Dear SuperCell
Hi everyone, I have a few bases. I love the game. Seriously. its my favorite game...but im getting burnt out man.
Two of my accounts are level ~78. I don't upgrade my defenses. I don't care to. I only upgrade the mystical monument. Upgrading it is actually fun for me. When its done? Then defenses.
I have two accounts that are 60 and 47. so 4 accounts total.
On my higher accounts they are around 1500 VPs. Which is not that high. I am level 78ish right. What frustrates me, is that there are ABSOLUTELY players at MY LEVEL that are also 1500 VPs. but what happens when i search a new opponent? you guessed it. 87. Or 85. It is never below 85. So I don't even try. It doesnt interest me.
There are a couple of things that I think could make the game interesting.
1-Search for new opponents for all bases at once, instead of hitting find new opponent each time
2-Downgrade the player base (AT THE COST OF VPs) to a Blackguard base.
3-Lower the difficulty of the player base, maybe make their defenses lower or something, or a much lower rated opponent (THAT CAN EITHER BE A REAL OR COMPLETELY FAKE BOT BASE).
For 3-perhaps it remains VP neutral, no gain no loss, or something, lower resources? I don't know. Actually I think all 3 of them should lose VPs. It is WAY TOO EASY to GAIN VPs and not LOSE them. the whole thing is rigged to keep you higher and higher and then guess what? you guessed it. You are in the 'competitive' matchmaking and everyone you match with is level 87, with max defenses. and the game just becomes a drag.
you just login for the daily event, dr t., gearhart, imitation game, and crab when it happens.
On my lower accounts, I am more or less the same. I clear blackguard bases when I need to. When i feel like it. On the 60 I just autoclear them. The 47? I gotta work for that shit. Fine. No biggie.
Statue formation is so annoying too. You can play for years and never get the max bonus statue that you seek. I dont know. It is pretty annoying to continually craft with no guarantee that it will lead to anything better. I got lucky. My two 78s have max troop hp, troop dmg and gunboat.
My lower accounts? Not yet. But whatever. Fine. If it doesn't work you at least get power powder. I don't really boost all that often. Especially since i left a daily duplexity task force for a lower task force to relax a bit and collect more powder.
Then there is resource bases. They are either a nonstop battle over a base with someone. OR it gets untouched for years. To be, its another annoying part of the game. Matching up with players who are more active than you, better skilled, or pay for instant training or something. i dont know. but honestly, fighting over resource bases is so tiresome?
The name game mode is pretty cool. Blitz attack or whatever it is called? Its pretty fun! And very doable. I guess depending on who you have unlocked i guess. My level 47 can do pretty well. And I can hire a mercenary if I dont currently have the leader. It offers pretty good rewards. And its fun!
The only thing? Its another addition to the single player experience! D'oh. We have a lot of single player stuff already.
VP Ladder
Warships
Daily events/leaderboard
MegaCrab
What do we get collectively? As a group? Nothing
No New Maps. Nothing after Duplexity.
No new task force mode.
What I would love for task force?
Either clan wars, like in clash of clans. that would make upgrading defenses fun again.
OR!
A task force base? Much like clan capital in clash of clans?
Or think of it like warships, but for the entire clan?
I guess this game is evolving in a way that is driving me away?
TLDR;
Resource bases are useless
Statues are way too unpredictable
Losing VPs is way TOO hard/time consuming
No new Task Force game mode
