GAC - Hiding Score

Hard no. It doesn't happen very often anymore where I'm at, but it's nice to know when I can just bail on the round. There's already too much to do.

Also the people that get good scores will show you if they have the option. So you can continue to go about not playing the game you dislike.

Waste of time. No thank you.

I'm siding with tvf and starson here, no thanks.

I like seeing the score like it is. Lets me know if I should try or not. Sometimes I attack first and make the other not care. Sometime they attack first and make me not care.

Same point as TVF I believe, when you can see your opponents score you can now when to cut your loss and move on with your life if going second.

Round end is 11pm for me, so I mostly attack nearer the end, but not at the very end of the phase and it's lovely when you can see your high scoring opponents banners and can do the toughest battles first to see if there's a point to keep going or not.

That doesn’t seem like much of a reason for a competitive game mode. Let’s keep an imbalance so it’s easier to ignore?

For many, it is not a competitive game mode but rather a means to earn resources. I'd wager a lot of people are burned out on or never cared for the competitive aspect of GAC. Changing the mode in a way that would require more effort for the same rewards will not be popular with that crowd.

That said, if competitive balance for GAC was the primary concern, I think your suggestion absolutely makes sense.

Care to elaborate? Maybe you have good point. But hard to see through the snark.

No snark. It's a waste of time for the devs, and I don't want them to do it. There have been countless threads on these forums about the subject, and I don't feel the need to rehash all the points that everyone has already made and I can guarantee no one has a new point on the matter.

I’m a no vote for this - but for slightly different reasons. I feel that showing the score in GAC opens up in some cases the opportunity for a bit of interaction, jeopardy and a bit of mental fencing with your opponent. You can leave them guessing whether you have any attacks left or you can feel a bit of a buzz as their score clicks closer to yours - will that last defence hold out just long enough…. Take away the scores and it’s just another sad solitary activity that you choose to do in the bathroom or wherever.

Any aspect of the game can be a tactical opportunity- it’s up to you to have a bit of fun with it or to make it a frustration.

It sounds like OP's schedule does not allow him to utilize the tactical opportunity of his choosing. If I had more fun or felt better going 1st/2nd but my schedule didn't allow it, that would be frustrating. And I might saunter over to the forums and make a post about my preferences and see if it gains any traction... and then lose faith in humanity ;)
