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!

It will be up to you to manage your members and ensure that your clan meets the size requirements at all times. Next Week? -------------------------- * Have something you want to talk about? Reply to this thread and we may add it to next week's discussions!
"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.
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.
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.
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
