The magic button...

To be honest, paying money for a feature that saves me the maybe 1 time in 2 or 3 days I would forget to heal after a battle..well let me just say auto collect make much more sense to me but this is not supposed to be a bash on such a feature!

Pretty sure some will love it and then it is "Job well done". For me the only thing that could tempt me (those that dislike premium players will hate this) would be if the auto healing results in a reasonable faster healing time as well. It is money that is invested after all.

VIP= 20% more production and auto collect!

Well, VIP could be 20% more production, auto collect AND auto heal !!

That is still bad. Sometimes I do 5 battles or so in a row (normal difficulty), and going back to the barracks to cancel the healing process of the units after each battle, (probably including losing the healing costs for the damage done) would be a waste of my time and gold. I guess there some people who could find it useful but if you made it optional on a per-battle basis it would be useful to more people, which would therefore get more people to buy it as a premium, and less people to get angry that they bought it. I still don't think it should be premium, but either way it would be best to make it optional per battle by a button. Canceling the healing after every battle is not an acceptable work around for people who like to do several battles in a row with the same army (especially when it's much easier when you wouldn't have the premium), and making people who just payed money on a free game upset about their purchase is always a bad thing, even if it is only a small number of people who are angered by it.

As for all Premiums, some work for some players and some don't. It is not mandatory to buy that Premium if it doesn't suit your playing style.

So far I can't think of any premiums on this game that wouldn't benefit everyone who uses them (who is going to be angry they just got free items or that the game collects their money for them?), but a non-optional heal after battle does not benefit everyone who uses it, as I previously explained. Some people it will waste their time and gold, and this is a very bad thing for a paid feature. Features should be helpful, and not get in the way. The only thing you would have to do is make it so that once you bought the premium, you have the option at the end of every battle to do it or not by clicking one button on the battle screen, that's all. Angry people problem solved.

Hegorn, those are great ideas. And I don't want this game to start looking like it's extorting people either. Just... don't make training take tooo long.

Edit: If you add auto-heal to VIP, you pretty much have to make it optional per battle end. Because then people can't do VIP without having auto-heal on! If you make it optional per-battle as you really should then it sounds okay, though as you know I still prefer it not be a paid feature. (that's what instant heal is for, after all)

But if it is optional, then it loses the "Automatic" meaning...

Bah! Too much ale I guess..

The Auto Heal premium will not heal units instantly, but rather work just like Auto Collect. When a player returns from battle, if the necessary Gold for healing is in the player's Warehouse, then the units will automatically start healing.

improving on a slight design flaw in the game should not cost a premium! Premiums should be bonuses, not... things that just improve the game as a whole.

No flaw there. The Auto Heal/Auto Repair premiums are there to make a user's life simpler and his gameplay experience faster. Consider them as a way to minimize clicks in the game.

I stand by my word. And it sounds like you are planning to make it happen after every battle without user input (which is a terrible idea). Please make it optional with one click, otherwise people will get angry when they can't do another battle with their unhealed units. (seriously, I don't think this should be premium material...or if so... very very cheap...)

I have to say I don't mind it being premium because I have never had a problem with the heal all button. If someone is that lazy to click on barracks and click heal all button then I say let them pay to save on those few seconds.

It's not a case of being lazy (even if i'm terribly lazy), it's a case of forgetting 20 time a day when you do a lot of battles.

I also hate forgetting to heal after a battle but still I think the gems could be spent for something better than auto heal honestly but we will see.
