Graal Free To Play on Facebook and Android

Someone with 0 wins and 3 losses is ranked 7th best.. how does that work?

Few thoughts/suggestions for facebook classic.

Two of the forts should be shut down for now. There are not yet enough active large guilds to justify 5 forts. If you have a decent number of players on and are holding a fort no one bothers to attack you, they just go take a different fort and idle there. When guilds are often holding two forts at once, that's a good sign there are too many. I would say keep castle, mod, and swamp, and close the others for now and open them later.

As Ares said, we could use some active GPs. I don't think I've ever seen a GP on tag. And an easy way to find and contact staff that are online would be nice.

And again, the blocking in forts is a problem. Especially when players from iphone can open their chat or map to intentionally lag themselves and block a door. It wouldn't take much work to make some minor revisions that would greatly improve gameplay. For instance, I threw this together in paint in about 30 seconds, but Mod would be much more fun like this.


Castle shouldn't warp the attacking player 500 miles away after they die. Swamp upper level entrance should be widened just a bit.

That's how it is on Classic iPhone... the GPs seem to hide and never actually help anyone. I guess we can expect it to be the same here - the server has the same staff team.

It's a shame, but that's how it is, and it seems like all the GPs that are hired are just their for the popularity and don't actually try to improve the server by helping players.

I think the same way. Usually there are all Admins being hired for popularity and maybe a few for the skills. A while ago it seemed like people got hired just for helping other players and after they where hired, you never saw them again neither helping other players.
I can understand when they can´t always help (also sometimes don´t help cause of spam). But they should be more often off pms from friends only and help other players.

Bumping this cause its still a huge problem. Especially when there is a hacker who is auto healing himself blocking the entrance, as has happened to me twice now in two days. Literally no way to get by them. Also the spawn points could still use improvement for the forts, especially the castle. If the defenders die they respawn right where they fell. If the attackers die they respawn nearly 20 seconds away from the flag.

The suggestions for the towers sound good, will ask Az & Co to work on it

About double-paste or so when doing copy&paste: which browser? does the problem also happen when you use the right-click menu?

On firefox. And I can´t use the right-click menu cause then I get options like zooming, options and so on.

Nice, I have been wanting this

Staff ignore you on iPod. Reported the people invisible at Mod and after an hour of reporting them, they said "Go to spar to get rid of invisible" WTF, JUST BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS USE THE INVISIBLE GLITCH DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULDNT BAN THEM. It was so fking annoying that night and they continued to do it and all they said, go to spar. No one was jailed, fking waste of my report. GPs shouldn't be this lineant. They know what they are doing wrong. Plus, I try to contact Azrael and other LATs so I can apply, but they just ignore me. You guys really need more LATs because you haven't caught half of your tile errors.

Ha they aren't lenient, they banned me for 2 hours for pking farmers and again for 4 hours because I got stuck on a wall when I entered a building. Stefan, you should seriously consider hiring a 100% new staff team, the GPs don't help at all, the staff that hire that GPs clearly make terrible choices, and the development staff hardly get anything done. Also put an age requirement on Graal Police of at at least 16, preferably 18. I'm sure many of you aren't suprised, but the majority of their staff team is aged 12-15...

Here's another topic unrelated to staff-
quests:
Can't you guys add like 20-30 npcs in random locations indoors and outdoors around the map with simple quests? I've mentioned this many times but no one seems to listen. This wouldn't take very long and would be very satisfying to the players. I could do it if you want... at least accept outside help if you need it, plenty of people far more talented than me have offered to help and you refused.

I would agree to this, but people can, and do, easily lie about their age.

I sure do miss the buddy list. I didn't even know there were GP's, and the only way I knew there were staff at all is on the occasion that they send an admin message.

I agree completely.

Come back at New Years Eve, or watch where the biggest crowd is at holidays (works sometimes) Just found that on iPod:

[oo_jazz_oo]

The only time i've seen GP's on Facebook Graal was a few with "HAX0R" as their name, running over walls, taunting people, while a crowd of players followed them.

I'm sure they were doing something productive tho, and I just didn't notice. Because its not possible they could have been bloody useless.
