Club wars - Feedback

@J6niceL

No we are not in the top 100. Top 300-400 depending on whether we have just lost to a cheating club or not. We are capable of scoring 250K easily and more if the opposing team play fair (not cheating, not hiding) so we have aspirations of being a top 100 team. It's just that over the last 3 weeks we have been pitched against Magnet cheat teams 3 times who knock our team score back down. It takes a while to recover the team score from those wars.

My real issue with the cheaters is the lack of action (seemingly) from EA. We reported a team more than 3 weeks ago and they are still sitting happily in the Top 100 and presumably still hammering opponents with endless magnets. The war game is fundamentally flawed and it is VERY wrong of EA not to come out and say this to all the Simcity users. Even worse is that EA continue to sell war card upgrades for real money. This is pure EA greed. What's the point of spending money on card upgrades if they are ineffective against the cheating magnet clubs? 

Honestly EA, where is your conscience? 

Hey Pinnacle, 

So, just for the record.. been playing online gaming since 1972 (DARPNET) back in the day. SimCity since 89.  Microsoft Combat Flight simulator teams - 1, 2, 3.  IL2. EMPIRE.   I have a lot of collective win an lose, aggressive and less, team based experiences. A lot.

If your forming a team for gungho, or joining a team set up to be a gungho team - win win win.. I understand that.  Here, however, the Wars were interjected into a fairly passive game. SimCityBuildit on a scale of warring, is like barely a 1.5 on a 1-10 scale.  The primary winners are high population cities with massive inventories and build rates, all epics gold buildngs and some Omega, but those are less important now.

The warring is really a product life cycle extension for SimCity buildit. It is creative, and pretty and all of that.

I posted in another post, and would appreciate there, your view - on taking SimCity to space !

Build out our spaceports.

Build spaceships

Stock them

Go to a planet or farther

Sculpt and create your new Planetary Sim City -

Take care as well -

Hi George,

I think your concept is brilliant and I would like to see EA pursue it. More land to build on would be great, land on a distant planet would be awesome. I think it might be interesting to have a club gather together to collectively build the infrastructure to support space travel...add an uninhabited city and let the interested members work together to construct the spaceport, construct a spaceship(s), build facilities to manufacture support items, load the craft with supplies (maintaining weight limits) and journey into space in search of a planet to colonize. 

I think it’s a great idea...it continues the building and management theme at the core of the game, provides new challenges for seasoned veterans (you got me on SimCity - I’ve only been playing for 20 years), offers EA a fresh look that may bring back former players and excite new ones to give it a try. It really is a great concept.

Until of course some exec says hey we can incorporate the war game in it...we’ll call it Star Wars - oh that’s right...we’ll call it Simcity Buildit Space Conquest. 🙂 

Well done George, excellent suggestions. Take care.

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.
