Blinding Smoke
Ladies and Gentlemen this game is getting more insane each month. The new features that are being introduced are requiring players to be even more vigilant than ever before. This new feature that got released in BETA won’t allow your team to take their eyes of the game.
Blinding Smoke: Conceals enemy rallies in various ways that will make you want to drink 5 hour energy drinks for entire kvk kes.

Everything Blinding Smoke Will Do
- You will not be able to see any in game notifications from your watchtower, nor see what is in an enemy rally
- You will not be able to see the footprints of an enemy’s rally march.
- You will not get phone notifications of a rally taking place
Other Things You Should Know About Blinding Smoke
- It is a war boost so you cannot use it at the same time as anti-scout, attack boost, defense boost etc.
- The boost will not take effect right away, it will “take place when your next rally march begins.”
Blinding Smoke Game Play Strategy
The most effective place for this boost will probably be for wonder rallies. In other words, hiding your rally march from the enemy so they do not know which troops to switch out. Although, using “blind watchtower” will not allow you to use anti-scout which means an enemy player will still be able to see your hero gear (unless you are using hades gems) and tell which troops you are sending. If this feature is released and you still can’t use anti-scout at the same time then it wouldn’t be very useful because the enemy could just scout you before your rally marches.
You should make sure you leave your Line notifications on so that you can see warnings from your alliance about an rallies coming your way.
Although it’s more difficult to see where a march is going because the footsteps are gone, if you click on the march you will be able to see where it is headed from the dialogue box that pops up above the march.
Blinding smoke will also big a decent deterrent for rally traps, whose screens won’t light up red when the rally march starts. You’ll need teammates to watch for cores, someone to announce it is marching, others to scout bomb.
Be sure to warn your teammates and keep an eye out! This new item will definitely require a good amount of teamwork to combat.

So it seems like the final word is you will still get a notification, but even if this feature disables notifications I can’t for the life of me understand where all the bellyaching is coming from. If you are unshielded and not watching your surroundings like a hawk then you deserve to get stomped. No exceptions. It seems like a lot of people have a knee jerk reaction to every change in the game. Try thinking things through first. Everyone is just going to have to be more vigilant and develop new strategies to counter this, but guess what? That’s part of the fun of playing a war game! Only careless players have anything to fear from this. And besides, I have a feeling it will mostly be used in wonder battles anyway. There are plenty of legitimate problems in this game worth criticizing. This feature isn’t one of them.
Really disappointed with MZ here. I like the potential hidden feature of not knowing exactly when the march will hit, but what’s with not knowing there is a rally starting. Gonna have smaller players zeroed quicker and quitting more frequently.
Mz should stop concentrating on how to increase player spending and get their jnterndt presence fixed. More or fster sefvers and jncreased QOS ( quality of service).
I wish MZ would focus on the existing game play and server response, instead to introducing new unnecessary features that do nothing to enhance game play and further the server lag that everyone experiences.
Most Disappointing
What a shame, I’m not rich n I’m spending a fortune because I love the game. But that’s one best way to totally separate the low income between the high income spenders. And one excellent reason for me to walk away from the game FOR GOOD
They updated the blog post in Beta. It now says “Please note: you’ll still see an incoming attack and get a notification.”
Also they just announced hero level 60 is coming soon.
EYO! They did! New post on hero lvl 60 coming soon!
Im glad yojoe said what he said. Its getting next to impossible for smaller players to compete. Now higher level VIP and hero levels. Next im sure will be SH level. Seems mz is trying to milk itfor as much as they can. I dont see this game lasting in this market. If all the major players put their heads and wallets together they could develop a much better game with their experience. Mz cannot possibly play their own product. Its starting to not even make sense. What next alien cores?
Actually, alien cores probably are next. There will be a phase of the game where transition from monster names to alien names. The “ET” set..
U are always whitty Chad. Thanks for thr platform to discuss this stuff.
Haha I wish all my Line groups thought the same as you.
I am not a fan of this new feature even as a 5 Billion + Player. Takes the skill out of the game in countering troops. Even with that said, worst part about it is the lack of notifications. It should work like anti-scout. You still get a notification on your phone that a scout was attempted. Why not the same for this new feature? I understand the cloaking of what is within the rally, but no notifications? Cmon.
I think your notification suggestion would defeat a pretty big value proposition for this new though.
I take back all what I said…with these new sets and guys rocking 1500 health debuff, 1100 Atk debuff etc (that’s just the extra..not figuring regular stats on top)…no one will be safe. The monster accounts can now zero everyone including each other. I hope someone really puts a protest together, those stats will ruin the game. Even the bigger accounts will be quiting after they done solo zeroing all the tiny 1+b players (who will quit…I know I will, I won’t even attempt to rebuild). Something has to give and fast, whether that’s breaking up kingdoms by spending lvl, power lvl whatever…something has to change or the game a lot have been enjoying for a long time will die
So no notification you are even the target of a rally? This reeks of the hugest spenders bitching about not being powerful enough. They want to be able to hit everyone, all the time AND they want others not even be able to protect themselves. You got your 1min rally times already. As it is you can’t even get online fast enough to reinforce your teammates. This is a terrible idea. Big spenders make GoW go round? Ok sure. But being essentially invinceable isn’t enough, guess what…feature like this goes live, there going to be nothing left but the biggest spenders. Have fun staring at each other’s worthless invincible trophy accounts, cause there’s not gonna be enough players left to fill a rally even if you wanted to try.
This deserves a STANDING O! I couldn’t agree more!
