So I feel like the two new spy def items should be priced at half of what they are listed at due to their def bonus relative to the other items.... Thanks
Good job on successful destroying the war system It took a while, but I think you have managed with the new pots.
I really think this is much ado about nothing. It's not going to kill war any more than the ally drop price chancge, or anything else. In fact, it's actually significantly more difficult to stay fully potted now than it ever has been, which benefits the war clans more than anything imho. Spent over 75 bil on new pots last night and I still am short on new pots (compared to my stockpiles of old pots), and let's be honest here... As many pots as I have, I know, for a fact, that a good war clan can probably have me potless relatively fast if they wanted to. How long does it take, on average, to zero a random (non-war ready) person? Well that time is likely to actually go down. Lot of people don't carry many pots. Say they have 100 bil when the fight breaks out, used to be your could get at least a decent number of pots with 100 bil, no, not enough to last in much more than a skirmish, but it's a start. Now, however, there are 4 additional pots which are quite expensive. This is gonna make it more difficult to stay potted, as you can't buy as many of each with the same amount of gold. Players aren't getting extra gold, they now have to buy extra pots with the same income (re: drastically reduced income due to suddenly being a target). Pot burns are now going to be even more costly, which again, benefits the war clans more than anyone else. The defender will lose an extra 10.7 mil per attack, and 23 mil per spy action. That's significant. That's 22,235,000 per attack and 34,408,750 per spy action (assuming my fast math is correct, which it may not be). That adds up pretty quickly. So who benefits from that? The war clans, imho, because they are the ones who make any real investment in pots anyway. Sure, random BL hits may fail at a higher rate, but you all know that's not what it's about. Once you get those tears flowing and actually make a target of someone, they're gonna be losing much more in what's likely to be a relatively short period of time. You all are good at what you do.
Sorry Frost you aren't making much sense to me, I think the reason why people are annoyed is escaping you. You keep saying the war clans are the ones who will benefit from this, why? Because they're burning more gold from noobs you say, you do know that war clans war other war clans and the only way to get the attack pots to burn the new pots is to do EB. No point in waring when you NEVER get an attack through, you'll be out of all attack pots in no time when you're banking noting.
I still disagree, there are alot of experienced pvp players who don't even bother with pots. There was recently a debate in forums about that involving some fairly experienced players. Yes, war clans do fight other war clans, but that's not going to change ever. There have always been OSW, there always WILL be OSW.
Frost are you kidding me? Every player has to use attack pots unless you have ridiculously huge bfa...
Meant alot of pvp folks don't bother with defense pots. Really, are you going to change the way you play? Unprepared players will still be unprepared players, that's easy pickings for pvp folks. If the argument is that it's going to be more difficult to fight other osw clans, I disagree, given the fact that all involved parties will face the same challenge. I guarantee this won't end osw. Just like the ally drop price change didn't even appear to slow it down, neither will this. How many osw's going on right now, will end in a cf today because both sides agree they need to get some of those new pots? My guess would be zero. How many osw's that would normally start today, won't, because both sides are like "we would totally war you but we can't afford these new pots yet?" My guess is zero.
actually frost on the second note a lot of clans will avoid war because of this update, and I don't think you are really seeing the point in why we are upset. the fact that they added defense pots but didn't change attack pots will ultimately cause more ebs. because people will do more nml and fod ect in order to counter the new defense pots. this is annoying. many people see this as one of many updates that is encouraging PvE rather than PvP. this is why I am annoyed most. Where is this war update they are talking about? they seem to interested in adding more reasons why you should tap a repeat button you are looking at this as one issue, which in some cases your points are valid, you need to see the big picture though
Sorry Frost but you're making no sense, you fail to see why everyone is annoyed. Here you go: IN ORDER TO GET AN ATTACK THROUGH ON EVEN A MUCH SMALLER PLAYER YOU HAVE TO DO HUNDREDS OF EB'S TO STOCK UP THE BALANCING ATTACK POT WHICH YOU NEED BECAUSE THE DEFENCE POT IS PURCHASABLE. Proper War clans won't be potless as you say, so they will have the new defence pots, only ones that won't are people who never want to war.
@Kaw_Admin- Do you have to have all of the equipment from that EB or is one enough to get the other stuff? Example: I only have one sword from FoD, so will I get the other stuff or do I need the other sword first to receive the other things?
#1 Why is Ice Paralysis more expensive than Staff of Clarity? It's Bonus is lower. #2 Why does no one get any new bonus from EBs? We should find out ourselves? Easy, there is no new bonus. A cheap trick to make us do EBs we normay would never do again?
Im confused so like so fods can drop any equipment and stuff im very confused plz post my wall and explain
