First, the developers must have spent a ton of money on the Ads for this game, they are gorgeous and you think you will be involved as a POV during battles. Well, I was at level 25 and had yet to see any scenarios like the ones depicted in the ads. Second, there is no real strategy in the arena events, you just select the equipment allowed and the AI does the rest, not much thinking there. Third, there is no ‘bubble’ protection allowed for your base. If you happen to be on while you are being attacked, you may be able to defend somewhat-but unless you’re attacked by an idiot lower base you WILL be beaten and demolished, ditto when you are away, you have very little chance at a good defense, no matter how strong your walls or however many tanks etc you have. Oh, and they is no chance that you can retaliate, the cowards simply move their base and you cannot track them. Fourth, progress in building your tanks, artillery, troops,planes is EXCEEDINGLY slow! Count on playing for hours on end (happily for developers) with very little progress in offensive strength. Fifth, I was with several alliances and all were of virtually no help with leadership or battles. Sure, the ‘assist’ button is easy to press, but when needing help with attacking or even understanding how to take a village (still don’t know how that’s done-game refused to let me seize one). So after about 7 months of nearly daily play and still not getting any satisfaction or fun, I’m done! Thankfully I did not spend any $$ on this time waster.
We are truly sorry that you feel this way. Your opinion seems very profound, we definitely will help deliver them to the team. Arena needs strategies to come in, the base should also have shield protection after going offline. As for the last, alliance part, we believe that talking or communication plays a more important part in the game. If you care to share more, we are all ears.
