So I'm finding it way harder to save up resources with the new release, anyone else notice this too? Probably because the improved AI is allowing attacks to be more successful so people are attacking more.

Yeah I am being attacked much more often. Use ot be able to get 5 or more attacks before being attacked now if I log off for a few minutes I am usually attacked.

The defense has been buffed multiple times, attacks on players have increased. They are deliberately trying to slow progression in this game, no doubt about it.

I imagine casual players are not progressing much at all.

Casual players never progress in these games past the first initial levels of a building. But ur other statement doesnt make sense. Defense was buffed so player attacks have increased? Attacking now is harder than ever in the game. If attacks have increased on lower level players then its just trickle down effect. Industrial was released. Players that were max enlightenment become active again. Increasing the pressure at the top. When there were more inactive players. The farmig/raiding pressure had more options to spread around. Plus failed defense takes a lot of medals. So between top players needing to farm gold again. And needing more battles to maintain their medals. Theres a lot more combat happening. The fact that u get attacked immediately when log off means nothing...or rather its a good sign. There another topic on this page with people saying the player base is inactive because they dont get attacked anymore.

I'm getting attacked more often and attacking is more difficult. Defense is buffed so attacking is harder.

As for attacks against me, somehow I'm in a queue that makes sure I'm attacked alot more often. Not sure how or why your confused

Haha ok let me try to explain to u slower. What u read as my confusion. Was me trying to clear things up for u. Since u didnt catch the nuance of it all ill just state things plainly. Funken_A is not in some special que where u get attacked more often. You are being attacked more because industrial was released and the general player base is more active. There, i think that will sink in. We do agree that attacking is harder. And yet defense still barely matters. U will log off. And u will be attacked beaten immediately. Nexon has a certain speed they want the game played at. I doubt their perfectly where they want to be in the defense vs offense balance. There will be more balance updates and the pendulum will swing again.

It goes with 'waves' for me and hardly depends on medals, caz top players loose medals faster now and need resources. Craziness starts after 1400 medals, so you may need to stay in silver now. Once I get to 1300 medals, it gets to norma where I can stay some hours without attacks, but it varies of course based on resources and days.

Not getting attacked as much as I did before the update last month and since the IA update its dropped dramatically still. I'm around 1700 medals Industrial so I mostly get attacked by level 30 generals and Zepplins 😒

Actually I am being attacked mostly by Gunpowder age players. Rarely get attacked by Enlightenment players, and never been attacked by a Industrial aged player. I'm at 1200 medals.

Actually I think more active players are put in a more active queue. the more you attack the more you will be attacked.. I play the same amount as pre-update, but I am definitely being attacked more often post update

Ur in the same que as everyone else at ur medal range funken

How do you know ? Its the only thing that explains my increase in attacks. Your theory would make sense if I was being attacked by enlightenment and industrial aged players but that is not what is happening to me.

I still think more active players are being attacked more. Makes sense ot me. The changes implemented over the last 6 months IMO were implemented to slow progression. Using that logic then active players would be attacked more.

I have a player in my alliance who hasn't been attacked in over 5 days. That player is not nearly as active a I am... Those who are more active in my alliance seem to get attacked more.

Yep, while I was talking to you guys, I've got attacked twice in 20 mins. GP all-in and IA raiders. No peace treaty so far.

Theres so many things wrong with this quote im not sure where to begin. here we go....when u say ur theory of a "special que" is the ONLY thing that explains increased attacks against u. What u should say is its the only theory YOU can came up with that explains increased attacks. What YOU came up with is a ridiculous quasi conspiracy theory about the man holding active players down. There are many reasons why funkin is being attacked a lot and every one of them is considerably more believable than the concoction u came up with. Trying to explain to u that industrial release = more active player base = more attacks at all medal ranges feels like trying to explain why the sky is blue to a child. I tell them its the suns rays bouncing off atoms which absorbs the color spectrum except blue which gets reflected to your eye. He stares back at me and declares the sky is blue because unicorns made it blue and its the ONLY theory that can explain it. I chuckle give him a hug and send him outside to play with the other children. Your that child funken....just in case u decide im confused again :).....before the update maxed out enlightenment players were hoarding gold with nothing to spend it on. That massive reserve of gold at the top has been depleted on walls, buildings. Medals trickle their way upwards. Starting with the inactive 200 medal players who feed the vine upwards. The gold at the top feeds its way downwards. Besides players having to scramble harder to make gold. Medal farmers are scrambling to keep up with their defense medal losses. You have players who reactivated because of industrial update. Overall u end up with a frenzy of attacking all up and down the food chain. Besides ALL that. Ur medal range vs medal count matters. If ur at the top of ur medal league everyone in ur medal league is gonna earn tons of medals for defeating you. On flip side all ull see is 1 medal victories. Ur defense vs ur storage will encourage or discourage people to attack you. Ur inactive friend probably has low storage, towards the bottom of his league. Also actual league matters. Empire has all the active players hitting battle button spam. 200 medals can probably go for a while between attacks....all that plus other things i havent thought of are why attacks happen.....or we can go with your conspiracy theory

dbukalski, although i agree with your theory, your comment feels like you're talking down to funken and has an overall mean tone. He's just trying to express his own opnion.

Can you show me where you felt he offended you so badly that you feel the need to call him dumb and be disrespectful? I've been lurking on these forums for a while and I appreciate your contributions immensely I feel like you are going overboard. Go back , re read his responses.. He's being pretty civil imo
