Alliance wars sucks

[GailWho]

Lolol this is so funny! The first shot hasn't even been fired yet in the wars and y'all are complaining already? Seriously what do you want? This looks pretty cool to me! I don't care if I win a lot of loot or prestige or not. I'm already loving the base editor and designing my war base I also think it will be fun looking at our opponents bases and talking over strategies with my friends in my alliance. I'm nervous and excited about my first attack and hopeful my alliance mates can mop up my mess when I will most likely fail (I knew I should have been working on my full army attack rather overdosing on raider tc sniping all these months!)

This is a strategy game and that's what they have given us. If you don't wanna play... Don't. It's not required to stay #1 on the leaderboard. Our alliance has been electrified from this update and we are gonna have fun at least for the first round anyway. Then we'll decide if it was worth the wait. A lot of effort went into this giant update by the folks at BHG... Have some respect. At least try to have fun at the beginning. Sheesh!

Did you just channel my thoughts? Nice summary. My guys are buzzing and I keep getting the when are you starting a war? comment. Good thing I have an experienced coc leader to support me. This is a game. Its supposed to be fun. I am having fun still even after 9 months of solid addiction. Smile peeps add a little sunshine around you.

When design is done with bad requirements and/or unclear end user perspective, end result is generally not good. If alliance war is all about resources, then it s doomed! Guess I will sit out the boring alliance wars

I agree, they should have asked for our inputs, but I guess they were press for time to release new updates before the 2015 ends. They'll never get this update out if they have to wait for people's opinion, like some people on forum complain and cry for every features out there. They going to do post improvements after we all provide our feedback on the forums.

I'm happy alliance wars is finally here! You're looking at the glass half empty pal.

 

[redprince]

I don't think it sucks at all, even as a coc replica, that same style of war is better in this game simply because there are more dynamics to each base and player. I will complain a bit though...not too long ago they asked for our input on Alliance Wars and I saw a few good and interesting ideas, I don't think a single opinion was considered. But maybe they'll add something unique later...it was very clear that players wanted a new type of alliance war and for some reason that was ignored. I hope this is just the foundation they build from because I know this style of alliance wars will get old fast because most of us have had quite enough of it in COC.

GailWho thing is, I'm not complaining as much as I am concerned, my alliance is buzzing to, I am worried exactly about the original posts response. Wait... Is this it?.

When I was reading the faq and it wasn't clear what the WAR loot was based on... Then I looked at the command post and it was 250k I was like., woah. I'm just going to keep this to myself for now... I'm trying to balance expectations. Alliance wars has been the "selling point" of my brand of my alliance so I have a lot riding on this. I never got the alliance together that I wanted in COC so when my alliance took off unexpectedly at the Korea launch, I said. Ok I'm gonna build an alliance war alliance. So since July, I have been handing out troops, taking none grooming players... Too make small amount of gold? Ok... Alright... Let's roll.

Has anybody been able to engage yet?

I was given ten extra walls, I'm happy. Couldn't care less about alliance wars. Most people in my alliance are playing this game just for fun and have no interest in becoming top dominator, or whatever title you may then pride yourself upon.

Given that no wars have even been completed yet, this feedback may be a bit premature. Also, not terribly constructive!

We're keeping an eye on matchmaking and the war queue; once more people are on the update, things will improve.

 

[dbukalski]

The stuff people like about the update is base editors, extra walls. A new defense building

The alliance war part of it is pointless. The time spent organizing and executing the war. 2 battles then chance of losing makes the resources gained just a little bump over what i can do in the same amount of time grinding normally.

Alliance wars could have been so much more with actual meaning.

Even the world map is pointless. The position of each player means nothing. Anyone can attack anyone on the map. No territory is gained. No permanent benefit. It really is just heres x gold now go away.

We could just have a list of each team then attack then go home with some gold.

And why the hell is there 1 day of doing nothing thats so boring. Declare war and attack. Who want to sit around all day. Then the next day u get 2 attacks? It should be all day attacking war make it epic

 

[dbukalski]

So much hoopla and window dressing for a slightly beefed 2 battles

 

[dbukalski]

And it should be the full might of ur entire alliance against the opposing alliance. Bhg is protecting weaker alliances by constraining it to 10v10 or whatever.

