Season 5 Details (Coming August 10th)

[O_o_____Frog____o_0]

Im in favor of every person that has a ps alt , keeping it open every single war . Just keep all your pure spies open for hits. Every. Single. War.

Will prove what a genius idea this is

You want to deliberately wreck an event? Why don't you just cry in the corner and let those who enjoy indi have their fun?

I suggest the devs ban ps from participating if such nonsense happens. They won't be missed.

Dear Dev,

I heard people saying, S5 is all about one equip. If thats true, we are really not intrested. I jst dont want to waste xtl which is jst bought for this special ee war event.

Please increase rewards with gud sets of ee equip than those stupid pro equipts which new bies can possess too very easily.

Thanks and regards.

It's attitudes like this that is ruining kaw. "I refuse to war unless I get lots of shiny trinkets."

How about warring for the joy of warring?

I'm gonna war, win a few, lose a few, have some fun, and if ATA decides to give me a trinket, bonus.

Power creep is a big problem that has ruined many other video games.

It may be hard for us to realize, but the fewer equip upgrades we get, the better off the game is.

Having said that, these promos are too long, too frequent, and give out too strong equip.

Less is more, ATA.

I'm actually glad the rewards suck. If they were better, war quality would be worse as more EB builds join. I honestly think the quality of indy wars has been high lately because only those who enjoy war are doing them. Prepared for that to change come Monday.

I wonder if we need to sacrifice sleep for S5. Takes up more time than other stuff. Enjoy if you can afford.

Addressing some of the grievances seen in this thread.

Clan loyalty

S1 was long ago its to be expected.

We all know events rule n war is less an less a facet. Doesn't mean clan unity need suffer.

actually indies have increased clan loyalty as people stopped clan hopping looking for easy wins

there is only one clan properly warring now in ee's - everyone else stopped

EB Builds Participation

I'm actually glad the rewards suck. If they were better, war quality would be worse as more EB builds join. I honestly think the quality of indy wars has been high lately because only those who enjoy war are doing them. Prepared for that to change come Monday.

I hope as many EB builds as possible war. The warring community wants as many people as we can get, that’s how we get the better rewards, and more time from the devs. You can’t expect EB builds to convert and become part of this warring community without first allowing them to see why we enjoy warring it so much.

...kaw is trying to retain new players not put them off. Hey new player check out EE wars, except you cant take part for 24 months - cue new player deleting app. no new players = no future for kaw

@vix

My issue with the new player argument is that I am a relatively new player. I just got my first year under my belt. My very first war was the ee promo last summer where new players were invited to come out and try warring...we got a free xtal or something? Remember that?

My build sucked, I had one ally, and I had no clue what ss (wondered why people were taking screenshots), ko, sko, diving, etc meant.

You were incentivized to try individual wars, and look at you now, in love with warring. S5 is doing the exact same thing, giving incentives to those inexperienced players to try to war, just at a slightly larger scale.

Chance

I'm deleting my towers now since apparently S5 will be based on random luck…

Sorry mate, but that's a loser mentality. If your build is good for EE, you'll find yourself winning more than you lose. If it's crap, you'll lose more. Problem with some primal clans is that they expect to use exploits that let them win 90%. When that gets reduced to 70% , they cry and whine.

Towered, war builds still have a very good chance of being successful. If these people learned to WC and Track, that chance goes even higher.

eai

 

[Dolamite]

I'm sure the brackets will be tighter, meaning there will not be a huge spread stats wise between the number 1 player and the bottom player.

 

[Vlambo]

@SUF I agree with you that the more people warring the better for the community as a whole. That being said, I don't think that, the now annual?, war season is the place for people to be getting their feet wet.

I wish the devs did more to promote new people warring. For example, the full mith and xstal refund wars they had when indies were first released. Or simply having a week or two of preseason to give EB builds a taste and decide if they want to tower up for S5

 

[O_o_____Frog____o_0]

@vlambo

True. It is hard to deny that the quality of indie wars is much better now. We have got s nice set of serious warriors who have warred together many times iver the past few months.

