How do I undo this new game update? The previous was much better and just needed a little tweaking and you have given us a much different game to learn.  At least give us the option to use the old attack set up which was much quicker and less annoying. If you want all of our attacks to be preset so we can waste more tools and troops then I'll find another way to waste my time.

These so called updates need to go :~(

One of the most annoying things about this update is having to scroll down to the relevant tool each time instead of saving the place of the last tool used when changing to a new flank/wave

 In the post from Poseidon referencing the new attack screen, nothing was mentioned that we haven't already figured out,  in consequence it does not make the new screen ant more usable or any less STUPID!

la préselection ne marche pas !!

Whoever designed and decided that this latest update was a good idea needs to be fired from their position straight away!!! Never before have I seen such a God awful "update" (that's a laugh) to a game in my life. Attacking now is virtually impossible. Autofil is the only way of sending an attack and that doesn't always give great results as players will know. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE put it back to how it was and STOP trying to fix things that aren't broken!

lol......so.  What is it with the General's XP points.  I stopped scoring these in Day 2 of Sams apart from 4 attacks in FI giving 20 XP points each.  Others seem to score freely on a daily basis so what do I need to do to get these points?

Try your annoying generic Survey Monkey now. I know you pay no attention to the results as long as you are raking in the coin by preying on the players egos and impatience. Nothing good will come from this latest update except that people will find something more productive to do with their lives away from this used to be game.

Terrible situation, obviously the update wasn't tested properly and not only that it seems ill thought out.

I have nothing positive to say about it other than I'm positive I really really don't like it.

That said it's not a big problem for me as I'm 80% sure that I'll be leaving the game after at least ten years, sad really.

Time ago (I've been playing since 2014 or so) you had a test server with players testing the update before releasing. Do you still have?
If yes, why tester players didn't warn you of bugs and loss of interest in game?
If not, why do you risk such big updates all at onece without testing?

In case of important software changes it is good practice to keep a backup of previous version; don't you have one, to undo update and avoid people leaving the game? Once back, you could release updates in smaller steps.

I am going to log in more often to forum than in game; game is no more fun, it plays itself using its bugged rules, no need of human players.

take out that deplorable poverty of updates that are only garbage implemented on this game, admins on the forum are trying in vain to convey to those poor people from GGE that they want money to put in their accounts, shame on you at GGE because you broke the game and made it more and more difficult, you want money, you won't receive any more money until you restore the game as it was, as simple as it was for everyone. not everyone can afford to grow an account or have mead soldiers or sceat coins, or other tools to help develop accounts, not everyone can keep hundreds or millions of soldiers on their account. We will Petition at the national level on all servers to stop putting money on this game which is already full of garbage on it.

All in favour of being tortured slowly can continue playing the game with the new update. All those who rather want to watch a snail move than playing with the new attack setup are now free to leave. I would have made my 10 year anniversary playing this game in 2023. Guess I will be doing other things instead.,,,

Does anyone remember what the October 2021 update was?
[5242141] reblousou (GB1) [GB1] :: Oct. 12, 2022, 5:37 p.m.
So, we've suffered yet another "hotfix" that turns out to be neither hot nor a fix for the real issues with the update.... I dared to dream this one might actually have been gge accepting the attack screen isn't fit for purpose and reverting us to the old one, but hey I've always been an optimist lol pretty soon gge will have beaten that optimism out of me, I'm sure.

so a very clear message to gge, THE NEW ATTACK SCREEN DOES NOT NEED A FIX
                                                   THE NEW ATTACK SCREEN DOES NOT NEED A GUIDE THROUGH
                                                   THE NEW ATTACK SCREEN NEEDS TO BE DUMPED AS ITS NOT FIT FOR                                                                                               PURPOSE AND IS RUINING THE LITTLE PLEASURE LEFT IN THE GAME

oh and that last hotfix didnt actually fix even the items it was supposed to fix lol 
now if you use autofils and pre select which waves and flanks you want it to fill you will find that the tick boxes you've selected do now stay on your selection for the next hit but.............hit autofill and it will fill all waves all slots regardless of the your selections lol 
so in fixing an issue gge you've created another

After a while trying to adapt to the new interface I say that it only wins in one point: being able to have an overview of all the waves. Other than that, it's not practical at all and it's very easy to get lost in it.
[5242247] Harushi (BR1) [BR1] :: Oct. 13, 2022, 12:55 a.m.
you can see that 99% of the comments are negative. Do something!

Hi, can we have the old UI? thanks!
[5242343] kinggeert (NL1) [NL1] :: Oct. 13, 2022, 12:22 p.m.
ik speel al iets meer dan 10 jaar
het nieuwe aanvalsscherm hoe het ook wordt verandert het blijft klein voor een laptop en als je wat minder ziet
ook zie je niet hoeveel sols en tuig je in je hk als je 1 aanval doet noch hoeveel sols en tuig je gebruikt
het duurt ellelang om alle vakken in te vullen
zolang dit niet is zoals vroeger speel ik enkel nog storm
de grote update van de eeuw is en blijft de grootste flop van de eeuw
[5242345] L V H (SA1) [SA1] :: Oct. 13, 2022, 12:33 p.m.

Please add a box to return the classic and the new (for the attack interface) .
Thank you .
