Club wars - Feedback

Mmmmmm do you have an eta for response to all this feedback?  I don’t want to lose good mayors inmy club.  It is an excellent club with a lot of positive engagement.  Everyone helps each other out.  We did not come to play war or be associated with a war game.  This seems consistent with the pages of feedback you have received.  I know my club and myself are not alone in these sentiments.  Move on and meet the interests of your players, or lose them.  Greed will not win in this situation.  Go develop a war game if you must - although it would be hard to trump the real war games playing out across the planet, wouldn’t it?  Just stop. Roll it back.  Any responsible development team has a roll back strategy in place in case something goes wrong.  From my vantage point, be decisive and roll it back with an apology.  Or keep on and lose players and revenue and your job.  Seems like a simple choice to me.

My vp inadvertantly lauched a war during the turtorial.  Most of us hadn’t even gotten the upgrade yet.  I felt bad for the other club.  Since we launched the attack, a few decided to explore what this was all about.  It was a MUCH smaller club with MUCH smaller cities.  I felt like a bully club and hated it.  We will not be participating in more launches but feel like we hav e to be prepared to defend.  In short, Club Namaste agrees. I wish there was a way to apologize to the club we launched against.

Totally agree

Shame on you!

i am so bitterly disappointed with the introduction of your "club wars"update. The game was one of the most compelling to play in it's original concept, creating a city, working collaboratively with others and enjoying the rewards of expanding your own creation.

If I wanted to play a war based game I would have chosen to download any number of them, not having it forced on one's self. Your development team have managed to ruin a great game. There is enough negatively in this world, enough violence and bigotry! We don't need and I don't want them in the games I choose to play.

What has happened to the creativity within your development team is utterly disappointing, there have been a huge number of fun and collaborative ideas for future game expansion, yet you have failed completely with this.

Rather than destroy you could have easily developed a fun and enjoyable experience working with your clubs to create, nurture and grow, for example an expo village. Yet this simple idea of working together for success is beyond you.

STOP, think about what you have lost, and what you could have done to create a positive team experience!

I have read through this thread and the overwhelming feedback is negative, but if you go back and read other threads the anticipation was also overwhelming. I understand and clearly appreciate the sentiments and genuine concern shared throughout this thread. I’m not interested in getting into a moral or political conversation - my goal is to offer a potential solution to the dilemma EA is faced with. Remove the ability to start a war from the tutorial and provide a button for the President and VP’s that allows those who choose to engage in battle to join the fray - do not put cities in harms way (put the shield over them) that elect not to play. If your club collectively chooses not to participate then don’t press the button and focus on the parts of the game you and your club enjoys.

I would suggest that EA research an alternative to war - the Expo suggestion has true merit or perhaps some type of olympics that allows clubs to interact which is the intent of the war games. This would provide a positive choice to folks and help retain mayors and revenue generated through advertising which is the crux of the business decision. Thanks.

Salut,

Pour moi le soucis, c'est de lier le concours des maires et des guerres.

Bonjour je vais traduire en Anglais du mieux que je peux. Merci et passez une bonne juvrnee. 🙂

My French is very rusty but ditif15 stated (loosely translated) “For me the worry is to link the contest of mayors and war“ 

I would love to be able to opt out of wars. It's completely pointless.
