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 to read and forward it! Thanks! -Mai

I really think this is a stupid idea. Sorry to be so blunt. There are enough war games out there already. SimCity BuildIt is already hard enough to play what with challenges every three or four days. Couple that with trying to grow your city, Vu challenges, an inability to search other cities for goods for sale makes for an already challenging game. I will be closing down my club and quitting the game. As I said, there are enough wa games out there already; there's no need to make this into one too.

Agree."Stop the War".We have been playing for a couple years and given EA lots of money. Have talked other people into playing. No longer.Get us out of War!I don't want War in my mind, in my family, in my city, in my country or in the world.I am quitting, but not quietly.

War is always a bad idea!Forcing me to be in War was very bad.How can I play without War?You won't even let me leave the club that accidentally got in a war.Friends, family and I have given EA money and don't want War. Get us a way to play without war or lose us.

I started playing this game because I wanted to build a city and that is still the case. I understand the need to add new features but I really do not like club wars. If I wanted to play a war game I would download one but this game is about the fun of finishing challenges, upgrades etc. Please remove this feature.

EA,Way to go, you have got to be kidding me. Evidently the competition is getting the best of you.This new idea of launching wars is insane.First of all for those of us that are against war, fighting, killing and do not believe in it - this is the wrong direction to take our nonviolent game.Second, if you wanted to compete with all the other war games out there why didn't you launch a totally different game?Perhaps Sim I hate people, I want to fight, City War.Third - not everyone that lives in America has to be a "cowboy". And last but not least - for those of us that are trying to teach our children that fighting, hatred and killing is not the way to a better life, you certainly are on the other side of the fence now.Obviously you are running out of ideas for this game. But if you had been listening to us all along - there are plenty of good ideas out there from players that have posted them on this forum. Could you find it in your way of doing business to break away our once peaceful city game away from this ludicrous ideal of war?sm-t701

To either unlock or upgrade disasters requires disaster-cards. But their acquisition is purely a matter of luck and unrelated to either skill, strategy or teamwork. I fought in two Club Wars, helped win them both. This resulted in NO new disasters unlocked or upgraded. Why? Because disaster-cards are acquired purely as a matter of chance. For example, my second Club Wars resulted in six war chests - three bronze and three silver. Only one of them delivered any disaster cards. The other five delivered small amounts of cash or golden tickets. Who Cares ?? That one chest delivered four cyan colored disaster cards which were automatically allocated to one Extra-Large class disaster. I had no choice in the matter. There was no bonus whatsoever for winning either one of those two wars - Nothing. Accordingly, I will no longer participate in this worthless scam. I will however take Contest of Mayors assignments that require the collection of war items or the odd attack against a target club and only because the plumbob points reward is not inconsiderable. Oh Yeah - and I have figured out precisely what EA's objective is behind this scam as well.

The spam needs to stop. Seriously. I HAVE to click through the rewards screen even though I didn't participate, I keep getting 'war news' updates that I don't care for, but have to click through if I want to be able to access my club chat.. it's just way too INVASIVE a feature if you're not interested in it (plus the contest assignments).
I don't participate because I just don't have the storage pace or money to get the 25 items I need to get enough points to get the rewards in the first place. My city got attacked... didn't mind it too much, I got paid more than the resources it took to fix it cost.. but really, it's a waste of Simoleons, resources, time, and storage, to participate in that war in the first place... but you can't just opt out and forget it's there.
And yeah, I have no interest in war games, or I'd be playing one.

The problem with the war is that it isn't fun...
Too hard to get the war items..
And when you get them, they are items that you don't need..
It is really frustrating.

As SevenLuckyNumber says: Club Wars make no fun. I got more than 50 war items. The most of them are used in desasters which are still locked. The only unlocked Desasters need Propeller and Megaphone. But these items are not available for hours. It appears the order in wich the items are made available is NOT randomly.
Yesterday many Desasters were comming over my City which is generally no problem but if i am not able to strike back it will be frustrating.
I hope the logic of the game will be modified otherwise I must leave the club to protect my City.

