While lurking WC and watching all these new announcements for new players needing volleys, I've noticed that most of them end up in clans that have failing T1 EBs. Most of these new players can occasionally be seen in WC trying to understand why it's so hard to grow, or asking questions about how to make better gold. Why doesn't ATA place new accounts into an ATA ran clan, that is automated and has T1 EBs always running that don't fail. Maybe a brand new EB that's only available to new players. Basically set the clan up so that there is no 15min window for an EB to start, have the EB be something that allows both attacks and assassinates, nothing complicated with items or steals/scouts, and doesn't require too much to complete. The EB wouldn't have a maximum time to complete before a fail, maybe have a maximum time before an auto-complete that just ends the EB and gives a payout for all successful actions made, and then starts the next EB. The point of this is to eliminate the frustrations new players face when they have no concept of the game, and are still learning how everything works, and they end up in some clan that's only active 2-3 hours a day and fails every EB because of low activity. What new player is going to continue playing a game when they can't even find a clan that's running stat appropriate EBs consistently or successfully enough for them to be able to have something they can hit when they do load the game.
Sadly this game isn't very appealing in the beginning unless you know someone who plays. The description and pictures in the App Store, plus the intro leave the burden of being new and unknowledgeable about the game on the player not on the game itself. The huge size difference players can have and still attack small players is off putting to new players. Having to be on every hour unlike most games that collect resources even while you're not on is tedious and slow in the beginning. It's one thing to have a game that hourly regens troops to limit attacks, it's another thing to make that the primary income/building method in a game that has made build complete unattainable for more than half the members and 99.9% of new players. I mean... What new player issues?
This game doesn't welcome noobs as much as it should, they need to fix the tutorial to be more detailed, or better yet, remove the crappy images from the App Store so people actually download this game.
this game are about spending your CASH,yes it all about MONEY.you want new player grow fast,tell them INVEST in seal/horn.
Hey folks, Pvp is newbies best option not pve.if you add a plunder bonus for every successful action in pvp say .001% per action or 1000 successful action giving 1% pb you can grow faster if willing to play. Lets say you unload 1 a day at 50 successful actions x 20 days you have 1% pb in less than a month Sincerely Verong
This is because everyone is so up themselves and will not help people in new player clans. Never do I see anyone from a huge alliance building a newbie training clan to run t1 t2 ebs This game is only as good as the community and the community needs to put a effort in and actually help in clans asking for help.
The gap is just too big now. Its not easy to run a tier 1/2/3 training clan if the main clan runs tier 7/8/9. U really need 3 clans to feed with home grown noobs. There is too much attrition to make it anything less than frustrating
The main problem is the sheer number of clans, there aren't enough players to fill them up so I suggest we should increase the price of making one to the size of the player (like mithril), therefore it makes it a challenge for every player to make one. Maybe make a base price of 50 bill then increase when player reaches a certain size it increases accordingly. Just sharing my thoughts.
The only attempts I've seen from anyone to try and help the new players are from a select few of 1-2 people and the forum thread of new clans from daphnia which still isn't very helpful as most new players don't even know how to get to the forums. Devs if you want to keep kaw as a $ making game, your going to need to put in some effort to help the new players and not just make more promos. So maybe like update the tutorial ALOT, and fix App Store pictures so it doesn't look like kaw is for only 12 yr olds.
Its up to the EB Faerie only community to assist n teach new ppl. OSW n EE war clans have their own issues that r not being addressed. Anyone can help new ppl who r on WC seeking advice or help. I help ppl when i see them on WC when i can.
