So what are your thoughts on the variations in the ''dock'' ?

Do you mean league boat /victory chest, or expeditions?

The league boat rewards are very cluttered with junk, enough that it reduces the incentives to climb medals, especially once you have permanently maxed food and gold with walls done. In dynasty three, I only get something useful from it a few times a week. But that isn't new. And victory chests are very similar.

The dock expeditions are less useful than pre museum. Given the percentage of supplies required vs researchers / benefactors, every expedition with a researcher / benefactor as the reward is a waste after a certain point. One of those expeditions used to give a free peace treaty instead. I objected when they did it, but care less than with other things because it requires workers that I have better uses for. The random bonus reward has never had much chance of being good - rarely crowns, mostly piles of leather or fur.

This game is suffering badly from a proliferation of resources to collect, most of which you can't get predictably by regular play. The museum added 5 different resources, 3 of which cannot be produced on your base or gotten from attacking. And the archive has 4 now, all less general purpose replacements for crowns. Since the museum and archive came out we have 7 new things to collect that can't be gotten from battles. That seriously dilutes the reward pool in the boats, the chests, and now the ads.

Reading about people complaining about having to watch a 30 sec video for free stuff is frustrating.... There are so many other things Nexon needs to worry about than how much free stuff we get.... I enjoyed the 75 crown 30 sec videos for a while but alas... it was not meant to stay.

I've earned over 30,000 crowns by completing goals in other games through the free offers.

I like the new offer of Troop Tactics, Air Training Blessings, Supplies, etc. I've gotten some ninja armies, shield maidens, and air training blessing. I'm pretty happy it was free :)

My gripe has more to do with cheating, lack of info on museum, boring/time consuming nature of fragment to blueprint conversion, bad museum artifact management system and wanting certain troops improved so they have more utility ( ie. machine gunner +1 range, commando 2x movement speed and disable 2 traps instead of ignore unlimited traps) ....

Stop complaining about getting less free crowns. Go play a free game for 10 minutes and get 300 crowns if you're so concerned. Or go beat the World War rising challenge and get 4-5000 crowns or w/e.

Please just let Nexon focus on fixing War MM, catching cheaters, improving the museum / showing stats in wars and adding new cool library and university upgrades, new buildings, traps, and troops for Space Age. Also, making the game accessible to new players ( ie. $ per age advancement $5 each Dawn to Enlightenment ( $40 total), $20 each Industrial to Atomic ( $60 total) and $80 Atomic to CWA. All of your buildings are upgraded to highest level of preceding age ie. Atomic Base with maxed Global buildings.

I know too many people who have been screwed by the new offer providers and didn't get crowns, or did but only after hours of followup time over weeks after they completed the offer and were given nothing. Not going down any route that doesn't provide immediate rewards. The new provider isn't exactly new anymore, but the horror stories continue.

Free is free, you get it by spending some time watching a add. Tried the offers once but it was complicated and to time consuming for me.
NateTheGreat your right there are more important things nexon should focus on.

I love this new video reward system so much, like I said I even logged in with my iron accounts only to waste my time collecting it! 😉
Call me a hippie! 😆

forget that noise. Those prices arent in line with reality when you think of how much upgrade time you are circumventing by "buying an age." I'd be pissed if suddenly a base that took me months to upgrade could now be bought with 40$. If nexon wants to make the game more competitive for new players they should offer more speedups.

Agreed. There's too much of the "I want things easier and I want it now" mentality in the world.
What's wrong with 'working' for something? The concept of 'earning' something seems to be lost on today's short-attention-span generation. :p

It's much faster clearing bases, my bazookas and apcs + Bundeswehr ( German +20% dmg) + 15% dmg tectonic fury is really nice.
I've got my factory lv9 upgrading, bunker lv 5 upgrading, and armory lv 9 completed plus started work on lv 12 towers so I can shoot down planes easily ( 850 dps is nasty).

Also thanks for noticing :) I've been planning this since they announced the Winter for Ages late November. I've gained +20 levels since then. I wanted to be in good position for the Space Age release and need to get HT Mk7's online ASAP.

I'm open to suggestions, I'm just saying they aren't bringing in new players and need to find a way to spike the base of AA players. They really can't wait another 3 years to get a whole bunch of AA players if this game has any hope of surviving. I understand the ''hardwork'' motto, as I have worked hard to gain every single tower level and trap upgrade. But if my alliance all of a sudden had +10 new AA players added and could war with, I'd be super pumped.

Btw I never once was upset as a World of Warcraft player finding out that what took me 2-3 years of hard work and play time someone could buy for $80. By the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th expansions new players were so far behind and WoW was losing it's player base after 6-8 years of growth. Besides how are you going to get new players involved when they want to spend 2 hours a night after they get off work and then you tell them.... no no no You need to spend the next 3 years progressing before you can play at my level.... they'll never ever catch up. I was just happy to have a thriving game to be apart of with more alliances, more traffic and more fun!!

And who says spending $180 ( Dawn to CWA) on one game shouldn't get you a big boost?? Btw I'm not saying they would get maxed library, maxed university, or shiny 3-4 star artifacts.... No no no. They need to work for those.

As some here have pointed out, the video rewards will change on a daily basis (if they available in your region.)

Aside from the things we've seen so far, what would you like to see as video rewards?

whenever they ask us what we want to see, its so that they can AVOID those things. we now have recruits in the rotation. if just one of the 5 rewards was something like a fighter recruit i would not be saying this

I knew someone would come out and say something! 😆
Yeah I don't like today's rewards TinSoldier. Please, no more recruits 😕
Gunpowder and below got Vikings, why not applying to higher ages as well?

Fighter recruits would be very welcome. Sometimes I lose a plane and I would like to replace it without using a 12 air blessing.

The museum video rewards are out of whack. 5 supplies, 4 researchers, and 4 benefactors? We are awash in researches and benefactors. To fully upgrade one artifact you need 2800 supplies, 175 researchers, and 200 benefactors. That means the ratio of supplies to benefactors needed is 14 to 1. I and many others would be much happier with 20 supplies, 1 researcher, 1 benefactor.

How about this setup:

Video 1: 10 supplies
Video 2: 10 supplies
Video 3: 4 Researchers
Video 4: 4 Benefactors
Video 5: 2 star WAR HALL artifact

I'd even be happy to watch 7 videos like this:
Video 1: 5 supplies
Video 2: 5 supplies
Video 3: 5 supplies
Video 4: 5 supplies
Video 5: 4 Researchers
Video 6: 4 Benefactors
Video 7: 2 star artifact

Different people will complain about different things because different people dislike different things but one thing stays the same: people will complain! :D
Whether we like all the rewards is besides the point. l like the diversity and at least Nexon has tried something different and made it more interesting.
They won't know what works and what doesn't until they try.

Kudos for making suggestions instead of simply complaining.
Nice list but you can't really expect museum supplies all the time. (although it would be great!)
As long as we have a rotation system then different people will get their preferred rewards from time to time.

Agreed. I'm suggesting when the museum comes up, it could be changed to what I put above. I wouldn't want supplies all the time because I want crowns too!
