Re: Club wars - Feedback

Hi lelik19900,

Even though it may be considered a smart strategy, EA has ruled that feeder cities are not legal. I pressed the issue because my guys were prepared to level the playing field so to speak and I wanted to make sure we stayed within the rules. Personally it doesn’t matter to me (other than the ruling) - I can barely maintain one city.

    Pinnacle-

    I appreciate you clarifying that feeder cities are illegal, I was considering doing that since I see so many clubs doing it but want to play fair. What’s ticking me off is this magnetism cheat that seems to be well known and EA has done nothing about yet.

    We just matched up against a club 50 Star points below us for the 2nd time in the last 3 wars. We won by 500 points by getting the lead in the last few seconds at least, however.....

    What’s frustrating is that their top 2 players used nothing but magnetism the whole war, their 3 & 4 scorers used a few others, but also mainly 16 ton attacks. NOBODY can get that many hydrants in a war. I checked the logs, between the 4 players they’d of needed well over 200 hydrants to pull it off. I don’t care if you have 25 members playing 24/7 skipping every order, that’s still basically impossible to get that many, especially when half their club has no score and isn’t repairing!

    I won’t drop the other clubs name or attach a screen shot of them that I sent when I reported the club, but will say it’s in the Russian alphabet keyboard and their name ends with. :-))).....watch out for these cheaters, the other one was an overseas club as well from the same part of the world based on the members names.

    I’ve now filed multiple complaints about this, it’s happened 2 of the last 3 wars. Both times the clubs were 50+ star ranks beneath us, but both times we barely won. I legitimately put up 24k & my gf did about 15k so I could keep up with the cheaters, luckily my members held off their players playing by the rules. Still, we had to be online way more, spend more simoleons filling orders to keep up and shouldn’t have to do that for cheaters. Yes to keep up with a good club playing fair, but not for that! Having to put up 130k-140k to win a war against an active club, sure, but to keep up with cheaters is ridiculous. Give them a warning, if it continues, shut their accounts down before you start losing players.

    I’ve spent money buying war cards & wont spend another dime till it’s fixed. What’s the point in paying to upgrade my attacks if others can just cheat and do it for free?🤦‍♂️

    If anyone wants to join a LEGIT club that plays by the rules and still kicks butt, come join Actives War Zone, averaging about 140k per war😎
  • Before I start I would like to give a shout out to the club Psychonauts...they were outmanned 6 vs.10 and showed tremendous heart and brought the battle to us even when the outcome was never in question. They could have easily bubbled but they didn’t and we kept firing so they could earn more war items. Congratulations to your team you represent yourselves well.

    Sorry Humboldt, needed to pay proper respect. Glad to hear you guys play it straight and look forward to seeing you when EA cleans up this mess. It didn’t take long to figure out what this game would erode to - we elect to play once a week, strictly voluntary and enjoy the experience. Until this week we’ve always been outnumbered...we have a tremendous nucleus and I believe in a fair fight we’d hold our own. I just can’t begin to phathom why anyone would invest the resources and energy they do to win a war game.

    I’m old school, this is your final warning, cease and desist or we’ll proceed to shutdown all your accounts. If I was left in charge for a day, this warning would be for all teams the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some clubs like yours and mine would relish it, some clubs straddling the fence would be very leary, and some just don’t care...they’ll never get them. I wish you and your guys good luck...may you not cross paths with another cheater.

    Just ran across our first war with the oppo team running to a big head start and then just shutting it down once all of their cities were under the shiled.  I want to see a penalty for inactivity (especially for clubs at a high enought leverl) or some message board where I can call them out for being cowards.  Gold Wing Warriors are cowards.

    I can understand your frustration. Bubble hiders and cheaters really ruin a good game for us.

    As I had said before, it is great to win, but more importantly, we are entitled to the fun of playing club wars. My team had fought another club with final score 165k vs 180k. In case you are wondering, we are the ones with 165k score. It was a great fight nonetheless, and I totally respect those guys from Texas for putting in their all and fighting all the way till the end of war. They could jolly well stay in shield when they had the lead, but they didn’t. It was a win-win situation for both sides, sort of, as we still gotten the chests we wanted.

    Fighting bubble hiders is especially unfulfilling, even more so than fighting cheaters since we can hardly get anything out of the fight. Until EA bothers to look into this (I’m not sure if they ever do since the most pressing lag problem is not even resolved yet), we just have to somehow make do with it and think of ways to circumvent it.
