Shield buster - the most stupid improvement in the game

Shield buster is the worst improvement in the game ever!!! No more chance to win if you are not a hacker or if you don't play 24 hours. Umbrella buster is useless now. I activate umbrella buster and ...

    Hacking has ruined the game.  It’s bad, VERY BAD, and goes on unchecked.  This needs to be dealt with in a serious manner EA.  I’m thinking New Years resolution: either you fix the problem your way or my paying account fixes the problem my way.  Driving paying CoM customers into the arms of hackers is added insult.  It’s as if someone senior on the dev team is pro-hacker.

    Shield buster is just an “I win” button for hackers.  They have endless war items and throw it and magnetism around endlessly with their hacked level 15 attacks in their hacked low level cities with all 5 regions unlocked.  You broke your own game, EA.  FIX IT.

@majakovskibg I understand the frustration you experience from hackers and cheaters which must be addressed but your suggestion reverts the game back to hide and seek nonsense which is absolutely not a strategy just a ridiculous approach from folks that lack the creativity and talent to compete. This “strategy” cost the game hundreds of players and finally something was done to correct the situation. No it’s not perfect, there needs to be limits placed on how often the shield buster can used per war and limit the number of times it can be used on a specific city...but the feedback I’ve heard (excluding the hackers and cheaters involved contests) has been very positive.

    @PinnacleValley limit hurts big teams, which is the only way to beat hackers, unless they have unlimited resources which seems to be the case last 4 wars I was in

    May be done playing finally

      @Duckups  If I understand correctly it’s because you’re playing hackers...how was your experience playing an honest team?

        @PinnacleValley yes, 4 in a row. 3 to 6 strong players, with a few level 1 war levels rounding out the teams and all russian.

        Last decent team we played was a wonderful war. We all went broke. But 1 good war out of 5. Waste of weeks
