Dock level 14

[Horsepower]

Hello, I have a complaint and a request. Awhile back I upgraded to Dock level 14. It was a huge mistake. Dock level 14 is awful, especially for higher level Drone age players. 90% of the troop cards in Dock level 14 are shooter and infantry tt’s. Level 13 was much better. Level 14 makes no sense considering that most players who reach that level never use shooters or infantry. Those troop cards are mostly used in much lower levels. So these shooter and infantry tt’s just sit and accumulate in my Stronghold. I’m not the only one upset by this. Every single player I know who upgraded to level 14 absolutely hates it.
Not sure what you were thinking when setting up level 14. I suspect the problem may be that BHG staff maybe doesn’t really understand what go’s on in the higher levels. If you doubt my complaint then go and put out a survey asking how players like level 14.
With that said, if you won’t fix level 14 please revert my Dock level back to level 13.
Thank you, Dradis

absolutely agree, the Infantery TTs on Dock is technically a downgrade… super Useless

 

[DocHolliday]

Yep, totally agree.
Dock lvl14 need to be reworked.

Also, its good idea to bring back unique TTs as they exists is previous dock levels.

Put some imagination and creativity guys!
make dock worthwhile again please!

Both level 13 and 14 are bad; also level 14 is mostly a copy of level 13 with some tweaks, which is odd.

Fact is, level 12 is the best dock; anything past that gets progressively worse. This fact is also documented

Shipyard

“Lets you send citizens on Expeditions for great rewards!” Do not blindly upgrade the Shipyard beyond level 12. The Level 12 Shipyard (Digital) is considered the best Shipyard by most players. Do not upgrade past Level 12 unless you understand what each expedition provides. The level 13...

Now thinking back, you’re right. Level 12 was the best. BHG, if you don't fix level 13 and 14 please revert me back to level 12. By doing so I would hope you would also reimburse me what I paid to upgrade including crowns. Thank you

This is a very absurd design in the game. I also don't understand why the official team decided to introduce a weaker way of playing in the later stages compared to the earlier ones. Moreover, the previous unit types were significantly different from the latest era units, leading to suspicions that this might be an update content that the official team forgot about.

As a result, many players reasonably doubt that the official team hasn't personally played the game but is instead deciding the direction of the game based on numbers alone.

I am very thankful that the game has been consistently updated, so I hope that the development direction is correct to provide a friendly experience for the majority of players and retain more of them.

the dock needs reworking for sure. It doesnt make sense that level 12 is good and the other mediocre

I have sent a message at CS to revert my dock back to 12 but they didnt do it. Why? I am only trying to downgrade a building. Why is this forbidden?

Sono assolutamente d'accordo anche io che il livello 14 del Porto è stato palesemente un fallimento da parte di Nexon.
Le truppe sono assolutamente obsolete e peggiori di quelle dei livelli precedenti del porto

I totally agree with the thread. Dock level 12 is the last that gives serious TTs. Dock level 13 and moreover level 14 are not of value. Drone players don’t use infantry TTs because they are weak even when used as meat shield and wall breakers. It’s a thing that we have brought to the attention of CS and BHG in general for months now. But nothing has changed. Let’s see now that the company has opened its ears to the players if something changes. Otherwise it will be a building that offers really nothing to the edge of the map

Related thread from April 2023, it even includes ideas

A slight rework of dock

tl;dr - add a "favourites" slot on dock, where we can choose certain expeditions to be available even after upgrading it.. Let's face it.. Dock level 13 kinda sucks, and everyone who has upgraded it either regrets it or wants it to be levelled down and I sympathize with them because sending 4...

I found out about dock updates 13 and 14 through the forums and allies and was lucky enough to choose not to evolve further. But my allies and the entire community are upset that they no longer have some options that they had when the dock was level 12.

I am reinforcing the message from my companions so that some revision can be made.

There are many good suggestions already made here on the forum.

I believe that expeditions should not be modified as levels advance. I think the best way would be to make all expeditions of all levels available and players could be able to pre-define some expeditions of greatest interest so that the game could rotate between some pre-established locations.

On a tangential note, there really (really, really) needs to be some way to delete obsolete TTs from the Stronghold.
I have literally thousands of useless troops stored there... and I've only been playing a year and a half... I can't imagine what the SHs of people who've been playing 5+ years look like.
I use "Level 8" (Cold War) TTs and still have level 2s in my SH (and believe me, I have tried to use them!!).

Perhaps some way to combine TTs to level them up (ala Councilors) might be helpful?

Talk about QoL improvements, this'd be a BIG, HUGE one!

This has also been a much discussed suggestion here over the years.

Create a way to make it easier to delete unwanted TTs.

Or even better, update ALL TTs as the Age progresses, as with Airstrip TTs.

Some players are not interested in using TTs in multiplayer. Some players do not use outdated level TTs to donate to WW because it would not help depending on the alliance they are playing in.

Personally, I would prefer if there could be both suggestions and not just one of them.

Both the ability to delete unwanted TTs and that they are always updated to the Age Level that the player is at.

For example, I had a bad experience buying TT packages in the game store that I reserved to use in certain WWs, but I ended up advancing through Ages and the TTs I bought became outdated. I never bought TT packs again and that's one of the reasons.

In addition to this message, the improvement in quality of life would be substantial, as currently it can be time-consuming and tiring to search for certain troop tactics due to the huge number of them, not only because they are different TTs, but also because there are more than 10 different levels of each one of them.

Really nice proposal. I could add that we could exchange them with other TTs like we exchange NTGs at Marco. So you can give away the TTs that you don’t use for TTs that might help you more
