Production MX Badge cap, WZ tiers, Profiles Updated,…

March 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Hey all!

We hope you are all safe during this CoVid-19 outbreak – luckily for us, we can continue working from home, so we will continue delivering updates in these times – we hope War Clicks can help you keep your mind off the tough situation a bit :)

Based on our recent survey, we were thrilled to see close to 90% support from you all of our proposed updates, and today, we just released the first of them – you can find a quick recap below.

Production MX for Boot Camp from badges is now capped at 20k X, WarZone DPC mx has no cap. Once a player reaches it, they will no longer receive badges for Score or Levels gained competition, but instead 1000 gold for every of these. They will also be featured in a special “Veterans” tab in the weekly competitions! This will allow others to get the top badges/boosts, and balance out competitions better.

You can now see your multipliers from badges in your profile easily! Make sure to check it out, as display of badges is a LOT clearer now as well :)

New! Player Badges popup

War Zone HQ upgrade tiers have been HEAVILY improved – up to the e50 cost, with an up to 1e7x DPC increase for HQ upgrades. This will help them scale better with current over-reliance on support units.

 

Many more updates are coming in April/ upcoming updates:

– we are still monitoring activity of some potential over-script abusers in Boot Camp, and considering solutions to improve/limit that.

– While WZ tiers have been rebalanced, at the very late stages even this ~xe7 increased in their DPC is outdwarfed by support units DPC. The tiers will further be rebalanced up to the e100 costs, as well in April we intend to release an update that will further reduce the over-reliance on support units. This will likely be in the form of research upgrades, which will give big multipliers to base DPC from Ranks, Levels and HQ upgrades!

– For the time being we are not yet increasing new competition badge rewards, but will consider doing that in the coming weeks, as proposed in our previous update.

By the end of March we will present you with a more comprehensive plan for updates in April, the above ones are just some of those we will be doing :)

– Any TC unlocks on various starting kits, have been replaced as well. We’ve also re-ordered some of the display in gold shop to make any special offers more clear. If you haven’t taken advantage of any starting kits, make sure to have a look, as they’re typically the very best deals :)
– We’ve added some info about our other games in Menu -> our other games, if you’d like to give them a try. It helps support our team – thanks :)
– text in chat is now highlightable/selectable
– Enable/disable farm mode hotkey has been added to settings (F)

Short-sum up on the upcoming updates

February 26, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Hey all!

Just a short-sum on what is coming to War Clicks with the next update:
– Finally removing wait Timers on Time Challenges and Invasion chances
– Adding a full list of interesting stats for a player to check in their profile
– Changing a few positions within the Shop, getting rid of the Unlock TC’s pack on all spots where showing currently
– Highlighting some texts in chats
– Replacing the checkboxes on alliance fights with something not as confusing
– Adding a Hotkey to enable/disable Farm mode in the War Zone
– Improving announcements/changelogs so, that they always appear in the latest-news popup (if the user hasn’t seen them)
– Additional tests on how the game is working in different browsers – showing suggested browser notes at the start?

That’ll be the update we plan to release as soon as it is properly completed and tested. Other game improvements will follow on our next update packs.

Boot Camp progression update, e308 cap smoothing, New Boot Camp re-balancing

February 21, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Hey everyone,

Today we released an update, that speeds up late game Boot Camp (BC) progression, resolves some bugs/transitions with reaching the e308 cap in Boot Camp, and lastly, re-balances some “New Boot Camp” requirements and rewards.
* If seeing this update while in/game, please refresh to ensure you see all updates properly.

Here are the changes made:
– BC upgrades increased/added starting at around e115, e179, e206, e242-e244, e255, e270, e284, e290-e295, e303. These will help make for much further runs, and speed up post e115, and especially post e240 progression significantly.
* for users above e115, please note that your production of BC units will change in this update, and as new upgrades were inserted, a few of your old upgrades might be “gone”, but replaced with upgrades before them. So overall your production should be higher now, and you’ll be able to recoup any upgrades that new ones replaced pretty much instantly anyway.
– New Boot Camp requirements changed to start at e200, and be increased by e5, up to the cap of e300 at 23rd Boot Camp. This will help speed up the first 10 new BCs, but also ensure requirements are scaled up, to prevent “new BC spamming”, which was becoming a long-term balance issue, and this update was urgently needed.
– Due to tons of badge boosts from competitions and events piling up, “new BC spamming” was starting to become an issue of where users would be able to soon start farming “infinite gold” from renown rewards. This would ruin game economy and inflate it if left untouched, so we’ve also now limited Gold rewards from renown to the first 22 new Boot Camps started. Additionally, upon passing that, Research Point rewards from renown rewards will be doubled!
– “e308” smoothing has been done, which will now make it clear to users that once you reach e308 Power Points, there is nothing to do in the current Boot Camp anymore, and it will now be clear you have to start a new BC at that point. We’ve also added a “Completionist” renown level at 1.79e308, which will reward you with an extra 50 Research Points when reached – if anyone is willing to grind for it a bit more!

Many of these changes were long overdue after we initially released the Tactical Map with New Boot Camps feature, so we’re happy to finally be able to catch up! It will help provide a much better progression curve for all users, and allow you to reach further than ever before!

Have fun!

Only 1player can become a ”Casanova”!

February 12, 2020 / / 0 Comments

We just started with the Cupid’s mission Event, which will last until the Feb 16th, 14:00 GMT, so jump in to get extra rewards and possibly reach a forever-lasting Title of a ”Casanova”, which will be delivered to the Winner of this Event.

It’s now a perfect time to share the love around but act fast as there is limited time available to complete the goal (spread the message of love to all 195 countries!)..

We’ve switched up a few things for this event:
There is no training feature and the badge rewards this time are for DPC not Production boost.Make love, not war

Make love, not war

War Clicks dev team wishes you all the best, so good luck and have fun! 😊

Reducing progress saving/revert issues in Boot Camp

January 23, 2020 / / 0 Comments

We just pushed an update that should greatly reduce progress saving/revert issues in Boot Camp. If you’re seeing this message while playing, please refresh the game for the changes to take effect.

We think we managed to resolve the main cause of these issues in Boot Camp, but please note that there may still be other causes of it. Still, hopefully should be much better with this update already :)

We will continue looking into them and check WZ issues as well. The issue was mainly related to deploying, privatizing and starting a new BC, where we adjusted some code handling. An additional cause was a discrepancy of how BC renown rewards were claimed – manually in frontend, while automatically in backend.

So we have also adjusted claiming of those in frontend, which will now be added automatically when reached. The reward popup is mere informational from now on.
