I was on vacation for the last 3 weeks. When I got back home, I saw a few things that had changed during my absence. One, would be the PvP arena which caught my interest. So, I just went and click on the building and it asks me for a defending PvP army and I gave it one. I then went into the interface to pick a fight that showed me the army management screen, but no "manual" battle button. Basically, it's pretty much an auto thing where folks will lose a lot of important units if they don't have an Alcatraz in their city to replenish (the god awful wait times to get reinforcements via military buildings as we progress through the ages).
Now, in order to get my fancy going, a few things needed to be changed:
Amount of Medals: needed to be changed to a higher amount as no one will probably be PvP'ing if the weekly reward is a dinky amount of medals. It should be about 1400 for those who are in ranks 500-1000 (for example) and adjusted for those in better placement and those in worse placement.
Need a MANUAL Button: The majority players, both on beta and live server, tend to go into battle manually. I like a feature that puts my wits to end, not doing them automatically. This doesn't need further reason why, just get it done.
Timing of Attempts: This is a PvP game, not Farming and Production! Why couldn't the attempt timer be at 1hr just like most of the things in the game? If we could get that going at 1hr instead of 4hr, there will be a lot of participation to get up in the ranks. Now, it's done five and then wait until you get another attempt. Kind of boring if you ask me.
Number of Attempts: This is purely separate as we see the attempt scales (forge point at 10, guild expedition at 8 respectfully) in timing to be given on any day. Why do we have to settle at 5 attempts? If we have to settle for 5 attempts, I would feel better to use them when they are fully set at 5 hours total than 20 hours. Yes, I can use it when the 4 hours is up, but there is no fun in it when I just used an attempt and have to keep on waiting in order to get more.
Oh, I am sure I will have more to say when the time comes, but these are the most important in my opinion that needs to be addressed.
