Reduce pay2win: Nerf Elephant Archers & Bazooka Tower

[MartinK12]

I agree. They could build a bigger player base without P2W model and still make more money, but they greed is so obvious right now that I'm not longer interested in buying things from them

Well said Veldan. Perhaps an edited comment or three might ''say more'' than just changing the star rating.

Bump for visibility .. this is killing the game for every alliance on every level

 

[Prodigal Clint]

Anytime : )

Bazooka Tower.... Maybe they could nerf it heavily and make it available to those wanting to pay with gold? I'm not to keen on the Bazooka Tower. Definitely know the Elephant Archers need a nerf. Won battles that I should've lost with them.

 

[MartinK12]

Knowing BHG they will nerf it all so much that that the game will be unplayable

Yes, you told us the same in the patch notes preview a few weeks ago. The real question is will we actually get any sort of response? Thats all I want to know, if possible

Nb4powerup any other info from the feedback you delivered to BHG team?

I'll be honest, when I saw elephant archers on sale yet again today, it just made me feel like we're all getting trolled lol. I dont mind troop sales you need to make money, but like Max stated in the OP....these troops are far out of balance from others. How many EA you can load in SH has been the only deciding factor in so many late age wars, its really bad.

It's obvious they are trolling us. We complain about bazooka towers, then they sell them a week later. We complain how OP elephant archers are in war, they quickly offer them with Marco Polo and now by purchase. An outside observer could easily come to the conclusion that they are intentionally driving players away.

Here is a thought. Most of the complaints about this are coming from players within higher levels within the top 100 leaderboards or somewhere near that. Maybe, just maybe Nexon hears the frustrations from us and has calculated that these sales are big alliance killers. I bet the majority of players buying these are lower level players within lower level glory alliances who buy an edge.Maybe they buy them to gain an edge against the higher levels. Maybe Nexon thinks these sales will help even the field against the many higher level sandbaggers. Think about it, the more we complain the more they do more of what we're complaining about. I realize this thought process may seem psychedelic, but strategies within the business world are often complex.

And they added Yumi samurai stable which is pretty much another p2w building you can add along bazooka towers and elephant archers in stronghold.

I think strike fighters are too cheap as they are. I absolutely, adamantly, DON'T want Nexon to reduce their cost of oil by a further 70%!!

I would argue most lower level players you mention in your post are probably not spending the money on these items like the big players in big alliances are doing. Usually people spending money are advancing quickly as well.
