I do not war very often but sometimes ideas just come to me. This may be an extremely dumb idea. It may be an idea that has already been brought up. I don't think it is but let's see. Feel free to toss in good and bad thoughts on this. WC/Tracker - we all know there certain ones who are great at what they do. So anyone wanting to WC/Track put their name in a sign up box. These will essentially be the captains of the team. Everyone else signs up for these wars and from this list the Captains pick the teams. I suppose you could break down the categories a bit. Tanks, Hansel, Attack, SH Thing is you can only pick from one of the builds the first round and have to pick a different build the next round. So one captain picks a tank then the next Captain picks a tank. So forth and so on. Then move on to another build type. This way no one particular build is left out. Once players are picked. You'll be put in a clan with all EBs unlocked so everyone has same clan bonus. No one can be kicked. The teams stay the same for one week. Rotating between advantage, primal
I like this idea. It is very similar to clan wars (on how some clans go about getting players to war(ish)but if the draft happens in rounds it can help limit stacking. Just the EB's don't need to be unlocked. They can stay the same as the already set up Indi-war clans. In other words, they can use the same clans.
I would also suggest that the ones who sign up as WC's get to be the only one who picks players. Those who sign up as trackers will in the first round of the draft. It may also be good to keep the brackets the same as Indi. So a WC like me can't go picking all leaderboard players and SSH's.
Yes I agree definitely have to keep the brackets split up by size like indies. Thanks for the helpful input Filthy️
I think it only fair that anyone be allowed to put their name in as a WC or Tracker. I do see how someone could do this just to troll. So maybe implement that if they don't WC or track then they get a shattered sword? Of course you'd have to send proof to devs and they make final decision?
As I said at the beginning I don't war a lot or hardly but the idea sounded good. I am hoping some seasoned war vets will have good ideas to add to this.
I was thinking about an idea similar to this but added the idea of a "salary cap." The salary cap could be based on cs, bfa, eq, etc. and a WC that signs up as a WC can choose players from a pool of ppl who sign up as participants. Most WC already know who good trackers are so there is no need to note them separately as part of a WC's strategy could be to have or not have a tracker and select the appropriate one to fit in under the cap. An added mod to this idea is to make players salaries dynamic. So on one hand a salary cost could go up each time a player is recruited or perhaps the rank in which they are picked (i.e. If you are always picked first you begin to cost exponentially more until the system balances as you contribution no longer outweighs your cost). A premium would would be added naturally or could be added by the devs as certain build strategies gain popularity (e.g. SH, sh lb, ps, ps1, etc.). And yes I call these strategies and not exploits because it takes a clever person or people to devise these strategies in the first place. It also takes work to refine fine details on how it works. However as they gain popularity the variety of rosters are lost and wars become mundane and repetitive. So as the builds are purchased more and more, they become more and more expensive so that these rosters become no longer viable to put in place while remaining under the cap. Further salaries could increase or decrease with each war. Maybe those three extra medals for which we track can be added to the dynamic salary increase. However it would also be interesting to have salaries decrease based on inability to be sko, inactivity, or not using xstalls. This could also be a system which is eventually tiered. Gold league has a larger salary cap then silver or bronze and a WC/participants are only eligible for one league based on their cs, bfa, eq, etc. Lastly this could lead into a season. So during preseasons. WCs can try different rosters to eventually choose one during a draft day after which there team is the same for the season. Even WC can be ranked during this preseason and have their position assigned accordingly. The major con of this system is that it puts an even larger burden on a WC who already give a ton to make all of our experiences a good one. Anyways this is just something I have been thinking about and fits well with you original post. At the end of the day my guy tells me the devs need to think of a radical change like this. There have been several radical changes to wars and each one I believe has served to better the game.
As a general idea I think this is actually pretty sweet! And with some of previous comments added in, support!
I've suggested a draft format in my previous war thread n it went nowhere. Ppl too consumed with other war formats n spun their wheels on the famous word FAIR. After many months of ppl pointing out the problems n potential fixes ppl always harped on the negatives n it resulted in IWar only S5. The majority rarely have the best solution. Sad the minority of War vets get ignored. I hope their voices r heard soon.
Everyone who signed up would get pick though, right? No leaving people out that signed up? The draft idea would work well with the detailed stats idea too.
I suggested a system war type that im going to drop here. Its short, hope you dont mind op. Two opposing clans. -Both have a defense bar (a wall). -Atk/spy actions automatically hit. the Wall until it is depleted. -when opponents Wall is depleted, atks/spy actions can be directed at opponents roster and plunder will be earned. -defense walls regen. In a nut shell.
Not a bad idea Ops but no interest in forcing SH on a roster. Devise a draft more suitable for them would be better. GL
I don't mind at all twinky. I welcome any suggestions or added war styles. Just trying to give the people of KaW something different. I can't promise that people wouldn't get left out of being picked. But maybe if you didn't get picked. You had to be picked before someone else in the next draft?
I didn't really mean they'd be forced on your roster. Would be similar to indi wars by that I mean. You have to stay in your bracket size. Can't have a SH picked for an LB bracket I mean. I hope that clarified what you was talking about by forcing a SH into a roster.
Stop going through forums and spamming with useless comments. Unless you are a troll, this is improper behavior.
