One week break is ridiculous

So right! Should be zero, rewards can’t come fast enough. Too bad a small percentage of players are attempting to hold everyone else up because they choose to play at a level where they need to build resources in excess of the seasons length.

If you have the ability to play seasons back to back then I would argue you aren't playing for rewards on your level. If its easy enough for you to face roll AW then you're not being challenged and the rewards aren't that great if 'they can't come fast enough.' It isn't a small percentage of players that are struggling to maintain their AW season resources. Its a good chunk of players at all levels of the game. This break isn't just from seasons. It is also a recovery from the gifting event and all the holiday and new years madness. A way for alliances to pull themselves back together in time for the next season.

No doubt I have the ability to play higher than I do. What I dont’t have is the patience or desire to play along side “warholes”. Warholes? Those are the players who are self centered, lack understanding, push you down rather than help build you up after a death, compete within their own alliance, chastise others for mistakes, are incapable of thinking past their own nose, forget a game is played for fun, attempt to force others to needlessly waste resources in an attempt to save face in spite of a loss, and use war as an excuse to ignore civility. Warholes make AW a chore and create unneeded stress in what is supposed to be so a getaway so I stay away from that mindset. If your alliance needs to pull themselves back together you might want to look at what is actually causing it require the constant maintenance, perhaps it’s your warholes creating an unpleasant environment.

Your second point. If so many are stressing to recoup after seasons then they can simply stop pushing so hard and nothing will change except the stress. Sadly that will never happen though. People know what it takes to win but do they know how to lose?

I'm in a gold 3 alliance. We win some and lose some. Around 50/50. I rarely use items and when we lose, usually it's attack bonus. We dont stress and just enjoy the game. That's why I like my alliance, we do reasonably well but we dont get stressed or burnt out.

Some of you guys are acting like you want longer shore leave because the combat fatigue is too great. If the game is really so much of a burden, maybe yo ou should change alliances.

Wakandas_Finest · January 2019

I for one am taking season 7 of aw off maybe season 8 as well. If my progression isn’t greatly hindered by being a solo player I may never join another alliance again. Rewards just aren’t worth it to me anymore.

MemphisUSF · January 2019

As the leader of my alliance, I fully agree that we need a longer break. Holidays and AW took a toll on many. Some will be looking for new alliances and there are always those few that don't work out and you have to make a last minute recruiting search. Giving at least a week-week and a half is minimum needed for those that experience attrition to fill their voids. Kabam, please consider adding just a few days to the break b/w seasons. Burnout is a real phenomenon. We appreciate all the awards and bonuses we got this season, but can you please consider one more?

Would be better if seasons were 5 weeks on 2 weeks off.

Bobbylort · January 2019

Spot on.. Aw landing on new years eve was badly enough planned as it is.. Pushing us to an early start of the new year is just burning up the player base, hope you'll get it fixed.

wolflogan · January 2019

A break of 2 weeks is a must.

AW over XMas and the New Years Eve was a bad desicion too. 😖

The game needs to be fun and not M second job.

I believe nobody @kabam makes a brain about, how much time all activities it costs to play all events a day. 🤔

NikoBravo · January 2019

If everyone felt the same way about it not being a long enough break then I’m sure you can all ban together and join a retirement alliance. I’m not opposed to you doing this, just makes it easier for me.

ArielloPL · January 2019

One week is too short!

SiriusBreak · January 2019

I think it's pretty clear here. Go ahead. Do a count. The majority are asking for another week. There are a few smart alecks amongst the ranks overlooking the reality of the situation. 1 week off is too short, period. Giving up on the Season could potentially splinter an Alliance as some would welcome it, and others would want to continue. This has been touched upon.

My group does not play outside their means. My group plays fairly casually. But we like to win too. We maintained Gold 1 with minimal effort, yet, we still want 2 weeks off. Our Alliance, like many, is pretty tight knit. I'd say the WHOLE Alliance is happy the Season is over. As I previously mentioned, we decided to run war minimally this week to allow our players time to recoup and do their solo thing.

Now, is it so much to ask that they stick with the schedule they originally announced and not keep changing things up? Is that out of line? Why anyone thinks this is all good is beyond my comprehension. They waited til the 1st day of our ONLY WEEK OFF to say this. This last minute nonsense has got to stop. It's not the kind of surprise people enjoy. Quite the opposite. Last minute changes that directly effect the player base can clearly be damaging. It's been said by MANY. The leadership is forced to scramble, and get things ready in a short period of time. It's not right. Not at all. So, instead of coming up with excuses, glib remarks, and snarky comebacks, do your fellow players a favor and look at the big picture.

I made a post about this about how short season 6 break was.

I was trying to tell community about how kabam is changing the way aw works and they will eventualy lead to drastic changes like this 1 werk break.

Boom! They did it for this season..

I got bashed and was told to suck it up, because i also play in masters wars.

But then again, when it effects you, youd be suprise how many people try to rally behind this and are now seeing its effects.

I am posting here because mcoc bot made an announcement.

Pretty funny how nobody wanted to rally behind me in season 6 1 week break.

mardox · January 2019

Two week break would be nice from war.

