Thank you for everyone's feedback. We have read all the responses and will announce updates on any adjustments we may make, in an update in the near future.
@ kaw_admin. I'd just like to say I appreciate you responding so throughly to us in the past few days. It also means a lot that you're taking our feed back in to consideration. Thank you
Why did wulf say "we"? Once again: gj devs, ban all the faces. It is unfair and imo it is good that they made this rule now. You know it now and it is not unfair if they remove all mithril! Thanks for the people who clarified what an illegal account is.
Illegal accounts ban. If a clan has many accounts who have only 2 buildings at warstart, it is obvious what they wanted to do. For everyone in that clan! The land trick exploit is the only way how such accounts could have helped. But players cannot detect illegal alts who are millions in cs. How should anyone know if that player has additional Internet-only accounts? Earlier in the game I bought "unlinked" allies only if they used emoji in their status message to avoid gold loss when the devs delete illegal alts, but meanwhile PC users can use emoji, too. Do the devs expect us to ask "is your account legal" before buying allies or before accepting new clanmembers? Does anyone think those cheaters will tell the truth, even if we ask?
After some thought. You could keep the upgrade ban in place during the wars. But open an option for say platinum bars to be bought which can be sold for 100% of their purchase price. Then simply have it that these bars can only be bought 5 minutes into the war
Please answer this: Upgrading at ANY TIME after matchup will cause all clan members to pay penalty. So some D-Bag hires my 100 bill ally 5 mins before war. I don't cry like a LB player, but I calmly upgrade a lvl 2 > lvl 3 (like the game allows) and THIS action will now put my clan in jeopardy ?!?
Why not make it so a person with teeny tiny stats can only take away like 5-10 troops from a large build on a failed action? That way, these cheaters can drain 20 full attack drains of all fails on someone and still not even KO them, forcing them to hit smaller players on the other clan. In wars, I am generally in the top 5 of my clan and a big target. What usually happens is they stick their small alts on my with failed scouts and attacks... Very frustrating!
Haven't thought this idea through but here it is anyways: Since this thread is about Estoc : Change war system in 2 ways to improve. 1. Estoc edge is kept by the player until timer runs out or they lose a war. Player is free to roam clans without losing edge. 2. Players sign up for war (not clans). Devs place players in Estoc clans for war. This would remove "odd clan out" scenario. This would improve matchups. Food for thought.
@wtfamidoinghere: Option #2 would bring much more disorganized wars, but it'd have the benefits you mentioned, plus: • More arguments, leading to OSW. Seriously, even with an hour before war, people would be discussing a lot. • Would bring more of a "fast thinking" strategy, given that they have random builds. • Would allow players with the intention to ruin the war, to join, which could be fixed by allowing admins to kick members as soon as war starts. • Would be difficult to place clan admins.
Yes - that is very, very illegal. I suggest you apologize to support@athinkingape.com before they ban all your accounts. Ask them if you can reset and delete two, and keep one. I am not joking...
Still waiting to hear back if my clan mates and I will be refunded our crystals after we lost our war due to this exploit/cheat being used by our opponents....
Well first off i want to say well done ive noticed an improvement with the war system. Better match ups less lag. Now on to more important things, this land trick issue, first ive heard of it, dont have an opinion about it however just fix it and be done with it. Removing ug during war really, REALLY wow dont think before you act do you ibe been striped during war's and trying 2 find an ally is more work then you think, and wasting my gold on pots is just plain stupid. WHAT ARE U THINKING punishing the entire clan for one person stupid and dumb is what id call it. Time to wake up and realize you are killing you'r new war system not to mention the game with these actions.
An additional way this could be improved is not letting people equip things after match ups... Could be exploited still in that way.
