My rival list just exploded...

[American Capitalist]

I tripled my A/D stats in the last two months and now this crap happens... I finally am strong enough to confidently overvault and it is taken away.

[Jhenry02]

I'm suddenly no longer seeing any of the "low" players. You know, the abandoned bases and people with 12k stats.
Makes raiding and attacking a little more challenging.

I got popped for my first loss in like 4 months yesterday. I lost 6 million in cash to a player with 500 allies. I don't have any visibility to any players with 500 on my list. I can refresh the list numerous times and no players show up with 500. So not only am I visible to stronger players but they are not visible to me.

What a joke Gree. Change the rivals list back.

Hey D@wg...it just never stops does it? FFP currently level 201 with 97 allies...recently attacked by a level 250
with 1116 allies...I can't see anyone with more than about 246 allies ...of course this poor fellow got nothing
and lost some trinkets in the process...you have seen my base...just about everybody I see is extremely weak..
I don't bother with it or the game...just keep an eye on things and chuckle a bit when someone attempts to
attack my base

Waaahhh, I can't camp anymore. Waaahh

Actually you can camp just fine with this change.

It's the players that didn't camp who are screwed over. They can no longer drop allies to slip under the radar.

Please quit trolling and educate yourself. What's the point of playing a strategic war game if you can't be strategic? What's the point of raising your stats if it means nothing?

Yeah, the reason it screws over campers is that now you cant go over vault to buy big upgrades as you will always get beat. But you cant attack many people either as you are almost always with stronger people.

When you do find someone with lower stats, there is nothing worth raiding or it is abandoned- this is becoming more common, i suspect due to this change.

Gree still cant see that it will cost them a lot of players and money

[LagBolt]

^Sorry, doesn't seem to be an option to change it.

[olka]

This change is ridiculous...

To be good at this game you should need a high average attack and defense attribute for each unit.

This new algorithm no longer creates rivals based on relative strength within your peers (ally number) so there is less of a benefit to having advanced/expensive units - the best strategy would be to max out your ally count.

It's like if the boxing world removed the different weight classes - obviously a stupid idea.

well I didnt really understand what U where talking about until this saturday. I've been playing it LESS than 3 months. I get attacked sometimes etc and its ok if they are around my level. My ally count is ~100. But on saturday morning I got smacked my lights out by a player who was 12 levels above me and had 3300!!!!! allies. Sunday morning, again big smacking, today morning again smacking by far stronger and more allies people. I on my rival list dont see so far up or down

Its grees crappy point to spoil gold spenders, so that they can see weaklings and they arent seen back by them (and maybe others too). Checked first attackers base....pure gold player, had all those shiny gold buildings there

[War player]

OK, so they change the game, again. Fine. I was at around 200 allies and was a camper/farmer and now I can't camp/farm. Ok, fine. Now I need to get back to 500. No problem.

So, I drop in 10 gold bars and become a VIP. So, in the first hour, I have gotten EXACTLY SIX requests!!

I'm now pretty much screwed until I can get back to 500 allies, which now seems that it will take much longer than first anticipated. Well, that's sweet. At least the game is now interesting again. I'm very glad I got my IPH to 2MM before this happened.

Of course, A warning would have been nice!!!

[camper killer]

VIP has been broken for about a week.

I refreshed for 2 whole hours looking for my other game from a new one and could never once bring it up on VIP to request for ally.

I should not have to refresh constantly for 2 hours from another account to see if VIP works, on and it didn't. I never saw my account.

[Majorpattycakes]

Please change it back. Too many casualties now.

[Freddiefree1]

Eddie say...be careful what you play with, it may explode

[DunkNL]

Okay I am stopping PVP. I need to beat 20+ opponents to reach those valor goals. It rewards 2000 valor, but in the process i lose over 5000 valor worth of units...
