As a streak only faction I personally enjoyed it. Used the same amount of gold as a three day weekend battle but got everything completed in 20hrs and now get the weekend to rest. No complaints from myself.

[M1keperry]

I fell we should have been notified of a 24hr WD our team had barley any participation.
We all thought it was gonna be FA and everyone was saving up cash for units. Please Gree be more transparent about these events before they begin. And what was up with the last 1H?

[Kavoc]

I didn't mind the 24 hour wd, I'm not against them doing it again. The biggest issue I had was asking moderator a question and it being ignored.

[DFI]

You make it sound like either an and or an or. It's both, so regardless of your opinion, you'll get two glitch filled events per cycle going forward

[Morphlingman]

I loved the 24 hr event, and the 30 min wars was a great touch. Made it much more bearable, when u pair up with a faction that spends gold, like it grows from trees on their bases. Great job gree keep it up. I would really like to see this format more often and less of the 3 day WD events.

[Kane Sickle]

"UPSIDE"
- 30 minute battles were okay for keeping folks engaged.
- Caught a lot of factions unprepared (really off guard) and their low participation affected the outcome. The "Up" here (besides helping my faction) is that it had the effect of shaking up the overall results.

"DOWNSIDE"
- The information about this was not widely broadcast; neither the format nor the event start time.
- The "Cease Fire" one hour before ENDEX (vice 30 minutes) was a mistake. A related "Downer" here was the explanation that "we should have known". That was poor form.

"??????"
- Energy Regen bonuses were minimized if not neutralized within the short battles; bad if you have them, but good if your opponents have more of them.
- Having an intermediate WD event in the cycle will affect gold use. It will cause some to split their limited resources, but I'm sure others will just get more gold.

I'll allow this but please keep it constructive and on topic.

Do you even know the meaning of "constructive" and "on topic"? We have always been talking about Modern War. Since when had we gone off topic. As for constructive, good or bad are still feedback. But when you choose to listen to what you like and discard anything that maybe too heavy for you to digest, then what do you want us to say?

If this WD is the main event and for 24hr, I will buy it. Save us 2 days for family time. But when you do this to replace the FA so that you can squeeze everyone to spend more gold...then it is totally ridiculous because of the regen time...in other words, we have to score the same amount of points as 2 days of fighting in one day to be at the top. The lack of regen time means that people either use gold to refill up their energies or having to wait 30-60min before they can go again, so they will not be able to do so many wars.

Then the rewards are recycled from to he last war and bonuses doesn't stag. This further make those gold spenders look like fools chasing for something that they thought they will get but in the end, they don't.

Next time be a bit more specific. If an events gonna be 24 hours, make it 24 hours. I'm sick and tired of wasting my gold on yalls bull*hit. Had full intentions of getting 750 wins and somewhat controlling my indi placement tier that I fell in but because yalls lack communication and your jacked up ways, I spent over 3 vaults of gold to fall short of the 750 wins that was being managed to achieve and ended up with a F ' ING infantry defense boost!!!! Go screw yourselves Gree. You're a joke and im done with you. Turned it in to google today. Put in for a full refund for every dime I've ever spent on this jacked up game and its even worse customer support. Another epic fail on your parts. 2 in a row in fact. My faction also had to completely restart the fltq just days before this crap with the 24 hour event only being 30 minutes. Because 29 hours into the event you decided to go through and reduce all the bosses but NOT until you finished the one you were on. We were spending money left and right, dropping gold bars into the event to get a good start. Had just began 10/10 when you pushed the new change. So we were better off starting over from scratch and taking our loss than continuing on the 235 bosses at 4,782 energy per kill that was required for us to finish before we could move on.

Everyone who had the nightmare of the weekend of gree screwups like many of us did and got royally screwed out of more money and more time due to grees faults and ignorance, I urge you to turn them in to ios or google whichever you go through. They obviously dont give a rats a## how their biggest spenders feel as everyone thats sent tickets all shares the exact same automated responses. Go above their heads. Demand your refunds. Report them to ios or google or the better buisness bureau. Its only getting worse. They dont care how we feel and aren't evwr gonna take responsibility for their faults. If you experienced the crap that I did with grees nonsense then report them and get your money back. Flase advertisement

[branditos333]

An event took place that was advertised as 24 hours long and cost alot of gold and alot of time spent to accomplish the objectives that were put forth. Based on the 24 hours that werw advertised for us to achieve our goals, we strategized and put together a gameplan to accomplish the objectives at hand and with gold, successfully achieve our goals. The event was falsely advertised and therefore was a waste of time and money for many factions and/or individuals that were reaching for the top tier placements, streaks, and 750 wins. False advertisement. A waste of countless amounts of gold bars throughout. Refund demanded!!!!