Civilwarriorlegend · January 2019

First making us play competitive war and aq during xmas and ny breaks coming from a 1 week off season where we had content reduced from us (no globals)
Now announcing content will still be the same boring as always and on top of that no off season break again??

You guys are underestimating how much the off season matters. Alliances need to rearrange, players need some stress free weeks.

I've been playing for 4 years and I'm on the edge of quitting over something so easy to solve because you guys even know you acknowledge the need of the 2 weeks you chose to ignore it

JaymesV · January 2019

Looooonger break please.

DoomGB · January 2019

Like most of the comments here, the ending of this season was a major relief. Constant wars, pressure and a drainage of resources to finally be over was a good feeling. But a week off just to get back into war after war plus the pressure of each war is very draining. Many players I know are burnt out and wish to focus on other content or just a take a step back from the game and play more casually. Please reconsider the season break to give players that reboot time that they need and not let players feel salty going into the next season. No point in a game if it's not fun.

NoOnexRO · January 2019

I agree with @Samspade23 .
Most of you forget that this is a game.
Pumping money and playing it like there's no tomorrow doesn't change the fact that you should enjoy this game.

One week as a break is perfect.
"Not all content is made to be played by everyone" - this is what I keep read when people start to complain.
So, maybe you should follow your own advice.

Yo_momma69 · January 2019

I feel it will be more of a competition if everyone can reciprocate from a lost season. Also kabam a lot of joined this cause we are fans of marvel comics. And you found it away for us to enjoy it. Now I know it’s a business and you have to make money. But consider that lot of us have family and we love this game.

Aleor · January 2019

why 1 week is good? no time for tanking. yes, it is important. and already enough actually. shorter breaks means more seasons, if it's length won't increase, wich is also nice.

finally, if you want to have a break, just take it. it's not you job, you don't need kabam to approve your vacation

Tyemonster · January 2019

I'm most definitely agree the majority would rather the 2 week off season seen The holiday just got over Things were stressful enough worrying about your alliance and take care of family matters I honestly don't think it is fair to the majority of the group to just do one week off season Yes there might be a few that would rather shorter I'll season we totally understand that But from what I hear the majority of people would rather a longer break to get their bearings back in from the holidays and the stress of war I am an officer in my group It searcy becomes difficult Hold an alliance together sometimes Off season is a good way for an officer to take some time off and kind of get a little bit of a break from the stress of keeping things together Especially when you have 30 other people yelling and complaining want things done want things changed off season you don't hear nothing Plus why are we get such short notice on this matter in the 1st place That is totally unfair to us I seriously think kabam Knew about doing this week's Ago Why Coming to us so short notice now that totally seems unfair to the community

bryndenrivers · January 2019

im in a platinum 1/master alliance and have been since seasons started not a single person in my alliance or any in top 50 alliances ive spoken to likes only having 1-2 weeks off. the break should be the length of the season, cmon kabam. i will say 2018 was the best year for the game yet in spite of constant aw seasons not because of them. one month long season should equal to one month off seasson. this is becoming too much. from what ive seen 25-30% off top players bow out and quit or move to gold-p3 ally every season as this no aw break issue gets worse. stop it already not a single summnoer likes the short break periods not a single one... have a happy safe new year guys!!!

Probably you only read what you like because there are enough that support the 1 week break.

Deadmaddy · January 2019

Why do people have to be in top tier alliance I'm every single season if they can't take it? I don't mind back to back season because I play in alliance that has people who play it because it's fun not because they have to get best rewards possible. This way more and more peoples can experience higher tier rewards and burned out members can chill with lower tier alliances.

DJSergy · January 2019

The announcement doesn’t even make sense. You can’t to justify a shorter break to acccomodate matchmaking improvments. Just make the improvements and give 2 week break as per usual.

There is absolutely no explanation they can give the community because it is a business decision in order to keep the players spending and dont allow to stock up on boosts and pots

DoctorJ · January 2019

I feel like a lot of issues regarding resources would be solved if they added boosts to the glory store. I use pods/boosts every war to ensure clean finishes and boosts in glory store would make it much cheaper. I currently dont spend glory on anything other then pods.

The recruitment issue is exactly why I quit being an officer. To much hassle, even in gold 1.

Animejay70 · January 2019

I originally retired due to war seasons. I am going to start up again, but i would be lying if i said i won't stop again as well.

The break is too short for the MOST stressful game mode.

Why wont Kabam listen to their players? Just because a few top alliances that spend money want this, that's why.

Mr_Platypus · January 2019

Those justifying the short break with “just drop down a bit” are forgetting the impact it has on officers of an alliance, and if they can’t handle the stress of replacing multiple players in less than a week then the alliance crumbles.

XxwitewidowxX · January 2019

I don't mind the short off season. If they make the off season longer more alliances will just tank on purpose for longer.

I wish AW had multiple maps, or mixed nodes. We have been playing the same map and same nodes for 6 seasons now. What happened to the original AW map? Cant they reconfigure that map so we can bounce back and forth? Most members in alliances bring the same champs for their same paths every single war. That's the real boring part about AW. Not the short off season !

Removing the offseason in order to prevent tanking is like removing your arm because you got a rash on it.
