War sign turned red, the Battle for Blighted Woods is starting...

[Silent follower]

Have noticed that the war sign turned red after th Succubus LTQ finished about thirty minutes ago. I think this implies that the next war starts on Friday...

[Sgt Maj]

That is awfully quick.

[Dexter Morgan]

Get your checkbooks out everybody

[Spydrax]

Everything would look to line up for Friday; I agree.

[VileDoom]

Was it just 2.5 weeks ago we finished the first event?

[itsaklayton]

Way too soon IMO. Not financially ready for this early a start. Question: I seem to remember reading when the Crusades were first announced that you battle once a month. I do not play Gree's other games. Is this an incorrect statement? Do CC/MW battle bi-monthly?

[Baela3]

Last time they announced the start date a week in advance. No announcement this time. I really hope it isn't this weekend. Many Europeans are on holiday this weekend!

@Baela3 - just curious, what's the European holiday this weekend?

They have varried from 2 weeks to 24 days. Was going to be monthly but Gree realised by having them more often they would make more money. People always say by having them this often people will spend less but when it is all said and done the scores have increased every single event so people are spending more.

So does this mean that the "Coming soon" will change to the war start in 2 hours. This should give us plenty of time to get ready. Loll

[iteachem]

In cc we just finished today and next one shows 17 days

[Maestro]

The CC event was last weekend and the MW event is 2 Fridays away. With KA this weekend they may be staggering the. 1 every weekend. Personally I liked MW and KA on the same weekend but I'm free on KA.

[Mr T Perfect]

looks like this friday it wil be - 3 days for the current ltq to finish and battle starting the following day.

[emcee]

2 at the same time is better than one every weekend. Since you are playing might as well pay both.

[procsyzarc]

Never really understood why people think it is hard to play 2 at once. I was in top 5 factions in both games and found it a lot better having them both in the same weekend.

Doing free hits is just a case of turning on the game every hour or so to use HP, one game or two doesn't really make much diffrence, it is a lot less work overall doing 2 at once rather than one every weekend.
For gem/gold hits you can use 10k gems in a hour so it is just a case of finding a good target when you have a hour spare and using what ever your budget is, not too many would use more than 10k in mutiple games but if you are then it will just be another few hours.

Maybe if you are the leader of a faction in both games and don't trust people and do everything yourself it might be too much but then that is your problem.

This game is quickly becoming old for me, sadly. Every game enhancement and every event is directly motivated to squeeze money out of the paying customers pocket. Many members of Spectral Agony, myself included, spent our fair share of money on the first event. A first event that lasted 2 days too long and ended a mere 2 weeks ago...

Months of patiently building your base and strengthening your army can be eclipsed by someone completing 2 or 3 LTQ's. A free player becomes buried by gem users while paying users spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on pixels they don't even own.

GREE's hacker policy is laughable at best. Even when presented with irrefutable evidence of hacking nothing is done. It's sad that guilds like mine and a few others put more time, thought and consideration towards upholding GREE's policies than GREE itself... But then again, why would GREE enforce their policies when hackers drive legit paying customers to spend more money in an attempt to beat them.

GREE has placed this game on the fast track to death. Rinse and repeat.

Yup. I spent months building my economy to where I shouldn't be able to be beat, but I stayed away from the LTQ's because I didn't want to level. Then those who were doing the LTQ's caught up and passed me fast. Now it's very easy to get a 3-400 att. / 3-400 def unit, which is 3 dragons and they ain't easy to get. You have to either change your strategy to include doing the LTQ's or you will be blown by. At the end of the day though, it is just a free game.

[sparckle]

Too much stat inflation makes it costly to have competitive stats. The fun will wear off quickly when people realise Gree is just selling stats. No innovation whatsoever. Just more ways to buy stats.

[EiZ]

guess we going to war with unit-bonuses from the last war not showing in stats but stated from gree working, lots of ppl gonna lose points not knowing their opponent have higer stats! looking forward for the war so i dont really mind, but still think gree should make the units work properly before starting another one!

Well said Vile, that's my thought too 😉

@Baela3 - just curious, what's the European holiday this weekend?

No national holiday, just vacation holiday. It is the first time of good beach weather for much of the popular European destinations. Many go to beach in Portugal, Spain, along Mediterrean, etc., at this time of year. Next major national holidays are at end of this month.

Im sitting this one out... Havent gotten my bonus gems.

Panic stations in GREE.
Management revising quarterly financial projections.
EGM being demanded by unhappy shareholders.
LOL :D

[Valid or]

The bar on the progress is at about 50%,and there hasn't been a box event yet in these chains. I am going to guess that there will be a box event added to that list today or tomorrow. The wars should follow that. I do believe they added a event the last time too to that list. Maybe it can't display all they are going to run?
