Expanding War Defence!

Feedback Corner
#1

With over 200 heroes and recent patches & refreshes making so many of them viable, with some great synergies, is it time for a 4th line in War Defence?

We don’t get much opportunity to actually battle with a lot of our heroes - Arena & Coli are too restrictive, the Campaign & Heist are a walkover, Surge is a test of how little we can use them and CW is repetitive.

A 4th War defence team would greatly increase the variety (and thus, enjoyment) of heroes we’re able to use in combat, both as a defence team and also in our attacks. There’s so many cool ones who just never make it out onto the battlefield!

(The number of extra attacks might need to be increased to maintain the points system, that’s fine 🤷)

Interesting idea. Maybe a bit too expensive right now - like I would be mostly fine but I imagine the average player would actually have it significantly harder to keep up 20 heroes rather than 15 - but with a more balanced economy I’d gladly welcome it.

Well, yeah, of course not everyone is gonna be able to compile 4 strong lines.

But already, not everyone can compile 3 strong lines - and in theory the guild ranking system & war matchmaking handles that anyway - so I don’t think it would change too much in terms of balance

Dont agree with the four lines idea has some guilds still struggle getting more than 30/50 of their guilds to even attack in war as is and think this would despimate their hope even more.

Maybe could work if it was less cars than the current 9 as a full guild of fifty doesn’t even fill all the cars completely. I rather guild size increase to fill guild war cars (which in turn can have more people to give guild gifts, more participation in invasion, influence to help lower guilds (I get it doesn’t help older full perk guilds but that’s another story of a broken record at this point)) or decrease the amount of cars so a full guild can fill all car slots, if something were to change than four lines.

Very interesting idea.
Definitely would help to bring some of the less used heroes back into play and with the new “aim” that all heroes should be “good” (LOL), it certainly could be nice.

However, the cons simply outweigh the pros to this hunded fold at the moment.

  • cost to keep 15 heroes up to date is currently outrageous and impossible
  • on S1 there is currently 5 guilds that care about war enough, the rest just hit when they can and do something. Having more resources required and more time for people to spar and make attacks is not something I see helping the current overall negative attitude around the game.
  • the added resources required to correctly balance and test a new point system and expand the war cars is also not something I believe the dev team have at the moment (and probably never will)
  • same as Cap C said, participation and guild size will need to be expanded

So although there are amazing and great possibilities, unfortunately I don’t think it is on the horizon for this game in its very limited remaining lifespan.

On topic of war in general…Now what I think would be a great addition to war that @Samm and team should consider, is having an option that allows u to spar the exact lineup u facing in war with guild’s associated car perk bonuses directly instead of relying on guildmate posts that don’t include them or are lower in power, not right disks unlocked etc. Like an option that says do u wish to fight or a button that says practice.

And maybe if u lose practice maybe could give advice like try this toon with this badge to counter x toon, so people can actually learn the counters for all the toons and might even more out, as I know some people don’t like war as they don’t know what toon beats what.

Great concept!!
Will we ever get it? No.
Why? Because there is no revenue incentive. And as we all know very well by now… top priority: revenue

#8

Of course… how many concepts for new guild perks , mode improvements, etc have us players posted for three years now all we get is mostly we will pass it along and not this will not work bc of this or that, or this may take up to x months if we were to implement etc.

I have low expectations of actually improvement days like you but yea just keep swimming and throwing logic at the wall hoping one day it will stick lol

I have 0 expectations at the moment.

The only thing that is certain is that the game is close to ending.
And every bad decision that is made is just excellerating this timeline.
