So this is interesting...
On the Dominations fb page, on this forum, on the discord servers and on various Line groups, NOT A SINGLE PERSON has complained about defenses being too weak and literally absolutely no one said they agree the game needs a defense balancing.
So what gives NEXON?
1. Any base that has MAXED their defense upgrades for their current age is a very dangerous base to attack and can be BIG trouble even for players of higher ages. The fact that people CHOOSE to not “waste” time on defensive upgrades does not means that the current available defenses are too weak. They are strong enough if you just take the time to upgrade them. IF what you want is for players to do more defensive upgrades, then you need to reduce upgrade/build TIMES since there are way more defensive upgrades/buildings than offensive ones. What I said can be proven by the event wars that have been going on in the discord community. No one can 5 star Hydra’s base - even players with max offensive upgrades! Period.
2. Apparently the only people that could be unhappy with the current state of available defenses are whales that spend a lot of ca$h on this game and then get butthurt that a casual spender / resourceful attacker 5 stars their base. Regardless if this is true, from any angle you look at this proposed balancing the answer is always the same: make players spend more $$$! Either by needing to buy more sh troop cards to be able to 5 star bases on WW(and attempting to eliminate 0sh 0tt alliances), by needing to spend a lot on museum to be able to 5 star bases and get NTGS on MP, by having to crown new upgrades now that years of researches for that ideal set up have become obsolete, by needing to buy NTGS and diamonds simply to be able to war... the list goes on and on, not a single possible outcome where this doesn’t force us to spend even more $$$ on what’s already is a quite expensive game to be played competitively.
3. YOUR MUSEUM IS COMPLETE UTTER TRASH! It already was broken before, the most recent upgrade made an unbelievable mess, it’s not even funny. THAT needs to be fixed an balance: some perks are completely exaggerated and unfair, most are completely unnecessary and useless, ammount of museum rss to unlock new perks is absurd, there’s absolutely no logic anymore now that pottery and jewels give offensive/defensive perks, it hugely increased the pay-to-win aspect of the game, it’s boring af, it’s not user friendly... seriously, spend your precious time and team efforts on fixing and balancing that crap.
YOUR LEADERBOARD RANKS IS A DISGRACEFUL SHAME! For years, week after week the entire player community have echoed how you need to fix the leaderboard ranks! There are so many ways to do this... go decay for inactive alliances, clean up the inactives, adjust for war sizes, try a regional leaderboard... whatever, you name it, just simply DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
to end this, let’s have a quick pool from forum users that comment here: do you agree or disagree with arguments 1 and 3?
you gotta learn to listen BHG/NEXON, seriously!
(even having the power to do it) just because they increased the defenses.
