Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars *UPDATE*

Discussion in 'Wars' started by admin, Jun 19, 2013.

  1. ** UPDATE **
    Updated daily schedule with KO times. They were copied from last week and did not reflect the tests.

    Welcome to ROUND 3 of Test Wars between Season 1 and Season 2! Here are the updates:

    Updates:

    By popular request, we rolled back the change we made to how allies contributed to a player's plunder. We are looking into a way that we can change matchups and wars in general to better reflect the core gameplay of KAW instead of creating two tiers of play. But this weekend we want to nail down KO changes so we have a couple new tests to try.

    New test wars

    No wars will have the BFA adjustments.

    *Estoc Edge will be awarded as before. 1 level earned for winning, 1 level lost for losing. You will still lose a level if you leave your clan
    * Mithril will still be rewarded for winning.
    * No Rancor levels will be awarded
    * *IMPORTANT* All wars now have a member participation range of 25 to 33 members

    Random KO
    Duration: 2 hour
    Crystals: 2
    KO: Random KO time between 10 and 20 minutes.

    Yes they are all 2 hour wars. not a mistake
     
  4. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    So all wars this weekend are 2 hours?
     
  5. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    Looks great! Looking forward to it.
     
  6. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    Well see if it's any good......
     
  7. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    Still no bfe and gh tweaks?
     
  8. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    So the random ko thing is for sure going to be part of the new system since all testing is with a version of it or still deciding? Only wondering if this is a set thing or not or do we at least have a chance at 15 minute ko times still?
     
  9. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    I have a question. My ee will run out during the war. Will I lose all of it or will it go till the end of the war?
     
  10. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    i donot want bfe changes why am i gona war and not beable to use the equip.that i have earned
     
  11. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    I'd just like to say I enjoyed the 1 hour blitz wars and would like to see them become a regular thing. Some of us are busy and the 1 hour wars are perfect for those of us who can't spend large amounts of time staring at a phone.
     
  12. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    Thanks for posting early this week.
     
  13. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    I love the 1hr wars and would like to see at least 1 each week..they are a lot of fun
     
  14. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

     thank you
     
  15. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars


    So you take off your Equipment when not warring?
    Don't use it at all on EB or in OSW?
    I mean why wear it at all outside of EE if that's the only value it has to you?

    Seriously, IMO BFE should be factored same as BFA in matchups. Keep the benefits of what you earned but match the clans as fairly as possible.
     
  16. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    I agree totally with a1 and I also agree with sunny
     
  17. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    I only ask about the random ko with advantage because it causes players to have to spam Att on players for a large window 5-10 minutes all that spamming does 3 things

    1 gets very boring
    2 screams for a bot (anyone willing to cheat that is
    3 takes players out of cc for strategy adjustments changes and crystal calls

    A set time is better random is fine but choosing when u can come up in a window is no punishment for being koed in the first place and causes chaos for both sides durning wars
     
  18. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    I agree the 1 hr wars are way easier to find the time to do. There should be 1 hr wars each week.
     
  19. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    Random or set time get rid of choosing makes for a more even playing field which is obviously what your trying to accomplish
     
  20. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 3 of Test Wars

    Yes biggy that's wat I was trying to say with alot more words lol
