The slowest of slow sarcastic handclaps for inno- at not only breaking their promise to keep gvg, but also for probably;y killing off the long term players who form backbone of the brains trusts on the servers and who spent years building guilds to fight on the one part the game that required fast thinking and speed of action and split second teamwork-
we will mourn the split second teamwork, the nanosecond wins on sieges, the DA drops to save a sector
Will the replacement need split second teamwork?
i - doubt it. it WILL have a big buy diamonds button in the middle of the screen, and you will be more able to pay your way out of lack of planning or other trouble easier than in gvg i bet....
I think ts 7 years now playing. with no gvg i doubt i will see 8 roll round.
Yes GVG is imperfect- BUT- it is unique in the game, and its imperfections- some add as well as detract- and the major flaw of reset at fixed tie is EASILY fixable by putting gvg reset on 23hr or 25 hr timer so it slowly moves round the day as calendar months rotate almost.. everyone would get a chance to fight round 24hrs that way.
But no. beancounters chasing diamond sales dont like fact its a part game that favours slow future plannning and long lead times and player growth stuff.
So now they kill the part the game that keeps lot the big old players playing.
what will happen next?
sadly i se no future- inno are roke and tryng towring more money from falling playerbase, and are gonna lose lott long term dedicated players with this change.
And no this poxy raids replacement is NOT gonna cut the mustard. it sounds like pvp for guilds, and pvp sucks, is no teamwork.
So curses- it was good game while it alsted. Sadly, inno ripped the best bt out and ruined the overall game in doing so.
i wont be playing a year after gvg endss, mark my words. I will keep touch with friends made over whatsapp, and prob go play eve online...
