EA Staff
Taking away their energy still gives them the final hours to stay domed. Perhaps clubs that wait it out under the dome should be flagged and banned from the next three wars.
There are too many unfair things about this game. This forum is a text book on.them. It’s a shame because this game could be great if EA would only listen to the suggestions here.
Honestly guys the issue is complex but the solution is simple. With EA’s commitment to international play (which personally I like) it introduces the time zone variances into the equation. In addition not everyone lives to play this game, some have to support the economy by working while others are preparing themselves through educational opportunities. Folks need to sleep, eat and pay attention to their personal hygiene. I understand and share in the frustration, I thinking hiding is despicable and cowardly. Problem is we have too many folks so absorbed that want to constantly shoot that they want to discontinue with the bubble altogether or set unrealistic recovery times based on the parameters.
My suggestion for months has been an 18 hour rule and I know the war clubs don’t like it...but it is reasonable and fair. I honestly believe it’s much more fair than what we have today. I do like the penalty rule where you can participate for the next 3 wars or perhaps individually you forfeit the team chest and personal chest if you sit in the bubble for X amount of hours during the war and the club loses your contributed points. Might force a change in philosophy.
My suggestion (which I've made more than once on this site) is a 12-hour time limit for shields.
This allows for potentially up to 3x attacks on every opponent city per 36-hour war.
18 hours is a bit too stingy.
But having no limit is not working. It is frustrating individuals and teams.
I know why EA allows it. Strangling growth by denying fighting means we all "earn" less free reward chests. So it means we have to reach into our wallets and purchase disaster cards if we want to upgrade our disasters more quickly.
I get it. But what EA fails to grasp, is that there is a very fine balance between monetizing the game, and killing the fun. They've been killing the fun since the introduction of wars in October 2017 because of the unlimited shield. Please put in a timer, which has been heavily demanded by your clients. And please make it 12 hours, not 18.
Thanks,
