Club wars - Feedback

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.

Hey 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? 

Thank you PinnacleValley.

In club wars maybe have a time limit to how long an enemy city can remain under their shield.  It get frustrating when the enemy stays under their shield the entire war so you can’t attack.

As someone who was recruited into an inactive club right around the time club wars started, I have enjoyed the game including the wars. Even loving those last second wins, when I was out of war items, and one of the hits from an opponent, gave me the item needed to hit and win the war with seconds to go. Due to an inactive president and other members not interested as much in war, I moved on. Then, I eventually went to a new team, who I play with now and have been with since the day they created the team. So we started at the bottom literally, over the last few months of playing with them, we faced one club with a hacker. Thankfully none since, but we have found many that grab early leads and stay in bubble. This makes for a boring war, and takes all the fun out of it. I would like to see an expiration on bubbles, I think 18 hrs is fair, if you haven’t repaired, everything goes back to normal, like at the end of war, all green and ready for more hits. EA wants to make money, I get that, but do u think we will continue buying club packs, when war is no longer fun. I laugh now when I see them, why bother paying when your efforts are not rewarded by a fair hard fought war. My club has had 3 wars recently, where our opponents just grab early lead and sit bubbled. Anyway, I hope EA allows the bubbles to expire during war, with a 18 hr expiration. Otherwise, it’s 36 hours of boredom, and players becoming no longer interested in club wars or no longer caring either way, which is how I am starting to feel. If EA doesn’t care to address this, I think I’ll keep my credit card in my wallet.
