Museum war artifacts

[Thebigtfish]

When museum artifacts were announced to join war I started plugging away to get my spawn rate as low as possible. After watching the attack on my base there was no difference in spawn rate even though my war artifacts have stated spawn reduction should be 41%. I have reached out to customer service and they have provided limited(actually zero)useful input on the topic. Could we get clarity TinSoldier as to why the spawn rate was not reduced. Our alliance did our own testing and it seems that there is a cap on the spawn rate and all I was doing was potentially counter balancing someone else's artifact. Any clarity would be great.

On a side note I have actually liked the rebalance. The game was far to easy, with or without elephants. I do think that the rebalance has gone wrong in isolating only one nation to be usefull being germans and most barracks troops are irrelevant now, so this should be addressed. And for all the people complaining, this is a business and BHG is entitled to drive revenue.

And customers are entitled to complain , leave the game or like the changes ....and comment on their thoughts too . Complaining about people complaining need to understand that , just as they understand that BHG have the right to drive the game as they see fit , both are legitimate stances .

That BHG don’t feel the need to explain more than they have , or address peoples concerns is down to their corporate choice ....It does tend to drive a more negative response from customers, but BHG are obviously very comfortable with that , so if BHG see no problem , then I also see no problem with people commenting .....either way .

Multiple players observed that there is a lower cap on the spawn rate with the museum in multiplayer. I think 10 seconds? So with saladin and acropolis, you can only save a few seconds before it caps. I assume the same applies for war and the extra is just offsetting an enemy's time increase artifact.

It is impossible to be certain why things work out the way they do in actual wars, since no one else's boosts are shown to you. And friendly war challenges are so screwed up they don't include coalitions, I wouldn't put much stock in those correctly showing war museum boosts, and not no boosts, or your regular museum, or some other stupid combo.

In either case, I have opted out of the museum RNG rat race permanently, only responded because I happened to see your name on the post. Good luck with wars.

Mp artifacts and war artifacts are different so if you started on that artifact before the museum was included in war then it would only be for mp.

i can also testify that ‘additional wave’ can never be shorter than 10s. not so hard to achieve on garrisons and stables, but your 41% probably wont be wasted on bunkers and the rocket arsenal.

i actually have my own questions regarding museum war artifacts limits too.

when an artifact buffs defender hp or damage, which defenders does it mean? does it include ambush troops? donated troops? resistance troops? sh troops? TinSoldier was quick to clarify which towers were included in ‘all defensive tower damage’, so maybe he can clarify this one too.

and it is possible to reach more than 100% on decreases to enemy tower damage, but im sure there is a cap here too, like looted rss refund was capped at 80%. except this cap cannot be tested by players so what is the cap?

All the people who are complaining are damn right, if you play this game for more than 2 years and spent money on your base you would expect that the game stays a bit the same and not a complete turn around like this rebalance is. It is not within normal expectations of a game that all the defense gets buffed 250 percent.

 

[TinSoldier]

Some folks have on this thread have identified the Defensive troop spawning limits correctly - it's 2 seconds for the first wave, and 10 seconds for additional waves. I'd have to confirm with the team, but the supposition that additional buffs counteract attacker's bonuses seems correct at first pass.

Defenders are units spawned from your base from buildings featured on the Defensive tab of the Store. Donated Troop Tactics don't benefit from these Artifacts.

I agree! The game had become too essy so the rebalance was sorely needed! Before the rebalance, it was ridiculous how players would carelessly drop Decoys and HTs all over the battlefield and then walk away with 5 stars. I’m please with the rebalance! Although, for selfish reasons, I’d like to see the British shooters buffed and range of 6! Lol! I also love the Museum and don’t have an issue with Troop Cards. The Museum has added a much needed ‘unknown’ to the battle which makes the game more fun! I love ‘discovering’ different elements as the battle progresses. Cool and fun! More challenging now! Love it!

 

[Manifesto]

If decoys were the problem, and I agree they were too easy to use, then why the other changes?
If Factory troops were underused, why the defensive boosts? Why not simply buff the troops?
It's great that you like the extra challenge now but don't delude yourself into thinking the 'rebalances' were because the game was stale.
Actually, I agree that 'discovering' different elements is a fun part of the game. Many others would disagree with you.
I'm not sure why you think the British need a buff, my CWA boys are still doing fine, even now.

I’m finding different reasons to both like and dislike the rebalance but being that I’ve spent so much time (Not money) as well as bond with the alliance members I won’t quit. I agree that the whole reason for rebalance is not because people were posting about how easy the game. The general consensus at least on the forums has to do with hackers, war matching, and really p2w. If anyone were complain about the ease of the game, it would be those p2w players. They’ve spent all this money to max out their bases to only have them beaten time and time again. With the rebalances, it’s definitely a been a game changer and it tipped the scale towards the p2w end though it was never in the middle to begin with.

Sounds like you’re referring to an MP artifact and that’s why you’re not seeing the difference in war. Highly doubtful that anyone can have a 41% boost to any item in the war museum at this point.
