Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2! *Updated*

  1. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    The whole idea behind estoc edge was to stop clan hoping and promote loyalty to clans so I don't understand why people moaning about losing it if they leave clan. However it's part of the game people visit friends in other clans so how about rewarding estoc edge to the clan only. If you were part of the war that earned it then you get it. If you leave clan you lose it until you return back to the clan as long as the clan still holds it.

    For Australian times;

    Sydney / Canberra / Melbourne
    It's GMT plus 11hrs

    Perth
    GMT plus 8 = SGT

    Adelaide
    GMT plus 10.30

    Good Luck.

    Also work times coupled with war start times mean I could only participate in one of the weekend wars. So I will have to leave clan while they war. This goes against the whole idea of promoting clan loyalty. There will be 1000s of people with the same problem. The only way around this is to stop the auto join

    I currently have level 1, if I war Friday and win, will that then be level 2?

    @kaw_admin are you going to make changes in our feedback about game mechenism, setup and critical bug? Example: removed self ko in cc flooding, scout with spydef pots on and lag issue. If our feedback nothing is done, there same problem will ocurred and whats the point of warring and wasting our time typing feedback?

    I feel that you are screwing handles over because we rely on ally plunder, will you change the bonus from plunder to ally plunder?

    Remembrance day is celebrated in the commonwealth countries (Not Just Britain). It's customary to hold a silence at 11am on the 11th of November, it would be helpful if the war start time was set an hour or so later

    Did someone actually just suggested to allow SDP to be used to defend scout...? =___=.
     
  9. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    I take it all the rules, auto join and length are all the same as last weeks beta.

    If there is a beta achievement award I assume it will not be rewarded until all testing is complete.

    If you still hold the bonus from last weeks war and win one of this weekends wars, it will increase to lvl 2. Lvl 3 if you participate and win in two wars this weekend.

    Last week I believe wars started a few mins after the hr. mine did anyway. Hopefully that will be the case for the 11am start time war.
     
  10. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    Yes, I agree. Exactly.
    I wrote feedback on this, and posted in the "Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Feedback" thread.

    • I suggested the devs add who wins Bronze and the new Potions in the [update] message at the end of the EB.

      We have been tracking the effect on drops after winning Estoc's Edge in the 2nd Trial.
      People have been complaining about the lower number of items dropped in Item EBs.

      I have been trying to convince people that perhaps we aren't getting items, but are getting hammers and amulets and bronze and such.

      So, I'm sure the devs are getting plenty of feedback on the Estoc Edge drop rate. We do notice a huge DROP in items awarded.

      I recommended that the devs add to the [update] message, so people can see how much an Item EB actually pays out.
     
  11. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    When will we get the betatest achievement for the two first wars?
     
  12. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    I can't take part in the first war so I have to leave my clan. After all the effort I put into both last weekends wars I'm really annoyed at the thought of loosing benefits hard earned.
    I would not mind so much if my Estoc Edge was returned when I return to clan.

    Please Admins reconsider this point. I should not face penalties for being loyal to clan.

  14. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    @kaw_admin: my only suggestion would be to have a short time limit that allows you to leave your home clan and go to only one other clan if you are unable to war after say 1 or 2 wars. You shouldn't be punished if you can war in the first two but real life gets in the way of the third. I know this may not happen, but obviously you would be kicked or leave your clan if you can't war in the last one and then you lose a lvl of the edge for doing what's best for your clan.

    Just my thoughts...thank you.

    In saying this, I love the new war system!

    I think Estoc should be reward to players individual. If ur an item hunter like me u travel alot between clans. U should not be punished cos ur not bound to one clan. The Estoc should be just like a mith spell u can bring where ever u go. Still wondering when we will recive betatest achievement?????

    When beta testing is complete :roll:
     
  17. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    @ firehealer, part of the point of EE is to promote clan loyalty. Allowing people to keep it no matter how often they leave clans defeats the purpose.
     
  18. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    Firehealer the whole point of estoc and new drops was to keep clans loyal to each other increase amount of drops so that clans would mix up ebs and people wouldn't be bound into clan hoping chasing items. Thing is they did not think it through and it's backfired into b2b fod clans etc. The only way to rectify this is keep estoc to the clan. As for the new war rules they will result eventually in the opposite of what we had with turtle wars. Again not very well thought through. How about 4 hour no rules war limit it to 1 xtal per hour match clans ASIs done now and jus let people get on with it
     
  19. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    Can you make a round three where any clan can try it out
     
  20. Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta - Round 2!

    Nope that wouldn't work either. 

    It's still a turtle war with a penalty.

    The strategies have changed significantly. And a lot of the war is a team as well as an individual effort.
    If you don't show up, basically your clan loses.
