hello me again For some of the people still talking about Lag. You have to understand what is going on. If you are coming out of KO someone (most likely the player who KO you) knows when your going to wake up. so 1 min till they tell everyone (that is free) to start attacking you. this will lower your odds to self KO. because as soon as you wake up their is 9 players standing around you waiting to kick you teeth in. :? It is all about tactics. The only thing you can to do it increase your odds of self Ko is. Have a set target you know you will lose too and steal from them. If your are being pinned they will attack your troops first because they want to make money. so you will (more then likely) have spy's left and stealing waste the most troops. their nothing the Dev's can do unless they change how you come out of KO. :shock: SYSTEM WAR and Mithril Ok this one is a touchy. :? I know everyone want the new equipment and some people think it is unfair you can only get Mithril from EE. What i think is unfair is players starting a fake war. Where one side dose nothing and the other dose the minimum. :twisted: (cheating almost) This equipment should be for the hard working players willing to fight for it. :!: some of the lb players that have all the equipment already. they have it because they planned ahead. Last year when Mithril was on sale they bought the max everyday and saved it. not wasting it on colored name, ebs, and small osw's. :geek: With the Addison of 2 hours wars i hope that will solve the timing problem and more people clan war without waking up early or staying up late. :geek: EE MATCHING Their is always going to be some mismatches with the LB clans fighting in a OSW for the last Mouth this was the time for newer clan and smaller people to fight in the war. With the ASW being added to the mix i'm sure that time will be coming to a end and you will see more high ranking clan Waring. It is still a work in progress :mrgreen: Catering to the LB player. :geek: Don't forget with the low cost of T4 ,added EB, all the equipment (other then War stuff) Bronze bars(way to hide money) and drop in Alchemist tab was all catering to the New players. :geek: Dev's you are doing a Great job. keep making the game fun and more interesting. i look forward to Waring for a chance to be apart of the ASW. By doing the ASW this way im sure you will have alot of new face in the ASW this year. Brains ~Zombie
So many problems-where to start. Estoc wars were primarily put in place to promote more clan cohesiveness. But now there are more clans than ever. The only wars that have ever run well have been tournaments that we signed up for individually not as a clan. Solution: 1) Eliminate all clans ranked 1000 strength or less -give owners $$ back. 2) New clan inception price $250 Billion gold. 3) Run Estoc Tournaments every Friday,Saturday, Sunday. Based on 24 hour window with start times every 2 hours. 4 hours in duration. If you win you get gold, mith, and estoc edge that travels wherever you go. 4) war size will be determined by the amount that signs up for specific time. Minimum 20 and Max 75. No forfeit allowed. 5) You are allowed to purchase 5 Mith per day no matter how many you have. Rewards everyday users. What's in place right now is not working.
You can see each war, the top performers are listed in the war history. I'm assuming this will be the way they will rank. Can't wait!
Were they? I can see that Estoc's Edge would invite someone to stay put for a while, but I thing EE wars primarily put in to revive the declined system war usage. And also creating a subtle increase in xtal sales. Meaning, non-EE wars? I'm not being insulting, but perhaps it is the leadership or lack thereof. I have been in a few Estoc wars, and can attest to the value of leaders, trackers, and overall clan coordination. You're nuts. There are far too many clans that don't war. They shouldn't be eliminated due to EE developments. Now some this I like. The availability to continuously war throughout the weekend could generate "war weekends" for clans to roll with the current rosters. Not a bad idea... Estoc's Edge that doesn't diminish when you leave the clan I don't like. Sorry. If you want to war, being in a clan with your brothers and sisters fighting, and reaping the benefits of your edge should carry a tie to your home. Don't like it, find a new home. I hate clan hopping people who only look for mith payouts. I'd like to see the new parameters being worked on now, devs had worked all weekend on a new matchup system. But, forfeit should always be an option after 2 hours for a 4 hour war. If a 2 hour war is enabled, I wouldn't disagree with the no forfeit option. No support. Mith should be earned by war only IMO. It's a war game, warring players should get a benefit. What is in place now is definitely working somewhat, the involvement is up, and they are actively tweaking everything. I like it.
The best way to have a good matchup is to have same number of player. If clan A has 38 ppl and clan B has 42 ppl, at matchup the system should " Auto Veil " 4 players from clan B and give this 4 player 30 miths as compensation. That way every body happy
I'm Still against Mith not being earned in regular wars. EE wars are for people who don't grow anymore, have every EB item, have no life because true war is practically a 24/7 job. For us small players it would be impossible to earn the cheapest equipment. Not to mention you LOOSE myth if you LOOSE an EE war.
Devs need to get advice from small players too not players who have either bought their way to hlbc or had time on their hands to actually war and such
Interesting. Compensation for being eliminated is a slippery slope. I have been rewarded 129 mith for a war I was in. Do I get 129? Or only 30, and cannot help my clan? See how I would translate that into being "screwed"? I don't see that working.
I hear ya. I've put some thought into that, and realize that mwars are to blame. Too many clans that abuse the system, even though its hardly worth it. It's really not. People are so concentrated on growing, that they don't realize that this is a war game. You need to fight to justify gaining equipment and such. You wanna have a "life" and not put time into something, don't cry because the mechanics aren't geared to what you want. They should be geared to cater to the most active players and spenders.
Don't leave out the players that haven't bought their way to HLBC. Earning their build. I understand your frustration. You don't like that those with money can buy their way, but there are plenty of 2-3 year players that haven't done that. A new players feedback is critical to new growth, so don't think they don't listen. But as far as those that "had time on their hands to actually war and such".... Where do you think the respect given comes from? Not spending tons of time in game?
Basically players who chose not to Estoc War because of OSW's will be disadvantaged for ASW eligibility?
Please Read: There REALLY needs to be an "auto veil" to even up member size in clans!!!!!!!!! Clan A with 45 members has too strong an advantage over clan B with 35. Those 10 players equal the equivalent of 4 full unloads per player in 4 hours plus 2 xstalls per player -- That's like a 60 xstall Advantage for Clan A in a member to member matchup!!!!!!!! Address this with Auto Veil by "veiling" members in larger clan and giving them automatic EE bump plus 25 mith. They can still help their clan by calling targets and tracking. This solution would result in MUCH better matchups!
ive been playing for years and im not able to compete with the lb who have used the old ways of growing (such as pw) to become bc. now that that has gone all it seems is that all the new ways for fast growth are being taken away and al new additions benefit those players first. its not that that should be invalid but the ways in which they got to bc should not be taken from the rest of kaw.
Dev's, the quote: "The other team has 1/2/3 more members than our clan! This is unfair!" Putting such a small number there sounds stupid on your part and makes it seem like we expect you to make perfect matches. We don't! What you should have said is this "The other team has 10/20/30 more members than our clan! This is unfair!" Let me be clear. We enjoy matches that are + or - 5 accounts. Those are good matches. You should make that a hard and fast rule with few exceptions when doing the matchups... It is the 10 or 15 more members that is usually a slaughter. I hope your matchup are better, then maybe more people will spend the time to war again. Good job on increasing mith for the 4 hour wars. 2 hour wars will be nice. And put mith back in system wars, small but something. And please listen and use your best resource for making up new changes or enhancements to the game. That is your existing customer base that has been here for years. Good luck.
