Before the start of war #2, we just wanted to make a few annoucements: 1) The clan size restriction was pitched, and was rejected by the community. We do feel this will help in creating less no-match scenarios. Please discuss this in this thread, maybe there is a solution here. Was the reason you voted No because of the higher clan restriction on weekends? If so, let's only clamp it on weekdays. 2) BFA Post Match adjustments - We have looked into solutions for this, but each one opens up the door for alternative exploits. At the end of the day, this is NOT a practice we feel is within the spirit of Estoc Trials. Effectively immediately, we will measure the BFA of the clan at matchup and at regular intervals throughout the war. If we find behaviour that shows that clans are exploiting this, the clan will forfeit all of the winnings of that war. If you are a victim of this, please reply to our no match war threads and we will use that information to investigate. 3) Matchup Adjustments - We have made a tweak in the matchup algorithm yesterday, with the goal of creating better matchups. We will be analyzing the matchups that will occur and continue to adjust accordingly. 4) No Match info for weekends - This is something new we are doing for the community, and we are looking into getting additional support such that we can provide this data for you on the weekends as well as the weekdays.
Just block hire possibility after metchup and problem with BFA solved pretty easy. edit: and if ppl crying about a lot of no match their clan - the problem is not in the system. The problem is in this clans.. 95% clans dont have more than 1-2 no match in a row, why? Answere yourself.
When you say BFA exploits, does that mean some of the clans are dropping allies before the war, and then hiring back after match up?
i don't understand exploits.. if your allies, hired during war you can't rehire an other? or after match up?
Devs here's a solution to solve, EVERYTHING. Simple. Winners receive EE, Rancor level and mith. Losers receive mith but -1 rancor level. Scrap the fair matches, match A with B, C with D, yes there WILL be uneven matches, but everyone is getting mith... How can they complain apart from maybe the loser missing out on rancor level? -VAL
Support on Val's post . Anything to enable us to get rancor levels is better than sitting around getting little mith and no rancor because of a "no match" -ᎦᎰᎡᏋ
People will begin saying.. "Who cares if we lose, atleast we get mith" And voila. You've got more clans signing up, and everyone's happy. And if they know they will get mith no matter what, everyone's going to put more effort in. -VAL
The changes in BFA that we are seeing is inconsistent with just purely banking plunder in allies. You can continue to do this.
Would you consider Val's idea kaw admin or bring it to the forum community for discussion/voting? ᎦᎰᎡᏋ
If all sides get mith here's a better solution. Quit estoc and just have perm no limit sales. Since when do losers get rewarded?
@ KAW admin, the reason i voted no , and im sure others did for this same reason, isent because of limited rosters. Its because some clans spend hours every day watchng other clans and matching them based on your match criteria . If you limit to.only 4 person differance you take away a tone of behind the scene work and strategy no longer is needed . Please listen to the community . We voted NO .
How about this devs. Lock up ally sales in matching period. To help people that have a lot of gold out for whatever reason make a new item: gold bars. These can be bought for 1B each and you can sell them back afterwards for 1B. To make it so you can't bank and cash out so easily you can restrict purchase of these bars to matchup period only and have sales only while that extra rancor's curse spell is active after the war.
vals idea sounds like a win for everyone yes. maybe more clans would sign up with the hopes of atleast getting something. that would in return push xtal sales and help with no matches if more clans sign up. -Pinky
Kaw_admin take a look at this thread for an idea to reduce no match found. http://bit.ly/16L7fOK It's a link to a kaw thread, don't worry.
