Kingdoms at War - 01/15/13 Update

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, Jan 15, 2013.

  1. The mith payout should be tied to mith use, this is war, not an eb!!! If you can't respect your clan enough to mith up with the rest, you don't deserve mith. If you want something for nothing, keep squatting on ebs.
     
  2. Nate badges? I did bate and never got one. Will I be getting one?
     
  3. Hey kaw_admin.....about that silencing rule. How goes the perv complaints you're dealing with? Seems a 24 hour silence would have been REALLY useful huh? Chicken
     
  4. Oh oh! Pick me, I know what to talk about! :mrgreen:

    The new silencing rule..I like the fact that you changed the silencing rules, but I don't really understand how you came up with the idea. Someone who has posted in world chat, and or a player's wall (who may very well be a child or young adult); has the right to still talk in clan chat after perhaps posting extreme profanity (by bypassing)? Yes, speaking in clan chat is the universal way of communication, and is required in some clans. However, breaking the Terms of Use and receiving a consequence from it is their fault, and they should face the penalty.

    So my thought and idea.
    Welcome to Kingdoms at War, please do the tutorial etc etc etc...Now that you have finished the tutorial, please check our Terms of Use policy to prevent breaking any rules, enjoy! First off, maybe a little note would be nice to give players a warning that the Terms of Use is an easy access to get to and it is advised that a player were to read it.

    You have been silenced for 24 hours (for whatever), this is your first (or second) infraction, all communication has been disabled except for PRIVATE MESSAGING. Okay, so my thought on this was, why? Why should a player being silenced for bypassing dropping the F Bomb, profanity, etc...be able to still talk in clan chat, privavte messaging doesn't have a filter..so I see why they should be able to at least use that. Clan chat is a priveledge and something almost every active user uses daily, this has a profanity filter and may or may not be allowed to bypass.

    Proposal,
    So here I am, a bypasser. *Bypasses all over world chat* 'Meisha: Bob, shut up. *Silences*. I am now silenced and enable to communicate at all except for private messaging for 24 hours for this is my first infraction. So what's the BIG idea? Pretty much the same thing, exceptNO CLAN CHAT. The first two infractions, the user will not be able to communicate on, any player's wall, world chat, clan chat, nor ally chat; only communication will be private chat for 24 hours. After the user has received their third silence, they will no longer be able communicate in anyway including private messaging. The third silence is final. Why should someone who has no understanding of the Terms of Use, or someone intending to break it have the right to still speak to all their best friends? In my opinion they do not deserve it at all.

    Hey mang, I have been silenced forevaahhh, how can I silence myself? Duh, email support. When ATA receives an email a small quiz should be given to make sure the user actually has understanding of the Terms of Use.

    I am not saying ATA is doing anything wrong, I am not complaining. I am giving my opinion on this new silencing rule. What's the point of silencing users (once, twice or permanently) if they can still talk away? If player's aren't advertising they aren't using their world chat speakers, so why even have moderators? Get rid of them all then, pish posh. The whole point of silencing someone is because they broke the ToU, and need to be punished. Is ATA even punishing them anymore? Hardly.

    I support disabling silenced users not being allowed to user clan chat. For the good of the game, and users. You get silenced and ticked off you can't talk? Go read the Terms of Use and not be a hot head. This game has a user rating for a reason, some creep saying profanity isn't something a parent wants their kid playing.

    Please take this, and other players supporting this into strong consideration for this effects Kingdoms at War greatly.
     
  5. Slayerbob:
    I've been a fan of having different penalties for different infractions. I don't like a "one size fits all" policy.

    The kid who's iPod glitches and causes wc spam should have access to cc and PM features.

    The person who intentionally bypasses in wc or player walls needs all Chanel's of communication closed off, as they are vandalizing the game.

    Pervers also don't need access to cc.

    Having 2 types of silences (a partial one for minor offenses and a full one for larger offenses) seems like horse sense to me

  6. I hear people complain of lag only when they get kod by a large group. U won't self ko anyway when 7 peeps attk u at once. There may be a delay reflecting your 0 troops but its irrelevant b/c would be dead regardless of a quicker update.
     
  7. I have the following suggestions to address the lag issue, since this is a complex problem with far too many factors that cannot be fully resolved. Why don't you add a feature that allows players the option to quickly(jump) come out of KO with some partial troop regen (40-50%) at a substantial cost (1-2 Mith). So players can sit out the full 15 minutes of KO or choose to quick regen and come back to retaliate from KO. This makes the war far more interesting and at least gives those suffering from the inherent lag an opportunity to retaliate. This also alleviated the "new Turtle" problem and the bore factor of having the other side just sit on you the whole war by timing your KOs
     
  8. Suggestion: Let people have 1 minute after they come back from KO to pin themselves again. Then that may reduce a lot of lag complaints (when the server takes time to check if you are back up or not).
     
  9. I rather like the idea of a come out of ko window. If its between 10-20 minutes, randomly chosen by the servers, only the person in ko knows when they will come out. As they hit the war roster trying to find an open target, it gives them the time left in ko. advantage: person in ko. disadvantage: time keepers. It may eliviate the turtle war you all desired to get rid. Just a thought.
    thx
     
  10. A common occurrence during the last war was that my phone buzzed indicating incoming hits and then KAW crashed. This happened every time coming out of knockout during the last war. For a few hours after the war my phone crashed every time I got a p.m. or notification from news.
     
  11. I like the EE wars. It may suck when you get sat on, but that's what those 2 xtals are for ^_^
     
  12. The LAG is still TOTAL CRAP in all the wars!!!!! You know it we know it!!! Maybe the games grown bigger than your servers!!!! How about waring in sections 1-500 500-1k etc! To let your systems cope!???
     
  13. I can't complain about current war times as My time zone is PST . Two things that I think would be beneficial are:

    1. Clan owner should be allowed to appoint a "co-owner" that has all of the same abilities as the owner.

    2. Owners should have the power to cast the veil on their own members.
    This would allow medium to smaller clans like mine to actually have a chance at EE wars while not depleting their clan by kicking members who didn't get the memo about war.

    It's obvious that we need more clans warring to have better matchups, and so many people leave (like I do) to war with different clans because their current clan isn't ready for war!

    I would like kaw_admin feedback at least on the owner being able to cast veil on his/her members.
    Thanks!
     
  14. They should dispense with veil of EVASION, and change it to Mantle Of War (OPT IN)
     
  15. Pattus... I like your style! That is a great idea. I am sure devs could do that. If that was in place, clans my size could war and be competitive 
     
  16. I agree with everything Asthma just said!!!
     
  17. Just an idea but if the clan matchup is off by let's say 25% in favor of one clan then why even match them up? I'd rather get a message stating that no clan of equal size/strength could be matched against your clan. And keep my EE! Just a thought.
     
  18. Outstanding.
     
  19. Is there any plan to bring 2hrs war...that will b good to get active for 2hrs straight away active rather 4hrs...
