Comments for War Clicks

You mean production per second? That's already available for every unit within the settings, and we will also be adding a total production/s setting soon :) Or is it something else you mean?

This is a known issue- but we didn't properly resolve it, as it should happen in very rare cases, especially when the countries have tons of players. But it is annoying nonetheless. Calculating it based on seconds left is an option, or we first also thought we could resolve is basically just add "max possible damage you could do" to anyone who finished it. However, we'd have to make sure that extra damage doesn't break some calculations, which is why it also wasn't prioritized yet. but will put it on the list so we can do something with it. The "issue" is only, how to present that to users - maybe it will be enough for "those who care" to look about it in help/ask us. Or maybe some small tip/note that it will add full damage anyway. We'll figure something out - thanks for pointing this out, first one who did actually, that's why I say it's a rare case that we didn't prioritize :P

Well...this will sound cheesy, but the community here is awesome so we love the interaction really! Thanks for your kind words, looking forward to improving the game further :)

I hope we can add a "farm" option this week. It's been on our list for a while, just need to ensure it doesn't break something. We will also be looking at WZ re-balancing very soon - primarily bosses and support power. One of our first design considerations with support power was actually adding an idle element to it, but we felt it actually "ruined" War Zone in some ways. Also, in War Zone specifically we have to replicate every single click in correct order on server side to ensure 100% sync, and with a such idle element added things could get real messy. There might be some mid way to getting it improved like that - will discuss it with the team in the following weeks and see if we can do something to improve that. But there are a bunch of pressing updates so don't expect to hear any concrete feedback on that too ("idle support power") soon I'm afraid. But thanks for mentioning it and getting us thinking about that again :)

Very solid suggestion. We discussed this once already, and I think we will again. It's not the easiest to implement with the way how things work currently, but we should be able to. Or maybe just display "gold" status to members who purchased. But then again, it's also something some members would NOT like to show up as it's essentially private info. I will bring this up in one of our meetings, I surely think there might be a way to make this work and it being friendly to all. But I have to say it's not at our topmost priorities, but might be something we could look in a month's time.

The limit is actually gone after 3rd deploy. The limit is there to ensure that first time players (not familiar with prestige mechanics) make "proper use" of the deploy option, and not use it when it's not "worth it" - i.e. as a general rule you at least double your production. As otherwise they might get a terrible experience. Does it to you feel that you'd really want to play differently the first few deploys?

Thanks, will look into this. Maybe it chose a wrong index by default. If I can replicate it should be easily solvable! Actually one question - did you in the same session complete another PvP before already, where you chose either the 2nd or 3rd choice? EDIT: This has been fixed.

I'm hoping we can add this within a week's update. Basically a note that based on your current production shows how long before you gain enough contractors to double your production. Does that sound good to you - or in your opinion, another note- i.e. when you gain 50% of production etc.? Should be able to calculate this, so maybe even a few different notes (i.e. 50%, 100%, 200% increase).

Yeah it's a life savior!

There are indeed many options, but we tried to design the game without relying on gold to have a fun experience - it helps speed it up and make it more convenient, but even without it you can progress through all the content just as much. In fact some of our top users in other version never bought a single gold!

Thanks for the thoughts, will discuss this in the team and consider if we'd like to change something. But if you don't mind a few thoughts from my end: As to date we have been very careful with gold and feel it is adequately balanced, but maybe it deserves another look in some cases, primarily in Boot Camp's early game. As I feel that that's where you're coming from and it might be most noticeable. As when you'll hit privatization that will give you a huge boost again. So it's mainly the difference until getting to there. In War Zone gold doesn't really give any big progress benefits, it mainly makes things a bit more convenient. And WZ is more of a means to collect gold via various ways. As for HQ - I ran out of writing space :D But I'd happily elaborate on our view (in a forum post maybe?) and that some things might seem too gold dependent, where they really are not, as we designed them to ensure it doesn't happen.

There are some things that work differently architecturally that we'd like to make sure work properly. For example - like setting your country automatically doesn't work here, so we have to fix/change something. Plus the game on Kongregate is from scratch, and is using different databases/servers (but same code), so it's another thing we want to make sure works 100%.

We have some plans to improve it in the following weeks. First make it more usable via PvP upgrades giving DPC mx boosts, make skip option work better and some other unclarities/issues with it. Or do you perhaps just hate that it "break the attacking loop"?

We deliberately don't want this to become "deploy fest" from the start. i.e. you can play for 10 hours straight continuously re-deploying. We want players to be able to progress nicely with short-mid game session length. Still we will consider changing progression speed at various points (or adapt some multipliers) based on feedback, and see at which points you might feel there's not enough progress. Opinions on specific game-points are really helpful to us so thanks for that :)

At later stages Boot Camp will have a significant effect on War Zone progression, as any deployed units become "support units" in War Zone, affecting your damage output, as well as serving a purpose in defeating tougher Boss Battles.

We've debated around this several times in our team as well, as one can argue "it's just a number" and not really meaningful, but in short (sorry not that short really!): The game started off as a small project where we added high-scores "for the sake of it" and because we like seeing it as a sort of "achievement" and comparison to others as well - believe it or not many of our players like the stats, and would even like to see more types of them. We also wanted to experiment with (yes you'll read this right) making idle games have meaningful competitions, that can reshape/shift the scales and keep things "competitive" for longer. Currently we have "weekly competitions", that are based just on these numbers, but the rewards from them also help keep progression curve slightly up at later stages. And also, again a lot of our players like them! So even if they may not be a core element of the gameplay, it still makes it as sort of an achievement and more interesting to many players.
