Bug Fixes and Improvements
Minor art fixes
Minor text edits

 

[Scuba]

Anyone else think this will kill the game off in a few months?

 

[Theoneandonly]

No big deal BHG, too much hot air in advance, not worth to speed up or crown anything.

 

[BeerMan]

The spy thing will just lead to everybody reporting each other for having museums that are "too good." And why nerf AR even further?

 

[bred2bbroken]

Well, we got an additional house. Now I can have as many as Bernie Sanders!!!

It'd be nice to see a Barracks upgrade to get more troops though. Haven't got any since Atomic Age. I suppose the extra defenses are going to make this tough to hit bases now, especially with Atomic ot of the question. So yeah, why nerf AR even more? Smh.

Bulls*#t update.

Assault Rally nefr - unnecessary.
Heavy Tank hitpoints - unnecessary.
New General capstone - unnecessary (more Defenders).
Bastion buff - unnecessary.
Minor art fixes - laughably unnecessary.


No word on Bastion glitch when creating a new layout. Nothing on level 3 alliance perk, which been missing for about half a year now.
Nothing on Crash bases.
Matchmaking is still far from perfect.


I wonder when all those bugs will be fixed. Probably never, the way you guys release updates without actually fixing anything.

 

[Theoneandonly]

Even if I say it twice: again we have no time schedule on the update, again wars will be crash due to early bugs, again no one can plan anything.

And only cause a couple of overestimating themselves developers and community managers are thinking they are doing a great job and working hard.

 

[Dracula3811]

What are you going to change the Sally Ride AR speed increase to since you’re removing that function? Will cwa be able to attack DA?

 

[Wicked Lord]

Interesting question

 

[sponge]

So now it's clear what that VIP access was for. Yet another money grab scheme, this game start to resemble Mobile Strike and clones now, more sales crap on screen than actual game. Actually this game is worse, Mobile Strike at least had functioning chat.

 

[Chadwicke]

You don't play the game that is clear without assult rally as it is zhuklov is not possible to kill you have now killed the game , great work BHG_Muet your a fool .

 

[Theoneandonly]

You can kill Zhukov with HT also, but all other things you said I agree.

 

[Chadwicke]

They don't pay the game they aren't aware of this like this , how you expect muet to know what is in Sally ride . Heads buried in what he believes to be sand.likey a part of his own anatomy though

 

[Wicked Lord]

Me thoughts on DA

New trap, new Gen - Nice
another house - Nice
New university leader - Nice, especialy the spy funktion. Something the communtity asked very long for.
New plane - in general nice, time will show whether this plane fits into the game
VIP-Bonuses - not sure, nice if it rewards players for playing. If you have to buy it every week/month/... bad
Bastion changes - nice, they were too strong in my opinion
AR changes - quite unnecessary, I dont think I will use it anymore
HT changes - not sure they were necessary but I´ll take it

All in all I´m quite happy with it.
But still it is too early to release a new age. For me it will take at minimum a year to reach DA. There were no need too release it that early at least from players side. Especially as you (Muet) said you will slow down the age releases.

TinSoldier could you tell us with which age the new uni leader is beginning?

 

[Theoneandonly]

From a economic point of view it is logical. They are killing many options to get QV, therefore people have motivation to increase QV time. A few marketing and sales people may think this is an reason for everybody to buy that weird priced Leonardo bust. Well, they have lost their minds, but who cares about. I am sure there are many institutions for mental health in the Maryland area.

 

[Quagmire]

Why has Pete Herrera been made a General (MisterLaxx)? What about other YouTubers? https://youtu.be/B3ooRoVKJ-0

 

[BHG_Muet]

Sally Ride increases the movement speed of troops under the effects of AR. So her skill shouldn't be impacted by the removal of the attack speed buff that Assault Rally was providing.

 

[BHG_Muet]

Quick update on the Bastion change. This change is intended to be a lateral adjustment that aims to address some of the frustrations around the increasing slow radius Bastions previously had. In order to standardize their slow radius at the higher levels we had to give a little back in order for the change to not be an outright nerf.

 

[Chadwicke]

Doesn't change that you can't kill zhuklov now

 

[Chadwicke]

What a stupid joke this is they need a place on forum to sell our maxed accounts some noob who doesn't understand the game would pay good money
