Poll, the WD event is much too long, it wears us out. What would be best lenghth?

[Ferr]

The thread says it all. Assuming all works as it should work a five day intense competition is not what most players want.

[Tournai]

agree this is not doable, it only works when you have world wide members in your faction, that are online in big numbers!

[VileDoom]

One day would be plenty at this point. Maybe it's running longer this first time as an alpha test. Lol

[Dutchie]

48 or 72 max! 5 days is bloody ridiculous for such an intensive event!

[Alaska Ken]

1 day per month, 24 hours.

[commander Don]

Five days is far too draining, its way to intense. . ill be getting out the tent pegs soon enough

[Jhenry02]

I like noon Friday to midnight sunday. 60 hours.

Once a month or so.

[Dutchie]

Which masochist voted for 5 days!

[General Soviet]

2 days would be best. Most people have work or school, and aren't able to participate as much on weekdays.

[Alpha dog]

I say 4/5 days, sorry Ferr, because it means the guys that don't use much gold can have a bit of a shot at upping their points. If the way over the top gold spenders want to push that gold all the way then fine, they have paid for their units.
I on the other hand get to spend a few £££'s and enjoy the action. We come were we come, and we get as many battles in during that time as we can.

It would be better if there weren't so many glitches, Still no battle ranking for our members :(, and crazy match ups, but hey we cant win them all. Twice we have come up against SuperFaction and that doesn't do us much good. Same as most I suspect.

[Sugarymama]

24 hours is more than enough for me. I'm sick of it already (I will voice why in another thread)

[Hero of Time]

3 days is a good amount of time.

[(CoC) Goblin]

3 days is a good amount of time.


You should come play Clash of Clans little Clause. What say you?

[Sillybeans]

3days, the 1st-3rd of each month sounds good.

[Jacko99]

48 hours. 5 days, covering half working week is not really considering your paying consumer market is it. It was originally touted as 3 days... Bad, customer-upsetting decision.

End this early and spend the extra time on resolving the issues... Yawn.

[NakedCherryPie]

The longer it is, the more money they get from you. Why would they shorten it when they are running a successful business? As long as you have absolutely no control over yourself, you should stop complaining! You need to make them change, otherwise they will continue to take advantage of your weakness.

YOU HAVE TO CONTROL YOURSELVES, DON'T LEAVE IT UP TO THEM!!

Heck why don't GREE make it 14 days long then if it is a real money spinner for them!

[PIRATE JUSTICE]

24 hours is enough.

At 24 hours, you could do this one day each week!

Each contest should last NO more than 15 minutes!!!

[Warfiend]

72 hours sounds right. Maybe that's just because I was primed to think about it in terms of 72 hours for a month in advance, but that's what sounds right.

[NakedCherryPie]

24 hours is enough.

At 24 hours, you could do this one day each week!

Each contest should last NO more than 15 minutes!!!I like the sound of this. After each 15 minute battle, each member could get a refill in health. It's much easier to tap the screen for 15 minutes than a complete hour. Then again, what am I talking about? That would not make as much money.

[I am a cow]

24 hours is enough.

Great idea hear that GREE?

[vorm]

I agree, event is way too long. Needs to just run Friday to Sunday like the PvP Tournaments did, and only be once a month. It is already getting grueling on us, and no way we can keep up this intensity during the work week.

[Bob_55]

24 or 48 hours

[Elastic Earl]

Battles can be decided much quicker. At least cut them in half.

[CJ54]

Hey Ferr, thanks for making this poll, this is good feedback. And thanks everyone for the explanatory feedback in the posts, I'll make sure that it gets back to the developers.

[LeBarticus]

Why did the top 10,000 unit get nerfed?

[CJ54]

Why did the top 10,000 unit get nerfed?

You mean why is it not there in the game anymore?

[Dr. Dengus]

You mean why is it not there in the game anymore?

Just noticed that too, was it removed on purpose?

