It is a glitch. Use your thinking cap. I gained around 60m cs for a lvl 20 and 19 upgrade to my atk buildings. Do the math.
Use YOUR thinking cap TNT. of course it's a glitch but the gold is real right now. The ripple effect becomes exponential and 'unwinding' this mistake is nearly impossible.
It is a glitch, upgrading the defensive troop building does something wonky. Devs are always top notch about testing stuff you know. One defensive troop building adds almost 1b cs for some reason.
a glitch. neat. couldn't test the building stats because i only spend a measly $60 a month on this game. not nearly enough to be up there with the people that the devs care about. used to spend. never again. they are not getting another penny from me.
They'd have to do a server roll back to undo this, I'd think. Which means refunding a **** load of bought items. This is great.
Its not "nearly impossible". Apparently you weren't around when half of BH got their builds knocked down for using the building selling gold glitch years ago.
SMASH lost 80% of it's player base due to ATA's update. New levels here is totally uncalled for. Look at it this way, right now KaW only exists to fund future project development. They're milking it for all they have. That's what this is. ATA doesn't see kaw going far, so from a business PoV new levels will make their spenders spend = more money. So glad I managed to sell my main few days ago and get out of this.
That's a little different as that was people abusing a glitch. This is just people upgrading attack buildings, no? Seems like this is more widespread and can't really punish people for upgrading.
Their low effort announcement about the levels should tell you something. SMASH was supposed to be their next best game, sadly so many have left there you can top 100 events there without spending anything. So the new levels here are directly related to that, they need the money to stabilise the ship and fund their new games.
The problem here is that they care and change the game too much for the big spenders. YES they're important but they are what? 10% of player base? Now, remove 40% of normal casual spenders and what do you get? A failing game. They're either dumb (I doubt it) or they're trying to cash out quick on a dying game. Just sucks to see kaw going in this direction. Oh and btw, I have a friend who was bc. He spent 750tril on new lands. He's halfway to bc now. Food for thought
The magnitude of gold back then vs this is like pissing in the ocean. Not even a comparable analogy at all if you understood how gold moves throughout The game. Obviously they can fix stats. That's the easy part. The hard part is undoing the effects of quadtrillions of gold in the marketplace in the span of a couple hours. You can't unwind the effects of that. And you can't blame the people for going balls out on their stats. It's just gross negligence by the Devs that even I couldn't have imagined they could pull off.
