Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! The devs have made a much earlier announcement for S5 than ever before. That in itself is helpful fir all to prep n get thinkin on whatever we wanna do eg UG etc. War clans have up to 30 ppl opted in n loyal. No clan hopping in a war tourney. Similar to ASW u play til u lose n clan makes the playoffs or not i believe.
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! How many months did we campaign for short wars? I am so glad I don't war now. 2 hours at 2 am doesn't sound like fun to me.
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! Thanks for a smart reply, Puppet. That gives me a new view point to look at
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! War clans vary in how they operate. Many ways to skin a cat. The leaders will be doin all the hvy lifting.
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! I ask because I'm in OSW. (Pretty sure we'll form some kinda war company or something) but, if I wanted to war at DOTB, could I return home with out penalty and return.
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! Seems cool Few points/questions : max roster size scares me , unless I misunderstood something, technically we could get a bunch of huge accounts with a bunch is statless alts. Idk if 30 people on one roster will be enough to fill both euro/Asian and USA time slots Can people be signed or aligned with more than one roster ?
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! I think it's great idea So now we can call the game : Kingdoms At War Sucks if you have a full real life but it's the same thing for everyone 30 for a squad and 20 min to war is a tight squeeze 40max. 20-25 warriors seems fair for random time zone Tanks are gonna tank. Whether your there or not At least there's an attempt at a SEASON. Not a bunch of random wars that mathletes find loopholes Your gonna have to find the hole as early as you can. And by the looks of most KAW players, finding a hole isn't the problem, it's finding the right hole.
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! I agree it's up to individual war clans but if war times random that puts a lot of pressure on wc getting there roster back in clan it will depend on how long war times are announced if it's hrs clans will be locked but if there plenty of time in sure some clans will be flexible but the way kaw said "deal with it " I'm thinking it will be the former
Gone through your feedback so far. Let's cover a few common bits of feedback. The reason for this system is to have wars be truly compentitive. Everyone will face everyone and the best of the best will come out. They'll be many wars along the way for everyone to take part in. Individual Wars will not be a part of Season 5. They were implemented to make wars more accessible to all and they work quite well for that. However they don't make sense in a Season where it's all about warring with a specific group over the entire season. We're going back to Round Wars for this because we see a season as a time to break out the big guns. Bring those awesome pieces of equipment you've earned and help your war company win! Remember, there's no matchup system, and everyone faces everyone. We've also got a Max CS cap for the entire War Roster, and we can look into the possibility of having a Min CS cap as well. War Company size seems to be of some concern and there's a general concensus that it should be larger. We'll look into making that happen. With beta testing we may make further refinements as well to things such as war duration. We will look into the possibility of having existing (off-season) wars scheduled in between these Season Wars for those who may want them, but no promises just yet. Keep in mind this is just a proposal at this time. Things may change but we wanted to open a dialogue here. We understand there are many of you who love being competitive and so we've designed this system with that in mind.
How about a tool which can help roster makers? Perhaps a calculator which totals shows them the CS/BFE/BFA of a group they are building using the values the system will use when looking to see whether the clan falls within the specified criteria. Given that the system can see these values, can you make it available to the war leaders?
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! What about the random times I see that as the biggest flaw as pointed out before ppl that war also have real life's and your idea that if clans fail to make war twice will be disqualified means responsible ppl like me will not commit to war clans that I might let down due to war times
So you're saying you expect roughly 80% of a war clan to wake up in the middle of the night for 3+ hours and "deal with it" and if more than one war is missed its over? Guess I won't be participating in S5 my sleep and job not to mention real life plans are more important. I'll "deal with it" though. Thank you devs for the icing on the cake
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! Some predictions - the death of indi wars will lead to all time low in war participation - I'm also gonna predict that there will b a large number of noob wars clans tryin to do s5 who will get their butts kicked and they will ff and bow out of s5 tournament then continue to destroyed
My prediction is there won't be close to 16 top clans for the playoffs. It's gonna be basically 4-6 clans warring each other over and over.
Re: An Update on Season 5 Wars! 1st point..i saw nowhere IWar cannot still be played. 2nd point noob clans in war always try n what happens will happen.
