|||Do we have to pay for the skirmish hall?
|||lobo's on a roll :O|||Just dont add new gear ON PVP PLS, if you guys add new geari will probably quit.|||

Skirmish will be 800 MS points. Civs are 1600. (or your regions pricing) Skirmish is a ton of gameplay. Civs are also huge, especially with Co-op, PvP, repeatables, and the new Legendary content which is our first step to more end-game content.

Keep in mind a current civ has about 3-4 times as much content, etc as older civs from prior Age games- the new ones are gigantic.

So with one civ and one booster like Skirmish, you're spoending about 30$ or 30 Euros...for many dozens if not hundreds of hours of gameplay.

That's a really good value for 30$, if you ask me. But we're expecting some people to not even buy a full civ, or maybe just buy a singlebooster for 10$, and that's cool with us too. Buy what you want. I think you guys are going to like Skirmish a lot. It's the most important thing we're creating right now, imo.

We've already played dozens of hours of Skirmish and it's really coming along.

|||Ian I know you are busy at the moment, but a reply to some of the PvP concerns regarding legendary gear would be fully appreciated. I am making a thread about it now.|||

@Remember - It should now be blatantly obvious that they flat out do not care about making PVP the way all PVPers want it.

They are not trying and failing to make it balanced and quick to start, by releasing Legendary gear and not even giving a note about Recorded Games / Observer Mode / 3v3 or 4v4 / postgame stats / etc etc etc, it should be easy to see they are not considering going the direction with this game they we hoped and wished they would.

|||If this happens I think the game will die.|||

the new Legendary content which is our first step to more end-game content.

The new content is absolutely great for end game PvE but why the new legendary gear so early in the games lifespan? The vast majority of players haven't even geared up with the current gear, it seems way to early to me. Unless the games lifespan is now being viewed much shorter then it originally was.

|||woot i didnt even gear up my 4th slot items to epic lvl 40's yet and now new gear is coming :((((
|||

Boss,

It's tricky, since we have some amount who are at level 40 already, and others are taking more time.

Either way, in both cases, we want to get new end game content out sooner, since it will bea good challenge for current level 40-ers, and something to look forward to for players who are lower level.

So we think the lifespan is long, but some of you guys are really good and faster than we thought, haha.

|||You are missing the point.Age of empires series was and is about 1v1 me and 80% of the players who played/play it (60% has already left) want to play the classical 1v1 pvp age of empires i dont want to farm for more gear everytime you guys want to extend the game i prefer to pay for my gear rather than spending 30-40 hours of my life to get 3 items and as soon as i get them you will put better ones.
