Kingdoms at War - 03/11/13 Update

Discussion in 'Past Announcements' started by admin, Mar 11, 2013.

  1. This Week's Updates
    --------------------------
    NEW WAR TIMES and SIZE RESTRICTIONS!
    Please note that we have adjusted most of the war times, and restrictions for the upcoming week.

    * New 2 hour wars on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday
    * Tighter clan size bounds
    * New War times

    Opt-In System & No Match
    A reminder that both the Opt-In system and No Match system are in place. To address the concerns of having no matches, we are doing 2 things to encourage participation:

    * Increased Mithril payout for wars
    * Introduction of 2 hour wars
    * Tighter clan size bounds to ensure less no match scenarios

    Estoc Trials - Season 1
    Our apologies for continuously pushing this back. However, to ensure the smoothest Season 1 experience, we want to nail down the schedules and any issues that are coming up with No Match and Opt-In. If everything moves smoothly this week, we will start next week. Once again, Sorry! :(

    Epic Battles
    We haven't forgotten about our players that prefer to participate in Epic Battles instead of Wars. We have some exciting announcements for you later this week. Something to do with scorpions….

    Red Paladin Equipment
    The entire Red Paladin set has been released!

    Estoc Trials FAQ
    --------------------------
    Q: How does the Wave of Conflict (Opt-IN) spell work?
    * Players will have to cast the Opt-In (Wave of Conflict) BEFORE matchups, casting it after matchups does not work
    * FOR ADMINS, When you sign up for an Estoc Trial, we will inform you on the # of players who have opted in for that war
    * FOR ADMINS, If your clan members affect the qualified number of participants in any way (leaving the clan, casting Wave of Conflict etc), and that number exceeds or falls below the requirements for the event, the clan will be disqualified. It will be up to you to manage your members and ensure that your clan meets the size requirements at all times.

  2. Noo. Not scorpions. ;( anything but those.
     
  3. Reserved
     
  4. Good, skorpions are cute. War is ugly.
     
  5. Way to go and kill smaller clans war on 3-6 no support
     
  6. Awesome job!!! Definitely warring more now.
     
  7. Oh great.. a new eb series, and the being able to build t5 in LL. (next major update)
     
  8. Gamerzone, most likely a new series or some new equipment. Maybe both :eek:
     
  9. If they mean u can warn mith in Eb I'm guna be MAD! Does EDT=EST?
     
  10. Devs cut the EB  and fine-tune the war sustem first. The EB updates can wait for another year.
     
  11. Yay a new EB series,fun!
     
  12. Will this equipment from "scorpion" eb be better than paladin equipment?
     
  13. "Opt out" spell or the ability to revoke Wave of Conflict would be great, it would allow people in "No match" situations to adjust their roster to a size where they are less at risk of a "No Match". And overall more clans could war each week instead of not warring due to having too many members warring. Yes, I understand that the alternative is kicking/leaving the clan... But they would probably rejoin the clan straight after war any way, just with 1 level of EE less, assuming they are a successful Estoc War clan.
     
  14. These war times suck balls for uk peeps
     
  15. Val, I HIGHLY doubt they would be. And boy if they are,  I don't even know what that means. But that just goes to show how upset I'd be. :lol:

    That would completely destroy the want to do estoc trials.
     
  16. Est is eastern standard time. It changes to edt during daylight savings time. Eastern daylight time. Edt is 4:46pm right now. For those that don't know.
     
  17. New war timings aren't perfect for me but that's my fault. Thank you for preparing new ebs and 2 hours war! Good job
