This time around was much better than the first. But now we will know which 10 teams will always be in that number one spot. I dropped 60 bucks on gold this time around and much if my faction did as well. Did not even come close to breaking the 250 mark. How in te game (pvp) events can I see the defense of a player before I attack them but not in this battle? Also if some one has 135 allies how do they have 56,000 in defense points? Might want to look into that.
A couple things bother me so far,
I spent gold to max out spec ops earlier than would have naturally occurred and yet I still cannot purchase the valor unit that comes with that honor
I busted my butt to get to level 200 for respect as much as experience, but now I am basically cut off during boss events at level 8.....really? Level 8? There's 35 levels.....I'm not investing a small fortune for one unit with no additional perks...
The WD point issue has been beaten like a dead horse, so yea....
The lack of 40% discount this war.....I'm not a cheapskate but some people really want to compete in these events and just cannot afford it, it's a game, it should be affordable to more than a select few....very little revolves around the time put in and more on the money spent....
I agree that the pvp prizes should be tiered and stronger, I spend a lot of gold during those events for a mediocre unit...
Figuring out who declared war is a must, right now the system doesn't hold anybody accountable...
Also, iOS users should be able to see what place their faction is in during war, if you have it for one system and not the other, how is that a balanced playing field....we blew a lot of gold to ensure we finished top 25 and turns out we didn't have to because we were sitting at 20th.....
There's a bunch more that I won't list but basically I think the top players, top levels and top time invested, should be rewarded and not punished.....why does a person who is level 120 and attack of 55k have a ground unit worth 2100 attack (and got it using free hits and in game cash) and myself, level 200 with 150k+ attack can't get past level 8 without blowing gold? Where's the incentive?
i saw and heard something about the top 42 factions receiving an extra prize if so what is it and when are we supposed to get that?
It was from the WD Beta program and GREE haven't updated this particular screen yet. You can ignore what you heard and saw because there is no extra prize and you will never receive one either for the top 42.Quote:

We all use the faction forum a lot. Some are setting up external forums as the existing is so limited. Please make a war forum that can run on a tab within the battle screen. You could use the rewards tab? It is not user friendly coming in and out of the battle section to open the faction section and then access the forum. Most teams use the forum to communicate to members who to attack or who/what to focus on in the wars.
The main faction forum needs to be bigger. (Be able to hold 200/300 posts before they drop off). In large factions messages etc get lost quickly if the forum is busy.
Lastly a section for leaders messages only. It is a real pain posting on 40++ individual players walls so they see a vital instruction or goal for the faction. I find some members outside the wars may not login for 24 hrs and many won't bother to scroll down the forum posts... So a dedicated leader only message board would save hours or repetitive posting.
IN SUMMARY:
BIGGER FACTION FORUM HANDLING MORE POSTS
IN-BATTLE WAR FORUM USING THE REWARDS TAB FOR EXAMPLE. USED ONLY DURING THE WARS
LEADER MESSAGE BOARD SEPARATE TO FACTION FORUM.
As said well done. 100% improvement and got us spending for the first time.
Hi
I put this here because it started with those artic mining rigs. I could build one of these rigs, when it complited my acount went haywire....
Now i havent been able to build anything.... i have sented ticket in few weeks ago and got no reply. This why i missed second rig and will miss all next buildings because of this.
Hope this will get fixed?
Ticket 367013
Some aditional details. -When i go to faction screen 1 time it gives server error message, 2 time it goes trough with no hickups. - When i try to move buildinds it gives unknown error message, but when i quit the game and restart buildings is where i moved it. - And all events sometimes give unknown error message when i am on event screen, even if i dont do anything. - And offcource i still cant build anything. - People are now back in to maps.
Tryed 4 times now uninstall and reinstal but problem stays.
If your faction finished 4000+ is there some way to find out your ranking?
Not to bust your stones, but it's not like they surprised you with the prize units. You knew what they were before the war ever started and still chose to spend a lot of gold.Quote:

give us some time to boot those who just join the faction for few days and do nothing during the war and get the prize.
We got hammered by this issue. As free players, jumpoff without being able to power attack massively decreased our point potential. Our only controllable option in game following Greenland was to demote all but 2 core faction members.Quote:

Thanks for all the hard work CJ.
I would like the newsfeed featurd brought back to WD events, for multiple reasons, like knowing who attacked you and therefore having a chance to attack back. Also if you were overvault there was no warning that money was lost, just poof, your missing money. Newsfeed is essential to this game and should be a part of all events.
One way you could level the battlefield in the long run a little is to make it where each faction can only win one country. A faction that has won could continue to battle for 2nd place, etc, but with X amount of countries that will be battles, you could have X amount of winners. PUN and others could still compete for top prizes, but it would give the other top 100 or so (or how ever many countries you plan on using) a chance to get recognition and top prizes also.
Thank you for posting this CJ:
First and foremost (and in my opinion most importantly) You need to Push Egypt to be 30 days away. This is a game but it's a VERY time demanding game on our Real Lives. I want to enjoy the game which i do but at this rate you are going to burn out your players (Free/Gold...Doesn't matter because as you loose Customers more will follow suite)
Next events should be 48-72 hours maximum (same idea...you don't want to burn players out)
In addition i don't think lvl 200 players should get fewer WD points than lower level players? How does that seem fair or make sense? (This is coming from someone who was under lvl 100 too)
Finally make Activity an important component of this game. Right now Someone who can't afford Gold makes very little impact to the results (as sad as that is to say). Now im not trying to take anything from the big gold spenders but if you enter into a 1 hour battle (assuming you have full health because you waited over an hour to declare) and you can only manage 6-7 actions every 2 hours thats just not right and frankly pretty boring. Maybe give players a health bar and it each hit costs 10 HP instead of 25? (giving them 10 hits or as many as 19-20 during a war?) Then it's still 25 gold to refill your health halfway? This will hopefully add a small balance factor to the game.
Also you should Reduce Casualties during the WD events as some players were almost devastated from this event and are not sure if they will ever be the same. At the same time i would say Hault XP gains from WD activities?
The top 3 factions should each get a specific unit. Give it huge stats too!
(1) tracking donations would be very useful. It is hard work and basically an honor system.
(2) Allow only officers to declare war. A problem for us in Brazil, not in Greenland. But i gotta think the fix is not that hard.
(3) I hear people RE the scoring, but I think rolling with the punches is part of the fun and challenge. Maybe split the difference somehow between the ally lvl only shown now and full stats. Showing lvl might be good b/c then you gotta stick your neck out and see if that higher lvl player is too big to handle. An added benefit is it reigns in somewhat the ally level manipulation, which is an obvious angle to work if ally levels are all that is shown. For example, if you are a lvl 137 and you crank your allies down to 130 to draw in weaker foes, you are also gonna get whacked by strong players 136 and lower looking for bigger points.
(4) all the stuff about the timing, 3 day events noon-noon and space them out. What about posting the schedule, or adopting a predictable routine? Forgive me, but we might sit one out eventually, would be good to plan a bit.
(5) consider a light gold or no gold option. This may be a non-starter with the front office, but lets face it ascending beyond a certain level appears to me tied to meaningful gold spending. Some folks just don't want to. Some folks have a philosophical aversion to spending gold. You will never make money from them, why not create a "gold free" division or flites of gold, and in them LOCK GOLD during the event. Again, you get some gold purchase or continued support from them, while allowing the big spenders to keep doing what they are doing.
(6) I fear PvP is going to become a non-event for many. It is a hard sell in our faction, which is in the 100-500 range. There are thosands of factions below that with absolutely nothing to play for. At least a few add'l rewards?
(7) At the risk of infuriating the big boys, is it meaningful for them (I will not name names) to keep pounding on one another, getting yet undreamed of higher levels of excellence/intimidation, and repeatedly proving themselves? Sorry, bit of a rant but why not have a "winner sits next one out" or "win one and done" or some similar mechanism to spread the glory/wealth. Or maybe you can trade your "ownership" of a territory or sell it and re-enter the battle, a whole new "WORLD NEGOTIATION" game sequence occurring in the boardroom....
We love the WD and palplable improvement, both during Brazil and before Greenland. Thanks CJ and Gree
