Moose, can you pass this thread onto the developers for review? I'd ask CanadianGal, but... Y'know...
You'll find many opinions on this subject, I know most Tower build owners love their build and will defend it in forums or wherever. I know most that have faced one either in EE trials or OSW are not fans at all. And lord help you if you have to face a clan of them. I don't think people should be punished for using them, no matter what has happened in past Joe_. But I do agree, they throw the balance of the game in jeopardy. It's like playing rock, scissors, paper, and someone throws out Steel. The amount of effort it takes to pin a Tower build could be spent pinning 4 of almost any other build. That being said, I happily recommend any clan mates directions on how to build both Attack, hybrid, and hansel variations of tower builds. If you can't beat em join em. But it will bring back a variation of turtle wars that I don't look forward too.
Gisk: I'll go 1 up and ask my pal Wulf to submit for dev review. It's an unfair mechanic, and it should be looked at.
Warlock, I don't think people will be punished, but imagine that when devs weigh up destruction of EE vs upsetting tower build peeps, they'll make the right decision. Longer they leave it, the more it will hurt them. Nip it in the bud devs...
They deserve to be unattackable. They sacrifice a lot on their daily eb plunder. You can always convert to this type of built. This is your choice to choose what your built in KAW.
That makes less than no sense...you choose your build, you choose to war. If I choose to war you and you can hit me, I should be able to hit you back. That's a fair system. Seriously, don't complain about cash earned by a build you or your buddy selected for a specific purpose.
Also @ warlock. I also believe no punishment is deserved for people with tower builds. Just remove the unbalance caused by the exploit and make them attachable by at least other tower builds like the hansel mech. No punishment tho. Just fix the exploit
Maybe make the towers refunded for full price for the cost of the equivalent attack build as compensation? Only offered for 3 days on existing towers.
It isn't cheating. An exploit isn't a cheat, it's a way to do better usually with a way that's built purposely into the system. If it becomes against tou, the devs will be in the wrong. So long as towers are part of the game it's totally fair. You can build a tower build. It's totally fair and even. Just annoying... Unless the towers are taken out of KaW, it's totally even. Deal with it and find a way to counter act them. Players pay for the towers to fight with. It's fair. Not cheating at all
It's not a cheat, not an exploit, if you ban tower builds then you have to ban Hansels and Pure spies also. I'm not changing build for anyone.
And besides... Towers drop plunder and give you a war advantage. No towers increases plunder and lowers your war advantage. It evens out
