    You guys need to take it slow, there's nothing fun about running up to a flag and drilling while knights try and hit you through your spammed wooden doors.

    Play the Game slow, stop playing builder like a demolition man. I see games when there is no mid fight, its just builders taking turns at the flag with a drill. Builders should be building towers, instead of tunneling into flag every time build a fucking tower and blow their tower up.

    So heres a lesson to you aggressive builders, stop ruining pubs with try hard strats that only belong in CW's.
    Play KAG for fun and then to win.

    I think it stopped being fun because no new things are released (mechanics blah blah, classes), I understand this game is super old now, and that the code is a mess, but that's not what I'm saying whichever admin responds complaining about the horrible messy code. For me, the original game is overplayed, and the mods are too. I get no enjoyment. I've played kag for thousands of hours (classic counted) and I can happily say I've played aphelions at least 300 hrs, territory control at least 700 hrs. The reason it's not fun anymore is because everyone's played the absolute shit out of a small indie game, there is no way to make it fun again. This game is severely overplayed.

    as an offensive builder main which destroys shit for fun and not to win I feel personally offended. Tumblr and Interpol have been notified, enjoy your cell

    Maybe you dont like it because the servers are mixed with casual and competitive players that always focus on the flag first and not the battle itself. Just focus on those players, use water if you have to.

    I think you're speaking too generally and too simplistically. Maybe you're the one who's over playing KAG? In my case (obviously doesn't apply to anyone except myself) I've played 901 hours (not a lot compared to other players) but I still find satisfaction in pub games. I play to have fun, not to win, and I really dont care if other people play the opposite. The point is, KAG is still fun (at least for me, but I doubt i'm the only one).

    beta is supposed to be fast paced, thats why everyone liked it. Come to classic, one of our two servers with zero players might suit your needs ;)

    I played fallout 4 for 100 hrs, and I got bored of it because all content was completed, in the same way, I got bored of kag because all the content was completed for me. I've had kag for 6 years, I'm just stating why I am bored of it. not why you're bored of it, you'll have your own reasons for being bored of it when the time comes.

    It's just the natural cycle of games. This game is no exception. It is born strong and dies, well, not as strong. You should not treat KAG like an immortal game, for even we die in time.

    Did I say that KAG was dead, boy? I just said that KAG isn't immortal. If we treat it like some god and expect it to be flawless, the more disappointed we'll be in the future. In other words, games will always stop being fun if there isn't a constant flow of new content. We really got nothing these past few months concerning content besides some new emoticons. Updating an old game isn't enough; but KAG 2 shouldn't exist, there is no possible name that will appeal to the masses but that's my personal opinion.

    KAG Alpha was great when I started playing, until they put the building block limit. ::(:

    Well, if I had a choice, I would probably prefer the the early alpha game than the new KAG. Not saying the new KAG is crap, I started playing again recently and still have a bit of joy.

    maybe instead of farming stone and 25 coins for a drill, fucking build eh. how do you fuckers find the game fun if all it comprises of for you is drilling through a fucking flag wall

    Just place platforms when they drill, rats can be annoying but there are many ways to get the flag fast do they all need a nerf? keg jumping knights, ballista spam, bombarrow spam, rats.

    I strongly disagree. You shouldn't mess with what works - imagine if chess got updated every year? I think this game is good enough updating the engine and mapcycle, but just adding more stuff and changing stuff that works will just cause the same problems as The Sims 3, or EU4
