GoH Needs To Go Live with Multiplayer!

This would be the best move the developers could possibly make right now. There is enough of a player base amassed by now and enough people invested into the brand. Add this element EA. You will see this flip it's lid and start becoming a much bigger deal in the gaming scene... Just saying.

Totally agree

Won't happen and it doesn't make sense to. Essentially you would need to re-write the game. Isn't 250 million in revenue so far good enough?

Vinniarth

No, it does not.
First, there is difference in fighting against AI or Player here. Just difficulty may be...
Second, one player is attacking, another is on defense. From defense perspective, you cannot choose the time you are to be attacked. I do not want to deal with it when I am with my family, at work or driving...

It would be fun as some additional activity. Probably with small to no rewards at the beginning, just to see how it goes. Definitely not instead or arena

This would make the game even more time consuming. There's also the fact that players with weaker connections or older devices would be at a disadvantage in situations like this.

this game isn't suited for PvP.

Not pvp with rewards or rank like arena, but definitely challenge a friend or guildmember who is online type of pvp.

Rework the game? How about a new game mode? The ... PvP arena.
Then it works like any other game with matchmaking. It can't be structured like the current arena, but there are tons of models that could work great
There's no reason real time PvP should be prevented.

My last game had this. It was tournament style where you fought when you had the time over a week long period. Each win or tie gave you points, the amount of points decided your opponent and payout tier. Each player had a time limit to make a decision

Just need matchmaking, an individual timer and a tier/reward system which they could take some foundation from tournaments.

No you wouldn't. Just one new mode. Live pvp mode. Keep everything else the same. Talked to my programmer friends..... Would be relatively simple to create a framework for the new mode. No need to mess with what's already here.

Yeah and next we want a bubble shooter mode, build our city and defend that and evolving into big dragons... You know, playstore is full of pvp games. Dowload this games if you wanna play pvp.

No we don't. There's another star wars shooter game coming that's already been launched in Australia.

Being a turn based game. Multiplayer (like a first person shooter or something) makes zero sense.

I think a couple of people commenting are underestimating how bad the AI really is in this game.

Nack_Alfaghn

As this game is turn based it shouldn't be to hard to introduce PvP.

It would be nice to battle friends and guild mates live without any AI. I have played a lot of turn based games where you can play live vs friends and found it a lot of fun.

The way fleet battles lag or crash all the time now since this last update for me no thx.
Couldn't play and trust this game to work properly.

Exactly. I came to this game because it was turn based and not live pvp. I have zero interest in that.

Live PvP would be exact thing now but difference is you'll be playing a human being

Thanks everyone for the conversation! Just to reiterate... my point is to keep the game exactly how it is, but just ADD a live PvP arena that does not replace any other current game mode. I just want an intelligent oppponent that isn't prodictable or lack luster in strategy. It would also be nice to have something to do while all my
resources reset.

Exactly.
It's really the only logical next step.
