Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 4

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, Apr 22, 2013.

  1. Week 4 Begins!

    Week 4 of the first season of, Estoc Trials - The Rancor Wars, begins!! A few important notes for this week:

    * War times have changed for #3,#6,#11 and #12. All of the time changes were done to make it easier for time zones outside of North America to war.
    * We are looking into the possibility of awarding Vanishing Paladin to the losers of Rancor Wars. We will update everyone when we have a timeline for this. We apologize for the delay here.
    * We are still monitoring BFA tweaks and have reached out to clans that we feel are borderline in the changes that have occurred.

  2. Sweet, no more 6am war 6 and 11.
     
  3. I know it's obvious by looking at the other time zones, but I'd recommend putting noon next to the 12am time zone to avoid confusion for wear coast players.
     
  4. nice
     
  5. Guild Hansels should pay the same to incoming attacks as they make with their attacks
     
  6. Typo on war 3.
    it should say 12pm-12:30pm PST.. 12am is midnight
     
  7. For those of us that have a busy RL, the late night/early morning wars are the only option. Im from PDT, 3am was pushing it, 4am is just too late for me..

    I know I'm probably in the minority but 11pm/midnight start times would be perfect. =)
     
  8. I like the chnge time devs great job !!! But although i think that u need to chnge 1 or 2 time cause their is 4 GMT time that not good for a lot of ppl ( 4:00 am war) so i dont say remove it totally just say that if u can do it 3hours earlier or 2h later like this :

    Its only a suugestion but this way GMT player play also a lot of wars .
     
  9. Thx, And for us Europe???
     
  10. You've moved war time to suit USA again you prick. can only do 2 wars now. Yet again ******** all over Europeans.
     
  11. Or you could stop complaining and stay up/get up early like other regions do when a war isn't their way.

    There are plenty of GMT times on there I would kill for in my time zone.

    They aren't going to serve every war on a plate to Europeans, as they make crap all of the player base.

    Now people, try and use some logic please.

    Anarchy.
     
  12. Hey snicker man, didja not see the thread asking for suggestions for times for wars that was up all week? Should of posted your opinion there, instead of griping now. Your own fault.
     
  13. Nice time changes devs. I would make 1 suggestion though. I realize you made wars #1 & 4 for the US west coast but it would be awesome to bump those times back 1hr. to 9pm est. This would still accommodate the west coast & would better accommodate more east coast players such as myself. When I have to work @ 11pm I can't be fully active= I can't war those days. Just a suggestion. Other than that, great job!!
     
  14. Crap all of player base yeah think again anarchy.
    But can't be bothered to waste my time further on how wrong you are.
    Or how much again kaw_admin has screwed Europe over again.
    The two most important wars that were requested for change were 2 and 5.
    Just one hour earlier to let working people and students get to bed at midnight. Yet No again that's far too much to ask of devs. All of us have no work family or commitments that are more important than kaw so we are expected to spend all our nights on this.
    Way to lose your European player base devs. You have just totally kicked them in the teeth and proven you care nothing for them.
    Hope the USA player base realise how much of a free pass they are getting to both red paladin equipment and rancour equipment due to these wars. Europe based players will never be able to compete evenly and devs do nothing to provide equal opportunity to its players.
    War times were rewards are offered need to be available for every time zone. This is not implemented in this game and though that may lead to some time zones with less people actually warring it would allow those time zones the opportunity to compete.
    As clearly demonstrated by devs this is not a consideration and purely the game is based at one market ignoring everyone else that plays.

    Well the one certain fact will be that devs earnings will reduce from their Europe based players.
    Those few of you left warring enjoy the relatively free rewards.
    Until there is an alternative way to earn mith then I'm done with wasting my time trying to get a fair deal for players that clearly the devs won't and do not desire to give.

  15. Majority of clans can't get enough without yanks new times are good devs thank you 
     
  16. There are now 5 out of 12 times that are good for GMT. I'm confused why all the hate. That's NEARLY HALF, and considering the fact that the European player base is nowhere near half of the kaw player base, I think having nearly half the wars starting at a good time for GMT is MORE than fair.
     
  17. Yep good for the job less and people with no family.
     
  18. Go on the dole and get a divorce if you wana war that bad lol
