GvG has needed a whole overhaul for awhile. Wasn't it a to-do on the old roadmap they never did?
Yes, it has, and I believe that GvG "improvements" were on the now abandoned roadmap. There was even a great plan thought out by Ryebred to give both GvG and PvP a shot in the arm, which BG said that was a great idea. All these things were apparently preempted by the app, unfortunately, so no idea if anything was ever planned or not.
Now that the app is close to completion, hopefully this and many other ideas, suggestions and previously promised updates will be moved back to the front burner. I just hope that Hoof and the team(s) are listening to our pleas to make FS exciting and challenging again, rather than the current grind of 12345678-0 rinse and repeat.
IMHO, all this work to make the app will have been in vain if things don't change, because as a avid mobile player, I know that FS won't be able to compete with flashy MMO's like the ones I play regularly, and whatever new players are drawn in via the app store and play store will quickly lose interest, leaving a horrid review before deleting it and moving on to greener pastures. GvG and PvP are just the tip of the iceberg, tbh, just as are the economy and the shrinking player base.
Many of my long time friends have left in just the last year,and many more in recent years as well, granted for various reasons including lack of new content besides just new levels. Almost all could be contributed to boredom and a feeling that they just aren't being heard. Isn't this a good indicator that this and many other needs expressed in this forum need to be addressed sooner rather than later?
