Quick take on this update:
As a player of 10 worlds and Beta, I have noticed a change on this.
1. The game is a very glitchy and in GvG my troops flash, like they are blinking at me. Could that be the next update or AFE Part 2, YES, it could be. I can't file a report on it as they tell me that I should not be playing this game on IE and for 2 years I never had a problem and my flash is updated weekly and even has the newest updates as of 2 days ago.
2. As a higher level player in my Primary World, it has benefitted me as now it is even easier for me to crush stuff with my rogues and YES, the AI NOW Targets my Main or Single Troops first, which "the game" claimed was a bug on Beta and it was being fixed, clearly that BUG has been put out now on the live servers.
3. For the lower levels, it causes them a lot of trouble in fighting with rogues. There are many in my guild who have complained about losing their main troops and the rogue not being targeted. Have we tried to discuss it and have a work around, yes we have, but it does not help everyone.
This update seems to help and assist the higher levels and hurt the lower levels. It seems like the game has decided that the Rogue is not that important anymore and I have spent a great deal on getting them and having a lot of them. That said, I find it sad that the game is always changing the way the rules are to be played, it is truly sad that "the game" cannot find the proper talent to FIX the problems and NOT have to do these petty workarounds that ONLY CAUSE YET ANOTHER ISSUE. This is totally "the game's" fault for the lack of resources dedicated to FIX THE PROBLEMS and NOT JUST PUT A Band-Aid on the problem. I say, FIX IT, FIX the servers, FIX the chat breaks, FIX the problems and allow us a fairly error free game. Heck, you spend enough on advertising and have enough sales to entice us players to pay up to play the game and some (like myself) do. What are you doing with our money, paying people, well I say HIRE the RIGHT PEOPLE TO FIX THINGS. The way the rogues were before, were FINE, NOW you mess it up. Does it benefit me, YES it does. Does it hurt a majority of the players, YES IT DOES. I am truly shocked how the game cannot see these really simple things. From a business standpoint, this is horrible, you are reducing the value of the most powerful Military Unit in the game and all the sales that it gives you, in diamond sales from people wanting them and coveting them. I really am truly shocked. It seems NO MATTER what feedback you get on Beta, you just don't care at all. Why bother having a Beta at all. Then "the game" claims this was a mistake, but you implement it anyway. Seriously, do I even have to say anything more.
