EA StaffThe problem with teams hiding behind the shield is one that has been confronting our team lately. We have a large team and when we oppose a smaller team they have been jumping ahead then hiding under a shield for the remainder of the war. A change to war playing is needed.
We have several suggestions:
1. Limit the length of time a City is able to be continuously shielded. Example could be 25 to 50 percent of the total length of the war.
2. When matching teams for a war pair them not only based on team points but also team size. If this is done at least at the lower levels, 1 through 5, it would make the games much more competitive.
With four new attacks the war store, personal chests, and purchase packs need an adjustment. Magnetism remains the most efficient attack, so the availability of its cards (and other older cards) is essential to development. The problem is these new attacks will displace what could have been Magnetism cards providing a legacy advantage to older players / penalty to new players. That’s bad for the long term health of any game. Simple solutions might include increasing the number of cards dropped in personal chests by about 25%, for war store either add a 4th slot or decrease the refresh timer, and add a few more cards to each premium pack.
Maybe it's too long. Let's try it like this...
I'm president of a mid-level club (savannah arena) that plays for fun before a win so please consider my comments from that perspective. I don't really care what happens in the top arena, though I'm sure others do. Either way I don't need to explain how tedious it has become fighting teams that go under bubbles and sit it out. What I don't understand is why EA don't fix it. So, whatever good it may do, here's my suggestion:
