Come on Clementine, you started this thread, you have answered in numerous other threads, so how about answering this one.
The idea is interesting and actually good. It is just a completely black box to me how attacking works these days? There is no way to know how much it affects your attack and chance to win against a given player. And as far as I can tell there is also a random factor to it
I think they do spend a lot on this game but it's focused on keeping revenues up. Equipment is an obvious winner for them so I see no chance of it going away in spite of what we think of it as players. I just wish someone would be honest about and tell us they have no intention of doing away with it as they have clear evidence that it's increased their revenue stream, if that's the case.
He is here...deleting comments...so you are being wilfully ignoredQuote:

Hello Clem, any chance you could address the pages upon pages of comments stating players dislike for this toy soldier rubbish. We are all taking your silence as a message that you just don't care what we think.
This toy soldier rubbish is here and it's not going anywhere. Go out and find items for your toy soldier or he might be running around nekkid!! lolQuote:

Or alternatively, a test to see how much complaining players would do, but continue to tap and spend anyway. Which ever case, it was merely a bit of psychological warfare on Gree's part.Quote:

So why in the world would they do away with something that's a money maker for them?
Flake you are correct, I'm more PO'd about them starting a thread just to pay us lip service than about the equipment. I'll just quit the game when it gets to the point where I can't compete without spending mega bucks on gold.
Between what they are doing to the games and what they've done today to the forum, that might be this week for me.
Hello Clem, how's about a response. . . Contradicting your better communication pledge mate.
I think that they were expecting positive feedback in this thread. With mostly negative feedback givin, it left them speachless. Now scratching their heads, they are wondering what they can say to people that play a war game about the barbie dress up dolls they forced on us. Wait.... gree is in San Francisco right?
I am not sure why people are so against the new equipment, the idea seems fine to me. Its a fresh angle to the game and putting equipment in the ltqs gives a bit more incentive reason to do them. It also offers some strategic choice - go for farming equipment, or go for completion of the ltq and the end/wrapper prizes.
What would be helpful is a much more accurate description of exactly how a battle result is calculated, and a display that shows us our army equipment stats.
After a long period of complaint about it being too easy for an attacker to win, I had thought things had improved and the win/loss results seemed to make more sense. That was until a week or so ago when it seems to have reverted and I have people with attack not much more than half my defence, and way less equipment, easily and consistently beating me in raids. If this continues the up-coming PvP is going to be a disaster.
Geoff my complaint with it is that in order to obtain enough equipment to remain really competitive in WD you have to spend gold doing the LTQ's because they raised the energy levels to a point where I have to spend gold just to complete a "normal" LTQ. Also you always had the option to do LTQ's, now you HAVE to do them just to keep up with the Jones'. Another complaint is the way the battles are calculated. There's NO WAY a person with HALF your stats should win any battle just because he brings more "equipment" to the battle. As far as raids go, I don't think the equipment is calculated in raids only in PvP battles.Quote:

I just had a few of my comments deleted by clementine AND got a WARNING from the moderators not to insult players and follow the fourms code of conduct..... For what reason? Calling clementine out and saying why u commenting on other threads and not this one? But will pull sneaky moves like deleting comments.....smh... Gree at it again always trying to one up the underdogQuote:

Doing ltqs is still 'optional' its just that you won't progress as fast. Nothing has changed there. The prizes used to be good equipment and other bonuses that helped your stats. Now the prizes are mainly equipment that helps your stats. There are always going to be people prepared to spend more time (and money) than others. That's just the way it is and not a negative point about equipment.Quote:

I guess we were supposed to like this nonsense that changed the whole dynamic of the WD event.
It seems that individual could comment about not commenting, albeit in a totally separate thread, but couldn't be bothered to actually comment. To keep from going bald, I've had to stop scratching my head over many of the happenings here.Quote:

Before you kill this thread, I shall post my question here, seeing as it the official thread for soldier equipment.
I have heard and also seen evidence that next WD soldier equipment is NOT going to be implemented, could you please advise as to weather this is the case.

any official word on Soldier Equipment and WD?
Hi, as a weaker player I think equipment is great, the problem as mentioned earlier is the algorithm that calculates whether you win or not. I have sent in tickets and the explanation said that all Attack and defence numbers are used in the calculation as well as skill points and a random figure.
Would be nice to know my soldiers defence and Attack so I can track increases.
Just a thought if you remove equipment from W.D. Then why not remove all boosts.
Keep equipment, in real war one Maxim gun could take out 100's of soldiers armed with spears. So it is important.
Just tell us about the algorithm and show my army equipment as total, Attack and defence, in stats
there are a few threads running... let's funnel this topic to this thread (the official feedback thread) and try to get some clarification...

With the owner of Gree being a very rich Japanese Billionaire, I would hope that he could hire a few dedicated forum moderators who's sole job is to answer posts. I know it's pretty far-fetched because it shows that quality and customer support are the last things on your company's mission statement. However, if you want your game to succeed, you need to address these core issues and stop making the customer accountable for all your glitches and bugs.Quote:

Bottom line, Gree needs to take notice of other online app games and take a cue from companies that have great reviews from the App Store. What sets them apart is their customer service; something that Gree has no concept of.
