New update released.... But no release notes to be found anywhere

[Eamon Wong]

Just updated the app and would think when releasing an update with new features, u might have the common sence to inform people of what the new features and additions are and how it affects our game play... Before it may become another one of the many unfair accidents that only people online at the right time benefit from...

[ThisGameSucks]

Yeah, such as this new "Power" meter. Whats that for?

[Eamon Wong]

Not sure I'm only guessing but think it could be a scale that combines personal boosts and uv into a scale to measure and gauge ur hit power or strength for cwe to stop everyone asking y 30mil uv beat their 120mil uv

But that's just a stab in the dark

[Lolsies]

Yep, a lot of people are left in the dark. The only thing my world and other worlds are speculating on is that Power is based on UV, comms, personal boosts, and building upgrades.

[Mad4it]

Not working properly in world 8. Some at zero and some mixed up with uv dropped during event.

My power is same as uv built so far in event but not sure if that is a coincidence or not.

Please test these things first GREE and give us some sort of guidelines.

It will appear to not be working for players who have not updated the app, hence some players will show 0 until updated...

Those that have 0 power have not updated the game I believe.

What would be the point of having this "Power" feature? I can see some use if the formula as to how it is derived is given, but if no weightage information is available, then it is not as useful as it is touted to be.

[Mad4it]

The power meter is best used to see who has a lot of UV. Other than that, I really cant see the point to be honest.

[Drifting death]

If I was a betting man this is a pre upgrade to, possible further upgrades.
I see a world system where "Power" ranking can be used to allow players to move worlds based on it.....
Or these event worlds we talked about in their requests thread.
But only time will tell.

And I have no info you don't already have.

It's mostly to see people's UV, a gauge to see where you are at compared to the competition, and overall something just to brag about.

"Power" meter is useful for generals, to see who is active but it's not what the game needed...

[Kerean]

Anyone knows what "NEW medals for Generals, larger Specialist inventories AND a free 5 min speedup!" is about?

New medals, no clue.

Larger specialist inventories, my guess you can have more specialists in your specialist pool before your full so you have a larger pool of specialists to draw from. Your proberbly still limited to the same number active. But this allows you to create more varied types. So you can create defence, vehicle, attack, and any other type there can be of specialists. And then change your current active specialists as needed.

Free 5 min speed up, this is common in most games that offer speed ups, you can click Finnish build instantly for free if the army units or building or research has only 5 minutes left on the clock for free no gold cost. So basicly if you set a build for just over 5 mins when it hits only 5 mins you can rush an instant finish for free. I can see this being a used in build events but knowing gree they haven't thought of that.....and how it may get abused..... But they may surprise us and restrict it in some way to stop build event abuse...

It's difficult to see how these will stop players leaving the game. It's more likely an attempt to paper over the cracks again. The basic problem is if they help new players catch up it upsets old players that worked hard to get their advantages. But if they don't help new players be competitive with old players. then worlds just die.... They need to go for option 3 allow players to move this will keep the old players happy as they can fight with other old players and the new happy as they can fight with players that are new.

The problem is that proberbly needs a lot of coding so it's if they can do it before all their big whale players in old worlds quit, before they create a system to get them off the beaches they have been left to die on...... Maybe this upgrade will splash some water on their backs and buy gree some time.

The thing is that none of these things seem to be active even though they are listed in the release notes for an update. Has anyone seen them?
