You are a funny guy, scaling towers indeed. :lol: Towers already have drawbacks, it is call loss of plunder.
These are the changes the developers are working on right now. We're going to be continuing to move forward with them and hammer out more details. Things can change and nothing here is final just yet. This thread was made to update people at our current stage in this, and some of our proposed changes.
What he meant to say was... "We decided to make this thread about wars to get you guys off our ass about the T5 price cut"
Love that youre making efforts Com but i dont think scaling bfe will be the right way to go. It definetly messes up the fighting from pin part of kaw. Even if you do implement this will it just be for EE?
That's still something we're considering right now, though it sounds like most people would prefer it just to affect EE, so I'll relay that to the developers.
Thank Spragga :lol: i was finally gonna grow this accnt but it wouldve been useless if the bfe i worked hard for became almost useless. Oh and yay! :lol: never been answered before
Agreed with Bishop. I agree with you devs by pretty much all of your changes. Scaling BFE though? No way.
I'm just curious how these proposed changes are going to effect matchups. The problem with war isn't sh making money off of me , it's the fact that I match 4 impenetrable builds on top of them . Im just not sure how this deals with stacking.
KaWComm - Most would not have BFE touched at all, in any circumstance.... BFA changes could be fleshed out a bit (see several good questions and potential abuses listed in this thread....) before going live.
spilatch,, It only solves something that was an issue in season 1 that noobs keep crying about. These updates help the sh. It does put the last nail in the coffin for mids,. They shall never war again.
I suppose anything worth saying is worth saying twice @_@ But seriously folks scaling Bfe will only help to further the SH exploit. They will continue to grow their allies & simply unequip their items. 1+1=2 Devs this is simple math here. While all other builds become easier targets as we are worked down. 1-1=0 There you have it plain simple and easy to understand.
So since the end of season 2 I have pretty much only warred with a shadow hansel because this account has become useless due to always facing larger attack builds I can't hit with sh on the bottom not giving any plunder. Last season we started warring here with little to no equipment before anyone else. This decreased our static def and attack greatly but also showed us that CS and BFA could trump high bfe with not as good war builds. This is almost as good as testing scaling bfe. And bfe does make a difference ESPECIALLY from pin AND ADDED WITH TOWERS. Proper war builds with bfe were always harder to hit from pin, always. So to Cloud, it's been tested pretty much. And it isn't as easy as it seems to war with hardly any bfe as many clans that first tried it didn't do so well. Now to my sh which had much success warring almost naked especially since I have high bfa on it. I was able to hit through towers and bfe with only one piece of equipment on, first reason why scaling bfe will hurt bigger builds. So Station you are wrong on thinking scaling will help. Next, according to what they want to change with equipment being factored in to plunder, I thought this would help right before the beginning of last season right before we started naked wars. Now I totally disagree with this, and it's because if I war almost naked on my sh(which can already hit through towered attack builds with bfe from pin) then that means I will still pay bad to them making it useless. The biggest issue is still the hit gap between builds. Base it all off of build strength and not include bfa into it. Also lower the hit range to within 2mil CS above or below. This is the only thing that will fix EE wars and give everyone a fair chance to war.
I feel that a hit ratio that small could seriously hurt some players. I would prefer a hit ratio that starts out small and gradually gets bigger. Like a sh can only attack say 3 mill higher, and by the time you hit a 15mill cs account it raises to like 10 mill
And just rereading first post in regards to bfe, kaw says unloading your spies still allows soldier defense to stay high.... What does that mean exactly ? Spy defense and troop/soldier defense are independent of one another ..... Will unloading my spies now effect my attack/defense side of equip ? The only way the bfe thing will work imo is if kaw forces players to equip one equipment per slot that they own equip in . But how does increasing bfe payout help if sh just drop equip? And while our motto has always been " if we are going to lose, might as well lose with our best equip on " (lol) What this would do is essentially FORCE our smalls to war without equip so they don't leak all over the place. I just feel like, as has been the case for going on four seasons, there always seems like a direct route to fixing things, yet devs insist on making four rights to go straight . I truly hope I'm wrong. I just have no faith.
