Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta @bellamorte I have read your reaction on a comment by Liverpool about Estoc edge being personalized based on plunder and take outs multipying plunder and rewards likewise, that is all clear However since autolock will be in effect all clanmembers in top 100 clans that due to work or whatever reason are unable to join in, will leave their clans in order not to leak, making room for other interested players to fill the clan back up to 100 members, I am one of the latter category quite willing to participate However, it is said that the personalised earned edge is only in effect for 2 weeks as long as you stay in that clan,"to stimulate clanloyalty" In my situation, as a clanowner of a clan ranked around position 500 that would mean I would have to leave my homeclan for 2 weeks to benefit from the edge earned, cause I would lose it once I go back to my homeclan, cannot afford to stay away 2 whole weeks In addition, suppose every guest filling the clanblanks would stay for 2 weeks to profit max from the edge earned, that would disable real clanmembers who left for only one occasion, to rejoin their own homeclan cause they were unable to participate at that specific period of time this miniwar was scheduled Now apart from gaining the experience of a new warsystem, there would be no advantage for players like me to join in, cause all edges would disappear once I rejoin my own clan So my suggestion would be to keep all edges earned really personalised for those 2 weeks, as a real reward for making a contribution, no matter what clan you join afterwards Hope to read your reaction soon
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta I'm interested! Let me know of a clan going ahead with this! I'll clear my diary!! Lmao
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta I think the pure spy like me just got completely nerfed for war if I am not dtw - even with no gold out - the opposing clan will just feed on me. With a build up as a hansel I'm still screwed, as my lone building is an ineffective defense and makes me a simple zero target. ATA always disliked pure spies and considered us an exploit - now we're rendered useless for war ? Not good .....
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta What if u knockout a player that has not accumulated plunder? Does that player get negative plunder for being knocked out?
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta I'm seeing a lot of concern about "auto join" in this thread. You concerns are legit, but, please bear in mind, this is only a beta. Community concerns will be addressed as things move forward. There are some very easy ways this can be dealt with. Fear not. I suspect "auto join" is only very temporary.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta Although its impossible to make improve,ants that will appeal to 100% of the player base, this should appeal to the majority. Let me address your concerns directly, Currently this app is out of balance. It favors EB warriors. This is not acceptable. The creation of estocs edge creates balance. It rewards people who participate in all aspects of KaW, from EB to war. EB warriors should appreciate the chance to earn been more cash and prizes from their EBs, and warriors should like estocs edge because it will allow the, to more effectively stock up for war. Also, if a war clan has the highest level of estocs edge, they can afford to spend less time actually doing EB Amd they can focus on more on OSW, if they so choose. As for other prizes, KaW admin left the door open to that. If you review his opening post, he states in the last paragraph that there may be a wide array of prizes offered
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta Being as it would be totally random, it would turn a war I to a modified EB, as all you'd have to do is find the targets that are not online and then pound them. . I don't care for this idea
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta This in no way favors one build over another. Remember, there is a new scoring system now.
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta You are far from "nerfed" If you are a pure spy you can still knock people out. All you need to is get the killing shot in. It's very possible to do this. Also, as a pure spy, it will be difficult to take your spy units out, as your spy bar will be stronger than most. PRO TIP:pop up some of the new def towers in your build. They take in a huge new strategic role in this war system. Don't underestimate their value
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta @Moose A couple of questions 1. If I had no gold out would I be DTW? 2. If I destroyed my spy building I would be open for steals but I couldn't be zeroed?
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta Am I correct to assume that you can get double-dipped by having troops and spies knocked to 0 or does set dropping to 0 automatically shield the other for 15 minutes?
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta Somebody let me know when a war tourney comes out for players NOT in top 5%. Summer Wars, ASW, now this including only top 100 clans. Hope beta test is opened to more soon but guessing not. Glad the bigs are getting to have more fun and more rewards..back to my mundane eb now. (And yes osw is great but please, they don't drop or give rewards, other than the whines of an opponent )
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta DragonMaster I don't understand your question. If I attack you and drop your troops to zero, but not your spies, you'll be fine. There will be no knock out. You must have BOTH bars at zero to be knocked out. Remember, if you knock your self out, you will suffer a financial penalty

Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta In initial post about new war system it was noted that if clan retained 80% of war members they kept their bonus for duration of effect but would loose it if they lost > 20% of warring members. Newest post only mentions individual player losing bonus if they leave clan in the bonus period. Please clarify how this bonus is tied to clan and individual if possible. Also, it is noted that all times are in PDT which is changing to PST on 11/04/12 (Sunday war.) This too needs clarification NOTE: PDT = GMT - 7 PST = GMT - 8 Ty
Re: Estoc Trials - Open Beta I'm a small build but would like to try out the new war system. If any clans have an opening please let me know. Not a fan of the "turtle wars".
