50% faster troops and 75% faster tactics is how it should be all the time, the game has a feel of progress rather than a 'Watching Paint Dry* Simulator' - add it as a permanent feature.

I was going to have a poll, but a single option is not an option.

Would be nice if training rate was adjusted to compensate for the population of the active dominations players. It is nice to entice a smaller playerbase to attack more so that they are more active. I guess the disadvantage is that PTs would also be getting handed out a lot to less active players. Which with a smaller player base also makes the available pool of available bases to attack smaller too. It's a double-edged sword.

Remove this event NOW!

Just realised I spent more crowns in the last 24 hours, than the past month.
When you see 'Instant' army for 80-150 crowns, it's a no sale.
Now with the event it's down to 15-20, let's go again.

Yeah I actually noticed that also...with the faster training etc. I'm compelled to use more crowns so resources are not sitting around waiting to get raised...

i agree troops training time needs reworking
why do i have to wait 15 mins if i lose a single artillery which is a 100% possibility with the amount of traps available now
i know this can be faster with TB but i can't commit myself to stay 1 hour on the game and i think it was better when it was 30 min with a higher training speed %

for the tactics bonus i guess I adapted not using many tactics long time ago because of their training time but i guess the event 75% bonus was way too much and allowed everyone to spam 5-6 tactics every battle which is unskillful gameplay maybe reducing to 20-25min per tactic would be decent

Given up. It's unplayable above 3000. It's not a strategy game or skill, just pure luck whether you get any opponent what so ever, aka 'No Opponent Found' or anything worth more than 1 medal.

I used the speedy training to do some back to back attacks, gained maybe 28 medals, but got taken for 31 after logging off, then 27 the next time.

So tumbled back down to 3004

Seems many players you were above 3200 are shedding medals for better war matchups (even though I thought medals don't count), so there even fewer folk above & around 3000 to find a decent attack.

Shambolic game design. It wouldn't even matter if I was inclined to drop real money, money doesn't buy opponents or a place on the Leaderboard.

I don't have the time either and I'd guess 99% of the potential player base doesn't which is probably the No 1 design FU - most players with the time to invest have been in CoC, GoW, etc for the last 4 years and aren't going to jump ship just because something is new to do pretty much exactly the same thing.

And Tactics aren't really tactics, just magic spells by another name, I can think of a few ways the Academy could have been used to develop real tactics by the player and overcome some of the game's moronic AI.

Absolutely this!
I spent $20 for more crowns over the weekend to speed up generals and keep playing.
Dominations was actually fun again....20 minute wait time for full army reload is a worthwhile wait, or better yet, spend a few crowns and keep attacking! (which is what I did)

Logged in today, did one attack, and now have to wait 40 minutes for troops to retrain (not even mentioning tactics,which is absurdly long)....that's NOT fun.
Keep playing? nah, what's the point? I'll just have to wait 40 more minutes after the next attack.

This event showed how fun Dominations can be, but how NOT fun it actually is in its current state of long wait times.

Training times need to be reduced, not by blessings either.

Hope someone is listening.....

Game was a fps slideshow on my Samsung Tablet 4 and I still played, that was how good those training and tactics reductions where BHG. Those reductions are things that shouldn't be an event, they should be the main game. It highly incentivized a lot of folk to actually play the game, and invest in crowns for troops like another round at the slow machine. Atleast if the forum goers are to be trusted. I wonder what the statistics were during this event. The team says they're always keeping track of them so I'd love to know how much player activity the game saw during the event.

Completely agree with Eddie F1! The game was a lot more fun to play with the faster troop training time and the faster tactics training.
And, I still took up many Training Blessings (playing as the French) on top of the already faster troop training time during this event, and I kept wanting to play more.
It definitely gave a great gaming experience! Of course, the game crashed during battles (or lost connectivity with the game server) and I lost all of my troops (at least three to five times), I was climbing medals, and I lost a lot of medals due to mid-battle crashes, but, somehow, the positive gaming experience from faster troop training time compensated for those negatives, and I continued playing...

It would definitely benefit both Nexon and the gaming community if the faster troop training is made a permanent feature!
