World Domination Official Feedback Thread

And thanks for changing the matchup system. We just faced a faction with at least 10 players with higher stats than our DL, and the lowest we could find could not be hit by over half our faction. Not good.

Same here. Also only officers and/or the leader should be able to declare war. As a few others have posted we also have a few rogue members that are intentionally declaring war when the rest of us are not ready.

It looks like you made a slight change to the scoring system however high level players are still getting about 2/3 of the WD points as lower level players for successfully defeating the same opponent. I am going to request 50 percent more gold for my money as a result.

The game is frozen! I've declared war and nothing doin for about a half hour now... What's goin on???

Our faction leader hasn't been on in weeks. It would be nice for the officers to work with out the faction leader. The leader has too much control. If the leader stops playing it renders the entire faction useless. It would be cool if the officers could mutiny somehow and nominate a new leader.

I like how awards go down to the top 4000 factions, that allows for non gold teams toget something too. But you should tier those awards as well, top 2000, 3000, 4000 like that.

-I would love to see the whole faction/world domination tab rolled into ONE. just use the Globe Icon already in place. I get tired of switching back and forth.

-Tabs in that tab should include one for chat - like a side bar you can keep open (if you've ever played Clash of Clans they have a great team chat option!) - how bout a voice chat option? Maybe this game isn't quite suited to that ... yet.

-a place to see all your team member's stats.
You have the wins/losses/points like it is now, but I'd like one similar to that to show all my members stats. Also before accepting a new member I'd like to see what they have to offer first.
Pre/post battle stats would be nice as I want to see my team growing and being able to chart that. That would be great! Even just from the end of the last battle to the start of the next one.

-besides the wins/losses/points system, I'd like to be able to see member time/date logins, number of logins (important for us daily players), whether they've read messages/comment boards, and ESPECIALLY donation statuses.
I dislike the current donation notifications. They just muddle up the message board. Something along the lines of the tabs for w/l/pts. You can include all these in the member info area.... If you had a tab I could click for daily/weekly/monthly or someting along those lines that would help greatly!!! Not just to figure out who's donating what, but how often. I'd even be happy with a 'total amount' added in there and a way to see pre/post battle donations.

-and I could see the value in throwing in a member's time zone! That would help with creating battle plan timings.

-I'd like a check box to be able to check off and send out a bulk message to the team, preferably to their boards, but also with the option of it being only visible to them and not public. You could include the options of checking off "all members", "officers only" or individual(s). That would be awesome.

-a way to checkbox/delete multiple messages off the chat boards.

-a way to 'pin' messages to the top (ie, faction rules/donation rules, battle plans, battle timing schedules, etc) whatever you want to keep at the top of the page so you don't have to keep rewriting. And it keeps it "Team Secret" eyes only!

-I'd like to be able to disable any team member from declaring battle or at least being able to select just the team leader, officers, defence leader, etc. Or the ability to boot anyone at anytime, not just between battles. I understand that could throw the system off when calculating match ups, but it would still be worth it. Plus being able to give the officers more abilities (except booting out the leader!! No overthrowing allowed - or maybe that would be an interesting twist!! - Mutiny!), so they I can delegate tasks such as battle plans, messaging, organizing squads, etc.

-I'd love to see how our defence fortifications are holding up. I mean, we can see theirs and watch as they get pummeled into oblivion, but have no idea how ours are doing. Or our Defence leader. Both of those things would be excellent.

-and most will hate me for this, but you need to have two world domination tiers.

One for the gold buyers/hackers and one for the rest of us.

I can't see wasting $1,000's every month on playing this game, but I do believe in investing small amounts for the time I play on here (and other Gree games I find worth it). That's my 'entertainment dollars'. I sometimes use real world money to help boost my game a bit if I feel I'm not making progress quick enough for where I want to go.

Hell - have you ever considered a really small monthly membership fee for bonus stuff? I could probably swing $20/month - as long as the game was still "free". I play XBOX Live ($50 CDN a year), because I really enjoy the Halo games live.

But whenit comes down to it, most people who play "free app games" just don't have the cash or perhaps the kids playing don't have access to anykind of payment system.

