Oil Boom Balance Update

[Aussie guy]

Don't worry, they will probably reduce the power of the animal and gathering blessings at the next update too.

 

[Aussie guy]

The more we talk about the 15 minutes of hunting and gathering....the more likely they will nerf that too.

 

[marcspence]

What? You nerfed horses? C'mon guys. Now they are worthless. Calvary raiders needed adjustment. They run at light speed and defenses cannot catch them. Are you trying to run non gemmers out of game??? Do you listen to your players? No battle sharing, no alliance wars, no way for our leaders to send msgs to troops. And now you just continue to nerf troops dps. This is a horrible adjustment pls correct and communicate with your alliance leaders before you have no players left. I am not happy :/

If you are like or getting to be like coc, why should we play here, we just go back to coc.

I have spent way more money on crowns than I should have, but since I have been having fun playing, now with this update I feel like I have had the old bait and switch pulled on me. Yes, this improves the chance of having a good defense, but the fun part of playing this game and the things that I have been readily willing to pay money to upgrade has been my offense and now I don't get to play that nearly as much. I don't think it is right to have a product that people get used to, pay money to play, and then change it so dramatically on them, this is not good customer service. If had not spent over $200 on crowns for this game in a fairly short period of time it would be one thing, but as a paying customer I feel like you have stolen from me because you promised one thing and have now taken it back. These kinds of changes make me very, very hesitant to spend any more money on this game, please show your users that we can trust you enough to spend our hard earned money with you.

This update really is horrible. Today I used the rally feature in hopes that my troops could breach a wall. Once the wall was breached, EVERY last troop turned around in a single file line and about ten seconds later turned back around thru the wall to its intended target.

They are punch bags now, not tanks. Taking 6 slots, they should have at least twice dps of footmen to meet nations and walls/dps balance. They should reduce HP instead and fix AI of course.

 

[Redgar]

And training blessing too. Comon, bhg show us what you've got. We're still looting millions of gold per hour )))

 

[Damascus]

Come on devs..you have to respond to all this. You have 61 posts concerning your update and 59 hate it.

 

[Punisher1603]

I'm greek and WHY THE F WOULD YOU NERF CAVALRY????????!!!!!!!!!!! They are my best units!!!!! Now they are useless. I had good tactics for raiding but not anymore! I'm soooooo pissed right now!!!!!

 

[MisterY]

95 posts, about 90% of the posts says the update was a complete piece of crap... hmmmmmm if i wasnt stupid i would think theres something going on here
Considering the activity of the forums and how this post probably made the highest post count says something doesnt it?

Now either reduce the population cost of the cavalry or just make your AI smarter. If you reduce the dmg by 30+% why not reduce the population by 30%

The devs constantly ignoring their own community will probably make a loss for you guys but maybe thats what you want

Balanced matchmaking? I'm level 103 Enlightment, currently silver 1. At least 80% of the times I press "next battle" I'm match against a level 127/128 and the occassional 150+ with maxed out walls... Still I attack very often and lord behold I Get to face one or two lv 20 generals... What about cleaning the leagues of cheaters the next update? Just a thought....

 

[Horrorofyid]

I am a fairly new player to the game. I was turned onto it by a friend who had never played COC. The first thing i noticed was how easy attacking was in iron and classical age. I told my friend to battle constantly now because it would not stay so easy. I went with brits which seems to be one of the weaker civs. My special unit is pretty worthless, mainly ai issues as mentioned 50+ times before now. The one way they kind of worked was with HC. The troop space to power ratio of HC is so off now i have no good strat for attacks at all. I knew that tweaks were needed to make defence more viable with a smart build, but now even a moronic base is too costly/time consuming to attack. Ill just check in once a day, collect from my farms and roads, and update something when i have the loot. At this point no reason to buy crowns. And any waiting for devs to hear thier plee for ai fix, dont hold your breath they are obviously not smart enough to figure out how to make better ai.

I took the time to finally join the forum just so that I could express my disappointment for this update. I started playing this game instead of Clash of Clans for the one simple fact that your troops return to you. I liked that if I played tactically, I could play for hours at a time, instead of waiting an hour for army to rebuild like in Clash. I even bought the initial starter pack for $, and refered several friends to the game. But the last few updates seem determined to ruin the fun of the game. I consider myself a good attacker, and I play Germans, and yet I can rarely beat players my own level anymore. HC were good before, but you could have just reduced their health some, not nerfed their attack by nearly 40%. How about you fix the things all your players are calling for? 1) Civilization balances. Scroll through the list of top players. Seems 50% are Romans. That means something is wrong. 2) AI Units do stupid stuff all the time. Attack walls when they don't need to. Get completely incapacitated by a few defending troops. Screw up when Rallied, and take long paths around buildings to get somewhere. 3) Get rid of cheaters. It's not that hard to filter players and see unexplained growth. I run into players running two level 20 generals quite often. I highly doubt they got those without cheating. 4) Give us some kind of Alliance wars. Otherwise the game gets boring. I'm not quitting this game because of this update. Not yet. But it makes me hardly play anymore. And unless the next updates are really good, I'm not going to keep playing for much longer.

I never posted here in the past as I was just rolling with the changes, but had to respond to this. I'm a lvl 84 Gunpowder Age player. I have spent some money in the past, but stopped spending 2-3 months ago due to a host of issues with the game. I like the game and wanted to give the devs a chance....see if they fixed any of the issues. Unfortunately, every release/update since that time has made the game worse. The community has given feedback on major issues such as cheating/hacking, atrocious AI, lack of dev feedback, etc and have been basically ignored. Rather than fixing those issues we get updates that make the game worse. So, once again, how about the devs do this:

1 - Fix the absolutely horrible AI issues
2 - Deal with the cheaters/hackers
3 - Start providing feedback to the community
4 - When you get those issues fix, then you can work on balancing the game

The devs did do something though, they finally got the community to be unified. If you read through this thread, it is near unanimous that the HC nerf was too much and a very bad decision. Roll back the HC nerf....deal with the major issues and then work on balancing the game.

Lastly, at this point, it is difficult to not be cynical. We have an update with near 100% negative feedback. All the moderators has disappeared and we have some posts from new people that say the update was ok....mmmm.

 

[Redgar]

The rest two are probably in medieval/early GP or paid 'pr community throlls'

 

[Jaekid]

That was probably the last nail on the coffin.
It is sad that these strategy games have the same fate.
yesterday it was parallel kingdom - great game ruined by insensitive devs and senseless updates
today it is dominations

 

[Jaekid]

seriously dev, look at some statistics - if you have a player online time stat, i bet it is going down.

 

[Kiro1978]

Sry guys - I want my money back!

 

[Aussie guy]

They have had months to clean up cheaters. All evidence suggests that they are not going to clean them up. In fact this update gives level 127/128 bases with maxed up walls and two level 20 generals an even bigger advantage, as those bases are almost impossible to knock over.
