Well blaze. Back in the day an apology on your wall would be sufficient. Everyone wants to see their name in a thread though lol. No apology necessary. Just random hits. If the "victim" decides to escalate the fight into a 1v1 OSW than the consequences are to be determined between the two. No need for forum threads. Although it probably will still lead to a thread. That's a small downside to having kaw back IMO
Simple way to improve the BL... If you hit someone, and lose, THEY get some money from you!! You wana hit, you take yer chances
Don't they already provide an incentive in the form of the "low reward", "good reward", and "large reward" info on the BL? Seems like the devs thought of this early on to foster 1v1. Perhaps instead of increasing pay from hitting players, they should reduce pay from hitting EBs and find that happy medium where BL actions are on par with EB actions.
PvP pays almost as much as the top paying ebs, if you go around farming hansels ypur size or bigger at my size you get 52-59m per hit even from potless farms, thats roughly 1.4b per unload 200-600m per steal bar. That is abt same as i get hitting haunts. 2b per unload, no skimming. If atkbuild you obviously also lose a greater percentage of your troops per hit often and so may not get the full bar with minimum troop loss as a hansel might if he/she finds a good target. The reason people dont earn gold in osw/pvp is that everyone, and i do mean everyone is lazy in osw and pretends activity. I'll go pre-emptive and say that those who might protest this claim of mine are the kind that do this more then others. (PS. Those that say "waaah noob!! osw is not about the gold bla bla" they are also typically the same people that post cc "i am hitting just not reporting" that is code for "i log in 1-2 times a day and hope this damn war is over". The reason PvP is less profitable then ebs is because you run the risk of strips, need often to bank hourly earnings in pots/bars and lose some of that profit etc. And ofc in PvP you may experience long periods of play from pin. All these are valid reasons to say PvP pays worse. That the actual actions pay worse then ebs is not true. Unless you are farming people half your size. In thhat case you deserve crappy pay. But PvP pays more then enough as it is. Anything over current PvP pay runs the risk of turning into a exploitable off system pw war situation. Oh yeah also PvP does not offer repeat button, i'm sure that what op really is asking for. Cows have pussies. Kiss the ring! Wisdom
Are you taking into account the bonus, Wisdom? When most people adjust their hit return with the bonus, ppl less than 80% of the way to HLBC will make more on Haunt, unless they can hit a fully potted HLBC OSF. And there aren't many of those that open to the general public.
ofc i'm taking into avcount the bonus. an hlbc hansel like myself gets a bit less then 2b total from a haunt with no skimming and no estocs edge. most other ebs pay worse then farming per hour ofc as said, pvp opponents will not let you stay full regen so that will be rare unless xtaling but still the complaint is not at all valid.
You can still farm osf alts. Having a similar stat total, and logging your alt in just before going to the BL will place your osf somewhere near the top. x2 is also quite a lot of bonus. Maybe x1.6
@machine on the third page Trust me. If there is an attack build in my range on the BL and there is a GH too, the attack build gets hit every time. I know Ghs are more war oriented, or are at least a bit smarter kaw wise that attack builds. I would hit the attack build for better plunder and the probability of him having pots is less, allowing me to go in unpotted because of my equip. Also, you just search for an alt on the BL. If its my way, the chances of getting your alt are slimmer
People are always going to find a way to exploit the system. No matter what. If you search for your alt on BL to hit. Then maybe you should just hit the damn eb. This is for people that enjoy the challenge and the back and forth of a battle. Others will find a hansel and hit them, of course. Maybe it will discourage all the spy builds and GH if they get their asses farmed all day because they are easy targets. But again if all you do is search for a hansel to hit for an easy win, they have eb's for you type of people. A few lazy, and gutless people can ruin the system for everyone. If that's what you like to do just hit your alts or eb's outside the BL.
I'm also sick of the 5 hit rule. There is no such thing and shouldn't be an issue. That was for he early osfs so they could offer everyone a fair chance at getting hits in. People need to put their big boy pants on. This is a war game. Hit and be hit. If you pay well I might hit you more than 5x and noob tears will only make me hit more
Support but make it like the estoc edge where every time you win a BL attack your plunder increases and decreases as you fail. Idk just a thought
