Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1 *UPDATE EQUIP*

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, Jul 12, 2013.

  1. News
    * Please be advised that we are running experiments with the current set of wars.

    **UPDATE** we are allowing people to equip/unequip. It was a mistake as we are preparing to test a new algorithm.

    The matchup for War 1 (current war) uses our original matchup algorithm. We are currently testing a new iteration that we hope to have ready with the next war.

    War 1
    1 hour war, 13 minute KO but players can come out 5 minutes early (advantage)
    Friday
    PDT - Friday - 1pm-1:30pm
    EDT - Friday - 4pm-4:30pm
    GMT - Friday - 8pm-8:30pm
    SGT - Saturday - 4am-4:30am

    Signups: 54
    No Match: 4

    Kreuzritter you ended up in an odd man out situation.

    killers united your BFA was too low to match you with any clan of similar build stats and signup size. Your build stats were more than 2x the size of clans with similar BFA.

    Riders of the Apocalypse and Wolves Reborn you both had limited matches in your build size and BFA range and ended up in an odd man out situation. You were very close to matching each other but Wolves had a BFA more than 2.5x of Riders. Wolves you would have had more matchups if your build stats had been higher.

    Y-Axis - # of signups

    As per usual, we will be monitoring clan BFA numbers and we will address any suspicious activity throughout the coming war. Please keep BFA changes post-sign up to a reasonable minimum! Anything beyond that and you will be warned and risk losing rewards and/or match-ups!

    **UPDATE** something strange happened and the data reported was from another past war. Apologies for the error. It was likely human.

    Nice of you to tell us about the equipment until after signups are done :lol:
     
  5. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    If the range is 26-29, then why is 25 showing? Just my OCD. And with this whole equip thing mistake are mistakes, I don't understand why everyone is sooo quick to jump on anything that anger them.

    Idk versa, maybe its because people are now are gonna lose the war due to this and not get compensated. Maybe its because people pay there asses for a good gaming experience and they constantly screwing up everything.

    Lmfao why did u unequip then?
     
  10. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    ^ Because that's just it it "Angered" us that they couldn't tell us about this earlier, they had plenty of time to tell us but they choose to tell us after signups were done. :roll:
     
  11. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    I did it as a joke and now I can't equip them. :/
     
  12. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    U shouldn't have taking your equipment off as this has been on the cards all week the devs said they was going to change it this week
     
  13. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    Idk booty, it seems people don't know how to take a loss. Why would you unequip anyways? If you're a war clan or a part of one, you should know that getting naked is never an option. On top of that, don't tell me how unfair it is when every single person in this game has the same issue as you. A couple members warring here at murder got caught naked and they aren't complaining. You want to know why? Because with equip or without equip, you still fight the war and try to win. If you give up before its even started because you have no equip then you shouldn't be warring anyways.
     
  14. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    People unequip to throw off their enemy.

    During war people switch equipment based on the situation... Apparently, this will not be possible anymore....

    A change like this should be announced...
     
  15. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    That's where the mistake comes in. They just said it was human error. When was the last time they made a mistake this huge? People seem to forget the devs are also human beings and humans are notoriously great at making mistakes.
     
  16. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    Sorry jam and this isn't meant for u but the devs did say this week they would be messing with bfe and match ups ...

    Only reason "most" people take equip off is they think it gives them easier match ups ... For those people guess u got caught with ur pants ... Armor ... Helmet off ... Stop trying to game the system enuff said
     
  17. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    Versa, it's a bonus to your strength. Why not complain?
     
  18. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    What about people that use different equipment durrng war ?? Some people (like me) go with attack equipment when war starts and when I'm about to get out of ko I switch my equipment to have higher spy defense
     
  19. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    Shutouts too all that un-equip to try and get easy matches but going to put *its a clan tradition* excuse.
     
  20. Re: Estoc Trials - Week 6 of Test Wars - War 1

    I think it's funny how the devs say "we will be using the old matching algorithm for War 1"

    And yet still say

    "We won't allow equipping after matchups, it is the first step to out new matching algorithm"

    Lol kinda playing both sides