[2MblaZ]

I actually liked 1-day WD - the weekend is FREE [due to impossible ltq]

BUT - please keep it same 1hr AND WARN everybody that it is going to be officially WD event and how about changing prizes, not keeping same - basically keep your work in order, you're a publicly traded company!!!

[Mcm2013]

Well I guest I have to first start with thanks for letting this your customers express like or dislike, thanks gree. Didn't mind the idea but if gree can't iron out the details before hand they should not introduce anything new. How hard is it to fix the declare clock that f'd over so many, and you can say well you would have been there either way but several wait until the end to place themselves between ind, fact and also wins/streaks. If you can't plan right at least have some one on the whole time to fix on the fly. Or if not higher all of us like you higher sup to test your product for glitches I could use a few vaults to tell you you have no idea what you are doing

[Jdtootell]

Thankyou all for your responses - here is the feedback:
1. War period - 38% 1 day, 36% 2 days, 25% 3 days, 1% over 3 days
2. War length - 5% 20 mins, 39% 30 mins, 50% 1 hour, 6% over 1 hour

So the old 3 day war period not very popular, I've always thought Monday war was a problem when most people are at work or school. Sounds like the customers like the new 1 day or a 2 day war. Looking at the length response though, the vote was kind of split between 30 mins and 1 hour. Perhaps a 2 day length 1 hour war might be appropriate to test out next?

Looking through the specific feedback, I think that a lot have been mentioned already. I'm not going to discuss bugs like not being able to declare in the last hour, here are the ideas related to wd that people had:
- adjust the regen time to match the war length so that people can get in more hits without gold. Others thought of giving more health regen prizes out instead
- positive feedback for the individual reward, although dl can do well without having to participate. No solution to that was provided, I suggest working on your defence stats...
- we want to see our health bar outside of war, don't know when we are full to declare
- more variety on prize bonuses rather than the classic attack/defence ones
- ability to have a joker round where by playing your team or individual joker you get additional health (I would suggest that's what gold is for)
- on the tiered prizes, ability to choose which prize you win out of the one you won or the ones below it
- wars no more than once a month, they are life consuming
- offer ability to buy concrete. There is a black market for it anyway, so why not introduce it in game
- questions over the new points that you get when you attack. Although it used to be weighted towards llp, now it seems unclear what the logic is. Perhaps provide a few hints without giving the game away.

Thanks for your feedback in the survey. I will close it now so that the mods can review the above feedback and provide their thoughts.

[aBigDek]

JD....very good summation and recommendations. I hope the hope the Devs take it constructively.

[Richard79]

I think gree should focus on the games problems and stop all events until they are fixed

[WBS]

I'll allow this but please keep it constructive and on topic.

Why wouldn't you allow a survey to be taken? Woukd you not like feedback of those who are giving you a paycheck?

I personally didng like the 24 he WD for the face that it was a surprise. We need time to plan as a faction as we didnt have as much participation because we thought there was nothing going on. I should say we thought it was an FA in which we wouldn't participate in that failed event. I would like more transparency and notification.

[Jdtootell]

It's just a game, everyone had the same amount of notice. It was perfectly fair...

[Splat!]

24 hours is so much better than 3 days! I got to go out w friends, fix stuff around the house and catch a hockey game with the remainder of my weekend. I enjoyed a 95% reduction in complaints by my wife to quit the game and get a real life:)

1 day is perfect, 2 days is ok. Please end the 3 day WD.

Also, the health bonuses did help! We got to declare with full health 30% more wars than w/o any health bonuses.

[Mcdoc]

I liked it better than the Full Assault that everyone was expecting.

30 minute battles were a nice change of pace - but what's the point of having the last hour locked on a 30 minute event. It seems that one oversight caused the most frustration.

[SiaoNam]

The change of event should be announce in game. Not everyone log in forum to check what is happening.
If certain event was not able to continue due to some reason, then I would prefer it is being announce in-game and /or cancel the event.
Just my 2 cents comments.

[Shrinko]

I'll allow this but please keep it constructive and on topic.

Why do you always ask for constructive feedback? You never listen to anything we have to say, so why does it matter if it's constructive or not? Can you name at least a few suggestions that gree implemented?

[I am a cow!]

1 day WD = GG we win for my team :)

[Bobar]

I'll allow this but please keep it constructive and on topic.

do we have to ask for permission for threads from now on??

[Speed ump]

Do a one day wd every two weeks. Same points, or more than one every three weeks. It dosnt wear people put so much. That constant wd with three full days has already driven many away from the game. Gives more time for gree to run additional events in between also.

[Mw Adam]

I liked it better than the Full Assault that everyone was expecting.

Anything is better than Full Assult

[yoyo1]

full assault rocks, love it!
