Next 3 Day war only 10 days away???

[GetItFixed]

Gree, you better confirm thats not right, only 10 days until nxt 3 day war? Thats pretty much way over the top.

[VileDoom]

Bahahaha! The money must be ripe in KA.

[The red Baron]

I will be in holiday, a 3 day war in 10 days i hope a lot will play free or not even participate,

[RandomUser]

I will be in holiday, a 3 day war in 10 days i hope a lot will play free or not even participate,

Might as well ask people with gambling problems to boycott a casino.

[The red Baron]

A boycott does not work, but may be if enough calm down, GREE will feel it.
Hope it is an error.

A comment out of our chat:
"I can just about get away with war weekends but it isn't fair on my family. If they increase them I will quit game"

[Jnsolberg]

Tadaaah, can you verify the war in 10 days? If it's a 24 hour war, then we are on the same schedule as last time. If it's a 3 day war, you will be forcing more people from the game.
Actually, I found the 24 hour war more stressful than the 3 day war. So maybe we would be better off with a 3 day war. Lol
Either way, please give us some clarification.

[KarenWill]

My time to leave KA is coming soon...

[Dogs Pizza]

my guess is they are trying to get us off the same weekend as the mw wars. but 2 weeks between wars is not cool at all

[AvatarTBS]

No. Not happening. Nope nope nope.

[Tadaaah]

Hello,

Apologies for the short break. There were some adjustments made to this cycle to help us get back on track and back on the normal schedule. We should be able to get back on to the regular scheduling soon.

[[DW] maretzky]

So just skip this war at all. All will be happy

[AvatarTBS]

Please, please ask the developers to rethink this. I understand the schedules with Kingdom Age and Modern Warfare got mixed, but NO ONE wants this war. It's too much, too soon...especially after both the 24-hour and regular war were just part of the same cycle. Push it back two weeks. Push it back three. Do another event, ANYTHING but another war in 10 days. It is going to really hurt the game, and our guilds. It disrupts the flow of everything, including locking things down so we can't recruit new players or accept players with new accounts.

I love a wide variety of events, keep being creative and keep them coming. But DO NOT DO THIS. Please. It will fatigue even your biggest fans and addicts. Do a new (FAIR) quest for weapons and armor. Explore new community events. But not another war. We do not want it. We do not need it. We WILL NOT PLAY IT. It will just be a 3 day disruption of the fun parts of this game we enjoy.

I know this was not your decision, Tadaah. You are not a programmer or developer. You are a community manager. Please let Gree know your community adamantly does NOT want any part of this, that we're open to suggestions, and contrary to belief can and will call for a boycott of this war if need be. We are not a bunch of weak-willed addicts. We are gamers. We are people. And we are smart enough and strong enough to say "no" when we really do not agree with something. Gree has time to change this. Please pass on the message that if they do not, it will have a negative effect on the game, the players, and the continuing influx of money.

I'm not shooting the messenger, Tadaah. You seem like a good person who cares and does their best with a non-ideal situation. But Gree needs to be told that the players do not want this and to please find a situation we can at least compromise on. Thank you.

OMG I so called it

[Capitalsfanatic]

A bit much so soon after a cycle that included a 24-hour war and a 3-day war. Our guild officers will discuss tonight. I think our guild is going to sit this one out. I'm having a hard time with the "schedule" angle. Sounds more like profit margin to me. After all, it is the 3rd quarter of 2014. A regrettable decision by Gree, but the best way for our guild to handle it is to just sit this one out.

[Lys]

You're not the only one. A lot of us in Dragon Warriors are already discussing what we'll do (or not do). I think a TON of guilds are going to cut back, or just not spend at all.

Downright ridiculous.

[Just4fun]

War generates the most money so of course Gree is going to keep pushing this. They are going to recoup all the lost money from the hacker war by doing this to us. No new ideas and no creativity. Sad just sad

[GetItFixed]

Gree you got off regular schedule by doing a 24 h war on last cycle amd expanding the time between regular wars from 3 to 4 weeks. Amd now you are punishing the players for things you messed up in first place???

[Jomama1]

I will have people quit. If you need to make adjustments add more time not less. You have lost your minds.

