Our alliance is from the Netherlands and Belgium.
Because most of us have a day job there will be days we physically cannot finish some wars because of the timeframes were forced into to play a war.
We worked hard to reach gold 1, but now all that hard work has been flushed down the drain by kabam.
Instead of perma-banning the players who, we all know, cheat, they come up with a set up that screws most European players that have a life.
In really like that game and game though I hate AW and what it has done to game, I could stomach it, because the game it self is fun and being in an alliance with lovely people is awesome. But if season 9 will have the same set up I'll might as well quit this game, because our alliance will probably fall apart.
Thank you kabam for not thinking this one through, like so many things.
It starts late afternoon, which gives you the entire night. Few fights when you wake. Or on a break. All done. I’m Dutch and loving it.
We have actual lives with partners and kids and family. And some have jobs that don't allow them to play.
For example: in my building I can't get a signal at all. Not even to call. We used to start our wars at 9 pm which was ok, even though sometimes it was still close.
Now we started at 5 pm and we're glad it's weekend. During a week day that time frame will be impossible.
We should be able to pick a window start time. If things stay the way they are, we probably won’t be participating next season (at least not trying).
Is it possible you thought we can’t stop alliances from 100% maps so we will just take time to play away from them, then they can’t 100%???
This is one way to stop people participating in war and possibly the game I suppose.
Make the start/End at least 3 hours later so we have a second window when both Europe and pacific coast US players are available at same time
This AW system is broken, and frustrating to say the least.
I understand that to some, this new fixed start time is great and works for their schedules - which is great for y'all. You are the minority though, I assure you.
I'm EST myself, and our current war started and ended at 10am-ish, which was 3+ hours earlier than the first one.. and first one was 3+ hours earlier that we NORMALLY look for a match.
We're a group of vets that finally put together a system that worked with everyone's schedules, and this system just ruined that!
With most of us, our schedules are inflexible to change for anything other than major life changes, so making this aspect of a GAME suddenly demand that is laughable to say the least.
I'm sorry to say, that if the start times aren't going to remain flexible, you'll be saying goodbye to a lot of players like myself.
Or at least, to players like me in any sort of AW aspect of the game.
My suggesting would be to make 3 available time brackets, each one 8 hours apart.
If choosing your own matchmaking time is off the table.. Then there needs to be some sort of reliable, repeatable, consistent, start time each war. No +/- 3 hours, and preferably much much later in the day.
Even though I realize Kabam will probably never even consider the option, removing energy restrictions or upping the energy cap significantly, would solve this all in a heartbeat. For everyone, everywhere. Hell, they could even make all boosts work for a set number of fights, so they’d still sell the same amount.
Any adjustment to the time schedule, will impact players. Simply starting it X hours later will placate those that the current schedule negatively impacts. But will in turn impact others, who will then start complaining.
I’ll be up frank and honest I’m not going to tell everyone in our alliance they should start setting there alarm clocks ⏰ to get up check where there @ in AW.....,or be home by a certain hour etc.,depending on there time zone could be b rough. This is game suppose to b fun than it turns into a job and for most of us we are not getting paid to do this.
I completely understand that the majority are not in favor of the system as is. I'm not either. We've been heard folks. So take a breather and be patient while they fix this situation. I'm sure by Tuesday we'll be informed of the changes made and know what to expect. I'm also gonna wager a guess that they're postponing Season 8 by at least 1 week. To do otherwise could be catastrophic for many Alliances if they miss the mark again. For now, I'll remain cautiously optimistic while remembering that things could be problematic even after the changes are made. The point is, change is coming, we've been heard. The community put their proverbial feet down and it was noticed by Kabam. What more can we ask for now? Nothing. Just hang loose and see what happens next. Complain again if things go sideways. Or cheer if they end up working. Or not... lol
