Tournaments are rigged

The game can be addictive and is enjoyable for a while, but like everyone else has mentioned, you eventually reach a wall where you absolutely have to spend money to compete or progress in the story. Arena tournaments are the most notorious for this. I’m almost always the weakest army in the tournament, sometimes getting matched up with other players who are three or four times my strength. Usually I have no chance which is no fun, and fun is the point of playing. I grind on this game so much. Been playing daily for over a year now and haven’t won a tournament or came even close to it after maybe the first week or so of playing. You need five star players to compete, and you can watch ads to get diamonds to upgrade your characters but the ads only give you 5 diamonds per ad with a limit of how many you can watch at a time. You can get more in the portal when it’s open but it’s unlikely you’ll get more than 100 before the portal shuts. You need 2,000 diamonds to get your character to 5 stars. That’s on top of the diamonds you’ve likely spent to get them from three stars to a four. Please update to where the tournaments are more even. Matching me with several players in a tournament that are over A MILLION squad points higher than my own is dumb and unfair. If as many people play this game as you all claim, the grouping certainly can’t come from a lack of online players. I know this company wants to make money, but gee-wiz. Cut us some slack.

Get your games straight

First and foremost I do enjoy the game I seriously do however the event were you get to spin and use the 100 snowflakes to spin and see what kind of prize you get is completely not worth it, it’s simply ment for you to think you have a chance to win something big and trust I have checked with my alliance members and none of them have posted any big wins that’s insane !! You have a great app why do push people away by making these stupid excuses for a great game?? Why!!!! We are loyal customer and you by far treating this like this nothing also the time it takes to get support from you is almost impossible seriously a reply to my iCloud would be nice. By the this reminds me of the 2accounts I have lost so far! YES YES YES 2 !!! 2 flipping accounts on this one device. What is the point of linking it with Game Center if it won’t remember you if the app was deleted by accident or cleared ? My account is still the same with Game Center so was my data not saved or was this just left behind I do make purchases with my games and I do want to buy some stuff here but how can feel secure that if I lose my app or phone again I will also get the investment I put into the game back well because I won’t that’s why. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

Slow going

First of all, it’s not as exciting as they make it out to be in the advertising, a bit boring compared to the advertising. Some of the side events aren’t even playable unless you spend money on it due to being under powered. The arena for example, with all your stats maxed out and the best weapons and armor you can find, a couple weeks into the game you’ll find yourself being the weakest person on the list unable to get through one round. Just happens you have to beat a certain number of players for the achievement, good luck beating one if your lucky because they’ll match you to players who spend money ( which is probably deliberate to inspire you to spend ). I’ve been playing for over a year and at this point it’s just unrewarding repetition. Clear the lands, watch a ton of advertisements, some of them lock up the game and cause you to restart. Game support is unresponsive regarding the issue. My advice on many of these games in the App Store, buy a console if you don’t have one already, play console games. Once in a while you may feel compelled to buy an add on but the console games are far less money and you won’t spend a year watching timers count down. A huge problem, pretty much every time you reach another realm it can take months to develop your fighters to a strength in which they can even start completing the fighting stages, then you whip through the realm and repeat the whole process. These negative factors make the game pretty boring.
