what's your vision of the rebalance?

[shukra]

dev team notices an imbalance, and corrects the game (however they did it).

either ignorant or well-informed of course, the resulting attachment dilemna may be disaster.

i think the rebalance was well-calculated but shaking the tree like this exposed myriad compounded problems and people blame the rebalance.

 

[Mat 3 BloodyBarons]

Until now was able to manage Rebalance by changing troops setup. My main concern is training time for tactics and planes, that is a real limitation of my number of attacks per day.
a time reduction of 50% will be acceptable for these 2 items. Or I should change my UN to pentagon but no effect on Tactics

 

[pckrn]

ignorant in procedure, but better overall in results

 

[No Angel]

I don't like the process. Wish they had done it all at once. I don't really mind buffing here and nerfing there thing, I just don't think it's effective and efficient to make it through several stages.
So I'm just waiting until it's done.
Then I can play normally.
Oh you know what, I just wish I never knew there was rebalance in progress

​​​Next time if you guys prepare for rebalances, announce it once and do it once.

 

[oddin]

can't agree more. It would be better if they released all changes in one go.

 

[Persia]

My best suggestion for this rebalance is to completely revert it and rebalance the game by leaving it as it was. What a bunch of moronic changes, seriously.

 

[yemen]

Roll back all the changes. Make all wars 0TT, no troop cards allowed at all. Watch the complete lack of perfect scores from evenly matched teams accomplish everything you set out to do without destroying multiplayer.

Oh wait, that won't happen, because theses changes are all about selling troop cards. And you can't sell what people don't need.

 

[Quagmire]

It would have been useful if they came out & said: We are buffing the defending Village buildings, to encourage you to upgrade your own offensive troops, especially the specialist Factory troops. These will become more necessary in future Ages. We may even improve the despised MRL to make it useful. The next Age is a few months away, so use this time to prepare yourselves. But there have been no Twitch.tv presentations or State of the Nations (remember those each month on YouTube?) to explain their Vision for the future of this game.

Currently everyone seems to be converging on German nation, Brandenberg Gate Wonder (22% extra dps to factory troops), HT army setup with Uni research maxed. No more strategy. Just fire & forget your Mk7's until they have cleaned up the opposing base.

 

[No Angel]

Wisest response so far

 

[Vixen]

still on the fence till rebalance finishes

 

[Alexey]

The finish is quite obvious - increased hp to walls/gates and increased wall miner damage.

 

[unhappy]

So many other ways it could have been done.

Walls need a buff? how about a new wall level!

Defences too weak? how about new defence levels and adding new defensive levels to lower ages.

DO NOT give us new factory troop levels then 3 weeks later nerf and buff as you see fit so that the new troop level is less effective than the old one. What was the point of that other than to get players to spend money on crowns to finish the new levels? They must have known the rebalance was coming so why else bother with new levels unless you want the money from crowns, as they served no other purpose i am struggling to come up with a better reason as to why it was done.

Give us content and something to do. This is lazy and a cash grab. Short term profit, no long term vision. I doubt there is ever going to be a Space Age.

 

[yemen]

Yes, having APCs get an extra level right before kicking them to the wastebin (by nerfing the infantry they drop) was a little ridiculous.

 

[Alexey]

So after seeing 20-30 war replays the situation is this:
people still use decoys
people still use British shooters
people still use sandbags
As for me personally, I finally stopped using light tanks. They have completely moved into “raiders” category and are absolutely useless in full attacks against high level bases.
In general - company is trying to lower their game support spendings by moving the focus to the low-level ages and stopping high levels.

 

[shukra]

i do see the objection more clearly now; it wasn't as obvious to me before.

i can now 5* bases about level 190 atomic and below, and it's a challenge. resource raiders are more required than optional for my strategy.

perhaps this exposes a flaw in the design .. this isn't GO or some beautifully orthogonal scenario.
they have multiple design requirements; perhaps the increasing complexity created a catch-22 and this is the result.

 

[Funken_A]

it sucks. I rarely bother playing now

 

[No Angel]

shukra probably should provide a couple more options lol I would choose: well calculated but poorly marketed/implemented(since they haven't responded to some questions about new unit stats) also that they shouldn't have designed it to 5 stages?!

 

[shukra]

i was trying to create a legitimate framing of the issue, to fairly categorize it.
i view the lack of interaction as evidence that there really is a mistake in play.
