With the upgrade trick it's even easier that selling buildings. Just save all of your money during the week and upgrade before first war. If all clan does it it's a huge advantage. Having said that though, disabling it whilst keeping ally sales active is an awful idea. Stop ally sales from people in EE wars if you want to stop them doing what they want with the cash. Also support for the plugging of loopholes in general. As has already been posted by most people though, punishing the entire clan when you have the member restrictions you do is harsh. IP ban the accounts themselves though. Looking at the general responses to KaW admin in this thread Its easy to see there is a huge amount of frustration boiling around out there. I would say to ATA whilst its your game, it's our community. If you want to make changes that effect all of us in this way why not state reasons and arguments and put it to a vote as you did with the xtal idea?
This system was developed together with the community, if you check the history of how this was done, it was beta tested with real players. Also, all progress and decisions were made in a public thread where everyone was asked to weigh in on the the design decisions that were made. Therefore, I don't believe it is very fair to say that no one asked for this type of system. Also, "It's the fact I have to literally have to be on my phone or computer nonstop playing kaw for the entire duration of the war." I find it appealing that when a player plays a game, they are playing it for the duration of the game. If the duration of the wars bother you, we are planning on putting out 2 hour wars. I can tell from your post that you are unhappy with the way wars are going in general, so let's try to make something positive out of this, and come up with ideas to improve the experience for everyone involved.
Just to clarify, we are not punishing players who try to use every advantage possible. We are only punishing those that break our TOU. Players that have used these strategies in the past, good for them. We are simply removing them such that not all players are forced to use them to succeed.
Final summation.. JUST DON'T WAR AT ALL. that way the devs can't screw with punishments for crimes you don't commit (unless of course, YOUR the person with multiple accounts, then i guess u sorta deserve it anyways.) (winkey-face) ;P
Okay I hope this doesn't affect me, but I do need to point it out. I have a total of 3 accounts. Now these accounts I have linked to my 3 phones. why do I have 3 phones? well when I first started playing this game I had it linked to my cell. Then I got a new phone, and linked my account to my new phone. Now because of this, I created a new account on my old phone. Then I got addicted to the game, and my previous previous phone, another android I made my 3rd account. Now, I play with 3 different accounts, with 3 different phones(2 of which I play with wi-fi rather than my phones network's 4G.) The only thing is that they are all connected to the same google account. this is not cheating, as I use 3 different phones, for 3 different accounts. I don't have anything to worry about, right?
RESERVING TIME FOR EE WAR - and having a "NO MATCHUP" cancellation vs A POSSIBLE MISMATCH Cast your opinions wisely. :lol:
Now that, I support. Of course, a few of the things that are being changed don't mesh with this statement (punishing the entire clan for one person, stopping upgrades/new builds after match up for everyone)...but it's a great start.
What about the possibilty that someone will use this to screw with clans they dislike, join a clan for EE with small Lowland complete guild hansel which takes 4-5 days to build and then report themself anonymously to screw with clans.
I choose no match up if its unfair and there's no shot at winning. Why waste my time? Mismatch is worse than a no match. At least I won't waste pots/mith/gold/my time
But honestly... I haven't participated in a single EE war So my opinion is less valuable then normal.
Another exploit!!! this is ridiculous devs, I find it hard to believe people are finding ways to beat your system and this has gone on far too long,if I was you scrap the ee until u can offer a working war system with no loopholes /possible exploits
True oOz But the same players who have been vocal about fixing matchups, won't like getting a "NO MATCH" from the EE war. Losing their chance to get mith/new paladin items/etc.. I sense much hindquarter aching. And everyone will blame ATA. But at least it won't be a mismatch now. Forums needs a new topic. "WAS UNFAIRLY BLOCKED FROM EE GLORY" I can see it now.
These ee wars dwindle in numbers of clans competing each week, it's a failing war system that isolates lots of players... I say scrap it and maybe Kaw_Admin should put just a little effort into bettering system wars than just scrapping them like they have, ee wars are a failure and will never be fair, the punishment for a few exploiting your failure is not a reason to screw the rest of people in a clan kaw_admin so maybe use your head for once and stop ruining what was once a good game
@kaw_admin since we are looking for good things to fix/add; how about you add a different size screen resolution for those of us who have iPhone 5?
Forget offenders for a second what about the cheated players of this and previous tower exploit and any other exploits that exist???? let me guess we have to just accept we've been cheated out of time /gold/mith etc and keep faith in you guys lol
And Willy maybe everyone should blame ata players have done nothing technically wrong they have used tactics and there brains to beat and cheat this very flawed system,the blame can only lie with ata and a hate thread/threat to offenders lol isn't enough in my eyes to make this right, we have been let down but will not be compensated for there mistakes
There is a slight problem with matchup but in most cases the clans thatt lose badly are poorly organised and have atleast a 5-10 inactives on their roster. Some clans have simply figured out which dates seem to have most active participating clans and are limiting the number of players allowed for each of the 5 wars. That is simple strategy for them, it's as if people are demanding that they win no matter what, matchup can't always be a complete mess if there are clans consistently winning even now that the towerbuild exploit is practically gone, meaning some clans must be planning their participation in EE very well while others keep believing that the only reason that they keep losing every week is due to matchmaking.
idk bout anyone else, but since kaw_admin is replying, I wanna have my message quoted. Though now that I've said this I expect I'll be ignored :lol: :lol: :lol:
