EA StaffClub wars - Feedback
Hello Mayors,
Today SimCity BuildIt was updated with a new feature - Club Wars.
Do you have any feedback to share about Club Wars with the game team? Please, use this thread, we will be happy ...
Forum Discussion
FEEDBACK: Please limit shields. We are a Top 100 club (was actually top 10 once), and have come across multiple wars recently where an opposing club got an early lead, and once all their cities were bubbled, remained there the rest of the war. We are currently in a war (see screenshot) with Crimson Warriors where absolutely no activity has happened in the war since the first 2-3 hours of the war. Additionally, they hit us 87 times with Magnets vs. 10 non-magnet attacks (most Comic Hand). I’m over the hacking thing, and while EA has removed some groups and players due to hacking, it’s a big issue. My feedback here, though, is the shields. Having opponents get out to a small early lead, only to shield and hide the remainder of the war is really frustrating. You brought wars into the game, so please give us a chance to FIGHT! My suggestion here would be to limit shields to a max of 12 hours to stimulate more participation. Being a top 100 club, and sitting out the entire war because the other team refuses to fight is no fun at all, and I assume NOT the way you intended wars to be conducted. If that suggestion does not hold merit, then enforce a minimal shield rule for the top 100ish clubs. I, for one, have enjoyed the war aspect of the game, but coming across wars like this multiple times is no fun at all.
- This was a nice simulation BEFORE club wars. MORE LAND. I've played SimCity and war games since the 70s.
Take the d $&^ war elsewhere EA.
1. there is ZERO war strategy
2. This is only a test of Inventory and build rate. Stupid. No thinking here.
3. I say to all to all you whiners about bubbling. lose it. Bubbling is the ONLY available tactic.
4. This is SOOOO far from a teal mp war game it's apathetic
5. Make a new sim EA
6. War gaming....always....always... creates team discontent.
7. Ditch the.War. Create more Land expansion.. hey let city mayors colonize a sister city
8. Open up Mars for Simcity Mayors
9. Mayors build SPACE SHIPS. Colonize new worldsHey George,
Been a little over a month since you requested more land which I agreed with (stilll do) and since you termed my use of the term “cowardly” as “pathetic” which I didn’t take any exception to...however I do believe it demonstrates the lack of creativity to assume the only strategy to win is turtling and the use of this strategy is pathetic and cowardly. No one is whining, we recognize it’s legal but the only time it should be considered is if a team has no energy or weapons left within the last hour after engaging in an intense battle. That’s why I proposed the 18 hour rule so if you’re afraid to come out no problem the dome will disappear for you. Of course for win at all cost clubs who do not have the courage to engage in what they signed up for would whine about this if it was implemented.
I take exception to the comment that war gaming...always...always...creates team discontent - I imagine you’re correct from the position of war clubs and turtle clubs, but from the position of clubs that participate in war games, maintain proper perspective, laugh, share and fellowship with each other it’s a rewarding experience. If you have not experienced the joy of a collective effort (win or lose), may I suggest you’re in the wrong club. Take care.
REPOST OF A REMOVED POST (don't worry Mai, I have toned down my language ;-) )
I am fast coming to the conclusion the Club Wars are a joke.
EA have really messed up.
There are so many Magnet teams it makes the whole thing a farce (we are currently playing our 3rd Magnet team in a row)
EA know the hack exists but seem to do nothing about it. These teams (even though reported) just continue to take the micky and hammer away with limitless magnets all day.
What's the point in playing?
- Kind of sad that when you thought you are fighting the strongest teams, this kind of score turns up because of bubble hiders.
They are not warriors as they claimed themselves to be. And this opponent team looks fishy. Use of feeder cities, perhaps? Who in the world can find that many members with the same generic name? Report them to EA since using feeder cities is illegal.
But then again, I’m not sure if anything will be done about them. The Team Magnet and Team Feeder I had fought are still around, being in top 100 already.
Got to take it easy, I guess. Otherwise, it’s hard to continue playing lol
Sometimes losing may not be a bad thing, can go down the league to fight normal teams. But I do understand that not everyone can look at it this way. Many fight to win, I’d been through that phase. After fighting lots of battles and encountering all kinds of teams, I kind of take it easy. I do hope my worthy opponents feel the same way. I would vote for time-limited shield. We are fightink a similar group. They are sitting under the shield. We are sitting under the shield save one. They're afraid to attack. We have nothing to hit. Boooring. (Btw. we have more points.)
I propose that the shield stays for 3 hours for sure. Then with increasing probability it disappears someteime in the next 3 hours.
Eff, in all due respect 3 hours? - why even bother having shields...
I’m a big proponent for time limits and I think turtling for hours is ridiculous, but for those of us with lives outside this game, that work or go to school, that need sleep every now and then, that practice personal hygiene, this will not begin to work. After reviewing this topic with knowledgeable and thoughtful individuals the fairest proposal is 18 hours when you consider time zone differences. You get 2 shots at the bubble boys so make them count. The game needs to be fair for everyone.
