[poll] Buffs or Nerfs?

[Gambrinus]

With all the talk about unit and nation rebalancing i just want to ask everyone (so the devs can see) if they would prefer to see the next rebalance update filled with buffs or nerfs to bring nations and units more in line with each other.

i believe that you can accomplish a good balance in game via both methods. just i suspect that one way leads to a happy user base that spend money on the game, and the other just makes people upset and they either quit the game or dedicate more time to complaining in the forums rather than actually playing the game.

When u want to nerf raider tc sniping u buff tc hp = happy customers with same effect as nerfing raiders = unhappy customers.

Want to nerf hc? Buff cannon damage = happy customers

They did these things

I just think they should fix the fact that everyone I battle is lvl 163. Funny how so many ppl from countries that just got into the game are already 163 or how many ppl are 163 with only a few hundred medals. Mmmmm fix it

 

[dbukalski]

Ok...who voted nerf...whos the rebel without a cause? Name thy self

 

[Redgar]

Its carlossuarez ))) any reasons?

 

[Redgar]

Well, raiders rock only because they avoided nerf so far and kinda stay in the old buffed balance.

France become OP only because we have no returning armies now and the more you face 'no opponents' the less its benefits.

Again, I think its correct to build a 1 wall piece in 1 hour so gold revenue is balanced and no need to nerf it too.

The worst devs can do is nerf raiders, france, tb and gold tevenue.

Instead they should buff nations doing 'gold revenue' balance, buff defence where needed and buff attack, so 5-starring works.

I agree with a comment above...fix all the hacked level 163 bases before nerfing or buffing troops. Most enjoyable time I had playing this game was in February and March when my fusiliers on mass could cut through a base like a hot knife through butter. That was fun. If I wanted a technical chess-like game, I would play chess. All the fun stuff in this game gets diminished by the developers. For example they say bring more Gatling guns to the battle....then they halve the damage they do and remove the training blessing from them...talk about party poopers!

 

[CarlosSuarez]

I was joking guys. Of cours I want a buff!!!

 

[Tickling]

I think Carlos is onto something. I think we need MORE nerfs. They just need to nerf walls, building hp, defenders, tower damage, etc., and the game will be back to playable And the best part is, the developers get to save face. Because that's important.

I'm going to abstain - until they fix the cheats and hacks and create a level playing field it all seems a bit pointless

 

[Redgar]

Well, I even got used to cheats ))). I don't see any difference who attacks me and cheats at least give me long PT. Also I can win their bases and they give me lots of gold. So I am more concerned about combat state and features I can really use in current balance. It is really few. And its boring grind. I do not enjoy combats any more like I used to, so that's no 1 issue for me.

I found some motivation in helping my alliance gain medals, but it is limited with no opponents and medal losses.

So they should not take away that tiny piece of wall I can build 2-4 per day, because it'll freeze game progress completely. But if they let me loot the same using multiple troops, it would be fun imo

 

[Eddie F1]

Agree with all your points - it's a sad game when you actually look forward to a 16 hour PT so don't have to play. That's basically a screw-up on the monetisation model - 8 day upgrade times to frustrate people into paying, isn't working with me, so I see 4 days remaining before barracks finish which means I have 3 days off then loot 5m food for the next 8 day upgrade.

The ToDo list of fixes is so long, every element of this game needs tweaking/reworking. So instead of the devs running around like headless chickens tinkering with this and that - they need to focus one part only and fix it properly.

 

[Gambrinus]

so, it seems that everyone, other than the class clown, would like to see the next rebalance update include lots of buffs for our units and nations.

i really hope that the devs can see, that as a community that had a hard time agreeing on anything, we all agree on this simple principle: adding buffs = adding more fun vs nerfing = frustration and less fun

 

[Redgar]

Yea, nerfing defense is also won't help and will make ppl who paid for smth anrgy. ia mortair upgrade adds like 5 dmg as I was told... Nothing much and nowhere to nerf. While IA cannon tower adds like 1200 dmg, 10 times more than EA upgrade... They were really affraid of tanks spam it seems.

May be they should let army return on 3-4 stars, what do you think? Because there are soo many def structures that you just dont have enough time to finish IA base.

 

[Gambrinus]

dang, they really added that much damage to IA cannons, that's crazy. i guess they really are scared to death of tank spam and/or they hate generals.

i think they should add more time to the battle timer, like 15 second per age starting in GP. that and buff troops appropriately, that would help with troops not coming home.

also i would like to see at least 1 guaranteed medal for each star earned in battle.

then a league bonus multiplier of 33% for each of the destruction stars.

50% destruction = 33% league bonus
75% destruction = 66% league bonus
100% destruction = 100% bonus

that would make armies that focus on destroying the enemy more profitable than the ones that just sniping TCs.

 

[Gambrinus]

anyone from BHG out there? we'd really like buffs to our troops and nations and not a big fat nerf to the TB.

 

[Redgar]

Yea, listen to your players and do vice verse. 'How-to-fail-rule'
