University Research

[Ravenlord]

Then they'd never get any research done .....

You millennials make my mornings, make my coffee sweeter, and always good for a early morning laugh. Welcome to the real world, there is no second place winner in War you were "Defeated". No trophy for you, second place is losing! Maybe you should just give up and quit now! Nexon is here to make money off the spenders period and keep them interested in the game. Maxed out accounts are not necessarily cheaters, yes those who have extra money will spend thousand of dollars on this game. That is what the University does! I cannot wait to read all the whining and crying in the forum from players with the releases of the new ages and research to come. Yes there are many thing that need to be addressed in game play. Nexon those greedy capitalist how dare they make money off the game. The new upgrades will take a month or more, just think of the resources that you will need. The University was a great addition to the game imo. You are able to upgrade tactics and buildings without going to the next era. It has been a great discouragement against the lazy players using demolition coming in taking out the Mortars. You actually need to have a functioning strategy now to attack and be a winner!

Geez old man - you make Eddie and l sound like Tupperware party hosts!!

A lot of us - if you've read previous posts - are pro Uni (myself included) so Nexon making money has never been the issue. The issue is the unbalance between gameplay and game flow - and right now with fewer workers 'by comparison' the game doesn't flow. But as l said, it's a balance issue - and we all know Nexon has balance issues .....

So then, you're one of those players who likes a challenge, like having four accounts & playing for over 16 months??!

No Raven, that's not a challenge as much as an obsession I'd say. I have been playing since April 2015 and have ONE account. I've read the forums for a long time and frankly am tired of the bitching and moaning among u guys. One day it's "offense is OP I can five star any war base blindfolded", the next it's "the university research is making the game too hard." The only consistency I find is negativity.

The problem is that both complaints are not always being said by the same group of people. The group of players at the top of the glory system say that a lot of wars end up being 5 star across the board wars, as is true, everything but the kitchen sink attacks pretty much crush any defense no matter how much time, research, or investment was put into it. The university has potential to change that factor, but people won't know until years later. As for the people that do pay out, that doesn't mean they're always playing in the top alliances, and most people that do normal matchmaking raids aren't going to be investing every outlet of attack and tactics to destroy a base. So in the end you've got another group of players complaining that the university upgrades that give defensive buildings a bit more of a defensive advantage in wars are now also making normal matchmaking raids a huge pain. Which is also true, the university buffs penchant for hiding critical information that could make or break a raid is impactful. These two groups are not the same. The root of the problem in the end seems to be Nexon's way of trying to handle war balance through the university, and the complaints of groups on both the war/glory side, and the matchmaking/medal side.

 

[Ravenlord]

So you're complaining about the complaints???

I actually agree with you that there are too many complaints. What a lot of us try to do is offer constructive criticism regardless of whether or not it's heeded. I guess some people can't discern the difference.

Welcome to the real world

Sheeeeeeeeet i really thought this was a game


Yeah, it's true, many of us are here to complain about things in the game that we don't like. It's the point of the forum i think, i didn't come here to make friends or just tell people how good i am at the game. For that there's the real world! And maybe the fact that we are here shows that we are dedicated players..i wouldn't be here if i wasn't

 

[Norcaltone]

JMoney and Wendy u guys are right now that I think about it there are separate groups complaining about opposite issues, and Eddie just complains about everything. The university of course is a carrot for those with the cash to spend on a mobile game and those that pay to win deserve that...I'm just saying with some focus and dedication "normal" guys can achieve these upgrades, it will just take time. For those of us that have been playing well over a year we realize that this game is a marathon and always changing that's part of the fun of course.

Complaining? Moi? Critical Analysis please

I'm all for a difficult game that takes skill and practice and don't care if it takes forever - a bit like boxing or judo, as you get better, your opponents get tougher, you win, you lose. This is turning into a lopsided 'let's hit each other round the head with hammers', first one to land a lucky hit, wins. Hence we get easy 5* wins or get smashed to pieces.

Very good comment. Exactly my thoughts.

Yes, but thats DomiNations. You place one tactic on the wrong place or wrong time, and instead of easy 5 star, its a 2star. Thats what I love about this game. Thats why those tough wins are so awesome, so enjoyable. And thats why you have to do an analysis after a missed hit.

Keep calm and research Uni

I have no complain for people spending money on the game! I spent some my self and everytime i suggest the game to a friend of mine i start saying that the game actually costs 30 euros ( the two starter packs).
I've been playing for almost a year, and in the last 6 months i've quit every other game( including PS4) because i love dominations, it reminds me of Age of Empires, one of my favourite ever and i realized i'm quite (very actually) good at it.
And my complain about the university is not about the time or the workers ( even if 3/4/5 workers for uni are a lot, compared to the 16 you can have)
I just think the university has given a great advantage to cheaters too, and that i find not acceptable for a game i spent more than 100 euros on.
I came here to complain about stackers first, and then i found a nice comunity to share thoughts about the game i love, sometimes complaints, sometime suggestions.

You're having a Tupperware party? You didn't invite me

Hi @Eddie_f1 *waves*

 

[Brand Marrow]

I am enjoying this discourse on evolution. But you are all on the wrong track. Clearly evolution is leading to the gradual loss of arse cheeks and holes, so that people can more efficiently excrete their waste, both physical and mental, through the same orifice, their mouths. As evidenced by certain political figures and forumgoers...(present company included, lol).

 

[ccfoo]

I start to appreciate how it cost workers because Uni research is OP for time invested. I think they just need to make Uni count towards XP, solves the complaints here. I'm not even sure whether is that a bug or not in the first place, while the worker issue got solved, the xp was neglected since it doesn't affect sales. It doesn't justify how everything counts towards XP except Uni research. This won't make the game easier in any way, as you still got to hit that base during war as the weightage doesn't change. But you do get an indication now how strong that base actually is, isn't that why we have levels in the first place?

 

[GailWho]

Brand Marrow ..... One word.... Eww!

 

[MartinK12]

It is one thing when u misplace a tactic and the other if your well place tactic is a rubbish because mortar level 6 is more like mortar level 10
So don't put those two things in the same bag

 

[MartinK12]

Seriously, with that amount of bugs (you know the list) and unbalanced things (nations, wars, paying players vs non-paying players), it is hard not to complaint And things in the game change so complaints change.

It also doesn't matter if some complaints are just complaints and some are constructive criticism. They all mean that there's something wrong...