[Jomama1]

3 day wars are a huge time commitment and hurt peoples real lives and families. I cant believe this is even being considered.

[Valid or]

we do have a choice as how much to play.
If the bank says one can't buy gems...oh well then don't buy them(I will be in that boat). If you have plans with friends and family..go do them. Play when you can..
I have a feeling this war will be down a lot on participation in General.

[GetItFixed]

I have a feeling it won t :rolleyes:

Hi Tadaaah:

It's me again wearing my hat as spokesperson for the founders group.

We are discussing completely skipping that 3 day war. I'm sure that there will be some guilds that participate in war, but I'm equally certain that it will be a much less lucrative war as people won't likely need to spend gems to win if most (if not all) of the big boys and girls refuse to play.

Kindly reconsider the scheduling - this game is bleeding people and a full blown war in 10 days will definitely be the last straw for a lot of players.

My guild mates and I will not be participating in this upcoming war as well. Our guild families will also not be participating. Thank you. TC

[grantsmith1]

Tadaaah
You really need to go back to the KA team and request a change on this, a three day war within such a short time scale is truly ridiculous, I`m speaking from a privileged position and know how lucky I am to be able to play this game in RK1 I can afford (just) to pay the price of the ever increasing number of events. but even at the top level there is ZERO support for this war. This gives no consideration at all to all the players out there who use what little cash they can spare to support this game I have not heard a single supporting voice for this war from players of any rank ...all I am hearing is from players saying this is the final straw and that they will quit if this three day war goes ahead, and others who will just not participate at all.. The founders group has for some time now been campaigning to get wars reduced to once per calendar month as opposed to the current three week schedule and your answer is to REDUCE the time between wars ????????????
You guys a truly going to kill this game

[Valid or]

They need to adjust the weekend war runs on, it's not unpresidented. Maybe after there might be longer times between wars, we don't know what they are planing for a schedule.
Maybe they will give us more info, it might work out in the long run better for all.
I say treat this war for what it is, partake or don't. They have not said every 2weeks will be the new schedule. They just said it had to be moved.

[Lord Vyper]

Same here... I think our guild will skip the war. We are not to blame for grees change in shedule. Of course you can slow down a war but most officers can not... Even worse, if the member slow down it will be even harder for the leading officers. So please Gree think about that again, give us a headsup and a 4 week break til the next war - and please confirm this soon as we all have real lifes and have to make plans.

[VileDoom]

Get in line sheep, your GREEdy master commands you.

[Midget Racer]

3 day wars are tough enough to accommodate in a normal persons life. Every two weeks is ridiculous. Once a month is much more reasonable. Sometimes I think the goal here us to drive people away from the game. The one thing Gree has been successful at lately.

[Valkyrja]

Basically we are asking each other for world peace in this virtual world...
Is it possible?

[VileDoom]

Basically we are asking each other for world peace in this virtual world...

No. It's been tried before.

[Krayt]

No. It's been tried before.

Even if people agree before hand, once it hits people will revert back to what they always do.

[The red Baron]

A fair compromise could be an othe 1 day war. 3 days after 10 days is a no go for me and a lot of my guild mates

[G2y]

Gree better start working in accordance with their customers .... Ever consider why loosing so many?!!!

[Lionelstokie]

Samurai Blood V has many players with burnout issues. We are a group of friends, many of us play modern war and crime city together. Last weekend was bad enough full on war in KA and MW as well as a 24 hr war in CC. Gree listen to the players who try to enjoy your games but you're making it harder with these ridiculous demands. These 24hr wars are ridiculous also, what was wrong with war once a month on each format of the game? You're driving players away and me personally am running out of ideas and motivation to keep my groups together. I really hope you can resolve these issues quickly before myself and others are forced to quit something we love doing and playing . I'm not the biggest gem spender on the game nor would I claim to be and neither is anybody in my group but we do have gem spenders including myself your demands are going beyond most players financial capabilities . If we boycott we lose out if we don't spend we lose out but I'll tell you this I'd rather lose out on prizes than lose the wonderful people I've met playing your games. Now I'll ask you please give us a financial break and let our groups be competitive and fun again before it's too late

[Vile Lynn]

wow... Crime City had a 24hr war this past weekend and the 3-day CC war is scheduled for this weekend: only a 5 day break between wars! lol, and you all are complaining about a 10 day break? <perspective>

[Hockeydoc]

Since the end of June, KA players had 14 quests and a surprise one-day war. To have another war in a few days old mean three wars, each two weeks apart. While it is Gree's prerogative to schedule things the way they want, from a business perspective, they are driving away quality customers. I cannot afford the time nor money to fight wars every two weeks. If Gree wants to play around with the schedule, they need to announce this weeks in advance, not have everyone guessing. Not only is it good business practice, but is common courtesy.

