I've played 3 games now since the last update. All have been very unbalanced but the one last night was the most egregious. No.One and Timinator both finished in about a quarter the time it took anyone else. And at the time they were done, No.One has almost 15x my army production and Timinator has over 10x my production.

I am assuming that they and others have a massive AP advantage boosting them but it ruins the game for everyone else. Please reconsider how the game is balanced.

You're not even playing the last update. It isn't out yet for iOS, which I see you're playing on. Note in announcement it says it won't be out until January. Judge it once you get it, bro.

Well what happens in the next update anyway?

Before the update it was the players with high AP that always lost, now its the players with high AP that always win. This will deff need some rebalancing!

@Fizzer idk where you are basing this of, but I suspect that Danger is player from both phone and pc at the same time, and can play the battles in his browser (which should be updated at all times)

@Fizzer, while I do log in from both android and IOS I mostly play from my PC. I think I played all 3 WZIB games on PC but I definitely played the last two that way.

And if it's not the update, then what changed? Every game before yesterday was reasonably competitive with 1st place changing hands multiple times as attacks were made. And many people, including myself, finished at approximately the same time and had a chance of winning. That is a very different experience from the last day.

Edit: The difference in gameplay was so noticeable that I actually went out to look to see if there had been a game update.

Double Edit: How does WZIB even work if some players are using the new update and others are not?

Balancing battles are tricky. Recently played a siege of feldmere where No.One was buried under attacks and finished last. Played a floating rocks where he won in like 25% of the time of anyone else. No.One and Timi are outliers in terms of their AP.

I think the current system is a lot better than the previous system where I actively tried to hurt my progress in order to take fewer attacks.

So I just played again (on PC) and it was back to the usual feel of the game where I ended up bouncing around in rank and ended up in 8th. I did nothing different.

No.One - Sorry to call you out but can you comment from your perspective? You were in the game (1PM PST). It looked like you still had a massive army/turn advantage (42/sec vs 2/sec at game start and it stayed nearly as high a ratio throughout) but then you hovered in the bottom half of the rankings which seems like a reversion to how it worked previously.

Isn't it still beta? At least for me it says so. Unbalances, errors are to be expected in this phase. But I believe Fizzer is working on that. For myself, I am happy to be able to play this game in beta. Though I am aware that it cannot be 100% perfect at this state.

The game is indeed in beta, and balancing issues will most likely persist even when it's out of beta. It'll most likely be a game of cat and mouse; players find some kind of 'exploit/strategy', developer fixes some stuff. Don't be worried about the balance in one particular update; discussing with others and Fizzer (in a civil manner) will likely result in more balance.

Only now noticing I posted my thread into the wrong forum category

Requesting the option to hide/show certain achievements, in particular those pertaining to Idle

Don't underestimate vanity

These are the worst forums I’ve ever used I my life

I’ve tried typing 3 responses and every time it’s been auto deleted. That’s great.

I guess I’ll have to post by sentence instead so I can get my message across

I don’t think it was the last update. It’s been ruined for at least a couple of weeks now. I’m just playing to get the uncommon artifact and I’ll never touch it again.

If you do it sentence by sentence eventually that could be spamming

how do i get WZIB?

Go to WZI, you'll load into a level if you're in one
Back out to the level select screen
There's a tab labeled 'battle', click/tap it
Click/tap "Join battle" when one is open, they open every hour on the hour
