Design Spotlight: 2.5 Design Highlights

i think a simple medal system of 1 medal per each star would be a much better balance and far more equitable.

 

[maggiepie]

Um, ok? Not sure what you're trying to imply, but I didn't say anything about you not being legit

 

[maggiepie]

Yes, I can see how one might interpret it that way- but the way I saw it was that if they were simply going to apply the French bonus appropriately (ie., original train time - 20% = subtotal - 77% TB = total) then the French advantage would actually be just 20%, and while still good, not as dramatic as a 97% reduction. And, thus, a TB reduction would not have been necessary. I suppose the adjustment could have been clarified a bit better.

I think it's unrealistic for troops to take over half an hour to train. With the amount of resources you need for upgrades, and with bases becoming more difficult to attack as you progress, it's not really fair to expect us to be able to play constantly, waiting for 20-40 minutes each time we lose a big chunk or most our army. I understand that taking 5 minutes would be rediculous, but having to wait a half hour is pretty rough. That's why I think doubling the time of the TB is a good decision. I just hope they don't reduce its effectiveness too much or make it super expensive. I don't have the time to put a ton of hours into this game anymore and now that I'm Enlightenment it's going to be difficult and slow and I'm not sure if I could continue if they really did a true nerf on the blessing.

Everyone's complaining about not having the time, 1hr's too long, this is a mobile game, etc - from what I can see people these days spend so much time on their phones the damn things'll have to be surgically removed when you die!! How in the heck can people complain about not finding the time to play when they're on their phones 21/7???

For oldies like me it's not a problem - the phone is interspersed with my life - not the other way around. I'm having a good old chuckle listening to people complain - people who could easily improve their mindset by learning to see what's there rather than what's not .....

ps: 21/7 is not a typo

 

[Jaysus]

Lol, I give up. I was Greek, got nerfed, switched to French, and get nerfed again. This game is too grindy and these updates do nothing but nerf anything people who don't pay to win can use to gain an advantage. Guess you guys are making plenty enough to not care about those of us who only gave you the money for the "extra" house. Screw this game.

 

[Jaysus]

Lol, too good.

 

[Ravenlord]

Crikey - you switched twice?! You kids crack me up! Although to be fair, it takes a lot of persistence to be persistent.

 

[Jaysus]

No way, I started out Greek wayyyy back when it came out. Had no idea how beastly they'd be. Then they turned into pumpkins, so I saved up crowns for a couple weeks and went French about a month ago. Annnnnnd nerf.

 

[Bodack Scythe]

Address the fact that there are THOUSANDS of cheat/hack accounts on your game. Then tell us what you're doing to combat those!? We'd also like to know what you're doing to fix the awful 1 -39 medal system which favors these cheaters??? You guys wonder why I post this ALL THE TIME in caps. It's because I don't believe they have heard me.

 

[Bodack Scythe]

You are not alone friend! All of my posts have been about the Maxed up cheat accounts, the 1 -39 algorithm which inherently favors these cheat accounts. I could go on and on, but like many who have already left the game because of this issue, I too am just so tired of being scammed by Nexon. It's almost not even worth your time posting here, they don't listen at all. They do what they want and only what they want with the game.

 

[Bodack Scythe]

Been happening since day 1! Will never stop, they think they know best!

 

[Bodack Scythe]

Are you talking about limiting play time to 1 hour? I can't even get a MATCHUP many times in 1 hour! Why don't they just ask everyone to quit??? Oh wait, that's what they're doing!!!

 

[atramar]

@Bodack:
no, I meant that in one go 1 hour constant play on my phone makes my back hurt, not to mention, I don't think I have ever had a chance of actual 1 hour without wife wanting something.

on other hand, with new army built time will be around 12-20 minutes under new TB, I guess it will make it work.
keeping in mind, that during that training time, you can get chain scouted for 15 minutes, which wastes your TB.

 

[Denquin]

Sorry. I misunderstood. I got what you meant now.

 

[Denquin]

I think it's fine right now.

 

[Aurelius...]

Hey Gambrinus, I hear you, but that system would encourage lvl 163 (cheaters, payers, etc.) to just run around 5 starring low level bases for 5 medals. Not sure that's ideal. Why not adjust for level difference?

 

[Djinn]

So what's been changed? Lol

 

[Redgar]

Yea, I strognly advised Greeks not to switch to France, caz they'll be Greeks again. Lol

 

[Crimsondragonfly]

It's fine before Enlightenment Age, but once you reach that, like I said, upgrades require a ton of resources and bases get much harder to attack. So with troops taking 30 minutes to train, it becomes very difficult to progress. From what I've read on these forums, a lot of people have been quitting the game in EA and IA. Also because of the medal system, a frustration I haven't experienced because I'm not a climber yet. That's why they really shouldn't nerf the training blesssing too much or they're going to lose a lot of people. Not everyone can play this game 3+, even 2+ hours a day.
