Droneage?

[Brabje]

Dear team, lets introduce Drone age as soon as possible. Its time for something new. I am fed up updating walls. waiting 17 days for a building to level does not help either. Don’t worry about bugs. I play around them. Thanks and have a great day.

Looks like we've reached the acceptance of mediocrity way of thinking.

If you don't like waiting 17 days for current upgrades then I have some bad news for you in Drone age .....

 

[oddin]

i wish it was only 17d.... current upgrade (max redoubts) takes 18d

Is this the example of perfect sarcasm?
Geez, there is enough content already! The game requires many months or even years before a new player will become viable in WWs (from my point of view it's Atomic Age with maxed-out planes and HT/Commando/Bazooka troops).
What about to balance other troops (at least factory ones) to good enough condition to compete with HT/Commando/Bazooka? APC, Tactical heli, MRL are completely useless for everyone. Nation rebalance?

 

[King Crimson]

Factory troops don't need rebalancing, Barracks troops definitely need it. It's ridiculous that a tank doesn't behave like a tank - and a long range vehicle like artillery doesn't have any longer range than a rifleman.

 

[Uhuru]

Dear team, lets introduce Drone age never. We don't need meaningless regular levels of buildings and troops. Work on a balanced and bug-free gameplay in the available ages.

While you're right that the game has plenty of content and doesn't need a new age right away, the statement above isn't true. I was making useful war attacks and defenses for my alliance from Medieval Age onwards. Anyone who can clear same-age bases and have a good enough layout and defenses to make higher age players drop down to clear them can do the same.

 

[King Crimson]

The game needs a new twist - other than wars cause not everyone fights wars. If Drone age - as we all suspect - is just going to be another age with the same raid, loot, start upgrade, wait 2-3 weeks, repeat mechanics then there's no point age-ing up. Why should I bother when I can max rss every 2 days? Boring. There's nothing new inside my base that keeps me interested when I'm waiting weeks for upgrades to finish. Even the new Triumph/leaderboard system is just more of the same but I'm willing to wait and see.
Otherwise I'll just leave my rss where they are for easy looting and won't even bother logging in.

 

[oddin]

a new war mode would be nice....

something along the likes of risk that if you 5 star a base, you actually take the territory for your team etc

also, a faster war type would be nice. Teams of 5 battling every 12 hours (6 hours planning phase) instead of 23+24.

 

[Thebigtfish]

War leaderboard needs a shake up. Seasons would be nice where the top 50 alliances are grouped and down all the way. Reward the top alliances during the season. Relagate buttom 20%, promote top 20% from each group. This will keep things fresh and always new at the top. Reset glory every season.

 

[DUSTY1]

I have players asking, asking asking about Drone Age which has been hinted at for a long time. Is this something that is still being planned for roll-out?

 

[Leviathan1]

It's great to see so many players eager to get to Drone Age, but don't hold your breath just yet! We have some other surprises in store this year that we're excited to unveil first.
We'd also like to give an earlier heads up when we DO intend to release Drone Age, so more players can be prepared.

 

[King Crimson]

Are the surprises actual surprises - or just things we've already done but with a twist?

 

[oddin]

1. solve long lasting bugs and others that were supposedly fixed but they were not in reality
2. then release Drone age

 

[GeeGee]

Parliament has more branches to add. The Library has a new wing to add. Are these the surprises you are planning add before Drone Age? Please tell me you are not planning yet another rebalance. The game can’t really take yet more needs to meta units.

 

[theBobNamedDan]

Leviathan please tell us it is a 3rd armory slot!

 

[oddin]

oh yes... we would all like that!

 

[domifan]

I’ll truly be surprised if it’s not another P2W feature
