On the topic of wars: mixed messages

[Musashi69]

Well BK is going to 33 now, I guess I will be on forums until he is maxed and then I will drop the topic too, lol.

lol, i farmed my heroes to both 30, then would only gem time if war is winnable or whenever my de bin gets full. then when my heroes got 35, well screw that, they are beast, i started wanting them with me every raid and every war. still farmed the de of course, because thats the easy part.

I think supercell already learned that by reducing barracks boost cost more people would boost. By reducing her heal time more people would boost heros. We all want good value for our spend.

I'm sure if you could wake your hero for 2 hours for 10 gems then EVERYONE would do it.

Hey thats a great sugegstion..

Really not trying to beat you down, it would be great. Ive stopped upgrading mine at 36. Stopped at 35, tried again a few weeks later and hated being hero-less so much im not doing it anymore.

Its a choice. There is no business outside of non-profit, that thinks they make enough money. There can always be more.

Imagine standing in front of an enormous slot machine that starts pouring out money to you. You going to walk away after a little while just cos your pockets are full? Or you gonna go find a bucket. Or a wheelbarrow. Or a dump truck.

Get this in IFA immediately!!!
(Might already be there) also, rather cheaper than the 70+ gems just to wake from a damage nap. So although lovely, seems impossibly unlikely too.

Hehe yeah a big ♥♥♥ truck.

But I still feel like, if they make a more fun game, that will make more people join, which is more $$$ long term.

Yeah but it sucked for us. A less sucky experience would be more fun. More fun, more people, more $$$. Forcing choices has never been a winning business strategy imo.

Meh. Doesnt necessarily directly follow, or be their intention. Did you see the South Park about freemium?

The game has to be almost fun, or quite fun, so that it can be dramatically fun boosted by premium currency.

They have done some things in the way you are thinking, but only because it eventually means more gems spent per head.

Examples being hero regen cut, and boost price reduction.

25 gems for 45 mins barrack boost?
No-one boosts.
10 gems for 2 hours? LOADS of people boost.

Everyone complaining about hero nerf? Regen times too long to make it worth boosting for farming?
Cut regen time. People cheer up, all of a sudden a fully dead hero is awake for every average army cook time when they are boosted.

SC win. I boost my king now for champ farming. I wouldnt before, it can be difficult to limit his damage, pointless boosting if he is only available every other raid. Much more attractive prospect to have him every raid. There you go, they win an extra 10 gems from me, and countless others, for every 2 hours of farming.
