Change to EE Renewal on No Matches

Discussion in 'Past Announcements' started by [ATA]Grant, Sep 13, 2014.

  1. Effective Monday, September 15th, 2014 we will be implementing a change to the way Estoc's Edge is affected when a clan receives a No Match.

    Once this change is implemented, you will no longer have your Estoc's Edge renewed by 2 weeks upon receiving a no match. This is a change we've been considering for a while now, and we feel it will improve the war experience for our players.

    In the past when No Match rates were higher and there were fewer war opportunities, renewing Estoc's Edge on a No Match made sense. However, with the number of wars we currently have each week, as well as the distribution of various war types players should easily be able to receive a successful match within the two week period they have before their Estoc's Edge expires.

    By making this change, we also encourage players to continue to war on a regular basis and improve their rosters. For those of you who receive no matches during Primal and Round Wars, you are encouraged to evaluate your builds against other clans who are warring and make changes as needed. In most cases this is by either increasing, or decreasing your entire Clan's CS, BFE, or BFE depending on the war type.
     
  2. So ee will not be renewed at all?
     
  3. EE will still be renewed on both a Win and Loss for those matched up.
     
  4. Will not be renewed for a no match

    Ur timer will be reset with only a win or lose on ur new lvl of ee
     
  5. Devs, you are saying. That all of us who warred in Indy and received 1 medallion for each Indy War we won, will receive twice, that amount?
     
  6. Nice change. Thanks dev
     
  7. What about implementing a 24hr extension on no match to provide players time to find another war time/slot within 24hrs.

    For example if your EE was going to expire in 4hrs and you signup for a war at 12pm pdt (EE expires at 4pm pdt) you get a no match you are forced to
    Any of the following
    1) try for the next war if possible (and pray it ends on time to renew the edge)
    2) lose your edge entirely.

    Now the argument could be made that it is the players fault for waiting so long to renew. This is a valid argument. I believe having 0 extension will ultimately punish players who maybe hit a busy patch in life.

    I am 100% in agreement that a no match should not refresh EE for 2 weeks. Developers can monitor the 24hr refresh period and maybe even put in a limiter that it only works 2 times to discourage the abuse that could take place (rather than stacking a no match every two weeks it would have to be daily for those attempting to abuse the system)
     
  8. About time less exploits... Good move devs only who will complain are the ones doing it
     
  9. No support - make 11 rosters or increment the indi rosters and Lets SEE what happens.. 2 Hr Wars
     
  10. I like it, thank you devs
     
  11. Lol .....lb will be raging
     
  12. You said Bfe twice
     
  13. bring back veil of evasion and full clan rosters.

    e-wars have been rubbish since veil removed.

    i know. most you ee noobs have no CLUE what im talking about. to you i say "no cf".
     
  14. Oh and 2 hour wars.

    Thank you and good night.
     
  15. Agreed should get 24 hour minimum renewed on ee left if no match. With primal and round still many no matches do occur and losing all your ee cause of a no match doesnt sound fair, a small renewal of ee in a no match should make it fair to all.
     
  16. THE DEVS ACTUALLY LISTENED OH MY GOD
     
  17. No support totally ridiculous if someone had EE lvl 5 then got a no match because your system was flawed they have to pay the price. At least 24-48 hour grace period is necessary for this idea to be even slightly effective.
     
  18. Lb no likey devs . 