I understand your argument and there is a lot of tweeking that should be done to improve the war game addition.
Our club works as a team to distribute the war items that apply to each others attacks, all items can be used by distributing them throughout club members.
This is truly a team activity designed to get club members communicating and working together. Our club has almost mastered this concept to the extent that we have become a Simnation. No more waiting to build items and Simolions flow is through the roof without having to use GH. It took time using the chat to get the ball rolling but this mutiplayer game of chess is a blast if you work at it.

I agree, there should be simolion reward for the items collected in the war shipments. All items can be used within the club, if you obtain items you can't use hit the club chat and sell them to the members that can use them. Every individual player has different items for their attack so work together as this "war" addition was designed.

The logic in the creation of the war addition is work together, Talk to your team and sell/trade your war items. This has been a multiplayer game for a long time but clubs haven't used this function to it full potential and this great mutiplayer game if chess is made to be played as a team.
We have new members that have left clubs because they wanted to play in some battles and due to our great team of players we get comments like "best club ever" and "I didn't know this game could be this much fun" and "working as a team makes this game move faster than I can". Teamwork makes this game legendary and trust me, once you start exporting extra goods to GH as a group and stop importing to speed things up you will have a 100k simolion float like most of our members.
If your that upset about the functions of the "war" addition and can't bring your club together as a team. Simcity Buildit work perfect offline and you can build your city offline while the war carries on, once the war period is over, reconnect and all is well. No pop ups, no building being destroyed but no really good rewards either.

@R3AL4R3AL Thank you for your insight how your club works and that teamwork is the key to success. This encourages me.
Do you know the other club members personally or do you know them only through the SC-club?

Hey @Raetselfreund
To answer your question about personal relationships no, non of us have ever had any contact before playing Simcity. But a few of the members including myself started chating in the club chat and things took off, bigtime. Currently we are working on a 100% global import free plan and the building of our Simnation where all items should be available anytime but we are just starting, some testing and time is needed.
I have also brought the idea of bringing in external players from other clubs to show them hands on how we do things during a single battle to show olayers hands on how much fun this addition can be but all our members need to approve this idea before I can post it in the fourm. Feedback so far is all in favour but I'll return with an update.
I really appreciate the positive outlook and I hope that more players and clubs can see that EA is really onto something here and it's just not catching on, yet.
Have fun out there in Simland, because that's why we game!

Sorry for almost spamming this topic Mia but players aren't getting it. Site defualt should also be new posts first but it's set up the other way around btw.

I hear you @arale999 Our team thought exactly the same things but...
The war items are different for other club members you need to work together and fill as many if the war shipment crates as you can. Items you can't use place them in your trade centre hit the chat and tell the other members that you have war items for sale, if your members watch the chat they will fly out of your store like your selling a dozer bucket on the global market.
This is a full on team addition, you need to talk to each other, work out plans, buy/sell/trade war items and city items to the other members in your club. If you don't work as a team you will end up like most of our opponents, lossing by a giant margin. Drop the stranger danger and hit the chat!
EA has designed a great multiplayer addition simmilar in violence level as a game of chess but far more difficult due to the team aspect. Sad to say but most clubs haven't worked at working as a team and/or playing together and believe me it's your loss.
And in repect to your thoughts on starting the war process I dissagree. The lowest member in your club should be able to start the war process just in case the "higher up" members aren't available to do so. The rewards are super and we can't wait until the 12 hour pre-war timer finishes.
I assume your a leader in your club? To enjoy this activity you will need to step up and create a team enviroment where everyone is valuable no matter the level or population and get everyone working as a team. The club chat should be so busy it lags when you open it.
Currently our plan to defeat our opponent is to attack the president over and over until the "useless" war items pack his/her inventory to the point that repairs are impossible. This might seem dirty to some but we do this in an attempt to have this player ask another club member to take the war items he/she can't use and maybe someone will find out that by distributing these war items throughout the club they will all get used up in attacks. Then maybe, finally we will have an opponent that will put up a bit if a fight.
Check out the screen shot of our current battle and we are only half way through with these guys no team effort at all. Chat is likely dead and they are paying for it on the score board. Aka, lame duck.
Please try to have fun in Simland because that's why we game.
