Post Update: Are you playing less?

[Aurelius...]

I'm curious. The update increased building time significantly. Are people playing less as a result? I think it would be useful for the devs to know if this is the case.

 

[blackberryman]

Yup I am. Because you gotta wait 8-24+ hours to build things. Getting ridiculous.

Eventually its 12 days to upgrade a mortar/catapult. Ur new to these games. 8-24hrs is fast

On the plus side u can do up to 4 buildings at a time(if its 3 workers) which means every 3 days u have an upgrade finished(12 days divided by 3 buildings). And ull need that time because 7million gold to ugrade. And u have blacksmith, library research.

Id say enjoy the game but since ur already unhappy at 8hr upgrade time candy crush is >>> way

Latest IA library addition is 7 days

I am, partly because they've knocked the fun out of it and mainly because I've got no diamonds - somebody just took the last 3. So unless the League Boat arrives with 2 tonight, I'm having the night off.

Sounds like u should find a way to play where ur diamonds in > diamonds out if going empty grinds ur gaming to a halt

My storage is always maxed out with diamonds. Its cider i have to work at by farming it off trees

Every strategy game I’ve played

- Act of War
- Command and Conqueror
- Act of Aggression
- Star Craft
- Rise of Nations (DomiNations is made by Rise of Nations Developers?)
- Age of Empires

has never made you wait multiple day’s in-between things. The fact it can take multiple hours to rebuild half an army is ridiculous especially when the game forces you to grind multiplayer battles non-stop to get enough gold & food because your own farms & roads produce nothing basically. I can understand multiple days for advancing civilizations but upgrading my food storage shouldn't take 3 days when that completely stalls my development of my base when everything seems to cost 10k more than what my food and gold limit currently is. Also not being able to research stuff concurrently at the library is a joke.

All this game is is basically Grind Simulator unless you want to pay ridiculous prices for crowns that barely last. If you pay $12 for 1200 crowns, that might instantly develop 1-2 things. There's no value in crowns AT all. NEXON has made a good money making scam with this game.

It takes multiple HOURS to rebuild half your army? O: what army are you using??? Are you playing the same game as the rest of us?

Is this new update seriously all that bad? I'm just now coming back to the game but these posts make it seem like the game has fallen apart

im not sure that comparison is a fair one. youre comparing RTS games with "clash of clans" games. they seem completely different. thats like comparing RPGs with MMORPGs and saying RPGs were less grindy than MMOs...

Playing much less, although I never really cared for the build times, its not until they messed with the TB allowing training times to go up, that's where I stopped. Even when I had maxed out resources and building times at 4+ days I would still consistently raid people simply because training times were so short and it was fun, but now its a joke in my opinion. 1 hour TB with 10+ minute troop build times, basically you get 6 attacks before TB runs out (if you lose your whole army). So far since the update this is pretty much what happens with me, Raid -> TB up -> retrain army 10min+ -> go do something else while waiting for army -> loses motivation, wastes TB. I've done that more than 5+ times lol. They should just switch back to the old way, 30 minutes w/ 77% was perfect.

Im playing less. Was getting used to TB and training up a new farming army in ~5 mins. Now with the increase training time for raiders, plus the reduction in TB training decrease, I have to wait ~15 mins. So for an hours TB, I can only raid 4 times.

Upgrade costs are going up, and times between raids are also increasing, so I cannot do it as often. Also they increased the number of diamonds, which sucks. I have only used the TB blessing once since the update- I just cannot justify the cost. I've also raided a lot less, and have therefore also farmed less. My upgrading of my base has ground to a stand still.

 

[Saxon]

Agree the old costs/time/reduction should be kept. The issue was balancing the TB with the French nation bonus.

no just a bunch of players spoiled on ultra quick training. 10 min is too long compared to all other games at 30min. go play boom beach or coc and then ull know what its like to wait for rebuilding.

new players who never experiences 40second-5min train times will not be on here complaining

 

[Eddie F1]

Only a couple of days ago I was maxed out on diamonds - having to waste them on Weapon Blessing & Fortification, but just had a run of bad luck - 3 League Boats with none, every attacker gets 2 or 3, new TB takes 2, every base I attack that says diamonds I get a turnip. I did get one or two by 3 starring a few bases with raiders only.

Might have to trade a wonder for Angkor Wat.

Nah it isn't because either way, sooner or later you'll end up playing less and less anyways. This update just happens to be for many, where people find themselves playing less and less, including myself. o; They should stick with the old saying of "If it aint' broken don't fix it"

the game was seriously broke before. less in some ways(opponents, france being op) more in others(ai has more problems)

Yeah I know, I seen a lot of things.. Yes I agree with the opponent matching etc and France being op, with like 10 second train time or something like that pre-update, and I don't know if AI was always this bad or just got seriously worse after update seeing how I sent a wall miner; destroys wall, send in raiders and they attack wall next to it.. GG.. But as I said before, this update just added more to the point where people are finding themselves playing less and for those that were already playing less, playing once in a blue moon.
