where is the strategy in frontline?
why take more than one node?
why declare more than 1-2 battle a day?
That wasn't an issue for me. I only bought what I could deploy... And psychologically speaking it was easier for me to deploy it because I didn't see my stats drop each war... which took a painful part of FA away.
That's just me though... I get what you're saying as well.
Full assault took 1,000 times more strategy than frontline. Frontline requires almost zero strategy to be successful. You don't even have to be active. Whole entire event is a waste of time. The only thing frontline has over full assault is it makes gold more useful. But why spend gold on an event where better prizes are rewarded for finishing lower on the leaderboard.. Lol...
Hope they bring back full assault and trash frontline. Only people who don't like full assault are the who neglected to build up their IPH, which is their own fault not GREEs
I used NO gold refills, did not need to. Did 5 battles in 3 won all nodes in the 4th won 4/5 as an android device locked at a bad moment. In the 1 battle I did not win I won at least 1 node, that was the first try and after seeing how things worked I adjusted my strategy.
Actually found it fun, granted the infantry and air unit was useless. I have moderate to low IPH, did not save at all for this but actually had fun compared to Faulty Assault because I never had to spend a dime.
My test faction placed 1,434 in the event using 13 LLPs, er actually 12 since the wife had her phone and I was the only one playing.
Those curious, my test faction is DKN.

MB, do you think that this is really underlining the gap between gold players and non gold players? I actually found the opposite, but then I only play for fun and amusement since the possibility to actually be competative in the high ranks is unreachable plus not really something that I ever cared for.

frontline was nice, sit back for multiple hours not even looking at MW then jump in a battle quick and move up 10k spots in indy, its simple and not time consuming, 'tis why i like
Yes..
Frontline=gold
Full assault= IPH/raiding
I was the number 1 contributor on a top 50 faction during full assault. Sacrificed everything I had cause I knew I could buy it back easily... Had a blast and spent zero gold
Used up all my deployments and best possible units during frontline.. Was ranked 30 on my team with like 3 million or something. Our number one guy was at 42 million.. Why? GOLD!
Have another account that was on a totally free faction during the first full assault. They were top 100 WD faction. Got top 30 during full assault cause we were active, strategic, and a few of us had good iph.
FOOL ASSault was awful! Good riddance!
Frontline didn't suck as much, but not real keen on the associated LTQ that was there basically to support Frontline. It was like having Folders as rewards for defeating a Raid Boss, so you could then summon another RB.
Even with crate/box/case events you're usually working toward a reward that use can use for more than the next couple days.
Frontline is nothing more than an auction event. For the medium to higher factions, the only winning strategy is to outspend your opponents with Gold. Buy deploys and/or buy boats.
What choice of units were offered? A tank for free players and a boat for the gold crowd. No one in their right mind would purchase the lesser units, except for the low IPH players.
Most of the action takes place in the last few mins of a battle. A good part of the hour is wasted just watching and waiting to ambush your bigger opponents who are more often than not ready for that singular strategy.
Thousands of cash units with little use now.
Full Assault even with it's problems was more enjoyable than this auction.
Fix Full Assault by adding a tab for deploys, so players can switch between the battleield and inventory.
Reduce the event to 24hrs.
Reduce battles to 20 mins.
Link deploy times to Health regeneration (or energy).
If one of the reasons for changing the event, was, players were accidentally deploying units they shouldn't have, then too bad. They'll learn from their mistakes.
Frontline - A thoroughly boring event Gree. D- (Must do better).

I enjoyed it a lot. However it could have had a much faster deploy regen and more unis would be nice. 35 gold for 1 unit that isn't even that good. Also getting one plane that has less value than the 25 tanks you get for 2nd is a negative. Still a new event and gonna need to be tweaked of course. Overall happy with the event. It should have faster regen and be 24 hour event.
I liked Frontline a lot more. The regen times were a little too high but I genuinely enjoyed the event and hope it's here to stay.
Three things would fix it - make the LTQ and FLTQ prizes units that can be used in the real game; make the regen time a lot less - 1-2 minutes; even out the unit point values so that there are other options than either one in game cash or gold purchase - the two low value units were completely worthless and pointless.

FL and FA are both POS events....drown them both.
