I've played KaW almost since it started. I went inactive and played another ATA game for two years. I since returned to KaW and my formerly LCBC accts are tiny, as two new sets of lands have been added. You will never be build complete in this game, because the devs just add new lands that are prohibitively expensive - the epic battles don't pay nearly enough to supply reasonable funds for acceptable rates of growth. New players (and old who are re-starting) quickly become discouraged and quit. I don't have £5k+ to spend on a game, to pay to BC, and hire a few allies; even if I did, I wouldn't, it's against my principles. I would spend some money, if I saw the possibility of ever build completing and not having 25 new prohibitively expensive lands added to the game. Newer players have NO CHANCE of BC'ing without spending huge wads of real money, due to the exorbitant land and building costs you have put in place to occupy the already LCBC players. Solution? Devs, for LCBC players, add new EB's, tournaments and develop the Estoc war system further to keep these LCBC players engaged in playing: don't add more lands as a means of 'entertaining' them and retaining their patronage. If you do, soon the LCBC veteran players will be the only players remaining. In the meantime, provide reasonable means to achieve LCBC status to other players, who are not at that level already. Otherwise, you will continue to lose your new player base and KaW will go the same direction as FC & GaW: veteran players only, with plenty of regular and steady attrition, i.e. dying games. People become discouraged and quit playing, if they can never even hope to attain the level of those players already LCBC and on the LB, which is the way KaW is currently. You need to level the playing field, so noobs can have a fighting chance at 'equalising' with the veteran players via reasonable gameplay and effort. I really do hope you will take notice of this, Devs, and DO something about it, so you don't end up killing KaW, also.
i think kaw is a great game i like the fact how you cant be build complete it means i still have much much more to work for in order for me to become great in this game and if you were active in kaw for those 2 years i think you would have a different perspective about this and another reason why this game is great is because you cant become the best of the best over night you have to work for it and when i say work i mean WORK ive put blood sweat and tears into this game and have barely put any money into this game only about $10 and the people who play this game also make it great. Kaw is not for the faint hearted. And i am sorry for any of the grammar/punctuation errors.
@kill3r103 it is evolving and I guess everyone's perspective will be different depending on personality.
That is just my perspective i havent been playing kaw as long as some of the other people such as yourself so i honestly have no idea how the old kaw was like but one thing that i think does need to change is there needs to be more war stuff instead of ebs.
I agree and disagree, I agree that the devs should continue to expand upon activities, such as EE Wars, and new ebs, but I definitely have to disagree with the argument that we should not add new lands. I think that when the devs add new lands it creates new possibilities and excitement among players! I know that when I first started the game a year and a half or so ago, before I reset more than once, all I looked forward to was llbc and exploring the hl! Now that we have the hoarfrost lands, I just want to hfbc (as well as hlbc because I have t quite yet but I am close) and it is not unreasonable to grow into LB at all! I was recently in the ally LB and I have only bought crystals once! I used crystals that I got from quests on the htes and wars and I've grown very quickly! This game is more about strategy then spending money, in order to become big.
I agree I feel like unless I play the escape b2b all day every day not missing a single hit I wont ever be BC
I am not as big as I should be because I get to a point where my minimum upgrade cost is 150 billion and then I do a build change. But now at least I have the build I will stick with