As founder of DC, and a player in RP, I am hoping Gree will reconsider their current schedule and scheduling practices. I'm tired of watching good players leave the game, something that is supposed to be an escape from RL, not an onerous chore.

Sweet {T}, aka Serita, founder of DC/Daddy Chubbs

[Jomama1]

Gree - you are destroying a great game - please fix this. Founders are in agreement here.

[Valid or]

You all seem to be acting like this is the new schedule, I have not read that, maybe I missed it? If so can you please post it?
All I have read is this is a one time thing as they need to adjust things, not that war is now once every two weeks. Will go back to normal for the next set.

[KM KAge]

Then again, it could be a re-setting of the war pattern. If they run KA wars every 2 weeks, MW wars also every 2 weeks, then there could be a war every weekend.

[Valid or]

Then again, it could be a re-setting of the war pattern. If they run KA wars every 2 weeks, MW wars also every 2 weeks, then there could be a war every weekend.
What I believe they are doing is syncing the time to run war/event schedules with a 24hr war in the middle of the set. So it would be from the end of the 3 day war, (2 weeks,24hr war, 1-2 weeks and 3 day war. Is what I believe they are setting up for)

That may or may not be the case, but wouldn't it be helpful if GREE communicated.

Fact is, just about every player I've spoken to (an I've spoken to a lot) is feeling burned out by the "new norm". Regardless of your rationale, there are better ways to adjust the schedule.

There are significantly fewer players today than there were this time last year. Human players, I mean vs avatars in the game.

Please consider adjusting this. Either move the 3 day our change it to a 1 day. Either will work.

[grantsmith1]

yet again blown away by the speedy response from Gree to this situation, I take it we are witnessing Gree`s standard response ignore the problem and hope everyone will just get on with it, if that's the case then I think you have underestimated the strength of feeling against this scheduling issue, this is not going to go away tadaaah we need some communication on the issue, a number of players have already told me if this event goes ahead as planned then they plan to quit KA. they are just the tip of the iceberg ...this is a HUGELY unpopular decision

[aephlux]

Its funny how ppl are commenting that players are going to quit if war is in 10days. Everyday players quit and everyday new players join its normal. The fact of the matter is, gree has allocated "x" number of wars in "y" number timeframe. Its their business plan, they have to make money. If some players dont like the war so soon then dont participate or spend gems. Thats about all you can do really..:rolleyes::p

It's not the new schedule, they just need to adjust the timing on the way events were starting.
So should be back to normal soon after.
I am just going to do what I can, no gems cant afford them this time too close to last war , might take some time go fishing....

Sorry, but that was GREE's reply to whether this is a 3 day war or a 1 day war, but not a response to the requests and comments asking for GREE to reconsider. You are making assumptions that this is just a reset, but many of us believe that if we put up with this, that this will be the new norm. It is the fastest way to kill what was at once time a fun game, but has become of late a full time job.

To VileLynn and VileDoom I ask - do either of you even play KA? I know VL quit a while back. If you're unhappy with the way the game that you play runs, then do something to fix it, but don't comment on our attempting to save a game that you've already abandoned.

[Lys]

Ah, I'm looking forward to next weekend. It's going to be wonderful. And by that, I mean I'm not logging into Kingdom Age from the start of war till it ends. Instead, I'll be sipping on some rum and enjoying the nice summer days.

[GetItFixed]

Yeah, like a gambler or game addict wouldn t enter a casino if he had a chance too. :D

[Lord Vyper]

Thx for ignoring us again Gree - obviously at least one thing you can do without bugs :)
So there will be a 3 day battle next weekend and gree will again ignore the wishes of most players - earning money from those that will buy gems for this war, ignoring that more and more player leave the game (works as long as new player start KA each day, but every founder who has to recruit new members knows that it is getting more and more difficult - and everyone should know what that means...)

