Dr Pinky is a man that knows a thing or two about things. And when I read this thread, I laughed. Made so much sense. But some noobs like Sky were like "ahh man, this is lame, grow your account and whatnot." Sky. You are skurred. Stop being so afraid. It's only fake gold bro. It would be beneficial to allow a noob a chance at the title. Also, pots to allow bigger players to smash little ones works too. That is my retried 2 cents. Buh bye.
They can do it im sure. Will they is another question. Just an idea from an osw loving player. They dont try to appeal to that demo
This needs to be implemented. Pots at their current form are almost useless. I think all of them need to be increased though. Along with balancing to be correct. We actually need these to keep pvp going otherwise it's a battle of bfa, and stripped accounts become worthless in a fight until they've rebuilt enough bfa to fight back. And even then spending on stats is almost more valuable.
Cant really support. I didn't build to be hit by smaller accounts with a sizeable cs difference successfully
If you get giant attack pots you'll get giant def pots. Why would you want the enemy to get giant def pots? Assassinate them with 16 successful hits to bring them to 1/2 attack bar. Then hit them full attack pots. You'll pin them in your last couple hits.
I was thinking more along the lines of 2b for the att., and 1B for the Def., 3B for the spy att., and 1.5B for the spy def.. @ that rate, It would take one troop unload for an account similar to mine to get 1 spy att. pot
I'm surprised you suggested this Vix... I think it would put the nail in the coffin for strips. I can only hit about a third of the strips we do at our current hit ranges, tighten hit ranges anymore and I might as well not even bother looking at CA.
But it is. You're asking for a pot to make up for a 1/3 cs differential. If they have 400M cs (seems to be pretty common) you would have 260M. Real stats, they have 20,000,000,000. You have about 13,000,000,000. A 7 billion difference. The highest attack pot right now is a little over 100M. Combined they only add up to 313 million.
As posts stand they allow you to make up a flat 6M cs difference. And even if you say you want a percentage based pot, it's still going to have to give you a ridiculously high flat amount to overcome the 1/3 140M cs difference you're mentioning.
Just to put that into perspective.... the new pot would cost about 3.5T to give you the stats you're looking for.
I totally get where you're coming from with the % based pots. They help smaller accounts attack bigger accounts far more than they would help bigger accounts attack smaller ones. That makes a ton of sense, but the ranges have grown far too big to fix it like that. I don't know the fix, because we have to consider every account. From the guy with 1 million Cs to the guy with 1 billion cs..... we can't just change hit ranges to a flat 6M cs difference, because that really narrows hit ranges after about 30M cs. And we can't narrow hit ranges to say.. 10% cs difference because that narrows hit ranges for smaller players. I'm just spit balling here, because like I said, I don't know a good fix.
I think this is a well thought out ideal. It clearly makes sense. Though it could be a mith spell instead (so that it'll use up the mith that's not doing anything now a days) I think % things should be more of a thing though. It'll encourage more different type of builds or people to actually grow.
