Alliance wars sucks

[dbukalski]

All it is is just a little extra resources for 2 battles. 1.6million gold, 1.6 million food(who cares) and NO oil

1.6 million gold if u win
550k if u lose

Lets say u win 60% of ur wars(unless ur superamazing its fair to say u wont win every war for every winner theres a loser and while everyone has dreams of winning every war lets be realistic)

So 60% of 1.6mil + 40% of 550k = 1.18 k gold for 2 battles = 590k gold per battle. U also get some extra gold per battle for looting storage. Do we also get league bonus? Lets say we do. Thats about 800k gold x 2 battles and NO OIL

Now that is more gold than i earn on average for regular battles. But WHO CARES?

THIS is what alliance wars has to offer? Theres NOTHING for end game players to do with alliance wars. Why would a player with a maxed out base care about alliance wars?

Theres no alliance wars ranking with weekly bonus. Or bonus to regular battlws. Theres no prestige for winning wars. Theres no lasting effect. Just some extra gold then done.

Alliance wars should give oil, crowns, diamonds, increase in rank. Rank would contribute to alliance league bonus which would have cool benefits.

What they just released sucks

Every other game alliance wars ur alliance climbs or drops in rank based on war results which drives players to fight hard for the war. Spending big crowns

 

[Hunter Killer]

Yes agreed. I was at least expecting that the alliance leaderboard would reflect results from wars, with alliance ranking based on points won during the wars. So currently, no real motives to wage a war apart from keeping you busy on your peace treaty.

I can't comment on the loot yet as I haven't tested it but if the numbers are correct, indeed it's not a lot.

 

[dbukalski]

Oh and with the matchmaking parameters theres no advantage to a big strong alliance.

Average joe alliance with a couple strong alliances will only ever fight another average joe alliance with similarly upgraded bases.

Theres no 50 powerful players dominating at the top of the leaderboard because theres no leaderboard and other alliances will only expose their best players and it doesnt matter how weak the rest of the alliance is.

My 50 man alliance will likely never find another 50 man alliance ready to rumble. So a big chunk of our alliance will be unable to participate

It should have been a legit alliance vs alliance war. And if u dont have 50 players. Or some are weak so be it. This is way too restricted

Maybe there will be a second leaderboard for the wars. Your players could take turns in being involved in the wars. Plenty of time for them to make adjustments as new ideas are brought up. Just a couple of things to consider. We all want something more but hey ... its a free game. With hiccups. Have a nice day

 

[dbukalski]

Maybe some day there will be an alliance war leaderboard. But that day is not now. It will not be for a long time. And probably never.

Without a leaderboard and only granting gold as reward the wars are meaningless.

 

[RushSkies]

It's a new feature. Give it some time.

 

[polo1967]

Correct as well. There are some things I like about it but the prizes are nothing to brag about. Im sure players at lower levels may benefit more from it though.

 

[ivan.]

I was having similar thoughts as well but I want to hesitate my judgement it before trying it out. I would imagine that the loot won should be calculated by factoring in your team's strength score or maybe even total medals.

Also I was hoping to see some cleaning before this update in terms of players that might have received 72 hour bans but still have max walls.

 

[Martine]

Could I have your gold then?
I have quite a few projects that need completing. Send the workers too ... mine always seem busy.

 

[JuDomines]

And dbulkaki discovered alliance war has not been designed for the 0.005% players of the leaderboard but for the rest, and die in agony.

 

[Bla Bla]

I was thinking there would be some crowns... Or at least the ability to shift money to weaker alliance players might be useful. Share the pot...

What they just released sucks

They just released it today. They will improve and tweak it over time. A lot of people complained for the long wait of alliance war. And now you have people like you complaining after it released because they didn't design alliance war just to your liking. It is meant for almost everyone to participate not just the top 100-200 players in the world. With attitude like that no wonder the devs don't consider our feedback on the forums.

 

[Heisenberg1913]

Well said unbelievable

 

[Skidz]

Its the first war, needs some teaking here and there but has made this game even better.

 

[dbukalski]

The lvl5 command center does give 6500 oil so that can be crossed off the list. Also it holds more gold than i listed. Granted 6500 oil for 2 battles is only a little better than i can manage normally

Still doesnt change the fact that alliance wars comes down to a little more resources than a normal 2 battle would give

 

[Smallville]

You have got to be kidding me! What a bunch brats! This is an unbelievablely awesome game, have you all lost your mind... Sorry I'm just tired of all crying. If things are not going your way then just pack it up.

Hey, it's a good game. It's consumed a lot of my life for the last year. But it started as a glorified rip off of clash of clans, and then made moves toward originality. And this clan wars is similarly not exactly paving new ground. their big breakthrough was surviving troops. And awesome, it sold me.
And I am certainly not gonna poo poo the whole deal, even if I don't like it, I am sure it will get better in the future.

I was just suprised, cause, to me, to the point of what the others were saying... Pulling down money and food and even oil at this point, yawn. I can do in my sleep and I am no where near maxed. I don't have enough townies to build anything. So make me a million. So? Boring. I can do that in the same 20 minutes it is gonna take me to figure out who in my alliance is doing what bla bla bla bla... It's kind of a major pain the ass for not much benefit. I think that was what the above were saying. I was hoping for like huge advantages or crowns really. Something that actually helped me. As it is the game is getting unwieldy with stupid update times and stupid wall costs. (I'm level 132)

Patience, grasshopper...

You get to gain resources even if you lose the war without losing your any of your medals, PT, and resources. How awesome is that? This may help reduce the force quit issue since people can now gain resources without losing medals
