Hey Nexon

[Ravenlord]

Or Ironangel, if you're listening. Now that you guys n gals have beefed up defenses and people have made comments/complaints that bases are now tougher to crack, perhaps it's time to reverse the HC/tank nerf earlier this year and restore some of the DPS for these units. It's inconceivable that a tank takes forever to break through a wall or that a knight on a horse takes 3-4 swipes to kill a footman. Haven't you seen Lord of the Rings??!!!

Anyway, now that bases/defenses are tougher nuts to crack I - and hopefully others - think it's time to give back some DPS to HC/Tanks. As Spock would say - it's only logical.

Are you with me people?!! Vote now.

Should Nexon/BHG restore DPS on HC/Tanks?

Great idea!!!

I think that we should be looking at the big picture. Buffing HC just puts them back to where they were. It's not progressive for DomiNations meta game. Unless numbers were tweaked to only give power to tanks specifically, it would result in 100% wipes, consistently, on any base medieval and below. The best choice, and most interesting choice would be to add another offensive option. Another big game... Clash of... ah, I forget the name, has just been doing lots of dicussions about balancing new offensive options against new defenses in their upcoming update. It's definitely exciting when offensive capabilities are added that we haven't seen before like... Generals with abilities?! Or maybe unmanned run away Chinese firework carts that self destruct on impact. (Any help with the ideas here, guys?)

Air units were supposed to be the great ace, (no pun intended) but maybe against max bases with triple AA, that power can be underwelming. I don't know personally.

I always look forward to new content though, and would love more offensive capabilities in IA. Maybe when Global Age drops something new will be thrown in for IA. If tweaks to Tanks will assist better, then why not, but surely not for the young ones. Let their souls never be touched by the days of old. Ten years ago when Sin appeared and attacked Spira and got 5 stars on every town.. Ah, right, wrong game.

Seriously dude - take a breath and calm down. HC (the later ones especially) & tanks need a buff to balance the current increase in defenses. In fact, DPS for HC should've been left alone last time and defenses buffed instead. That would've made more sense.

And I'ld be happy with a partial buff. As I said in the first post ''give back some DPS'' - no-one wants to make HC overpowered again.

I'll talk on behalf of Nexon. They probably won't mind.

We know you can't win against defenses anymore unless you throw in all your mercenaries, planes, 2 generals and all war tactics. This is intended so you can use crowns to speed up your army retrain.

Please stop asking for free stuff.

I don't mind if you speak on behalf of Nexon - if I can speak on behalf of players wanting the HC restoration ...... on second thoughts, I like this forum - would hate to get a permanent ban.

Please stop asking for free stuff.

What? We are not entitled to free stuff? LOL!

 

[JuDomines]

I'd rather prefer they make soldiers useful again. I actually find tank just fine.

I currently play as the Greeks and since the update, whether it's AI or nerfing the Companions or whatever, I am finding attacking to be very tough sledding.

For one thing it seems the Companions are prioritizing enemy troops over defensive buildings, which results is absurdities like 6 Companions poking at a bunch of horsemen, standing right in front of a Ballista tower, who proceeds to take out the entire contigent of Companions without them ever turning the take on the source of their death.

Tonight I've been experimenting with lots of different builds trying to get back my attack mojo that I had a week or two ago and just can't find it. I'm Gunpowder, attacking Medieval, and getting wiped out with a 2 star victory and less than 10k loot (combined!). That's literally not enough to rebuild the army (not even close).

No, I'm not using Mercs and try to limit to 2 tactics per engagement. I've been a good amount of money on this game but I'm not going to start using 4 tactics and rushing them with $ after every battle, if that's what they have in mind. Sigh.

Anyway, I am most likely going to Revolution away from the Greeks to a force that doesn't rely on the heavy knights because they really seem quite ineffective right now.

I just clicked like, but though I "like" your post, HK, I'm not thrilled with the reality.

I agree that infantry needs to be improved. AI and range would be good. They used to be such a strong troop.