Splitting battles into two tiers gives us regular folks a shot at getting stronger units/bonuses and keeps the game fun. I know my faction will never be in the top 100 or so because we are just a bunch of regular people who go to school and/or work full time and can't afford to dump the "rich-kid-with-nothing-better-to-do-with-daddy's-money" kinda cash into the game, but I still want to be able to build and have the chance at getting the same kinds of units/ boosts the goldees get. I do my best to learn and build and get better and the game has improved in a lot of ways, but the gold-buying elite are just wayyyy too advanced for us regular joe's. It makes you kinda wanna give up and quit altogether.

I know you have to make money to keep developing the game and ensuring the servers keep running, etc but you have the chance that too much gold-buying members/factions will end up scaring us longer term players trying to just keep up as best we can, while still spending a little money here and there. Losing players will hurt the game overall. There has to be a balance and I think having to tiers is a great way to go. You could just have the option of going the gold route, or the non-gold route and still be able have a chance to hit those top spots with all the great units/bonuses!

I also thought you could probably force the top winning team(s) to break up, make each member the leader of a new faction and offer just those leaders super-awesome goodies for taking some regular schmucks (free players) as far as they can go. That way you'd really see who had great strategy, nerves and command qualities over just spending their way to the top. Now who wouldn't love a challenge like that.

And that's my two cents... so far.

These can also be applied to the upcoming Guild Wars in Kingdom Age! And other domination event games you are considering.

I hope to see most of these wish-list items come true!

Thanks!!!

OH yes, almost forgot! How bout the option for a mandatory 'cool-down/recharge time'! I'd like to ensure we don't go into battle until at least an hour after the last one. There are players doing their own thing, declaring war and no one else has any strength because we just finished up a battle!!!
That or make it an automatic one hour between battles!

Thanks Again!

Hey all,

What I'd like to do here is to make a place for all world domination feedback based on the last two events. I want to hear it, the devs want to hear it, we've made changed between the first and second events based on player feedback. Put it here, it will be seen.

I do ask that people keep it constructive; honest opinions either way are requested but keep it constructive (i.e. tell us what you'd like to see different). And please keep it relatively on-topic to World Domination and how we can make that more enjoyable for everyone.

I'll try to post replies as I can for things I know that we can/can't do but as always can't provide answers to every question.

-Chris

Can we get other rankings other than officers, leader, and d leader? Maybe throw in a corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, major, colonel and so on.

[hoho]

someone already mentioned in this thread... and i remember someone had a pool before this.

i think war declaration needs to be restricted to certain member (or perhaps some other idea here)

I know there have been improvements to this bit on faction alert and thanks to that we are able to identify who declare it, but it doesnt stop them from doing so. and we are on lockdown for this type of players.

[krabbie]

Recieved the message of the servers being down ahalf an hour ago, just while our faction planned the next round of attacks. Besidesall of us getting out of our bed and not being able to do anything, i think closing the game for 4 hours isn't fair, since most of the factions are country- and therefore timezone-based. So a closure during the day in our timezone (Europe)e and in the dead of night in other timezones (usa) isn't fair! This way we won't be able to make up for the lost rankings during the night! Really disappointed in this Gree!

[cuzen]

I'm not supposed to do this but after what was pulled tonight by Gree, or whoever runs this things YOU SUCK!!!! You advertise that the WD is going down as 12 pm PST, then you pull it at 10:50pm PST, and you, CJ, have the balls to post that it's going down after the fact, at 11pm PST Didn't anyone there have the common sense to think that someone might be in the middle of spending a lot of gold taking down a wall, and if you took the game down in the middle of that, you will have stolen that gold from them. Stupid idiots!! Lying stupid idiots! ! Go on and ban me for calling a spade a spade! YOU SUCK!!!

[mistergreen]

An indicator on a Faction's member list to show who is online would be nice. Every forum I've ever seen has that functionality.

[DreamWeaver]

so the game says that World Domination is going on and that i should join a faction. I type in the invite code for my friends faction and it says "Faction Ranks Locked, PLease wait for the current World Domination campaign to end and try again." It dosen't make sense to me that I am unable to join a faction just because of this World Domination thing. Is there any way around it or do i just have to wait? This should definetly be changed...

[Some Random Clown]

I could really use a status bar on our shiled health that everyone can see. weve got a none, active destroyed on the fort but not on our shields. really this this would be useful.
