I think this is definitely a great idea! 100% support and best factor is getting newer players involved as well as having experienced players to coach and guide.
Sounds like a very positive step forward. Will be interested to see how this plays out. Great to see an inclusive system that everyone can hopefully enjoy.
Imo u need to rethink mith being an award. W small mith drops beside insane amounts of mith to buy then max mith equip its pretty ridiculous. Not to mention with these constant eb events everyone has equip that easily rivals if not beats years worth of wasted ee effort
Yup, we'd love to do something like this. We'll be starting the first LL Wars without it though as there are a bunch of things that need to happen before even the smallest changes like this can be made.
Maybe I didn't state this in my longest post on forums ever but what of the KO timer(s)? What type will be used do we know?
Drop a couple mith a war as reward. It would take a long time to rival big war clans and their fancy equipment. But still give new players the experience to get hooked on.
I wouldn't consider it a wasted effort if you earned competitive equipment. New equipment will always be coming out, but you don't need the best to compete. When we do include BFE into Lowland Wars, your EE equips will still have a place. As for War rewards, perhaps the solution is to find more uses for Mithril, as well as find a way to integrate Wars more elegantly into events so that being a successful War player can net you some of the best rewards in the game.
I am ambivalent regarding this: On the one hand, I believe war is the most enjoyable aspect of KaW (IMHO) and anything to introduce war to a larger player base is awesome. On the other hand, why does anyone need to strive to grow beyond LL BC if that is where wars max out? To hit EB's for better gold? OSW? Seems like a disincentive for a number of people to continue to grow. Furthermore, the troll problem will not really be solved with LL wars because, as noted in your initial post, you could get a LL ready build within days or a couple of weeks. I will participate because I hope that more people will enjoy war, but constantly warring with only the LL seems to be very limiting. I personally like warring against BC builds--clash of the titans and all that. Question for KaW_Admin: Is there a reason why a greater variety of wars cannot happen within the same time slot? Why can't people cast one spell for indy war or a different spell for clan war? Then you would be able to war even if your clan couldn't get a team, rather than sitting out another 6 hours.
So incase anyone was wondering prices: This only takes into account LL build complete(idk the minimum stats anyways). Seems like it will range from 324b with any of the three troop buildings(high attack, balanced, high def) up to 342b with all spy buildings. Towers are somewhere in the middle. So redoing your entire build on LL from scratch is under 350b it seems. (Not counting the refund from tearing down) very doable for a season.
One good thing I see about this is people will be less, forward, with building a large amount of towers due to their impact on plunder.
Difference being kaw that a 5k mith equip that costs thousands more mith to max takes months of warring to achieve. It takes 2 weeks to get an event equip that beats it. That said i think more uses for mith would b nice
Why not have a mix of both types of build wars ? LowLand and regular .... That way people that spent trillions upon trillions in gold to upgrade build into a decent war build just aren't completely screwed.
Ideally, Lowland Wars are a fun activity that virtually any player in the game can participate in. Again, that doesn't mean that additional growth won't net you benefits in this mode, it just means that the benefits you receive won't be so exceptionally huge that it scares smaller players off and fragments the player base, making the overall experience less fun for everyone. There will still be plenty of reasons to grow. BFA is not included, and when we do integrate it, we will do it intelligently. If we make a mistake, and it ruins everything, then we'll change it.