This could change but our group has been waiting 14 hours while matchmaking searches for the perfect 10v10 matchup with equally upgraded players.

We should be able to declare war on the alliance of our choice

Bring overwhelming force to bear

Battle for 2 days straight not this 2 battles on 2nd day gimped crap

The map should have meaning. Growing territory, placement of strong and weak members matters like on risk game

The results of the war should go towards alliance war ranking

Ranking should give increasing reqards similar to medal league ranking. So that towards the top of the alliance rankings the bonuses should be massive. Even 2 mil gold per day for everyone in alliance would give players reason to care about the war.

Thank you Nexon for Alliance wars. Don't let all this negativity stop you from continuing to roll out amazing features.

dbuk - careful that you don't end up eating your words in a few months time. Like anything new, the devs need game data and when they have it they'll make changes as needed - or better yet, as we tell them. Look how long the game's been running and how many posts and how much feedback we've given them. This new update for the regular game seems to have generated mostly positive feedback.
In time the wars will get our feedback - good & bad but hopefully constructive! - and the devs will make improvements/changes - but time is the key. No house is ever built with all the inclusions on day 1 - you have to start with a solid foundation first.

The good thing is at least you're passionate about it - and I'm sure the devs can use 'most' of what you said!

 

[Europeos]

Given it's just been released I think alliance wars look great and are very promising.
Granted, rewards are insignificant. Like league rewards were earlier on. It'll change.
The most important part is: it's just going to be fun...

But some people are never happy.

 

[rambo3489]

This is exactly right. It only takes one. How about some constructive feedback you whiner

 

[Hunter Killer]

I think dbuk has his own way of expressing himself. But his ideas are pretty good to improve alliance wars though. And even without changing the whole system, if they were giving crowns as rewards, that would make it even more interesting. If you want to make a reward meaningful for all players, whether newcomers, old timers, any age level or medal level, crowns are the way to go. And I don't mean 5 crowns

 

[Smallville]

This might help make more players happy - https://forum.nexonm.com/forum/nexon...y-mean-for-you

And no alliance wars aka World War dose not suck.

 

[Hunter Killer]

So after the excitement of the release and having wage a war, does alliance wars suck or not?

I still haven't built my command post but reading from feedback on other posts, it seems like it's fun the first time but it doesn't deliver on the long term.

First of all, there is no alliance wars leaderboard ranking. What is exactly the point of these wars?

The loot you get from the 2 battles where you have to throw in all you have can be taken in regular multiplayer battles (with league bonus). The time you spend planning with your allies is time you could have played multiplayer battles instead and increase your loot even more.

You don't get to see any replays or share it. I think once the novelty is over, some people may decide not to waste time in alliance wars anymore. This will trigger a no opponent situation and ultimately feed a cycle where no one will play it just for fun and a little bit of loot.

We need a leaderboard ranking for alliance wars replacing the alliance ranking by medals (what use does that one have?). We need to choose who we can declare war on, with some restrictions.

And we need lots of crowns to make it worth the time investment!

Many people who wanted to quit long time ago were just waiting on alliance wars to see whether they should stick around longer. If you don't get it right, this can have a snowball effect with many quitting.

Some may think it's not a big deal, except long term players or people at the top of the leaderboard are mainly the ones paying to play, keeping the game alive.

Our 5 alliances went into world war and we had a blast !.

It was fun, trying to organize, testing tactics, going into battle unorganized due to the buggy chat and we still has great fun !

I had part in 3 world wars at the same time on different levels and it was exciting.

Don't care about ranking, loot or other rewards, a game should be fun to play and that is what we had, a lot of fun.

So to all complainers, please try another game, and for BHG/nexon thanks for the extra gameplay inside dominations !.


Also, BHG/nexon try fixing the buggy chat, and you might want to look into a separate chat for the WW Allies participants, to keep the normal alliance chat free from tactical discussions.

Push on ! and don't let the bad dbuk dog bite ya !
