fix the tank raid please

The tank raid animation is crazy slow. The fact is takes 4-5 days (some a lot longer) to finish on normal/boring mode is a joke. Could you imagine playing "normal" mode on Madden or FIFA and the game taking 2 hours to finish instead of 30-45 minutes for Madden and and 10-15 minutes for FIFA? I get Heroic should be Hard. Totally get that idea and the idea you need some guild coordination to finish it. Normal, shouldn't make you not want to play. It should make it, just like in the pit raid on 6, say man we are close...lets get some of these down so we can move up. Nope, it is holy crap maybe I will delete this app after a year because this isn't worth my time.

EA/CG forgot it was a phone/tablet game. It should be about convenience. Most people I know that play just sim their attacks because it is so long and boring. They do that because they have figured out what works but now they just have to get through the grind.

I enjoy GW because I try out crazy lineups to see what toons can do or what works. Like if it is droids I use jawas and move around leaders so I can see what works. As for arena, it is full convenience. I attack a few times through the day and a couple right before reset (now that is a little harder due to DST and it rolling back one hour).

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.

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.

You're complaining about 1 hour of content a day? Who cares if this is a mobile game, people have been screaming for more content and now that it's here they complain it's too much. No one is forcing you to complete 36 nodes of gw in a day, that's entirely up to you. And this new raid is definitely not boring, unless your roster isn't prepared for it which is understandable

Yes, there clearly is: you're playing the wrong game. GW is working as intended. It is GoH's equivalent of a "campaign" and it's supposed to take time. If it takes you an hour every day then you should try changing your team, because clearly the one you have is not enough.

Why? Just because I manage to find the time for the game and a normal life? ;)

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that that's the way forums work: you write stuff and people reply. However, if instead of possible solutions and suggestions all you want is a pat on the back, then... Yeah, you're absolutely right, I fully agree with you, definitely +1.

A single FULLY OPTIONAL activity. Don't know about your guild, ours requires only 12 nodes to be completed. No one is forcing you to do a full 3 rounds of GW.

Perhaps you simply need a break from the game? I'm not saying this to spite you or whatever, but maybe if what's supposed to be a fun activity becomes a chore, taking some time off might be a good idea.

I have never, EVER, played any game where raiding was fun. Leveling and exploring new areas-fun, arena-fun, grouping w/ friends-fun, finding really rare drops-fun, chatting in guild-fun. Raids have ALWAYS been a necessary evil to get gear where 1 mistake gets u yelled at, where failing to bring consumables can get u black-listed, where u better be at the top of your game or b replaced by someone that is.

Dunno why ppl want everything handed to them on a silver platter and don't understand that this game is intended to b a grind. Ppl compare their progress to whales and then snivel.

Sad what has become of our youth. Entitled, whiney snivelers thinking they r owed something that have 0 patience. Make this faster, give me more, blah blah blah.

Agree - this is not only dull but also infuriating. The bore factor does not stimulate me to try and push my roster to improve in this portion of the game. It's laughable how difficult and imbalanaced this is. Hope ships is better

I simply gave up on the tank raid. Hopefully ships will be better, but since it is coming from the same folks....hopefully Rogue One is good.

As long as everyone knows the "EASY" of T7 Rancor (aka Teebo Strat, and people complained it was HARD to get Teebo to the right gear lvl G10 + Scanner before mods) didn't come overnight, and some guilds still don't even do T7 Rancor Yet. I'd give it a month or 2 unless they make it easier and many guilds will be completing Heroic ATT Raids.

O

I am playing this game for about 6 months and never see something to become easier

There is nothing normal about spending so much time doing a single activity, not to mention the sheer amount of battery it consumes. So much time being wasted in a game that will be obsolete in a couple of years is clearly not a good investment.

Wrong (Trump quote). Although you are entitled to your opinion, I never asked you about your bus routine. I just don't wanna know about it, so you should keep the irrelevant information to yourself. Everyone has a different routine, if you have a lot of time to spare then good for you. My critique is about my understanding about what the game was and what it has become, it has nothing to do with your personal life.

Everything is optional, even playing the game is optional. If that's how you wanna take it, then everything will always be fine for you and tRRRey in your mighty complacency.

YES, that's exactly what I'm talking about! This is a mobile phone/tablet game but the business model is changing for worse and alienating the base players. I get it that you're stuck in your own perspective and don't give a rat's xxx about other people, but maybe the EA guys should worry about it, after all it's their business.

Clearly I'm coming to that conclusion as well right from the start. But no, I don't think it's working as intended, unless the intention is to slowly drive people away. Mobile games are known for their practicality, but this is not practical any longer.

You shouldn't presume to know what you don't know. I use one or two teams to make the entire thing, if it takes 40 minutes to 1 hour to complete it, there is something wrong cause when the game started it wasn't like this. The game has been changing for the worse, it's becoming bigger, slower and unpleasant, and its not because of my teams (which you don't know nothing about) its the algorithm's fault.

Ye, tank raid sucks. Poor rewards, not fun to wait for the animation to finally give your turn, plus it takes forever... the rewards are not worth it. If we just played the rest of the game nobody will miss this raid. Plus, in case you havent noticed EA, playing a game is supposed to be fun and entertaining, not boring and frustrating.

I do agree that it is a bit boring and that the animations are slow.

IMO the rewards are horrid but necessary. Until Tank Raid gear is added elsewhere your choices are to run the Raid or save crystals and buy in shipments.

Just auto it everyday it costs nothing but time, you don't loose out in running the rancor raid or energy for other things etc. It has its own currency to open and you will need the rewards to progress unless you are going to save and spend crystals.
