I think you overlooked a few things here. Stop thinking the entire world bows down to the U.S. and is bound by their laws. When you created an account you agreed to the games TOS, the laws the TOS goes by is THAT COUNTRIES laws, Australia in this case. Games that are distributed around the world do NOT abide by every single countries laws. I dislike the new look just as much as MANY others do, but you don’t get to try to force the devs to go by AMERICAN laws, because you feel you are entitled to it being your way.
1st,That is the AMERICAN with Disabilities Act, the game is from AUSTRALIA, which is NOT bound by AMERICAN Acts or laws.
2nd, Title II is about U.S. STATE and LOCAL government, last I checked AUSTRALIA was NOT in the state of California nor a part of the U.S. Government.
3rd, The U.S. DOJ does NOT have jurisdiction over Australia, and their decisions do NOT apply to another country.
4th, It says “…or accommodations of any place of PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION.” A game on YOUR phone/pc/tv/game system is NOT public, and does not apply here.
5th, 11. Jurisdictions and Disputes: Specifically says “…performed ENTIRELY WITHIN California BETWEEN California RESIDENTS.” Again, Australia is NOT in California, and the devs are NOT residents of California, and NOT bound by California laws.
6th, Section (i-ii) are null and void, the U.S. can NOT say “…any other country other than the U.S.,” they have no jurisdiction over what OTHER COUNTRIES do, and can NOT say other countries must follow the laws of a 3rd country. Australia is NOT a part of the EU countries and NOT bound by their laws either.
So what’s Australia’s equivalent to the US’s ADA? If someone wants to cite any legal standard the game should adhere to, that’s what they should be researching first.
Agreed. I’m not Australian and not trying to use legal standards, just pointed out the problem with others trying to use U.S. Acts and laws against other countries, it doesn’t work that way. I hate the new look too, but not enough to go digging into law books. If others want to try to use laws to get their own way, they can do their own homework.
I just wanted to +1 that this new design is terrible on mobile. I can’t even see some of the tiny tiny numbers because of the low contrast (green on green, blue on purple) that is happening.
It is really too bad because the general layout changes were an interesting idea, but the implementation is extremely flawed
For example, if the fonts were larger and white on a dark background, the new positions have a better separation of the targets to reduce (armor/life) from the less-frequently-changing attack stack.
He he, what 7 million. 7 million downloads is not 7 million active players. Over the past half a year, we can’t find 500 new top 1000+ level players to fill the holes in the 200 active guilds of the game. Just don’t play pvp and see your pvp rank at the end of the week. Or watch it at the end of the war, how many people played the war. OK, there are a lot of casual players, but at least they play something and get trophies. On taransworld we have a list with 2000 guilds. At the moment, 1769 have scored at least one trophy, 1769*30= 53070. But there are only 300-400 fully active guilds. Guilds where at least some of the players play, 700-800. The last thousand guilds are dead, where 3-4 people sometimes play. OK, all these are also players who can donate. As a result, we have 12,000 active players, another 10,000 players with average activity and 10,000 very casual players who do not play every day. I think it would be very cool, if 50K people played GOW in the last month.
In steamcharts, only the steam statistics are visible, but about the same for the entire audience. Since February, almost 17% of players have quit the game. Many active guilds now lack 2-3 players, many use twin accounts to fill holes for war and events. This was very clearly seen by the last Tower of Doom. If another 15-20% of players leave, the in-game economy will be disrupted. Guilds will not be able to close events, the load on the remaining players will grow and they will also get tired.
The game is in decline, players have been leaving for the last six months even without this update. If the devs ignore this problem, it may bring the end of the game closer. I think they know perfectly well how many players are active now and what the situation is with the outflow of players. They are hiding and conferring, otherwise they would have already written that “We will not change anything, if you don’t like it, you can leave. We don’t force you to play in our game.” This has already happened during the release of epic tasks. They disappeared and thought that to do. Now they think, OK, we spent several thousand dollars on development. Now we need to understand where we lose more: donations from departed players or the costs of changing this update and canceling the design of troops.
100% in agreement!! The new design is soooo awful and it is hazardous!! It effectively has cost the gake numerous players due to health concerns and possible Seizure side effects
This update is dreadful for the mature players that’s no longer a teenager with 20/20 vision. I’d need a double set of glasses (haha) to keep up. Whatever money I’ve spent in the past on this game for fun, consider the well dried up. Please refer this update asap!
This is the truth right here. The player base is declining FOR MONTHS. And this last attempt is to squeeeeeeeeze as much as they can from the few people that are left. And some, make no mistake, STILL PAY. There’s sooooo many people here that already reported that they spent $15-$30 to finish the underspire for this week. That’s insane. Especially if they do that EVERY WEEK moving forward.
The game is clearly going towards pay-to-win model. Or just… pay-to-play model. Ex: some very very old weapons that are REQUIRED by kingdom upgrades, can’t be crafted anymore. So, if you want to progress that kingdom, you gotta cough up cash. But the game is FREE… if you want to just match colors, not if you want to actually strive towards completing anything in the game.
I have been playing the game everyday and after the update my eyes cannot take it anymore!!
Not only the flashing which everybody is complaining, now I cannot even see my enemy health points clearly on my iphone.
Please either revert back or have an option to turn off all those useless flashy stuff.
You will lose a lot of regular players if you stick to this. I am definitely 1 of them
You know why this is upsetting? All the smartphones now share the same size display between 6.1 to 6.6 inches. The numbers look so tiny and nobody on the team saw this as a problem?. Beta testers have no fault they never listen to the true feedback. We are not asking for a total remake. But to be sensible and adjust font size color and background.
And all beta testers play the game on full screen on devices not smaller than 17’'? Because that’s when the numbers start to be legible for me. If I window the game and make it to the usual size I use - it’s nearly just as bad as on the phone.
Playing this game for 6 years now, first time I thought I have to leave the game because I simply can’t read what’s on the screen. Yes, the new design is readable on my big 4k screen but 95% of the time I’m playing on mobile or tablet. There it’s simply not.
I think all was said in this thread. Please developers, revert this GUI change. ASAP!