[Ryans67]

Probably less then 5,000 active factions...I've seen repeats a ton, probably fought the same factions 3-4 times each. One faction had 0 points in the entire event. How is that possible?

[LeBarticus]

Yeah it is no longer in the rewards section under WD. Just wondering if there wasn't enough competition back there?


Maybe since theres been so much gold spending it could have just been upped to the 5000 prize and the 5000 prize could be 2500 or something lol ;)

[Dr. Dengus]

Even if there aren't 10,000 factions it should just be a, hey thanks for being cool cats and participating in our first WD event, prize.

[1brent1]

Way too long. Hard to get everyone on board with battling at the same time for so many days straight.

Knowing your going to have some kind of problems with this first Battle Event you guys should of locked out the gold. This way you don't have so many upset paying members and charge backs. I've spent hundreds so far for event and have been having nothing but problems. Wasting tons of gold on unbeatable defense leaders is just one of them. Or not getting credited for points.

[dads]

4/5 days was a misclick

My vote is 72 hrs

[bonerepairs]

A weekly 24 hrs event is a really valid option

[nic4msu]

A weekly 24 hrs event is a really valid option

I think bi-weekly would allow enough time for re-building & faction changes, while still keeping it moving. I like this, though.

[MCADAM]

Gree stealing money from people.

All those paying for gold and having their wd points lost are losing out, whilst gree still keep the money.

Why pay for results to have them taken from you!

Gree you are thiefs!!!!

["T"]

One day is enough IMO. Two days tops.

[Yossarian]

48 hrs max. At the weekend as lots of people work. Once a month so participants and factions have time to rebuild and recover. I also like PJ's idea.

[Baraka]

It's Defo too long. But you know why it was extended. It was to make Gree some money. 2 extra days is two more gold sale days. Leaderboard is stuck. This is no accident it's so you don't know where you are then you will be forced to keep spending gold.

Money... Money... Money... That's Gree'd

[Dutchie]

Some of these 'glitches' such as the leaderboard glitch are highly suspicious and will only anger more people. Expect some serious flack CJ54 because really there are no excuses and it is just tarnishing the company with an even worse reputation that will not be easily won back!

[dj maj]

Baraka i completely agree because i would have done that if i was hungry for money

[Opinvu]

I voted 48. Weekends are always better.
But the length of each battle only being an hour seems too short. With only 5% Hp regen you only get 1 full life bar and maybe 2 more attacks after that. It screams gold usage wins the event. No, it guarantees gold usage wins the event.

[Elastic Earl]

Shorter battles, shorter event, more attacks for 25 gold spend. Maybe allow attacks at 25% of your stamina and energy. They are useless in the event right now. I dont know the exact solution but this needs to be altered from current format.
25 gold= 4 attacks = silly

Not only that, but it leads to intra-event boredom as well. Constantly waiting to attack where if it was stamina-based you would get 20/30/40 attacks in a fight (at least).

[Agent Orange]

Well this plus the fact they will probably do some sort of new money grubbing event right after this one fails er I mean ends.......

[Elastic Earl]

Yeah I will not be participating in whatever it is. Blew all my gold for the next 10 events probably. Silliness.

[Elastic Earl]

Does anyone think having players use stamina for the WD event and charge for gold for refills instead of the current 4 hit system with 25 gold refill is a good idea?

[nic4msu]

Does anyone think having players use stamina for the WD event and charge for gold for refills instead of the current 4 hit system with 25 gold refill is a good idea?
YES! Or increase the number of hits you get with health. 4, plus 2 a long wait later is just tedious & boring.

[Wufnu]

YES! Or increase the number of hits you get with health. 4, plus 2 a long wait later is just tedious & boring.

I thought the first battle this must be some kind of bug it was so ridiculous. And there was NOTHING, ANYWHERE, stating that we would be using health and not stamina to do battle. Or did I miss something?

