Estoc Trials - Week #2 Updates

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, Apr 9, 2013.

  1. Cool. Hope new matchup algorithm is improved. :)
     
  2. Looks like the "tweak" is an epic fail.
     
  3. Ummmm.. No. If war starts in 2min, you are banked, ally bought.. You don't have time to scramble an unbank. Doing that will get your gold jacked an your butt KO'd real quick. 
     
  4. Whole point I was trying to make: BFA can be exploited by stacking clan or by jacking other clans BFA right before war starts. *mic turn slowly sideways... drop* I'm out. 
     
  5. Have you given any consideration to letting us choose our own wars? Instead of running kaw like some kind of left-wing, liberal/socialist government, how about maybe we decide some things for ourselves. Rewards for victory can still be given, and yes, there may be some exploitation like with plunder wars. Exploitation is a part of everything in life because humans are capable of thought and will adapt to a variety of different situations. But at least WE (the people actually playing this game) get to make some decisions as to how the game is played, instead of YOU (the ones receiving the monetary compensation).
     
  6. Proposed before but will again. We have bronze bars which lose 25% of gold
    As such from the moment of match up enable us to buy a pure gold bar ( 10 mil units ) that repays 100% of its value from the time of matchup until 10 minutes after the war has ended. It offers a smaller scope for an exploit and provides everyone with a safe way to bank which seems to be a primary concern if an ally is hired during war. Without affecting BFA.
    It would also slightly increase the reward for warring which is added incentive. Also I would support the idea of mith for winners and losers obviously at differing levels as this would encourage many to war. The immense cost of war does not reward the effort many put in if they do not win.
    It would also offset mismatches to an extent allowing slightly more freedom in matchups as many have requested a trial of this.

    With regard to the request for a change in levels for rancour though it may be too late for this season maybe next season you could consider 1 level for participating with a minimum number of actions required.
    And 3 levels for a win. Also to help admins / owners manage wars better on stats after wars could you add extra information to ko's. how many wee enemy ko's and how many were sko's. also how many xtals each player uses. Though that should be obvious. But it would help clans identify those not pulling weight more easily.
    Also would you consider ifs setting the cost of wars slightly by introducing a war only xtal in addition to normal xtals. With each purchase of normal xtal or nobility we receive the same amount of free war xtals that obviously can only be used to war. We then still have to pay but you would at least reduce the costs incurred by these wars which would also encourage more participation.

  7. Kaw_Admin you still call them estoc trials does that mean its a EPIC FAIL as that's where it's going less and less clans signing up, pissed off EU players and congrats to the lucky few clans that are owning it. Shame the majority of KAW can't participate and enjoy the wars, hell i have even been told on several occasions I'm TOO BIG to join a clan as I'm not a guild hansel and would ruin there match up lmao. what a joke do us all a favour ditch the wars and new equipment payouts until you have sorted them out so we all have a shot at it! Either that or bring out some new ebs so that us that are too BIG  to war can get some new equipment as well! You seriously need to sort this out DEVS it's just making you guys look stupid and amateursyou guys must be from another planet to the rest of us
     
  8. Good call devs. Full support
     
  9. You cant have someone not able to hire allies. There is a price and allies are for sale. You take that risk when you own allies. Don't own allies if you do not want the risk.
     
  10. Some interesting comments.

    EASY solution!! After matchups, you can not hire an ally NOR should allies be able to be hired away from you. That way EVERYTHING remains the same as when initially matched.
     
  11. Look at my war now n tell me it fair n they did change bfa?? Thanks n would be nice to see u do something like u say u would.
     
  12. Yes this fair war. We can't even ko then n we r all ko'd., think we managed 1/4 of Thier clan with the bfa they got after match. Lets see something done about this like u claim u going to do. Noway this is what u match with.
     
  13. I'm just going to post some information here, and let it speak for itself:

    Sparta War Division
    Build - 12.7
    Size - 34
    BFA - 4.7

    Regulators
    Build - 17
    Size - 32
    BFA - 2.9 at signup, 3.1 currently
     
  14. Lol what's the info saying? I watched wulf jumped 6 spots from match ups. I know thier bfa changed. And here u say it didnt. That's funny. Oh well. U well have fewer n fewer people wanting to war this way. Have fun I'm ovr it.
     
  15. I agree with joker78 we can't even touch these guys. So how is it fair?
     
  16. Devs: What if you completely locked down on ally buying/selling on ppl that got matched up? This means that a person cant buy an ally (between the start countdown and end of war), neither can their allies be bought off them.
    In other words, make it so that buying allies is like building stuff on land (except allies cant be sold).
    :D :ugeek:
     
  17. We explored this, but it creates a lot of edges cases where a large part of kaw is locked away and untouchable. This could cause large chunks of the ally market to be frozen, creating a difficult experience for players who do not war.
     
  18. For 3 hours at a time?
     
  19. Why not try a pop-up when trying to hire an ally off somebody who is currently in war?
     
  20. Cabt u just lock the stats??? So they don't change for the war no matter if they hire of fire an ally. It's not to hard. U lock clans so pick the stats themselves not the markets. Then wars ovr n stats get fixed to what whatever. No way we have lord bfa then them.
