dear izeagle.
1 - i am not close to developers in any way. i share my ideas (the ones that makes sense) and talk to them alot. i am one of first ones to report all bugs and glitches, that is true. however every single of my posts on this forum is being checked by forum moderators. i respect every player in this game that doesn't abuse glitches.
2 - i am dfs user myself. to be honest i am a pioneer of dfs/emp combo. ask anyone who played this long enough (from beta days) they will confirm it. it is not my fault that people started using my tactics and it got spread quickly. i did not pick to reduce the damage from them that would be a stupid move for being a dfs user myself. however i have always said that extra sam and couple more air mines would be great. why? simply because sentry's are not powerful enough if sams are disabled. to top things up not many in this game know how to build a strong anti air base, they just copy someone that they lost against once or twice.
3 - i am against any reduction of power of any troops heroes or skills. why? simply because people spend a lot of time and/or money to max them and their power get reduced. this is even against app store rules to reduce the quality of purchased content. its the same as you would buy an imac with 8gb of ram and someone remotely would disable 4gb just because it's too powerfull. if activision wanted to balance the game properly they would everything the same just add more defenses and problem solved.
now that my questions to you are answered, let me explain how i see it why it happened, as i used my brain to figure it out instead of making something out of someones comment.
fact 1 new troops are coming in 1.8!
this raise a question... how to make people want them badly from day 1? reduce the power and effect of the ones you have maxed already!
fact 2 dfs got widespread and maxed very quickly, this has generated enough cash to move on.
this raise a question.... how do i know that? well simple again... everything that gets overused gets nerfed in this game, gunship, many different skills, ilonas aura etc. as fine example!
fact 3 game is not balanced towards attack now, but more towards defense!
this once again raise the question.... but why? well simple, for some players is difficult to go back to ground attacks, as it doesn't guarantee 3 star wins on stronger opponents, so they need more skill points and that my friend is cash or hours and hours of killing noob bases which not many willing to do.
fact 4 and there is no question to it! this game just like many others is a big business. activision is a company just like any other company that is interested to make profit! if you don't like how they do it, it's your problem! you either accept it or move on to another game. so it's my suggestion to everyone, stop moaning that you can't win! if game too hard for you find something easier to waste your time on. complain about bugs, glitches to help try fix whats broken, but not about that you cant win!
have a nice day Iz and everyone else!))
