the first 2 aren't to my liking, I just wait to see what the next day holds.
