Kabam already has a solution to the Old vs New War issue

I think it’s a pretty well established fact that the vast majority of players prefer the new system of war . It’s easier , far less time consuming and just far more enjoyable . But there is a minority of more hardcore players who love the old system and they should be taken in account as well. So what’s the solution ? Easy we already have it in Battlegrounds with the Gladiator Circuit . Just make it so every alliance to reaches Plat 4 automatically shifts back to the old style war . I am pretty sure that most of the hardcore players who enjoy this type of war are already in the top 500 alliances or can find their way there anyway . Both sides are happy

Not exactly. Many plat+ alliances enjoyed not having to plan multiple hours for each war.

That can easily be determined by the survey . You can raise the bar to Plat 1 or even to Masters if the people who enjoyed the old type of war truly are an extreme minority

The issue is you would have to determine it by war rating, not placement because plat 4 isn't something that is decided until a week into the season. The other issue is what happens when you match someone who is in the old format and you're in the new format. Wouldn't be that fun to deal with for the edge cases.

I'd prefer just having 2 separate systems that you have to choose before the season starts and have the relaxed version of the new format for less rewards and have the old system with the better rewards for the more hard-core competitive people.

I’ve only heard low tier players so it’s good most high tier players don’t like it. It’s just not as fun if I wanted to blitz through fights in 1-2 min I’d just go do a random quest that has damage boosting nodes leave war the way it always was

Yeah man the new war system is just too boring, as such, I will go back to my old mode where I will triple boost every fight for that ivigerating, galvanizing, skillful experience that I look for in my mobile game.

I'm plat-2 and I like new war, why? Because there's something in the nodes which actually benefits attackers.

In old war, it's literally, "you can't do this, you can't stun, you can't hit, you must do this, you did that? Lol random damage"

Like stop 🙏

That sounds good as well . Whatever is easier to code

One of the problems with the old war format when it comes to planning and how time-consuming it was had to do with energy and prefights. Honestly, some alliances or officers made things more complicated than they needed to be. But if energy was increased so players could do all their fights in one go like with the new map and if players had access to prefight options or hacks so no one had to wait on others, the old format would be way less time-consuming for everyone.

My personal wishlist would be to have the season be the single fight per person wars (with some sort of change to allow for a backup if someone is traveling or whatever), then at the end of the season the top 20 (or 24 or whatever number makes sense) allys from that season do the 50 defender wars NCAA tournament style over the 2 week offseason, seeded by the season results.
That way those who profess to love the planning and stress will only be able to match against each other. No ally could sneak into the top spots without matching other top allys. But also for them every death would matter during the season to get them into the top 20 and the right seeding.
And then those of us that hate everything about wars won't have to deal with all that stress and annoyance and can just enjoy our medium rewards in P3.