I can get 6 hits in during an hour if I start battling right at the bell. It really reminds me of the carnival games we used to play as kids. Spend a fortune for a cheap prize you could go to WalMart and just buy for a tenth of the price you paid to "win" the prize.

That being said, it was fun but we really need to rework the battle system.

[Thief]

Does anyone think having players use stamina for the WD event and charge for gold for refills instead of the current 4 hit system with 25 gold refill is a good idea?

YES! I've been trying to participate 18 hours a day in this event. 6-7 hits every War is VERY Boring and makes me feel like i have little influence putting in that much time. Yes i have my Faction to chat with which is great....but man is it difficult. It's more exciting hitting the boss 13 times in 2 hours. Think about that? Consider making Stamina a part of the event and NOT health. Make it more difficult to take down the fort....but allow the players that actually have stamina to do something with it!!!

BTW 48 hours 1 time a month is what the event should be.

[whiskeybravo]

Hey Ferr, thanks for making this poll, this is good feedback. And thanks everyone for the explanatory feedback in the posts, I'll make sure that it gets back to the developers.


Please do. 5 days is way to long and makes for a very boring and tedious event. Especially when not spending gold as you only get 6 hits in the hour which is rediculous(an hour wasted to get 6 hits sucks). I understand that additional time and only getting 6 free hits was an intentional money making scheme but seriously it's a little much.


48 hours once a month is my suggestion as well. Good idea Theif. Maybe use stamina for the fort at least?


My two cents though.

[Warfiend]

I'd like to change my vote. I voted a bit early in the event. After all this stuff, I think 48 hours is better than 72.

I don't even want to talk about how many favors I've had to do my wife. And it's really REALLY hard to be there for my faction while getting work done. I'm pulling it off, but geeze. And as a free player, it is exceptionally important for me to be there for my faction as much as possible, just because of how severely they've limited the contributions possible of free players.

So 48 hours and no business days is my vote if I could change it. Plus if it had ended in 48 hours, I wouldn't have found out the hard way that one of the factions I respect has cheaters in it. Scratch that, one of the factions I used to respect. Bunch of disgraceful beggars in my eyes now.

[Paulio]

I vote 48 hrs. This 5 day event is waaaaay too long. Not even fun anymore. If we have another this long I'm not spending any gold on it.

[Tctiger]

48 or 72 hours max , and why must we purchase our points ?

[Crypt]

i think the 5 day event has worked well this time around as it has given us all time to fully embed our drill plan and has given us real insight into the members playing patterns. The training has served us well as we can now the players that are truly out for the success of the nuGambino's 308289756 top 100 and intend on staying there! (plug!)

However I completely aGreed with the op comments, this is draining man ! its affecting my sleep not to mention work and all the other things that require my attention for longer than 30 mins !

[King little fruit fly]

No more than 1 event per 2 month for 24 or 48 hours on the weekend starts on Saturday 9am Pacific Time. :)

6 of this event per year is enough, guys! We don't want to age quickly, we still want to tender our wives when we are 90 year young! :o

[Mossy21]

It should be over 2 weekends. Start Friday end Sunday then allow the DL to make changes to the faction.

[Xela]

What about a 24 hour event every 7 days with 15 min battles and 10 hits for 20 gold?

[Xela]

Oh yeah...and make sure all time zones can play on the weekend. I live in australia and this event is going to finish at 6.00 am on Thursday. BLOODY ridiculous!!

[Clownius]

48hrs is my vote maybe once a month. Gives factions time to restock and plan. Train up some fresh members etc.

Just way too long here.

Xela, I have been to Gold Coast, Aussie a few times, it is a beautiful town, which part of Gold Coast you are?

Burleigh Heads and Tallebudgera Valley, where did you stay?

[liuselwyn]

A WD event played for more than 48 hours will be tiresome.

[Grand Overlord]

72 hours - that way it can span the weekend in every timezone.

[iamnasty]

Burleigh Heads and Tallebudgera Valley, where did you stay?

in a motel
