I don't have any hopes that the maps will slow down from where they are at which is already slow. Unless you want to sit and watch a map that moves slower all day I am not sure why you want blue boosts used in GbG either. You can say that your guild or a few top guilds can still move fast on a whole map with this and maybe so but they will have less fights available in GbG if everyone else can't do as much.
You really don't get it. The majority of players in Diamond League have, or soon will have, blue boosts strong enough to handle a lot of attrition. Adding a blue boost feature to GBG will affect some players, perhaps including you, that stuck their head in the sand instead of using the available time to prepare. I'm looking forward to blue GBG because it will add another challenge to the game. Something, I believe, many endgame players feel is missing. For me, this game has become incredibly easy (even as a F2P player). Increasing the level of difficulty is something that I Iook forward to.
Do you really think that using blue boosts instead of red is going to make GbG harder for you if you are in a top guild? If not, it isn't a challenge to use the blue boosts. It is simply a case of getting in less fights compared to using red boost.
Yes, I think that having to use blue boosts in GBG will make some battles more difficult, at least initially (and this is why you have been complaining about it).
No it won't. I've done absolutely nothing to prepare for it and if GBG switched to exclusively blue stats tomorrow it would have very little to no effect on my effective daily maximum number of fights. My daily fights are capped by the total number of fights available on the board and the four hour lockdown after a tile switches owners, not by my fighting stats which have been ridiculously boosted by the new buildings over the last year. And I am not a diamond buyer. As fighting stats continue to improve, this problem will continue to get worse.
Apparently they were going to add event related dailies but they changed their minds, so we don't have them this time around.
You are limited to between 800 to 1000 fights per day depending on your boost and era. Attrition is the limiting factor not the total amount of fights on the map. My max is about 840 fights per day and my boost is over 5200/5500 , attrition stops me every time.
But it doesn't say "Viking Shield Maiden". It says, "Viking Raider". Folklore is not the same as History. Medusa and Lancelot don't belong in "History" either. It's not like there was a shortage of confirmable, named historical individuals for them to choose. Even if they specifically wanted to include more women. Grace Hopper, Indira Ghandi, Sappho, Queen Liliuokalani, Barbara Fritchie. I'll bet someone at Inno has internet access and could have done a search. If they wanted a historically verifiable generic female warrior, they could have gone with Amazons.
That's nothing to do with red boosts and blue boosts. That's the gradual withering of all but a small handful of top guilds on each world.
Yes and it was mentioned in one of their last announcements to all players.
Now they're just trolling us.
Compare the History Event Rivals on beta with those on live and you will see that this is not true.
Give me HAU with good boost and I will show you more than 1k battles a day lol.
Have you used HAUs? I have, on two worlds and am still using them (2 years now) on one of them. On my first attempt I screwed up on the techs and only got hovers in Indy. This was back before the changes to GBG. I don't recall what my attack boost was but this was pre-powercreep. One day I decided to see how high I could run my attrition. I got it up to 151 (the upper limit at the time) and stopped. On my current HAU world I got the full monty of HAUs in Indy. I've since aged up to PE. My attack boost is a paltry 1500/1400. Same as before, I tried once to see how far I could go. Got to 200 and stopped. The one thing that both adventures have in common is that I used up thousands of diamonds healing units each time. So, yes, with a good boost and HAUs, getting over 200 attrition is possible (not sure about 400 and that's what it will take to get 2k battles) but be prepared to spend a lot of diamonds. For me, the cost vastly exceeded the benefit.
And that's a bummer because I've focused on RED and not BLUE for these past few years. I DITCHED all blue items out of my city including Athlon abbey.
