News * There have been reports, both on the forums and sent via feedback, that certain clans are exploiting the system to their benefit. If you find evidence of this, please add it to these threads that we are creating for each war. Next week, we will go through the data and take any appropriate actions necessary. We are reading the responses, and the other threads that are posted, and will investigate the clans that were mentioned. * We are finding that very few clans sign up over 33 members, for all wars. To make matches more likely, and stop clans from signing up with numbers that will obviously get no match, we are going to be making adjustments to the max clan size for next week. War #10 Signups: 49 No Match: 3 AMUN_RA- Odd man out situation, although a slightly high roster size removed some possible matches from you. Rising Hawks - Your BFA is over 4X higher than anyone in your range. Tropic Thund - Your BFA is too low for any possible matchups. War #9 Signups: 41 No Match: 7 Kings Of Kaw III - Please do not sign up with such high numbers. History has shown that such high numbers will result in a no match. Great_Wall - Your high member size excluded you from any possible matches within your strength bracket. _MESSIAH_ - Your high member size excluded you from any possible matches within your bfa bracket. Rising Hawks - Your BFA is 6X higher than anyone close to you. We've seen this happen several times before, please adjust your rosters accordingly. WarLoR WarHounds - Your BFA is over 2X lower than anyone similar to you in build size. _RCA_ - Odd man out situation ZAFT Corporation - You guys should know better than to sign up with 48 members. I'm not sure what the intent was here, but we are going to make adjustments to prevent this (see above). Clan Size breakdown War #9 War #10 X-Axis - Clan sizes 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!
Better lower the number devs, it's so obvious that people who sign up with high numbers are just interested in free mith... Thing is, you can't punish them or say they used an exploit, because its the number size you allow I like the lowering of player in one war!
Hi, any chance of being more specific with the accusations? I know my clan isn't doing anything wrong but any chance this is an accidental exploit that they have done by mistake?
Look at the "want mith earn it" thread. Huge exploit! Dunno if you've seen it or not as it has been flagged for dev review.
Kaw, does my rancor rage need to last till the end of the season or the reward distribution date? Because I am a bit concerned about it. Don't want to lose my rage just because season ended! thanks.
Let's be honest you won't do anything about the exploiting.. Probably hoping just to scare people off from doing it again.
haha, only RCA, Warlor and Rising Hawks didn't try get no-matchup war 9; btw these clans are pissed of no-match I think others obviously exploid system to get free mith ... especially clans who started first war; this situation and exploids will increased = rancors ends soon, so clans want use system to get something more btw clans in kaw know that to get matchup is best have 32 - 25 members,.....
@kaw_admin Strategy/Exploit: using BFE to get easy matches and increase easy Rancor levels. BFE not factored into matchup. players with "1 workshop and 1 guild a FULL BFE" gets matched up with players that started 10 minutes ago. solution: factor in BFE and lock changes at matchup Example Clan: ' W32.SQLExpVVorm ' ' Matches to look at and compare BFE: (last 4 wars) Worms vs DragonsRising Worms vs Dancing Soul Worms vs HIGH-VOLTAGE Worms vs Spartans Quick Look: Take a look at the bottom plunderer of each clan's history and tell me if those matches are fair by comparing BFE, BFA, and Stats ps. some call it exploit, some call it strategy. (possible thread debate about this, who knows?) tomato tomátoe.
@King_ME Oh, so we should just put all our hard earned equipment away, so those like you who didn't bother getting equipment are at no disadvantage?
