fix the tank raid please

+1 haha yes! Plz fix

Playing this raid is one of the worst tortures the game developers could put us through. No one can stand to wait 2-3 seconds for each canon to fire. Every round takes forever, and I'm not talking about the completion time (that takes forever as well), I'm talking about the animation. Everyone I know is complaining. Do something about it EA.

PS: GW is also taking forever to complete. This game is becoming a nuisance, people with jobs and a social life aren't being able to play anymore.

I fully agree. They should add a huge red button right smack in the middle of the screen that would automatically complete all the daily tasks for you when you press it: challenges, arena (automatically granting you first place, naturally), GW, cantina (40 shards daily AT LEAST!), hard mode battles and raids. You open the app, press the button and go on about your business...

On a more serious note, while I agree with the part about the long tank animations, GW is not that big a deal. I usually do it on the bus to/from work, sometimes I spend a few minutes in the evening and I finish it daily. The whole thing takes what, 30-40 minutes? Maybe from time to time it takes about 50 minutes to an hour tops when the final nodes are lvl 82+ and have RG who can take forever to bring down. And yes, I have a family, I have a social life and I have a job.

They need to rebalance this raid before ships are released. Normal is such a boring slog in its current form

I'm more worried about HOW they are going to fix this raid then IF they are going to fix it.

From some of the youtubers that have visited EA/CG, I get the feeling that they will add another tier to the tank raid, to cater to the lower level guilds. Though a fine solution for those guilds, offer just this would only make matters worse for higher level guilds. It creates more arguments on what raid to do and top players will be pushed to leave towards whale-guilds even more (or starting players are cut in favor for more advanced players).

The additional fix we need is simple:
Balance the raid so that you can finish it with 30 maxed players (all doing 3% dmg per phase), rather then 50. This way, players that don't have at least 4 fully maxed out squads aren't considered dead weight and kicked from their guilds. Also, it allows for specialisation within the guild, with one player focusing on phases 1 and 3 and others taking care of 2 and 4 for instance

If they do this, EA/CG show that they do care for the non-whales and I'm sure all complaints will quickly die away.

If it takes a full hour to do that one single activity everyday (same here), then something IS wrong. If you don't see that, then maybe you're not paying attention to your life as you should - or maybe you are, and that's exactly why you seek refuge in the game, but hey, that's none of my business I don't wanna hear about your boring bus routine.

Anyway... I haven't even talked about wednesdays, when most people have 3 GW to do if they wanna get 36 nodes, which would ammount to what? 3 hours of gameplay in a single activity? And on top of that, there's this boring new raid....Seriously, get a life..... This is a mobile game and EA is alienating their base players.

There's very little wrong with it. It's a great place to test out unlikely combinations and find new synergies. It's not the auto slug fest that the pit has become. It's new, unique, and a good challenge!

+1.

Where do I sign?

Remove the tank raid

Seriously. The tank raid takes *forever*, and those animations are twice as slow as they should be. I spend 90% of my time in the raid waiting for those tank animations to finish and then 10% actually playing. My phone screen literally goes to sleep before I can take a turn.

In short, the tank raid is NOT fun. And people don't play this game to not have fun. My guild members are saying that doing their tank raid attemps feels like taking medicine every day: they know they should, but they hate it. Please fix.
