Boring is putting it so lightly now is our opinion of this game. It has gone from a war game to farmville. GvG stands for guild versus guild but has been taken away from all that participating in fighting.
It used to be fun to be able to actually move your territory through the map to actually initiate a war on another guild. Now we get to sit back and every one gets to tend to their little farm land. Taking away the ability to delete the army in your HQ has killed this game. We got over the inability to leave and return to a guild and we got over the outrageous cost of goods needed to expand territory but forcing us to stay in one spot and move one square at a time is insane.
Reverse what you did !!! Let some action and fun get back into this game. Those that can't handle the action go join SimCity. Let those that like to participate in a planned attack get back to enjoying what this game started out to be.
That's what I was talking about!
What we had?
1.
Flexibility - we could find any best time for attack with calculated and recorded low activity of our enemies.
2.
Planning - we could make the strategy of massive and fast attack and plan it and organize it.
3.
Community - we could work closer with our guild mates to come at one time and attack.
4.
Fun - we could destroy 20-30 of our enemies hexes if we plan and organize our attack well.
5.
Speed - we could attack fast if we have chosen right time + right place + good organization and coordination of attack....
This was a real GvG.
What do we have now?
1.
Freeze - everyone are moving too slow to organize emergence attack and do something before enemies will notice our start.
2.
Slow motion - we can take only 1-2 hexes per day and stop again.
3.
Timer wars - Only 10 minutes of war per day we can fight when two enemies come face to face and after putting the shields again 23 hours 50 minutes waiting for another chance to go futher...
Look at the screen below. It took us
7 days only to come to the point. And all these 7 days we were fighting only 10 minutes on timer to move 1 hex forward.
Is it a GvG? No. This is a
Sleepy Hollow! )) People are boring and do not understand what to do other 23 h 50 m between timers ))) And if we have troubles to come together on timer (personal life, families, job, meetings and etc) there will be nothing to do at all as enemy will just take the hexes on timer and can continue sleeping another 24 hours and you need again one week to come to the same point of destination. So where is GvG? Why should we go to Tribal Wars if we are playing FoE more than 2 years and it just have started to become more active war game that previous boring monotonous neighbours attacks each day?
