Kingdoms at War - 12/18/12 Update

Discussion in 'Past Events' started by admin, Dec 19, 2012.

  1. We will start posting regular updates to the forum to address all aspects surrounding Kingdoms at War. This way, everyone can know what we are up to, and there is a easy way for the community to voice their concerns in a public manner. Now, onto this week's topics:

    Estoc Trials Payouts
    --------------------------
    There has been a lot of questions and speculation about how payouts are calculated. If you check the help files, there is a formula posted there. As a quick summary, this is what you need to do to get the best results:

    * Make sure you cast your Mithril Spells and use your attack pots. The more you put in, the more you get out. Treat it as you making a bet on the war, the bigger your bet, the bigger your payout.

    * Make sure you cast your Mithril spells at the right time! I've seen several players complain about the payout, only to check their records and see that they cast them either too early, or too late. For best results, cast them 5 minutes before the war starts.

    * The way the system works, your payouts are only as good as what you and your opponent puts in. So if you are fighting an opponent that isn't investing much, it will affect your payout.

    Estoc Trials Start Times
    --------------------------
    War start times for individual wars will now vary by up to 15 minutes. You will see this reflected in your war timers. For example, before, everyone started at 6pm. Now, you may start anywhere between 6pm to 6:15pm. Activity lock is still 1 hour before the earliest war start time posted.

    Red Paladin Equipment Enchantment
    --------------------------
    You all hate the resets, we hear you. So here's what we are going to do. You already took the risk to war, so we are not going to ask you to take a risk again in enchantment. All future Red Paladin items will no longer fail. Every enchantment will succeed. To balance this, enchantment costs will go up. However, you are guaranteed that if you spend this cost, you will move up in level. This does not affect the existing pieces.

    This only applies to the Red Paladin equipment we will be releasing IN THE FUTURE :)

    Estoc Trials Times

  2. This is all good - as long as price hike is within reason for enchantments.
     
  3. I'm sorry. But I don't think its fair to the players trying to enchanted the equipment and who already lost a ton of mith in enchanting it. You should give us a choice to return all mith equipment, WITH ALL THE MITH RETURNED, and buy again.. if we want.
     
  4. Who already* ~Not trying ..
     
  5. Did you read Kobra? It doesn't apply to the already released equipment, so everything is "somewhat" fair. :)
     
  6. Yes, I did read it. Maybe you should read what I wrote and what the devs wrote again.
     
  7. I've been waiting for the update where the enchantments won't fail. Thank you Devs :-D

    Also don't forget to pick my name and description for the new crown. I have cookies for you if you pick mine 
     
  8. Oh… right Kobra.

    Even though I'd support that, I doubt devs. can… hadn't read your post with conscience :p
     
  9. Awesome, good thing that all those players that are spending their mithrils to ontn the new equipment and enchanting with 100% success, many people will be happy to know about this :) also the updates are very useful for players all over the world, I thank you kaw_admin for listening to all the feedback that the community have sent.

    Happy Kawing
     
  10. And to those that have spent their mithril in obtaining the new set of equipments and already enchanted them, well it's bad for them, for now, to those it's lucky got some :), anyways keep the updates coming kaw_admin ;)
     
  11. Need to stop at least the resets on normal equipment then devs. That is just as annoying and unfair to players. 3 resets to 0 in two weeks.
     
  12. Are you planning on compensating those that spent over a thousand mithril with such high rates of failure back? Or tough nuts?
     
  13. Also how do we cast oath of fealty if we don't want to be stripped after the correct time? It needs to be done before match up is made.
     
  14. The way i read it I think it's tough nuts.
     
  15. Thanks for more wars update is awesome!
