regarding to this war, i gotta say it's the best event in DF history IMO, but i want to add what i found good, bad and some suggestions for future BIG wars, not to your average unlosable war first of all, i'd like to thank the trust the staff put into us, even after we lost a 1kk war you still put up a 4kk to us because you believed that we could do it, and we almost did the depht and the amount of events, ways to war, spceial war meter,removing our ways of fighting,special challenges among the way, real consequence for losing (instead of simply rebuilding falconreach again) and all were amazing, awesome job but there are some things that were somewhat bad as well to begin, the time just 1 month after a war war horrible, we were all tired, there were other wars happening and lucky day came together, that could not really be helped, it was just the calendar being evil at us, but be careful if it's not a war with a specific date like friday the 13th also, the deadline at 7pm is pretty bad as well, i understand that you needed it at this time so that tomix could actually finish the cutscene, but i believe most of the community would not mind an ending that came 1 or 2 days later, if the war had ended at midnight the time would've been just right for us to win, as many have stated so, i'd like to suggest a few things to make the next wars even better the catapult stealing thing was awesome, however, since it was stolen from us, that means we can also steal it back, specially now that we know that it can be stolen, i sugest a counter based on the number of catapult minigames made after it was stolen, so that we actually get closer and closer to it until we actually get it back, which does not mean it cannot be stolen again of course the bombing run however, i believe could be made a bit better, the only real usefulness from using it is because you don't need any attention and it's the least laggy, however, i believe since it's a dragon lord only feature that needs 35% to unlock it should be a tad bit better, right now the WPM you get from it is probably lower than doing footwaves with doomknight, so it could be better by, perhaps lowering the number of waves to 3, i believe the optimal WPM would be between supply run and footwaves, also bombing skeletons and slimes in a war against those crazy monster does feel a bit wrong also, the thing about different drops is really nice, just like the merge shop, however, some people just had no use for the drops because a)they did not have a DA, 2) already had a fully upgraded doom weapon, c) did not actually use doom weapons, d) already maxed the resource out, because of this, getting a rare drop meant basically losing a defender medal, and some of them were even worth 0gold, so i suggest making a two-way merge shop, with different exchange rates, like 10 DM- 1 UDE or 1 UDE- 1 DM, like this you'd basically be changing your rare drop for a common drop, it should not be a big problem lastly, one more thing that is not important only for the war, but for the game as a whole, would be to make the forums more acessible to everyone, i myself only got to know the existence of the forums because a friend told me, and that does make a big difference on the warring effort, just see the chat of the war thread, there were people with 20 kills in all other wars that got close to 600 in this one, feeling like a part of the community is really important right now, specially since we don't have the same numbers we had before, perhaps making something in the book of lore, or in talking to twilly recommending the forum in case you need help with gear or is lost within a quest or just need someone to talk to please do keep in mind that i know that this is a huge chunk of work and cannot be done easily, the amount of sleep hours you guys must have lost for just this war must've been amazing, however, just like i know we could have done better in this war, i'm sure that the staff can do better as well, i've been playing AE games for 8 years already, i know that you can always improve the game and make it even better that it ever was, just don't faint from overworking, do big events like this once in a while, and when you do, do even better than now, i'm sure everyone here from the forums will be amazed at you guys sorry for the long text, just wanted to show how much i appreciate all the effort that was put into this, and try to help making this game even better battle on! edit: oh i forgot one thing, the challenges are really nice, and boost our morale a lot, perhaps putting it on 90% instead of 75% will increase our chances of winning, everyone saw our WPM skyrocketing when we received word about the doom and destiny weapons
