i dont know about you, but recently i was attacked, raided by rivals whose attack point is more than double my attack, more defense, more allies, and higher level than me. and no, i did not attack them first, and i have no idea how this works.

I am still not sure about my strategy or my relative strength in this game.
But a fact is: The new system makes me win more battles!
It's because Gree's changes to the algorithm made you visible to higher level players. Yes you are on their rivals list but they are not on yours (that's how mine works now).Originally Posted by hoho
thanks for info ... it is just getting hard, and the sound of it is actually devastating... we started the game at different time and the moment we begin as llp, it is already bully time. tragic.
You are cannon fodder for the gold players. does'nt that feel great! Welcome to my world.
I think it's supposed to match you against rivals with similar attack and defensive stats.
Relative strength is now irrelevant as you are no longer fighting with equal size armies.
Can't believe anyone would approve this change...

well this new system will be the end of MW. Gold players see others and cant be seen back.....today minime got smacked the lights out too. Its about a month old, lvl15 and has 4k A and 6k D, but was smacked by lvl 19 player with 8k stats. minime doesnt even see that far on list, only 14-16 levels, but that lvl 19 sees him and can kick himSo this one way seeing ppl to attack....."nice" job gree, soon this will be the end of free players and then gold players can back up their bags too (cause not much left to attack) and find some normal game (read: not made by gree). Hope it happens soon.
Dear Gree,
This change is really stupid. My HLP (level 71, okay, its not that high, but its my high one) can now see almost + or - ten levels. I am at 346 allies, and can see people with allies as low as 106.
I have some of the highest stats at my level. How is it fair that I can see some poor dude at level 66 with 106 allies?
If I want to farm people and find cows, I can always drop allies to get to their levels, then work to add them back for the battles. They were always available to me... but I had to work for it. NOW, you've handed them to me on a silver platter, and expanded the number of levels of them at the same time.
I'm sorry... but this is just not a good idea.

and the best part for YOU is....they cant see U back!!! Unless U attack and go to their feed ofc. I'm the poor guy on the other side of fence...~100 allies and ppl with 3300 allies and +12 levels attack me. My rival list doesnt go that far. Gree just wants to take out all the thinking of this game...all U have to do is give them all Ur money and they hand out all "weaklings" for ya
I would just like for admin or a mod to come on this thread and state it for what it truly is:
This is our way to try and further force people into buying gold. Lets thinks about this.. Weak players will get attacked and become tired of getting attacked so they must buy gold to become stronger to avoid attacks. Or maybe they will buy vaults of cash because now they can't save enough money to do large upgrades. Hmmm....yea that's a great idea. Lets do it.
Right?

Thats the reason. They are gambling on people not thinking this new algorithm through and assuming gold will buy them out of the system.I would just like for admin or a mod to come on this thread and state it for what it truly is:

IT WONT. You will only make things worse. If you get stronger, your rival list adjusts to allow even stronger people to attack you. Gold units are now pointless. Hell, most normal units are pointless now. I think ill have an army of 20 tree snipers, it makes no difference. People need to realize this.
Due to my work schedule, I had 14.5 mil raided from my buildings in one blow yesterday. Today, due to an upgrade throwing my collection times off, I had a level 3 arctic rig hit. I would be ok with that if it were people close to me. One was 40 levels higher than me with 500 allies (282 more than me) and 100k more attack. I'm pretty strong for my allies and level, so I only see people with 200+ more allies. I can't even find anyone near me. When I find someone I can beat, they have nothing even worth raiding. PvP sucks now!
Similar thing just happened to me. Best thing to do now is always stay under vault, donate anything over to your faction. Collect 24/48h buildings at a time when you are always able to log into the game. If it gets raided due to an upgrade, just leave it until the collection time. This stops 90% of losses
LagBolt, I agree 100%. The issue I have, is my work schedule fluctuates. I also still would like to play this game. Almost all of my upgrades are near the 200 mil mark. I've played smart so far. Unfortunately, it's made me a perfect target. I just donated 30 mil to get me under vault after losing 38 mil in the past day and a half. Basically, what Gree is telling me is to give up. Don't try and grow stronger, don't try and grow IPH, just collect your buildings and donate. I'm at a point where I don't know hat else to do. Don't get me wrong, I live my faction, but I have nothing else keeping me in he game. PvP sucks now, I can't grow my IPH, I can't (or shouldn't) get stronger, where do I go from here. I know too many people(numerous because of the changes), that have sold off their bases or given their id's away as a result of the changes. I spent a good amount of real money to get to where I am. Had I known this would be the result, I would have saved my money.
