Speed ups mean spending money

[Horsepower]

BHG, please consider dumping these stupid Speed up perks for sale. It’s ridiculous that after players complained they wanted a speed up blessing for Fighters that you got the bright idea of Speed ups for crowns and rubies. Why must you charge us real money for these? It’s insulting that you even have these Speed ups in Marco for crowns and rubies. Stop it once and for all. Stop trying to make a buck out of every component of this game. The rebalance is hard enough getting use to. We really don’t need you trying to squeeze us for money every opportunity you can.

Give us a real speed up blessing. Enough already with these money making gimmicks.

Agreed. These gimmicks hurt YOUR reputation BHG. Alienating your customers is a horrible long-term business plan. Essentially what you are doing is literally stripping the moral out of your occasional spenders, giving them a “why bother” attitude. It is these spenders who the Whales love to pray on in wars, but if they leave (as they are) who will your Whales prey on then... eachother? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t see a reality where someone countines to buy Elephant Archers to WIN a war, when they fails to do so, again and again and again... Give your occasional spenders a reason to stay and PLAY the game. Play, of course being the key word here because no one like to sit and watch their army retrain for hours on end.

I recently used this game as an example of unethical (and stupid) business practices for my final business presentation, and my professor was surprised to hear I didn’t make any of this up. That this is actually how you treat your loyal, enthusiastic customers.



Get it together , BHG

I have to fully agree with the above. Speed ups and wall manuals are nothing more than a gimmick. They are a superfluous currency and another stupid layer of spending. We already could spend a pro-rated set of crowns before to speed up and finish building/upgrading times or to upgrade walls without resources. Why even have these? We never get them frequent enough as rewards or in worthy amounts. All you want people to do is spend to have fun and enjoy your game. It’s not a game anymore. It’s a spending latter you have to climb while gambling.

BHG you need to come out with more transparency and communication fast because Muet has been mute the last few weeks. Our alliance and line app chat rooms are dead when they used to be alive and fun.

And I never get attacked anymore. It’s turning into a single player building game. I cant believe the idiocracy in what you all think is and isn’t a problem to YOUR players.

it feels like the frequency of free speedups appearing in victory chests and league boat has been lowered as well. i mean even lower than expected from wall manuals taking up space. on my main i received 2 speedups in the last 15 days. on my alt i dont even remember the last time i received one.

 

[Cannibals]

In the 80 says since archive came out, I’ve collected 7d18h of speeds ups from free chests and boats. However, that time can’t be applied across all my upgrades. Normally I have like 4 building upgrades, 2 library upgrades, and 2 armory upgrades going at once. So that would equate to less than 1 day of upgrades in 80 days, or about 1% speedup. For free. meh

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Let us purchase even short speedups with gold/food/oil and let those short speedups be used for anything, yes, even troop/aircraft training. Let us do the same for wall manuals and allow those of us with maxed walls to stockpile them for future ages. If dedicated CWA players are instantly able to get all their level 17 walls the instant they become available, so what? It's been made abundantly clear that they want defenses at an absurd level anyway.

Give us value for our long ago maxed resources, a reason to acquire them again on a daily basis and less silly restrictions on archive content. Then the archive could go from one of the most laughable recent additions to the one of the most laudable.

As an aside, what’s the point of Marco selling NTGs for 75 crowns when the Storehouse sells NTGs for 75 crowns?
What’s the benefit of Marco, again?

 

[LordStark263AC]

Troop chests twice a month and sometimes those cheap Stronghold troops for 5 crowns each. That's about it.
