    Hello all,

    I am suggesting that the values of the "Telescope" Castle be changed.

    The reason I am suggesting this is because with the current values, some levels provide the player with zero benefit.

    The following table has been put together by testing each individual level on the Open Beta Server, these are the values in game.

    Level​
    Telescope​
    Telescope and Level 2 Lookout (10%)​
    Level 0 (0%)​
    5055
    Level 1 (5%)5257
    Level 2 (6%)5358
    Level 3 (7%)5358
    Level 4 (8%)5459
    Level 5 (9%)5459
    Level 6 (10%)5560
    Level 7 (11%)5560
    Level 8 (12%)5661

    I'm curious, now that I can actually see the magnifications, why are the values so far wonked? one would think that when you level up, the value would advance as well, rather than remain the same every 2 levels? just curious, cos before I vote, I'd really like to know a little more about this particular feature

    No... Leave it alone and let the dust settle from the last reach around we all got.

    Its like this because of how the calculation works.

    50 is the Default Vision.
    Lets take Level 2 and Level 3

    Level 2:
    50 + 6% = 53
    50 + (50 * 0.06) = 53
    50 + (3) = 53
    Level 3:
    50 + 7% = 53.5
    50 + (50 * 0.07) = 53.5
    50 + (3.5) = 53.5
    However, because you can not see "half a square", this is rounded down to 53.​

    So as you see, because each level increases by 0.5, only every other level you will get benefit from the castle.

    I'm afraid I disagree, just because one change has been done does not stop the SF Team from making more changes. Every single week more changes are applied into this game, some good some not.

    This castle is broken in my opinion. Every single level of every castle should benefit the player some way, you should not need to upgrade 2 levels to get benefits. The values in this castle should be made better for not only the players who already own this, but for players who will own this in the future.

    Yes. Providing the change brings about an overall benefit to the top level and does not disadvantage existing levels.

    Level 8 with lookout would need to be 63 with 1 increment seperating all levels, meaning 55 > 63 inclusive

    The only way is up!