 

[O_o_____Frog____o_0]

@suf

Of course the towered tanks are going to do well. The ones in trouble are the Hansels and ps1.

Hansels are like ants. If they are just one or two, you can easily squish them. If they are organized in swarms, they'll eat you alive.

Primals and rounds allowed the Hansels to form their swarms. Now that's gone.

@suf.

Love the post-I agree...mostly!

Promotions like the one last summer are awesome...and they work, but they are obviously rare.

Notice that summer promotion was in the offseason, which allowed interested people to learn and build before an actual EE season started.

My issue isn't with making EE events that appeal to non-warriors; I agree we need to do that.

I would like to see as many EE tourneys and promos as the devs can think of created in the off season, and I would happily participate.

I think you could make EE wars with all sorts of crazy rules to give eb builds a better chance to participate without being at a disadvantage-whatever, it's the offseason, keep it casual!

This said, I would prefer the actual warring season which happens so rarely to focus on actual EE wars, instead of making up for the fact that people spent too much looking for equipment to care about building for actual pvp.

Wait wait. so you suggest the devs ban an entire segment of kaw from war and youre telling me to go cry in my corner ?

Whos crying ?

Open ps alts are a major flaw in indy wars smart guy

Which is my exact point . The entire outocme of a war does not depend on how good either side does

It depends on if some turd wants to keep his ps open

But guess what? They are a part of the game .

Based on previous seasons of sh stacking and hansel crap-Those alts have every dann right to stay open an entire war - "devs allowed me to do it so why should i stop? Survival of the fittest right?"

 

[lIIl__Il_Anasazi_lI___IlII]

Actually, the more i think about it...

Devs have to do Indy only. it's not about fairly letting new players experience war, or making a statement about build/clan dominance.

It's about rewarding those who spent all that money on events.

Primals don't allow bfe, so all this nice new op equipment people paid for over the past year wont do them any good in a primal war setting.

Unless you reinvent the EE wheel, Indy is the best platform to allow those event lb players to most effectively use their loots. After all, what good is op equipment if you can't use it to your advantage once in a while. 

Dear Dev,

I heard people saying, S5 is all about one equip. If thats true, we are really not intrested. I jst dont want to waste xtl which is jst bought for this special ee war event.

Please increase rewards with gud sets of ee equip than those stupid pro equipts which new bies can possess too very easily.

Thanks and regards.

Are people really bothered about equip? I mean I do a indi everyday whether its a season or not I know many others do aswell I do because its fun. This is just like an event where people hit ebs non stop but whine about getting extra for what you do on the daily anyway.

Rewards will consist of Banners, Equipment, and Achievements

 

[[ATA]Grant]

Wow. Can't believe my eb equipt rewards ( barely logged on for it) overshadowed my season 1 rancor 50 "exclusive" reward (ring). Thanks devs! Try making ee equipt better (or at least different ) than eb promo rewards.

Why does everyone keep insisting that old gear should trump new gear indefinitely. It's illogical. It's called progress. It happens in every game. Eventually your amazing pwnzor gear becomes obselete as the game grows and changes.

Thank you for being understanding. Season 1 was over two years ago and so it only makes sense that equipment that comes out now is going to surpass it.

Season 5's primary reward will be a single equipment item. But this is no ordinary equipment. This is a special Season 5 Crown that comes with some pretty intense stats. Far better than other helmets in the game. There's also going to be unique banners. Stay tuned for full prize details before you decide it's not worth it.

 

[IllIll_BlackHandLegion_IllIlI]

How about we all just have fun and war our hearts out in s5.

 

[GodsHand]

All this complaining about clan unity and how clans are the foundation of the game. Allow me to remind you of a time where kaw had no clans all you could do was fight, this is right inline with that and imo a good step towards making ee fair for all again as it was originally intended. You seem to think towered builds were always around no ee season 2 and 3 made those a common sight. Get over it already, devs aren't perfect match ups are going to get screwed from time to time it happens. Back in the day strategy won wars not builds that's coming back hope your ready.
