Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 7

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, May 13, 2013.

  1. Week 7 Begins!

    Welcome to the final 2 weeks of Season 1! Here are the updates:

    * A win will now give out four rancor levels!
    * *IMPORTANT* All wars now have a member cap of 33
    * We will be counting every member's rancor level on the last Sunday of the season (Week 8) at Midnight PDT. Please ensure that your rancor level does not expire by then
    * There have been multiple forum posts about improvements that we can make to Estoc Trials. We want to let you all know that we are looking into all of them, and that we will be making significant improvements before Season 2 commerces. Some of the solutions are drastic changes, and we do not want to make these changes during a season.

  2. Thanks devs :)
     
  3. War 9 and 10 start at the same time same day. Isn't it a bit odd?
     
  4. Bfe whiners may get their way. 
     
  5. Am and pm, ignore my comment.
     
  6. Yup. BFE exploits for two more weeks. Lucky ducks. Congrats to those BFE exploiters. You know who you are!
     
  7. @King_ME

    You can shut up now. I think we've all had enough of your bloody whining because you couldn't make the effort to go and get your equipment, so want those who did to lose the bonus of their equipment.

    Secondly, you have been abusing and exploiting the system, with your little mwars, again because you couldn't be arsed to go and get your own equipment.

    Get off forums, grow a pair, and stop crying because you don't know how to war.
     
  8. @King So how do you propose they fix the bfe problem without making players remove their equipment?
     
  9. Honestly bfe is a huge factor but can be countered but I agree that it should be factored in.
     
  10. Look bfe is NOT an exploit ... But does play a large factor in wat way a war goes ...

    If the idea of these tournaments is to most evenly match clans strengths to get the best possible experience for all involved then all the strengths of that clan(individual accounts in the warring clan) need to be accounted for and locked at start of the "war"

    I say "war" cause it isn't a real war it's a tournament set up and picked by the devs ... If u had a choice in who u fought and both sides were fighting then it's a war ... But as they stand now devs force match ups .. And for good reason.. The only thing they don't count on is the resourcefulness of their player base to "skirt" the system

    But for "wars" to be as much about clans and strategy u must first be as evenly matched in strength as possible .. Taking bfa cs and bfe into consideration is the only way to do that fairly

    Then it's left up to activity ,stragety , leadership and commitment

    But lets face it it is a computer game it is totally based on numbers as are most things .. If u leave out part of the equation u will get the wrong answer( miss matches)

    Their are matches in this tournament right now that it is mathematically impossible to win and then there are some that are close enough that it comes down to the players

    All I'm trying to say is that yes the matching system is broke .. But in the end it is a game try to have fun with ur friends and do wat u can do to the best u can ...

    And as for people whinning about why win the equip if its counted in matchups?
    1 ... I would think ud want the best match for ur clan otherwise it's not really a test of how good u are just a matter of the mathematics working in ur favor or not
    And 2... Their are way more ways to use that equip in this game then just ee "wars" one day as u keep playing u will learn about the other aspects that have kept kaw in the hearts of so many of its player and kept them coming back day after day and month after month

    Just a few thoughts for u hard heads to mull over
     
  11. I don't participate in the EE wars so this is not an attempt to "whine" or "cry" about this topic. On that note, BFE should be factored into the overall strength when determining matches. No you should not have to remove equipment or anything so drastic but all equipment attached to your individual profile should be factored in so there is no way to "equip it for an advantage" once the war starts. Seems like the right thing to do IMO and it doesn't take away from those that have "earned" their equipment. Just my two cents.
     
  12. I'm starting to hate the word "Exploits" in KaW. So many people complaining things aren't fair. News flash, life ain't fair.

    What you need to understand is its unfair for everyone at different times. One war is weighted to the advantage of one clan one day and to another a different day. The unfairness averages out.

    There is no way to make a perfectly fair match. I repeat, it impossible to make things perfectly fair. We are not children with a mom splitting up Haloween candy so we each have exactly the same.

    Next season it will be the same, people complaining things are not fair. You have to make a decision for yourself. Do I want to make things fair for myself or continue to ***** and moan someone is "exploiting" you.

    Stop being the victim and start taking control of your own destiny.
     
  13. King, I normally don't post on forum, but you are a little cross the line here.

    I tell you how do I got those Eq, I war about 4 month now, 6-7 wars a week, each war I used about 230 pots, that is about 16 bil gold, and each war I used 2 xstal, that is about $2, so each week I spend 100 to 110 bil gold and $12-$14, 4 month, that is 1.6-1.8 T gold, and over a hundre dollors (earn some xstal with quest), and yes I want take advantage of my hard work, if you want those eq, working on it, stop complaining, and stop calling it a exploit.
     
  14. This is KaW, not communist Russia, life isn't fair. People worked hard at their equipment and are smashing your face in. Just because you want equipment nurfed instead of manning up and admitting not warring for the past 6 months cost you now, doesnt mean its an exploit. The exploit is the whining because you thought you could take the first 4-6 weeks off of season 1 and still get to L50. Well mow you are getting your asses handed to you. Deal with it!

    Do more EB's and enchant what you have, or come up with a better strategy. The new equipment is just as good as the Mith equipment, some is even better. (Better defensive numbers for most. I'm working on the cloak and boots personally)

    We got out faces smashed in by ER and murder war, so we got bigger to beat them. Well we got too big. We adjusted and got pushed up a class and now see RCA, Warlor and Zaft, and you know what, sometimes they smash out faces in still. So we tweaked and adjusted the system to try and beat them.

    We win some, we lose some. In life you take your knocks, sometimes you get your ass handed to you, sometimes you fight a close battle and some times you smash other teams faces in. That's how it works.

    Stop whining about exploit X or broken build Y, man up, be creative and figure out how to get around the exploits. That's what they did to beat you. It's time to stop whining, man up and counter back.

    Rant over, back to lurking.
     
  15. Well said super 
     
  16. Lmao king_me crying again who cares all members wars with them not an exploit and if u think so then u the dumbet most cry baby guy in Kaw never seen anyone cry as much as u

    I can be even nastier but I'm not drunk yet
     
  17. @kaw_admin in the first thread you made about the ee season you said it would end with a asw war from players that partake in the ee season. Is there any update on that are how the players would be picked?
     
  18. BFE is not the exploit, I agree, but worms downsizing to get easy matches because BFE is not included in matchups is. Good luck in season 2 Worms, seems like you get more easy matches for the next 2 weeks 
     
  19. King what are you on about?? Look at our matches- SOTRA, PoC, GHC Syndicate- they aren't easy.
