Pillage prize's, Old. Out of date. and to expensive...
Does kix have no one able to update these prize list's ?
And instead of the old tech getting cheaper, it's getting more expensive..

What in the hell is happening to this game ?
Your still running old boring camp's and ramping the difficulty up..
is that all your coding guy's know what to do ?

This game has lost all it's fun factor..
kix, You are killing the game ( FACT)

I could go on for age's, About build time's, Cost, stupid offer's, Boring content,lak of token's And so on, But just cant be bothered as i know it wont make a toss of difference,s many have said the same before..
The end..Literally

In most I agree.

But disagree with the Pillage been too expensive. I'd say that this one should be free or least amount of seat time (depending on your gameplay)

You only "need" to complete 19 sets to get the items for the assault hull and thats it, or 5 sets a day, that's it.

A big thing here is that a good portion of players (this is with Kix's help) "believe" they need to get everything, hence requiring huge scores plus with the leaderboard helping to push those scores even higher, players do think that its too much.

A tip, you do NOT need to claim everything, as you've stated build times are long, so if you do claim everything, when are you going to have the time to build it? use it? Old tech, not much is useful in this game we now play (there are some, but not many) so why bother even looking at it?

What I'm trying to do here, is offer an alternative, help lower the "bp" and see that silver lining. That being you only need 375k points to get the new items thats it. Once youve got it, the rest of the weekend/week is yours to complete the FM or TLC's

I think you'll find that Stillfort is trying to make as much $$ out of the remaining player base.

I'll add you need even less from the Pillage than that.
You don't need the 2 day build token or the limited weapons. They are nice to have, but not vital. I've never claimed either in any pillage.
So that's just 150k for the engines, with anything else beyond that a bonus.

Most annoying thing with the prize list, lack of Gambit Upgrades

The extra prizes in Pillage are only there for those that need them, not something that everyone must get. If you're not happy with them, feel free to not claim them.

As noted in here, you can most certainly get by with just the bare minimum build items, and Pillage points are extremely easy to get, I feel it a perfect time to get those extra items so I usually do, but it's up to you ofcourse with how much you plan on getting.

PChicken · 5 Oct 2022, 10:52AM

WITH NO UPGRADE KITS FOR GAMBITS HOW ARE WE SUPOSED TO UPGRADE THEM I WAS EXPECTING KITS AT THE LEAST BUT NOTHING

Yup what the last player said , We Need Gambit upgrade kits thanks .

The_Peanut_Vendor · 5 Oct 2022, 4:42PM

Edit - Ok I found them in bonus section. NM

PiratePeteX · 5 Oct 2022, 6:53PM

I agree, if you play to be the 'Big Dog' then you have to get everything, if you play your own way and not here to impress everyone else then you are fine, qnd it's no big deal if you miss a raid or pillage...etc.

Broxi_55 · 5 Oct 2022, 8:28PM

3 hrs 10 mins to do a Single 116 target. kix are taking the piss out of us.

another event that can go by the wayside. just like the raid. and Due to the lying support ticket Staff. I never bought Gold either.

they think we are Stupid ****. so they can go fvck themselves.

Cut them off i say. no more money till the sort it out

Leigh Brown · 5 Oct 2022, 8:35PM

Every time we almost done with upgrade a fleet that is suposed to make things a bit easyer kix comes with a new target ideathat points to the players the midle finger of kix, observe what happens lately to campaigns, targets we used to do base repair now (accidently give) double or more damage, look at pillage targets and take an idea, the assault target was 9 to 12 mins now its double or more, previus garrison target was base repair, now that we have u3 gambits (not all of us) new target is from 45 to 1 hour damage, kix asking from players to be constructive on theyr comments at the moment they are completely money digers against players.
Yes its a game that must make money to its owners but everything has a limmit.
Those damage (suden) changes showing 1 thing that or kix wants to absorb more money from repairs or that some of kix programers is to bored from his job to check the stats of the game he is suposed to keep it running smoothly

Max Thornton · 5 Oct 2022, 9:07PM

Yeah, the damage is absurd. This one won't be fun at all. Another frustrating chore. No enjoyment in the game anymore.

PiratePeteX · 5 Oct 2022, 10:01PM

3.5 hours repair per target for my Gambits, and 3 Hours for my Heavy Cruisers. Bit excessive!

Dave Martin · 6 Oct 2022, 12:47AM

pillage used to be great for catching up.. now its total crap. 30k x 5 for must have ships parts but having to use 2 generation old hulls with kix maxing damage to X1 fleets is just ignorant and selfish... I dont have X1 HK's and will never upgrade them due to yard doing current builds on top of that there will prbably be no use for them again after this... So i ask again KIX STOP pushing crap hulls out every couple months or give use another shipyard where we can upgrade and build at the same time...

OMG "5 sets a day" I can't get that without coining. I don't want this seat time because I HATE PVE... does that mean I don't want to play this game? apparently so.

All i want to be able to do is get the minimum necessary without huge amount of pain so I have time to do PVP. I only have so much time in my life and I refuse to spend that time/coin for PVE. More asspain = less coin for kix. Pretty simple math.

yea they are easy to get,but the damage is easier to get.Not to mention the fact that we need our gambits also for the fm.Pillage has become a complete sham of an event.

True you need Gambits for Pillage and FM. I start with FM by autoing the 215s using a creeping death or Steelheads 1 hour crew with Brutes. I repair a little bit and run them until dead. At 88,500 points I can stack 5 or so before overnight repair. Nearly 450k and almost a level 5 armor acquired. It's similar to building/refitting/upgrading ships in the yard: time management and plan ahead.

myersey · 6 Oct 2022, 2:45PM

Pillage costs too much 5 sets per day and just half of that set is 3.5 hours damage no possible way to do five full sets in a day. and that is with a full fleet of u3 Gambits. that's 17.5 hour just for one side of the pair. stop advertising your game as play for free. it's false advertising.

I've been doing 114s for instant in base repair for many Pillages now. With practice I've gotten the 116s down to 1.5h or less. That's still too much, but livable. Driving is key.

I can recall pillages where 1 coin (30) min repairs were quite normal.Then they went to 1hr average,now it's 1.5 hrs.Pillage is the absolute worst event in the game.Some can be fine with those repair times but not me.

You must be thinking about the old damage levels. The game is worse now with the upgrades. For the people playing now is twice the damage for less points. I used to get 5-6 sets out of a fleet now its 2-3.

Pillage prize's, Old. Out of date. and to expensive...
