I think this new war system is great. It gives a new concept to the idea of war. I think the system itself is a great idea. The rewards are yet to be seen, besides the myth payout. So I would like to see some of the possible rewards for winning. Turtle wars are what kept me from wanting to system war. I didn't have the time or patents , to sit on my iPod for hours straight , waiting for the first person to go offline for 15 min 1sec. So this is a great way to correct that and allow players to really go hit for hit. The ko system allows for the team to work together and knock out each enemy . I love it and I'll b partaking in the next one.
And screw all the whining about it not paying well enough... War has always been expensive! We do ebs to stock up pots and get a bit of growth in before next war. War is the fun part of the game but I really don't mind that its so expensive to take part in. Saying that make some new equipment or give pots to people from wars alongside the mythrils will keep most people happy. Same system as ebs each action gives u a % chance to win a item/equipment drop. Winning team only of course . Also something I've always thought would be good, a little off topic maybe, would be a personal war history. Same as clan war history but a tab on each player so u can see the system wars they have personally been in before. Always thought that would be kinda cool.
After this first test, I did see a few things that need tweaking or in some cases a complete overhaul. 1. The matchup was atrocious. Clans that are over 20 spots from each other on the ranking should never be paired together. There should only be a or - 10 variance between rankings for opposing clans. 2. The lag was terrible. I would barely know I was out of pin before I took hits. It required spamming the attack button to try and get a jump on my regen. Now that could have been a product of being outnumbered 2:1, however it made for a frustrating experience. 3. I agree a timer on the knockout would be helpful...like the ones for mithril sales when you try to buy too early. Yes, I know I can check my news feed but truthfully that wastes time and war is all about timing. I think this system has merit but for me it is hard to judge due to a crazy match up. That being said, it was an excellent change from the constant eb's and I had a ton of fun. Thank you Apocalypse for an entertaining and fun war!
To answer - yes, hansels, or anyone for that matter, was DTW if they had 0troops out but still had spies. Meant they needed to be assa or scouted for easy KO.
Need to put a repeat button on iPhone, the actions of going thru each step was so slow that oppents swarming can just ko you before you can hit hust a few times
As an addition, lose or significantly reduce the war tax. I get why it was implemented but with the addition of these new pots it just doesn't fit with this new war system. Losing more per hit than you make is just disheartening. I've never expected to make money in war, but it sure would be nice to almost break even. That's not possible with the way the war tax stands now after adding in the costs of the new pots.
What's the need for auto-join? I like the new setup for war. Bronze bars or maybe introduce silver bars for war, which hold value. Think we should be able to hold on to money after war win or lose. Finally get rid of auto-join. People should be able to play when they are ready.
As Estoics edge bonus is basically a mith bonus we should be able to carry it over when you leave clans. As their is a war tomorrow and I can't participate I will not have the bonus after tonight I think that needs to change. We put in the work it shouldn't be taken away when leavin clan. Thanks
@jack - that's kinda part of the point, if you work as a team to destroy a player they don't have time to react. If you go alone they will. Seems I missed a cpl of posts about regen times and regen % when out of pin. I agree once pinned its a ***** to get out, so either random 10-30min "safe" time, making it harder to keep someone pinned constantly. And/or have a set 40% troops with a timer so you can know when you'll be out of pin with a semi-decent amount of troops.
Well our clan won and all i can say so far is ESTOC EDGE sucks lol our drop rate has not improved at all???? Yeah plunder gone up about a mill a hit but as for drops nothing
Eliminate the auto-join. Joining the war is a strategy itself, joining in pairs or groups in order to ko opponents. And it keeps inactives from being targets. Also it will keep ppl in same clan instead of moving around to other clans that are not warring because they can't be active at start of war.
What's with hating on the auto-join? It's a 4hr war, with a set start time that is known long in advance. I think auto-join is excellent. Allows you to make plans for then1st 10mins. Please don't remove this!
It felt like old school warring. Two thumbs up. Only thing I can see so far is what was already stated about knowing exactly when someone comes out of being knocked out. Easy to track and time 15 minutes. But that how we did it back old school days.
Auto join is a fantastic thing. War tax serves no purpose other than making sure that you come out in the negative.
Awesome update devslove the 4 hr war. Not to thrilled with the auto join, as the objective is to keep clans together. Everyone can't start at the same time but could join later. You should really rethink that option, if your goal is to keep clans together. Those who could join later ended up not warring due to the auto join. Match ups could have been a bit better as well.
@Kaw admin Can you please check our EB history cuz we do B2B FOD just to try the difference of having estoc bronze. Unfortunately we are very disappointed with the results cuz it almost no drop at all (worst drop!).. I think you need to check it again cuz its like theres no edge having it.. thanks..
Loved the new system!! Knockouts are a blast! The 4 hour war was just right. Would be nice if you could make 4 hours an option going forward!
To clarify my earlier point. I was unable to hit hansels through attack when they HAD got troops (it came up as DTW). However I was able to successfully assassinate; killing both their spies and troops.
