#Temporarily reduce the promotion time for boss strike units to 2 minutes for rank 1-6

Hey everyone! We’re back! We got a foot in the door with the last post, but it seems they need extra motivation to meaningfully implement the idea suggested.

Rank 3 is almost pointless for the sky raptor for max rank players. With 160 hp It’ll die every battle from any AA attack, or even from the DOT. Meaning it probably won’t even live to see the enemy planes. Yet alone kill them. Which is its sole purpose.

Right now it’s a much weaker option compared to the chucker (which is immune to cold)

We need it to be rank 6. This is what rank it would be if prerank was a thing, for those level 50 and above.

We know they have technical difficulties with preranking and we made a workaround for that! But c’mon. We asked for all boss strike rewards to be easy to get to r6 during the strike so they can be useful to us. What we got was skyraptor having rank 2 and 3 reduced to 2 minutes each, which cuts 16 hours off of the 5 days and 16 hours needed to promote this unit from R1-R6, leaving us to nano 5 days worth of promotions just to be able to use this unit. This “fix” they did comes way too short of solving the problem the last thread presented a solution for. And used that as cause to shutdown the last suggestion. This is a middle finger to our great community and we gotta demand better.

Let’s get this back up there for them to see! We want a better fix to account for the absence of preranking for these much needed units! They are invaluable to this strike! And it would be a huge quality of life improvement for everyone who wants to enjoy the strike.

Would love to see them comment and give clarification on what they’re actually doing in regard to our workaround for preranking.

Edit: lmao, they’re trying to actually take credit for trying to make our lives easier by implementing this. What a joke

It’s really weird that they chose to stop at r3 for quick ranking. Leaving the longest promotion timers still locking out most people from using the Skyraptor.

I mean the skyraptor is competitive AA at R3

#

Further than that it’s honestly broken as AA

#

With 160 hp it’s far too fragile to use. With there being air units in even the last waves in some formations.

#

It’ll be long dead from dot before the battle is over. Or if any silver wolves hit it. It’ll be a one shot kill.

To add to this the pre rank “should” be to R6 anyways for everyone above level 51. So increasing the 2 minute timers to R6 wouldn’t be that much of a stretch

I believe they have probably thought it out enough to where they aren’t going to re-update the game again

#

Whether we agree or disagree

#

If the SW air units are as scary as everyone thinks they will be, this is just going to lock out F2P from participating. All the P2W are going to nano the raptor to 7

Id honestly rather they reduced the timers for R3-R6 and keep the R2 and R3 timers lol

torn ember
#

R3-6 timers are the killers

#

But if they reduced the r1-3 timers to 2 minutes and moved the r2 and 3 timers to r4 and 5 that would be progress. But if it’s days then wth was the point of the rank 1-3

Would be nice to get clarification from them. If it’s just what they say it is then that’s unacceptable imo.

I found it weird that they stopped at R3 too tbh. F2P aa is already difficult to come by for this strike, so I would like the logic behind it

💀

#

Like every AA attack the silver wolves have will one shot it

rustic gust
#

they made the promo timers of the shortest ranks

#

which is

#

i have no words

#

at best, as a f2p, u can get it to r5 at like mddle of the bs event

torn ember
#

Not even. R4 is 1 day and r5 is two days.

I was happy when I saw they sent the implemented gif on the other thread. But then was very disappointed when I saw what they actually took away from the thread.

#

Feels very misleading when they say “implemented”

arctic panther
#

In his defense, he did say partially 😂 I’m not f2p but I have many guild mates that I already know are gonna struggle to get through all the waves due to the main reason being those mf silver wolf planes. Sucks that the f2p options we do have can easily get one shotted

rustic gust
#

if u get something from z3

#

its always crumbs

#

they cant even stomach giving something to ppl wholeheartedly

It wasn’t until someone mentioned the low nanopod count that they decided to give out more, like it shouldn’t have to be like that man :/

And we also wanted it for all boss strike rewards. Only got the sky raptor

#

I’d say it’s around 5% 😅

keep the poor poor

peasants should not get anything

#

Nah, you right, we got too much today, we’re complaining at this point. As some would say

Shiiiiiiii

#

Makes sense why they partially implemented it then 🤣

torn ember
#

They threw us a little piece of scrap hoping we would go away and be happy, instead of addressing the issue we presented. Let’s see if this gets enough attention to draw them back to it.

Do it right or dont do it at all.
This is Like saying Yes, we can do that, but f you.

#

Feels like they did that half ass adjustment just to shut down the other suggestions which was getting popular.

#

And wasn't said that we don't want to cause problems and then sell the solution ?

rustic gust
#

this is just teasing f2p with their r4/r5 raptors

torn ember
#

Problems isn’t what we want to cause. But we gotta call them out on this type of stuff so it doesn’t become a trend.

#

in seeing their p2w friends nano to r7

Another good thing Madrona could do is uncap the pelican so it’s not locked at level 66. It lets people who don’t have boss strike rewards level a unit that is quite consistent at taking out air units too. Cause right now, the options are limited and not consistent at all

😂😂

#

As suspected. Idk why they even changed r2 and r3 to 2 minutes. It’s completely pointless if the other much needed promotions are locked behind a big time gate.

"We first attempted to make some adjustments through rewards, such as increasing access to anti-air and reducing timers."

Don't want to be too generous, be sure to buy a billion nomads though

#

Yeah with the changes that happened now, would be super helpful if the timers were reduced to 2 hours for people who were going for R7 and started that upgrade.

#

So that people can upgrade the nomads if they already spent some nanos trying to push through on the raptors.