[Skyraiders]

KA friends......

I am not sure what it is that you don't understand about gree....they have been horrible at customer care since day one....they don't communicate with the customer base very well if at all.....we all play...or in my case played the game because it was a great game.....the social aspect of the game is what kept us playing the game when gree was being gree.....I have met so many people from this game...for that I do thank gree for the gaming experience that so many of us shared....most I still talk to even today ...after I stopped playing the game so long ago.

my point is really this.....people that come here to complain are only a small percentage of the people that play the game and it falls on deaf ears anyway....now most of us are on some type of chat app....pick one there are many.....back in the day we tried a boycott.....it worked for the first 24 hours...BUT...then teams saw a chance to get a higher spot in war and took it.....the only way a boycott would work is if everyone honored it....and from past experience that will NEVER happen....also because there are so many that do not communicate with other players...some would not even know that a boycott is happening

another thing we tried back in the days of dragon armies was to contact the customer service ....we had the leaders of most of the top 25 guilds in on this.....again this was folly because gree was just unconcerned with customer satisfaction and more concerned with the bottom line....money!!...

the end result to all of this is simple....play the game if you want....enjoy it if you can....work hard for your teammates....gree will NOT change ...EVER....they will roll out the events and wars and anything else they can come up with to keep you spending....it is your choice to spend or not to spend.....it is your choice to play or not to play....complain till you are blue in the face it will not change what they do....you can suggest that they do things and they MIGHT take a look at trying to do it ...IF...it makes money. the cold hard truth is it is a business.....not a very customer friendly business but that is what it is.....money money money.....either line up to spend or play for free it will not change one thing playing with your friends

of course there is always another option!!!!!....you can MOC gree....and leave the game together to play a different game....there are soooooooo many choices out there!!!!!!!!

[Krayt]

Well said Skyraiders...
You will never get all to agree. When some see opportunity, they will take it

[VX_G]

Complaint enough in any business and things will be change. After all let's treat this as a business in the eyes of GREE.
Has GREE has, and will continue to have not the greatest customer service ? Absolutely!!!
However, I can honestly say thank u to the folks that don't give up easily in seeing a change.
Please continue to push forward, you do make the difference for the community.
Tadahhh
You will end up burning all your competitive players when u bring the amount of events that you do.
It's like a retail that continues to drive the price of goods without any logical business reason behind it.
Eventually faithful customers will be driven away.
Same with events, sinc after all in order to remain in KA you have to be competitive.
With stats inflation, as a player it seems you cannot take a day off.
It's an entertainment game, not RL and far from it.

I would say under normal circumstances you would be correct.....

I would also say that you don't know Gree very well

[Krayt]

War is three days away now and we still have three quests yet...
One of which is likely to be RB.

Gree either needs to make huge changes to RB or push it back to after war

[VileDoom]

I would say under normal circumstances you would be correct.....

I would also say that you don't know Gree very well

Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about. ;)

[plavine]

Well , while I am not thrilled about the quick turn-around , I was even less thrilled that KA & MW had wars in the same weekend. ( I believe CC had a raid boss ) , plus I had 5 players on vacation. My guild is a non gem using top 250 . If you big guys want to take this war off , you have my blessing. Or , better yet , go gem free for a war , just use your regen bonus. I think that would make everything more competitive and exciting. We already know that the top guilds are the strongest any way - prove it !! Go gem free and kick butt anyway.

Very nice thought, some might sit this war out, some might cut back on spending, some will spend the same, as they can afford to, and want that individual prize....

[AvatarTBS]

Okay...seriously. The war is scheduled for less than 3 days away. We're in the middle of a raid boss, and still have an epic boss AND lockbox scheduled. Before the war. In under 3 days. Obviously, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. :P Can someone PLEASE give an actual timeline of how things are going to go? It seems silly just sitting here pretending this is going to
work? It's okay that mistakes were made, I'm not going to throw rocks at you or anything. I'd just like to know if we're still having war, if we're still having the two other events, etc. At this point, we need a decision, please.

