I want to start a little discussion thread; about this games progression. Time goes by when your playing KaW. Posts that felt like you read them yesterday are suddenly "long ago". And it got me thinking, has this game seriously not progressed in its years? I think the only reason I barely even play nowadays is because of hope. Hope that this game will get better, they will listen to feedback and the simple solutions to make this game more interesting. But when is it time to just give up hope? If you have realised, everything in the past 2 years has just been rehashed events over and over in a different skin. It seems nowadays that's all games are, especially when it comes to games like CoD on consoles. Even EE is just adjustments to how typical clan wars would take place 5 years ago. Maybe the only drastic change was EBs. Maybe this game is in need of a drastic change. Games don't last for 5 years. Every few year a new one has to come out to replace it. I've now officially played KaW for 5 years, anniversary was on 21st October. And it makes me wonder. So many games just blank out their players opinions. This game has not changed besides some re-skinned events with the same concept and mindless epic battling. Val, out.
Even forums seem slower than before. Is this game losing its player base? It's simple. Games do not last 5 year's, not in this day and age. Making things more of a grind is not improving the game, which is what ata are doing when they release a new tier and buildings.
Its not going to get a drastic change. They will keep milking the player base through new seasons,new hunts and new lands/buildings until people realize it's all the same repackaged ****. They don't care at all. They show by their complete indifference to their player base. They don't even give a **** about adding new players anymore. How many threads have there been about the issue with getting MP as a newb? Not one ******* peep from kaw on any of them even acknowledging the problem. The. Devs. Do. Not. Care. Anymore. They are getting the last of the money they can out of kaw and that's it.
Of course it losing its player base. The leaderboards from events and season tell us that. Remember the dragon eggs? You barely needed a pulse to hit top 500. This past season they had to do a huge increase in medal pay out to get top 500 just to a hundred. How would it of looked if they lb benchmark would of been lower than the benchmark to get all the equipment unenchanted?
Would help if they made the game more interactive. If I could actually control my kingdom and it's troops. A whole revamp. Old gen text based games don't really fly anymore. Tap tap upgrade tap.
Do ata even have the staff? I'm sure someone suggested this idea before, that a thinking ape no longer has a coder. All the New content in this game is done by a graphics artist and someone swapping around code. None of the content requires any change. Do they have the skill ability to ADD new content? This isn't a big company when you think about it. If they show up to work 5 days a week, 8+ hours, what are they even doing?
Think about everything added in the past 2 years. Do they just turn up to work to draw pictures and items? That's all we've been getting for a long time now. Maybe they've got rid of everyone and just management milking the cow for cash till it dies.
Run hte based pay to win events. Milk us dry to pay for smash Launch smash Close kaw n relocate players to smash like they did FC
off topic but their web site says they r hiring though... Maybe we could a kaw player to fill that spot? Maybe we could see sum real changes...
Smash won't get anywhere. Why would people play smash when they clan play an identical game and far better game like clash of clans.
Doesn't mean they won't or haven't shifted resources there already. Perhaps they have unrealistic visions of taking over that market if games.
I've seen the steady ebb and flow of people on this game over my almost 5 years on here. People come, and people go. You don't notice the new players because none of them leave a real impact anymore. They go into a clan and go quiet, they go off to an RP clan and never speak to anyone outside, or they're simply statless troll account. When this game was smaller and younger, you noticed people. There was a perhaps more accepting player base back then. Let's face it, forums isn't always kind to newer players, especially recently. And there was more to talk about. People felt life at ease, less threatened or intimidated by others, and thus, more open. Of course, this game will die - eventually. All games do. But as long as a few people still go on their phones for a couple of hours and load up KaW, hit EBs and log off, ATA will keep it alive. It's their pet project. Support are still responsive as ever, and if anything I've seen more new players. It's perhaps not what you see from where you are, but where you're looking at it from. Just my 2 cents.
The only thing that has really grown is the price for allies. Remember when people had a starting volley it would be to 3b? Well, now it goes up to 25b.
With regards to devs caring about player base, however, I don't believe they do as much as they did. Take the road map for example. That was all meant to be implemented by July. We've seen maybe 1 or 2 things off it completed, and even then it was half arsed. I agree with the people calling for the devs to do something. But not doing anything allows newer players to catch up to the vets easier - if they're not updating, maybe it's an influx of new players that they want to break in gently before they start pushing big updates. Mods HAVE mentioned upcoming content. As ever, it's a waiting game. I hope it's worth it.
Mods don't have any information of upcoming content. All they can say is they will forward ideas to devs. Some of the really brown nosing truly ass kissing mods will make excuses and insinuate. But at the end of the day they don't know ****. As far as the devs slow playing to break in new players and let others catch up I don't buy it. Look at the last couple of events. They were completely geared towards larger players that live and breath hte. Some of these guys were making upwards of 400b an eb with the plunder spells. Nah they are giving them more and more gold.
Smash will end up like future combat, a failed game. CoC isbfar superior to the game and actually listening to its player base.... KaW has been dead, since the summer promo of last year no events have really compared. Everything is merely rehashed now.... The dragon chest event had up to top 5000 to get the best piece of equip. Past events haven't come close to that number. Player base is shrinking, the game has become a grind and it has lost its luster. KaW is dying
