Idea peace treaty concept change / matchmaking change

[papier]

Hey Nexon,

I LOVE this game! I LOVE the updates! I LOVE your work as game designers to keep improving this game. Being a fan of Age of Empires, Rise of Nations and Empire Earth, this game for me is an absolute JEWEL.

I got an idea which will improve the matchmaking and the game experience.

My idea was to change the concept of peace treaty as follows:

-attacking no longer breaks a peace treaty
-being online doesn't prevent you from being attacked
-free peace treaty when attacked (even if you win the defense)

This way peace treaty's become more valuable as a way to protect your resources and also players using emulators or screenwakers still have to protect their resources and medals.

If I was BHG, I would give this idea a chance...

Maybe shorten the peace treaties, to prevent a no opponent situation.

Yes and this will fix the no opponents in high medals as well, because you can now attack the players that are online.

 

[Aurelius...]

Interesting idea. Worth considering.

-being online doesn't prevent you from being attacked

How exactly do you view this in regards to the game mechanics already in place? What I mean is, are you kicked offline when someone scouts you? Will an active training blessing continue to count down when you're kicked offline to be scouted? What if you yourself are in the middle of a battle/scouting another player? If there are circumstances where you aren't kicked off to be scouted (scouting/attacking a player yourself), what happens when it's abused the same way macro recording software or screenwakers are already? If the peace treaty issue isn't fixed beforehand, is it open season on you 24/7 whether you're online or not?

I'm not saying these aren't good ideas, but there are a lot of issues that would need to be worked out. The clearer your suggestion is, the easier it is for the development team to understand and consider for implementation in the future.

Not liking idea of being attacked while online. When I'm on, I like to fiddle with my base while I wait for troops... and while moving gates around, would suddenly get attacked with my base wide spread open.. not fun.

PT after any attack would be nice though, until they fix force close.

I'd look into the boom beach system. Can't be attacked while online unless your cumulative time online in the day is more than 4 hours.
I'd like to see the minimum pt time be 12 hours, so we can at least sleep without being attacked

This is how I see it, i'm not a game developer, this might be hard, I know boom beach does it so it's certainly possible. I think you're kicked offline when somebody hit attack and you receive a free peace treaty after.

Will an active training blessing continue to count down when you're kicked offline to be scouted?

I think when you're kicked offline when somebody attacked you yes.

What if you yourself are in the middle of a battle/scouting another player?

You can't be scouted/attacked while you're attacking another player.