[Krayt]

Epic boss is over....
Everything is up now before the war

[KM KAge]

A number of people were complaining earler, and threatening that they, (and their guild), would not participate in the war this weekend. I was just wondering how many people/guilds decided to sit out the wars, or at least go gem free/light.

[GetItFixed]

None.....at least non of the main spenders:D

[Krayt]

None.....at least non of the main spenders:D

Disagree....
You might not notice guilds did or didn't. However, I have noticed gem spending and/or participation is down based on individual positioning.

[Capitalsfanatic]

We made this war voluntary for our guild. Didn't prohibit declarations, but gave members the choice to opt out. So far, there has been no gem spending that I am aware of and participation has been very light. We will resume "business as usual" in the next war.

[GetItFixed]

At least its a good excution for guilds that placed low or lost important matches, they can just say we boycotted war. :rolleyes:

[Capitalsfanatic]

Ok, it's all relative. Call it what you like. This is what we chose to do. It works for us and our guild participation has been low. Boycotts don't work...that's obvious. So we chose to do an individual opt out.

[Krayt]

KA wide boycotts don't work.
I know of a bunch of guilds that have allowed individuals to cut back this war as opposed to prior participation. Gree should be feeling it financially as CP is down in a lot of places.

[GetItFixed]

Not sure if Top 3 already saw rewards for next conquest, i bet they are thrilled about. :p

Gree really knows how to generate low CP and less fight about Top 3. :rolleyes:

All other guilds should he happy, since Top 3 don t have any advantage at placing Top 3. :D

[Just4fun]

Looks like cp points did drop somewhat this war including me as I went gem free... I hope Gree will listen... The next war is on Labor Day btw lol

[GetItFixed]

Who cares about Labor Day? This games isn t just for US Players. :rolleyes:

[VileDoom]

The top 3 rewards were put in place so those players could pay homage to their master or as penance for not scoring enough points last conquest event.

Why was this not addressed properly.... Ummmm maybe agree has math issues?

[Jnsolberg]

What's your excuse now, Tadaaah?

[AvatarTBS]

An explanation as to why this happened a MONTH later is needed. The players don't want this war and will not support it. Fix what is broken, start communicating, or we will leave in droves. Our patience has run out. Stop hiding, start listening and responding.

[Vile Lynn]

No explanation or excuse is needed.
Can't blame the mods for what the developers tell them. Seems like the mods are mushrooms like the players: kept in the dark and fed bs.

Look at CC & MW, and now KA: they all have 10-day war cycles.
Get used to it.
Enjoy the app in your own way for as long as it lasts.. :)

Give Tadaaah a break.

That wasn't "his word" or a "promise."
Please.
Get a grip.

That was probably what he was told; he posted it here to be helpful, and GREE changed things up again, like they often do with quests & rewards & events & dates & everything.

No wonder why the mods are hesitant to post info!
If they get something wrong, you all want to crucify them in every thread.

[Battebing]

Hello,

Thats an outright lie Tadaaah (or are you just ignorant and speaking without knowing the truth?).

You used this excuse two wars ago to put us back on schedule as it was before you screwed up and started running wars more often. So we were on schedule this last war and by having 10 days between you are moving AWAY from the schedule. If you are setting up a NEW schedule just say so instead of making things up.

I'm boycotting this war if it's run next weekend, hope my guild mates will forgive me. And it's not just words. I really won't play. 100% because you are burning me out.

[Rpmjr]

Lol Valid, u are giving Greedy waaaaaay too much credit. They haven't thought out or tested what they are doing next week.

[The red Baron]

I hope we give GREE the right answer, last war i did 750 wins, this war i will play gem free.
I hope other will do the same, my guild will.

[GetItFixed]

Should be an interesting war. Some guilds will stand to what they say before, but most will get weak and start to gem halfway through anyway. You can t kill a habit that easy. ;)

[Ninja_122]

All this talk about gem free won't mean anything to them, instead don't declare at all and u will in reality be showing the players need to be heard and stand by what they said not change it as they please. Unless the community and all players agree to something Gree will continue to do whatever, the game exists because of those playing the game, why then I ask, are we not showing we don't want battles every 10 days by not declaring at all??? My thoughts..
