Couple of Suggestions.
I've been playing this game now for some time, with several accounts. I've been playing as a paying and a non paying player to see both sides of the game.
And these are a couple of suggestions to the developers:
1. Shields and Relocations:
There should be a small cooldown on shields and relocations for a more fluent game experience for everyone. For the time beeing it is next to impossible to hit someone back when they attack. Due to the fact that you are allowed to shield while sending out an attack.
A small cooldown could fix this. Here are a couple of examples:
If a player relocates the type of relocation scroll just used goes on a cooldown. Lets say this player uses a relocation scroll and that scroll goes on a cooldown, the only relocation scroll that player is allowed to use instantly then is a different type (great relocation or random relocation)
Same goes with shields, if a player activates/inactives an 8hr shield for example that shield should go on a cooldown. And the only shield allowed to be used instantly is a different kind (24hrs and so on).
Aswell as you should NOT be able to activate a shield until your troops are back from their attack.
2. Server Time Clock:
One thing that has been bugging me and alot of other players are the lack of a server time clock.
With all the different timezone players it is hard to plan something as a clan without an ingame server time clock somewhere.
3. Gold "Buy and Apply" improvement:
The current "Buy and Apply" should be improved with a confirmation box asking if you really want to spend gold on that purchase.
With the option to choose not to get that message until next login. This is because of the lag spikes that currently happen once in awhile.
When that lag spike happens and youll try to use an item you have in your inventory it counts every click you do. So if you've spammed that button during the lag, it will use up the item you have and then continue to use up your gold.
This is something I have experienced myself aswell as alot of other players.
4. Kingdom Clean-ups and new players:
There should be a faster removal of all inactive accounts. Specially the accounts lower than level 6.
Currently the kingdoms are flooded with inactive players that will never return to the game, taking up strategical positions that active players could use.
And for the love of Odin... please stop spitting out new kingdoms all the time. Populate the current kingdoms first. Sure, there are a ton of towns in each kingdom but most of the players have quit the game as stated above.
The older kingdoms hardly ever get new players except for those transfering over before hitting level 6.
And that means that the smaller clans have a hard time recruiting new members and progress.
5. "Send Gift"
Will we ever see this feature again?
6. Reinforcements:
When Sending reinforcements to a town you are already reinforcing, your troops should automatically merge into one "march/garrison unit". Instead of having to recall the first march and merge them in your hometown.
7. Memory leaks (PC)
Currently the web and facebook gameroom client memory leaks like crazy, even with a high end gaming PC it allocates the cpu and memory to the max. When will the developers focus on fixing this? Would be nice to have a PC client as smooth as the mobile client.
8. Clan Chat:
Cybelsias said:
"I feel interclan messaging could use some upgrades. Yes, there is the "Download the line app" to talk to people. But do you really want people having to download another app to be able to create chatrooms to have leadership talks, and strategy groups for those who will be coordinating attacks? OR would you rather them being doing that in game, increasing the time spent in game. I am just saying this is a missed opportunity to keep members engaged in your game instead of having to switch between apps."
9. Stronghold:
"- Inhibit relocation of enemies inside the area of your stronghold
- move all non clanmembers out of the stronghold area to a random location outside when it is build"
10. GameMasters:
We need active common chat GameMasters. Currently the Common Chat in many kingdoms is a mess. It has gone to the point of people never looking back after joining a Clan.
There needs to be someone there to moderate the chat to make it a fun place to hang out in again. Without the racism, sexism, bullying and grown ups trying to sweet talk minors.
11. Scouts:
"Personally Id like to see more with scouts, like being able to send scouts to tiles either to peak @ what troops are gathering resources or even as an active look-out function @ tiles so if someone tries to tile hit you have a % chance to evac etc."
12. Better Event Information:
There should be abit more detailed information about events new and old. That states what the prize is for the winners and so on.
13. Better Clan Statistics for Leaders/Members
Would be nice with a more in depth statistics page for clan members, for elders and chiefs to check.
