BHG Your silence is deafening.

[Master Contrail Program]

War stars glitch.

Broken chat.

Poor matchmaking/sandbagging/atomic war base rankings.

Whatever happened to that war replay beta?

What happened with alliance challenges?

There's a claim there'll be several more ages after the current. Are you planning on keeping the same tedious, linear upgrade structure? Do you think players are going to stick around for the seemingly inevitable three week or more upgrades?

After two years of the players hearing it, how much longer do you think, "We are aware of the issue and are looking into it." is going to be an acceptable response? Particularly when said issues are rarely addressed?

With all of the recent issues the lack of a May State of the Nations is apalling, but sadly, unsurprising.

I thought silence was golden? And they make beer in Golden, Co. So I will drink my beer in silence. That way the deaf won't hear me...

Lots of things broken. With any luck there will be major delay in next update and hope they fix few bugs. I only have few more redoubts/ machine gun towers to go till im
done with max aa defensive buildings. So this delay to Cold War Age has been very helpful

If the previous updates are any indication, cold war will be upon us even if the major issues arent addressed.

BHG has addressed Sandbagging (for the most part) here: https://forum.nexonm.com/forum/nexo...uestions-and-answers-sandbagging-match-making

The replay beta is almost here! I'm confirming some of the last minute details but I expect it to happen extremely soon.

Friendly Challenges had to be temporarily deactivated due to a bug that was causing problems. BHG is still working to fix this and restore it.

We do plan on releasing more ages (I'm really excited for these) but I don't have any information that I can release at this time.

State of the Nations is late, for that I apologize. It should be ready shortly.

Its disheartening to read statements like 'BHG has addressed sandbagging". Maybe Im just reading it out of context. Nothing in the Q&A addressed sandbagging. There were some new tidbits about uni counting, a few more statements admitting there are some problems, a few more definitions that were almost universally disagreed with by your community....and looking back at it 2 months later....its just been more lip service to be honest. 9 months since the original thread and no material action has been taken. By the way, with those new ages that are coming about, sandbagging is about to become even worse. The higher max levels are, the more influence those undeveloped bases will have on a team's war weight.

Dominations continues to be the only game I am aware of, that rewards taking undeveloped alts to battle, over taking skilled, prepared players.

The next State of the Nations should be addressing much of the questions/comments the community has had.

 

[Empire Guard]

It's comments like these by Nexon, claiming the sandbagging issue has been dealt with in a material way, that infuriate the player base. A very thoughtful post was created, and the only response essentially says "yeah, well that has already been dealt with."

Nexon feels they have done a good job addressing the sandbagging issue, they have made this statement a number of times. The player base as a whole adamately disagrees. Frankly, it's worse than ever. Each update provides changes that play right into sandbaggers hands...tactic nerf, timed tiebreakers, etc...

Why will you not admit there is a significant problem? You have repeatedly claimed you can only make slight alterations, as not to negatively effect war. You have had 9 months to make these 'slight alterations'. It's time to try real fixes. The players can live with negative, unintended consequences from a real attempt to fix a war system that no longer functions, we can longer live with the status quo. Many long time members have left in recent weeks, it is time to reverse course, take action, and stop pointing to meaningless posts that are months old.

 

[S_How]

Ok, fair enough. I probably just misread how it was written. I really look forward to hearing more!! Thanks NB4

 

[Quovatis]

If you want to have any kind of constructive conversation with the community, you need to stop perpetuating the lie the BHG has addressed sandbagging. I'm not one of them, but I can tell you this infuriates many players. All BHG did was redefine sandbagging in a way that no player has ever accepted, then say it's fixed based on that. What you claim to have addressed has had pretty much had zero effect on curbing sandbagging. Please stop pointing to that thread because 99% of the posts in that thread say nothing was accomplished. Yes, you may have changed the rules a bit, but alliances very quickly adapted to not fit your definition of a sandbag, yet the effect is the same as before.

 

[LordJestix]

4 months old and this topic is still pretty relevant.

 

[Festivus]

No, not really.

Really, none of this is relevant??

I don't know. Credit where credit is due they actually delivered on most of those complaints.

Sandbagging? War matching? Nation balance. A.I.? Those will never be fixed. It's obvious the whales at the top and the beancounters behind the scenes love the status quo and that most of the updates this year have been about placating them. Nexon decided long ago to make thousands from thousands rather than tens from millions.

I'm sure CW Age is 99% done and whatever groundlaying they're doing is behind the recent uptick of network errors. Just like last year before atomic release. I'd hazard a guess and say there will be no fundamental change to upgrading, matchmaking, aircraft/troop training times. Not at CW release. Not ever. What you see is what you get, folks. You just may get a lengthier/costlier version of it. I hope I'm wrong but.......

I've done plenty of useless *****ing here but what good does it do? They don't listen. Hell, they barely respond now. There used to be quite a few more forum regulars here 6-12 months ago who have gone silent. I doubt they've quit completely. Probably just got tired of smoke being blown up their keisters to no appreciable end.

Either you have fun with the game or you don't. Hell, I think half the enjoyment I get out of the game is the sparring matches from the everything sucks and everything's swell sets on this forum these days. At least both sides are still passionate, which I personally am finding more difficulty mustering as time goes on.

Sometimes ya gotta commiserate with folks who know even if it's just tilting at windmills. Anyway, my two cents, which buys about as much as Big Huge Loot does.

Yes, really.
Maybe that explains why TinSoldier doesn't answer my PM's until I prompt him on the forum.

 

[Festivus]

Or, maybe your concerns have already been addressed here. Or, possibly your concerns aren't terribly relevant. Or maybe he's just busy.

Probably the first one.
