So 80,000 hp bunker tanks. Perfect.

 

[KingCally]

WTF!!! So now base bunker HTs can just chew through our army HTs???

 

[BeerMan]

To summarize, 100% HP buff for defenders, 30% damage buff. Those HT defenders aren't going to be fun...

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Anybody found some spare marbles laying around anywhere? Because this development team has clearly lost theirs.

 

[Xabar]

Well. Is a considerable change. In principle, I think that is good. But what is going to happen in the forum, now. All the people that waste years improving defenses, will be very happy,because their effort paid off. While the players who only improved attack because with some reason at the time less defended the defense and wanted to move rushing thow the game, they will be angry, scared, and leave thousands of post insulting nexon and eneojndose with those who are happy.

 

[Blood]

That’s fracking base dmg that can be buffed by 30%. 108,160 hp and 4,010 dmg

 

[yemen]

Still don't see why this didn't come out with the original notes.
HT mk5 defenders get the new stats, plus 40% boost to damage (library and selassie) and 30% boost to HP with maxed Selassie. 108khp, and 4.3kdps. Assuming you actually released dps numbers this time, and not damage per shot.
HT Mk7s with maxed out Leo research have just over half of that HP (57k) and only 15% more dps. So head to head, a maxed out MK7 will lose to a mk5. How bad at math are you guys? That is just ridiculous.

And we still have no way to see any of these defender numbers in game. Before, we could assume they were the same base as the offensive units, with different boosts. Are we supposed to tell all new players to come to the forums to see how their defenders work now?

This back and forth seesaw of a rebalance is really dumb. And you still haven't gotten rid of EAs, so the spenders can still win. Yay.

 

[NateTheGreat]

Here's the Rundown
Reminder stage 2 patch had 2.5x hp to defensive buildings

Offensive Units
Barrage 2x, still not enough
Machine gun 1.25x dmg/ 1.57x hp, not enough to offset 2x defender Hp
Bazooka 1.3x dmg / 1.3x hp, not enough to offset 2x defender Hp
No buff for ranged infantry, heavy infantry, artillery, heavy cavalry? Hmm...

Defensive Units
Hvy. Infantry 1.3x dmg/ 2x hp
Ranged 1.3x dmg/ 2x hp
Tank 1.3 dmg / 2x hp
Heavy Tank 1.3 dmg / 2x hp, 80,000 hp bunker HT??? Are you crazy?
RPG 1.3 dmg / 2x hp

 

[cos_pi]

Defender HP doubled,
Plane Damage Doubled.

Elephant Archer Untouched.

Net outcome: Elephant archers are nerfed. Who said they don't listen to the community.

 

[oddin]

these two lines say all we need to know:

Heavy Tank Mk4	2,373	1,825	64,000	32,000
Heavy Tank Mk5	3,085	2,373	83,200	41,600

OMG!!!

 

[BeerMan]

They're saving the EA buff for stage 4...

 

[cos_pi]

This is fine as they are trying to buff defence over offence, if they increase everything by a factor of 2, wouldn't that be a worthless activity.

I think its absolutely fine to increase defense by more factor than offense. Ultimately their goal is to reduce 5* victories and they are going in right direction to achieve their goal(now you can argue if it is a useful goal or not).

 

[cos_pi]

but yeah, bye bye multiplayer

 

[yemen]

Also, APCs and all barracks troops are nerfed. Plus decoys are nerfed. They don't listen to the community.

 

[Blood]

I didn’t rush anything my base won 95% of attack’s before the rebalancing. My offense and defense were great. The anger is because they are not listening and making changes to the game to try to force people to spend more money at the expense of enjoyable game play.

 

[NateTheGreat]

All I see is
Less attacks
= = Less Nat. goods --> Less coals
= = Less diamonds --> Less merc
= = = = Less Wars
= = = = Less fun
= = = = = = = = Less players.......
Bye bye DomiNations. Bye Bye BGH

 

[No Angel]

I want to see Brad doing PVP in the live stream after this rebalance
Can you score 5, Brad?
*without troop cards. We all know people don't spend troop cards in PVP

 

[NateTheGreat]

Reminder stage 2 patch had 2.5x hp to defensive buildings

Offensive Units
Barrage 2x, not enough to offset previous building buff
--> use betrayal to steal those 80,000 hp HT defenders
Machine gun 1.25x dmg/ 1.57x hp, not enough to offset 2x defender Hp
Bazooka 1.3x dmg / 1.3x hp, not enough to offset 2x defender Hp
No buff for ranged infantry, heavy infantry, artillery, heavy cavalry, APC? Hmm...

Defensive Units
Hvy. Infantry 1.3x dmg/ 2x hp
Ranged 1.3x dmg/ 2x hp
Tank 1.3 dmg / 2x hp
Heavy Tank 1.3 dmg / 2x hp, 80,000 hp bunker HT??? Are you crazy?
RPG 1.3 dmg / 2x hp

 

[Xabar]

I think that is the only way that they found to stop the time cheaters. If the wars are always defined by numbers of stars, the battle time is not important, and the bug o cheat is obsolete.
