and the highest were in the 3k region for troops .
since level 70 bcs anywhere from 64-450 ( with 2 last event over 700 )
FIs were practically the same 95% were 400-500 I had 3 at 700 and 1 at 1500 and 1 at 3300.
45 minute travel times(wings) x2 armies non stop pretty well for the full length of the event .
dismal grinding and non stop red production , rewards payoffs hardly worthwhile .
on the 27th we will find out what surprises are in store for us .
I fear more of the same .
Philt123 (GB1) said:I think the days of pretending they are in any way real are long gone. GGE tried it to start with but was guite obviously just a story they dreamed up.
^^^^^ Nailed it.
The announcement is still up on the forums from when they put this event together. (I dug it up a few months ago and reposted it on US1) The IDEA was to see is they could simulate what would happen in a cross server battle. It was supposed to be captured data from each events actions, and use those for the next one. So, USA V GERMANY would be set. (Obviously the 1st one would only have simulations - as no data to pull from) Then, the German server would send their attacks. THOSE attacks were to be captured and used as the attacks from the FLs on the USA server the next round. And vise versa. Also, during the event the defense setups used against the FLs attacks were to be captured. Again, THOSE setups were to be the FL's defensive setups used against US1 for the next round.
Clearly, NO ONE is sending untooled attacks using only spearwomen against a FL castle. NOR sending loot commanders with defense troops against them. Defense? Well, maybe they do get fairly close to the defense being used. It does only take 500 - 700 defenders, properly tooled to beat 95% of the incoming attacks from FLs. (But, I do NOT believe they are capturing our data for the other side's play)
The reality is that the servers are too unevenly matched for this event to be played as designed. They clearly TRY to match the servers properly, Asia1 V Asia2, US1 V Germany, etc. etc. Stronger v Stronger and Smaller v Smaller. But, there is still too much disparity from one to the other.
Therefore, we get what GGS wants to give us.
Usually, what they give us seems to resemble one of the fingers...............
(Care to guess which one? )
