claw ...im indeed an old player, holding important positions in the both servers i play and there are many others like me. what you think it will happen if suddenly a war commander and 24/7 fighter on one server and war commander, 24/7 fighter + alliance leader quits the game? what happens if there are let's say maybe 10-15 players like me...what will happen? let me tell u what will...it's enought for 1-2 big money spenders to quit just to make others follow...i guess you all figured out so far that we don't actually play this game because we enjoy it...we all admit it's a big shit and a long time scam organised by BP...but we play for the more or less virtual friends...for that we play...you don't need many to quit to make a group break...instability leads to chaos and ultimate to disaster.
And look...i know that bp fucked us with everything they could starting from daedalus, golden food pet ( i personally had 1000 of each golden food pet before they've put it on pearls in the game - immagine how i felt then ), the designs now, the lvl 5 repair crewmember, the lvl 3 voodoo priest and the list continues with different miscelaneous...but that's not the point...if you lose 30-50e you get mad for 1 week but you still play..it's not such a big deal...but what happens if you lose 2000-2500 euro on just one upgrade, on just one ship? in total...that means 4-5000 euro which was spent just on voodoo cannons.
Everything has a limit of endurance, and im sure this would be mine..i may be crazy, but i'm definetly not stupid.And i'm sure there are many others like me.
Anyways claw, these cannons wont be in payment...you'll upgrade them out of something including gems...even if they will be better than voodoo's it will take an ridiculous amount of time to get to be full of them to rule over the voodoo people :D.
This being said...have patience, soon the mistery will be lifted and we'll have more informations about this...the new crewmembers, the new Sunshit stone or whatever it's its name + this new type of cannons are most likely to be launched in 2 days...
Embrace yourselves :)
