First of all, thanks for all those that have participated in the first round. We've made a bunch of fixes and improvements and are now ready for the second round of the open beta! Let's get started on the important details: * We'll be hosting 3 events this weekend, trying to cover as many time zones as possible * You will now able able to get up to 3 levels of Estoc's Edge, so we should see some players with level 3 by the end of the weekend! * We will be opening the wars to all clans who are ranked 250 and above * We have decreased the limit to a minimum of 30 players * We check to make sure your clan meets the roster limit at both the signup and matchup phase. If you sign up and then drop members, you may become disqualified when we attempt matchups * Also, builds that have zero units do not count towards your minium player size, so please be aware of that as you setup your roster War Schedule (All times in PST) War #1 Signup: Friday, Nov 9th, 12pm Start Time: Friday, Nov 9th, 6pm War #2 Signup: Saturday, Nov 10th, 5am Start Time: Saturday, Nov 10th, 11am War #3 ** Note the Time Change ** Signup: Saturday, Nov 10th, 9:30pm Start Time: Sunday, Nov 11th, 3:30am Estoc's Edge * We will be increasing the bonus for level 1 Estoc's Edge from 15% to 24% this Friday * We've added the ability to earn up to 3 levels of Estoc's Edge * Reminder, if you leave or are kicked from a clan, you will lose 1 level of the edge. The timer will not be reset. * If you lose a Estoc Trial, you will also lose 1 level of the bonus. However, the timer will be reset to 2 weeks. * Some of you have complained that drops have decreased. Please remember that the recently added reward drops are not announced in Clan Chat and therefore, you are not seeing all of the drops that your clan mates have been getting. Furthermore, we looked into what has been dropping, and overall, in all cases, drops have gone up for players with Estocs Edge. Matchups * We've made improvements to the matching algorithm, and hope that this will result in better matchups * Note that we do not use your leaderboard ranking to determine matchups, so do not be alarmed if you are matched up with a clan who's rank is vastly different from yours * Some of the clans still have their old prestige points from the summer wars. These prestige points have been reset, and they may be reset again at the end of this open beta. Do not worry too much if these change * ***IMPORTANT*** If there is an odd number of clans signed up, we will be removing the last clan that signed up for the wars. To prevent this from happening, sign up well before the cut off! FAQ? Q. I don't know how I lose a bonus when I leave a clan, it is unfair. A. The edge is meant to promote clan unity. If you are able to win 2 wars before you leave the clan, then you'll always be ahead. If you win 1 war and leave, then you'll maintain your current level. Yes, if you stay in the clan and participate in all war, you will have higher bonuses. However, that is only fair. Q. Can wars pay better? Because XXX cost alot. A. Since we have not implemented the war rewards, we have boosted the Estoc's Edge bonus. This should compensate you for the gold used in wars. Q. Is the increase in Estoc's Edge bonus retroactive to those that have it already? A. Yes Questions/Concerns? Leave a reply below and we'll try to respond to as me as we can.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! What are the percentages for the drop increase for level 2 and 3? Or is that secret?
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Wish I could participate. Oh well. Gl to clans who are going to participate!
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Thank u kaw_admin I'm looking forward to weekend 2 of these exciting fun wars.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Im still recovering from the last war. Cost me about 100b and we lost. When is mithril gonna go back on sale cuz you guys took it off the market shortly after the war. Thanks!
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Oh and please default the clan leaderboard tab to strength because prestige is meaningless as of yet
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! 100b on a 4hr war huh? Now that's serious dedication and spending. I don't think I even lost 1/5 of that for the 2 wars I did.

Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Just curious, will this be auto join again? Or rather all of the same rules as the first wars? Thanks. Can't wait to have another go!
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Can you please investigate the drops of kings tombs? I haven't seen one drop since the first trial.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! Now you are saying when someone leaves or gets kicked from a Clan, they only lose one LVL. I thought it was clear you lost it all. Clarify please. And I have a suggestion on the other Trial Forum. I'll reprint it here.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! I have your solution for the Estoc Spell dilemma. Set another timer when one leaves the War Clan for 24-48 hours. If they can't War in the next War they have to leave. If they do the right thing for the Clan, they currently lose everything. No sense at all. If they aren't back in the War Clan in the time you allot, then They lose Estoc. Problem solved. Thank you. Please ATA, make this one happen.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! @kaw_admin if u have the level one ee badge will it automatically change from 15% to the 24% or do u have to do the war for the new 24% level one ee badge?
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! So if I do all 3 wars in the same clan and win I will have the level 3 estoc edge, and then when I leave and go to my home clan I would only use 1 level so be at a lvl 2 estoc edge and back in my home clan??? Someone let me know if that sounds correct
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! I would suggest somehow posting in cc who got Bronze bars/Pots. Cause I know it angers some people a lot ...Cough (Fraz talkin bout you bro) Cough. Because they see that the EB didn't drop anything lol just inferno and aqua. So it can be misleading.
