Estoc Trials - Week 7 - War #1 - General Update

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, May 14, 2013.

  1. 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 #1

    Signups: 46
    No Match: 4

    Wolves Reborn - Try increasing your Build Stats for the next war, you will be more likely to get a match then.

    Rising Hawks - Your BFA was way too high to match you against clans of similar strength and size. If you're serious about warring, please lower it.

    ZAFT Corporation - (moar memhers) Your strength was good, but your BFA was about 4-5 times too high to match you to clans of similar size. Most other clans that sign up with those stats have more members than what you signed up with. Maybe you could try increasing your member size by 2 next time.

    Battlegrounds - Odd man out here, but we suggest cutting your BFA by about half to have better chances of finding a match next round.

    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!
     
  2. Hey devs, you should give those members in clans that have a no match 1/2 of the current week's rancor levels that those that would war would have won.
     
  3. ^yeah that make sense and give worms some rancor for all our no matches :mrgreen:
     
  4. Devs - I've now had more than half of the wars I've signed up for result in no matches last 2 weeks!! 5 or 6 - that really stings especially when rancor goes up 3 and now 4, and that most no matches were odd man out
     
  5. Yes rising hawks stop playing around and get serious about the wars. I mean come on your only ranked #2 on prestige.

    Zaft you were told to lower members but now their too low for next war increase membership by 2 3/4 people and reduce bfa by atleast 4.4785873% if your ever gona get a match.

  7. Great matching REALY? all they done over weeks of ewars is get 20-30 clans to tweek their builds so everyone fits into a cookie cutter set of variables instead of fixing this whole system.

    Should give props to clans for changing to fit dev crappy match making system not the other waay around
     
  8.  Support! Clans shouldn't have to change! This is my take on EE: Max was set at 40.. yet it was obviously wrong to have 36-38... Damn cheaters! You can't have that type of barcode.. You can have this one though.. We are monitoring your BFA but will make 45 bil allies drop after match.. No refunds! We fixed tower exploit.. Now you up it to 75% for unstoppable rather than 45% You can roster jump and change names all you want ( If it doesn't fit a phone screen it's not cool ) we don't count BFE until after match but it's cool though, y'all can figure it out. If you have any issues, you are more than welcome to email support.. You know those people who take like 10 emails for a device change.. I'm totally sure they will fix anything. Don't let us catch you warring outside our small circle that we placed in this large box.. We will monitor and punish you!! ---- Makes it a really fun game to play!

    BFE should be considered in matching. New players that started 10 minutes ago can get matched with someone who downsized builds with FULL BFE. Not including BFE into these matches puts all other clans at a an extreme disadvantage that no strategy could ever overcome. It's creates a mismatch of up to and over 1000x an opponents strength creating the "superman" factor. This type of mismatching has been going on the past 6 weeks and I feel that the system is unfair to all clans that have had to deal with this issue both past and present.

    on another note, as a clan leader attempting to work with numbers in your suggested size limits is difficult when an admin has signed up with "x" number of people and the one person that casts at the last second throws off numbers. I suggest that (a) casting is locked when an admin has signed up and members can't add themselves to the roster, an an admin must withdraw for those players to cast the wave. (b) we need a way to cancel the "wave of conflict" because if a member decides they cannot war at the last minute due to emergencies or other factors, they are forced to leave and are penalized by losing a level of Estocs Edge.
     
  10. Simply put give us back the most fair and.fun system we use to have.

    Total random match ups
    No member limits

    Let the games begin lol
     
  11. How does this matchup???

    their totals:
    atk 80,268,526 / def 74,718,857 / spyatk 38,911,100 / spydef 66,215,924 / SSD 27,304,824

    our totals:
    atk 60,589,384 / def 55,098,878 / spyatk 32,306,660 / spydef 52,145,888 / SSD 19,839,228

    Given, even it is was closer this is a great war clan we were up against and we would need to be on our a game to beat them but come on... give us a little bit of chance.
     
  12. King_ME, were you dropped as an infant? :lol: A brand new player who started 10minutes ago? :lol:

    OMG. A player at that size would hardly know what a building is, and as far unlikely to stumble into a clan that meets the requirements for the rancor war and happen to come across the wave of conflict.

    Even if that magically happened, it wouldn't matter. Their stats are so minuscule that they wouldn't affect the match up, their teams' strength would still be around the same strength as the enemy. If they're around the same strength, they're just as likely to be rocking some bfe and have the "superman"(wtf is this) effect. Making it a 50/50 chance on who has the better equipment.

    Durrr.
     
  13. Oh, and you should really work on getting your supporters up. Every thread, again and again, it's King_ME, MrCoffee, katniss, giskard, and the always random person who says "Oh my Gee brah. I full heartedly stand on equal terms with thiz guy man. Bfe sucks because my bfe sucks"

    :lol: Reminds me of the people who say "School is stupid!" :lol: Really? Is school stupid, or are you stupid?
     
  14. My BFE is awesome. I just don't agree with constant warnings and threats to everyone. It's the equivalent of buying a child a swing set and telling them if you catch them going down the slide you will beat them. 
     
  15. lets repost this...
    for public.... :roll: :lol:


    so the hard-workers.. addict players.. old players.. strategic players are now being bombarded on complains by the guys who don't even try doing, t5, t6, t7, t8 ebs just to get their equips ready for war..
    :lol:
    :lol:
    :lol:

    and maywaether is keep on complaining so he will not be matched up with pacquiao..
    :lol:
    :lol:
    :lol:

    WHAT IF NBA HAS THIS RULES YOUR TALKING: (1990'S ERA)
    CHICAGO BULLS; NO MATCH.. FULLY EQUIP BECAUSE YOU HAVE JORDAN AND YOUR COACH IS VERY GOOD
    LAKERS; NO MATCH.. YOU MIGHT BE MATCHED UP WITH BULLS BUT YOUR THE ODD MANS OUT..
    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


    THIS IS A GAME.. PLAYERS MUST THE 1 TO IMPROVE..
    RISING HAWKS KEEPS ON IMPROVING THAT'S WHY THEY KEEP ON WINNING.. :twisted:

    SO SINCE YOU CANT DO IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR SELF YOU KEEP ON COMPLAINING..
    OUTNUMBERED = COMPLAIN
    BFA = COMPLAIN
    GH = COMPLAIN
    TOWERED = COMPLAIN
    BFE = COMPLAIN
    NO MATCH = COMPLAIN
    LOST AND LOST AND LOST = COMPLAIN

    OR IT IS JUST MAKING STRATEGY AND IMPROVEMENTS

    MAY WE SAY NOW;
    COMPLAIN = NOOBS

    THINK WISELY :idea:
    :mrgreen:


    to add up; in world war 1 & 2 Germany and Japan don't complain because America has larger alliances
    but look at them now; they are the titans in terms of technology.. and they are not complaining..
    :lol:
     
  16. You make roster size some more static. Why dont do it with BFA? No bonus from BFA in wars or static bonus from BFA in wars.
     
  17. lol all these people with huge bfe are panicing the dev might include it. I betting worms are email bombing them as we speak to not let them take away their advantage soooo sad
     
  18. Could someone explain how a 110k ATK GH with 20b in allies can get a successful ATK on my 3mil ATK def hybrid build? I have towers and bfa through the roof for my size plus reasonably decent bfe.

    Facts and opinions welcomed  Ty
