Forum wrote:just a quick note to state the the whole point of this topic (started by me) is for you, the players, to provide feedback on the 'real life' effects of the updates, in the main live server, so we can addess imbalances or issues.
Is massing too expensive? Is sab too powerful? house bonus too strong, etc etc --- state it here, after trying it out, and we can address it. Will everyone be happy with everything? maybe not, but we will do our best to make the best decisions for the bulk of folks, and for the game overall.
so don't fret yet
just opinionate....
Massing is just right, so you cant 0 someones defense in 1 go, all that means is, you cannot mass someone into the ground while they are offline, as if the player was online you wouldnt 0 them anyway, so this update did hurt all the players that will wait until someone is offline to mass them rather than take them out in an online battle, i never once seen some of these people complaining its to expensive now, when they could mass a defense down with little to no losses, saying it was to cheap, nuff said.
Sabbing is about spot on, had the game moved correctly 3 years ago we would have been at this point, the problem now is some who preferred to use 2000 x 1AT to mass someone down can be easily sabbed out now because they havent invested in there covert level, this update also hammered snipers into the ground, the 4% i think is fine, but it may need some tweaking as i have seen some people say they sabbed out an entire 10trill defense, maybe make it that as your doing more damage on sab now, increase it to 5% max weapons, but lose 10-15% covert agents on sab, instead of the current 5% ((( waits for the crying to begin ))) this would make sabbing as expensive as massing in the long run.
Houses, i still think that houses should have been just a way to group alliances into Empires, rather than bonus.
3AT rule great, it doesnt stop some people using 800 x 3 AT's but its something, at least its stopped the 2000 x 1 AT take no damage snipers.
All of these updates would have come in eventually had the game been updated as it grew, if it had been done back when it should have been done, you wouldnt have so many over 500mill armies, or long drawn out boring wars, its only because its sudden, and you have all been used to it being so easy for far to long that some dont like it.
I still believe perg should be set that you can only enter there twice per year, then you are removed for 6 months, its way to easy for someone to sit in there in the top 100 getting the GnR then ascend, without ever having to worry.
Deep within Noob Cave, you find a strange pool filled with a glowing blue liquid. You think back to what your mother told you about unfamiliar liquids found in caves.
You're pretty sure she said "Drink it! What's the worst that can happen?"
