Has anyone brought up the suggestion to have each AW Season be a specific number of Wars that take place throughout the specific time frame? I feel like that would solve the issue that MMXIV encountered and would solve many other issues where other alliances weren't able to find a match and ended up with 2 matches during a week instead of 3.

Any indication on how long this hiatus will be?

Where are these sentinels and bosses anyway? Do they come next season? I bet this means we pay up for the next seasons rewards. With so many new champs at higher tiers coming in, atleast add a lot of Gold to AQ. That would numb the hole a bit before sticks are shoved.

I know it is 5 o'clock somewhere, but this is the thread for alliance wars, not the thread for alliance quests.

Flag me if you want, the truth is if you want to win in platinum 1 or master, it’s all about who has the best pilot.

Gold bracket is broken. I understand kabam wants people to strive for platinum and the rewards must be significantly more, but the fact that finishing top 100 in gold will get the same rewards as someone who finish 1000 its just plain wrong.

The competition at the top of gold bracket can be as challenging as platinum. Definitely way more competitive than the lower end of the gold bracket. Yet, we get the same rewards.

If this doesn’t get fix, might as well just quit trying to competitively win mid season if i know platinum is getting out of reach.

Whole purpose of AW seasons is for alliances to try their hardest all the time to win, and while I agree the season idea was pretty good, this gold bracket has to be fix so alliances still have incentive to try to keep wining. Or else we rather just lose a few and compete at a lower tier, use less items, and still get same rewards... etc

Can we change the multiplier in t4 from 4.5 to 5? This will actually give people in gold1 top 100 a chance to compete in platinum 3 in season 2.

We’ve been stuck in the same place pretty much all season and win 6-7 every 10 wars.

I’ve brought it up before but losing in t3 is too close in points to winning in t4. Its been fighting an uphill battle all season because the multipliers don’t scale appropriately.

If they decide to change multipliers, they should probably change all the multipliers above tier 4. Instead of increasing tier 4 from 4.5 to 5 which closes the gap between tier 4 and 3 but increases the gap between 5 and 4 (although it does come close to proportionately splitting the gap) it would be better to keep the multiplier for tier 4 at 4.5 and decrease the multiplers for tier 1 through 3 to 7x, 6x, and 5x. That would make all the multiplier gaps between tiers 1 through 4 more consistent with the multiplier gaps everywhere else.

Yeah that works...something anything to even it out and make it possible to move up

I was just thinking about this the other day. As an alliance that's dangerously close to the bottom of Plat 3 but has been clawing our way tooth and nail (including matching against an alliance using mods) to stay there, the thought of dropping down to gold is disappointing of course, but it's really bad knowing an alliance much lower than us all around 1000 places down gets the same rewards as us who's been fighting MUCH harder fights the last couple months.

I know kabam will be tweaking stuff after season end, and I truly hope that's one of them. Gold #1000 should NOT be getting the same rewards as Gold #1.

No, this has been clearly stated multiple times on AW season threads.

Everyone is fighting just as hard as you guys, we're just not spending as much money to be as high. Get off your high horse. If you're in that tier you get the same as everyone else. Especially the ones fighting "tooth and nail" to get into gold 1.

I’ll just keep addressing this I guess. So, if a platinum 1 skilled alliance wants to stay in platinum 1, they have to pilot with their best guy(s). If they don’t, they lose, not because the other alliance is more skilled, which would be fine, but because they are clearing everything without dying on your entire board with their best player moving everyone.
This has a detrimental effect on alliance wars, not the most skilled alliance wins, but the best pilot.

@Kabam Miike this is the end of the season 1 is there any time frame how many days or weeks we can get the rewards of the season 1.

Yea I highly doubt guys are fighting 5* R5 bosses with 340k health at the bottom portion of gold 1.

In fact the very idea that wars around #1 Gold are tier 3 whereas at the bottom its tier 6/7/8 means our wars are objectively more difficult.

@Kabam Miike Is there a system in place to stop officers kicking the whole alliance just before the season ends? I can answer that for you... No.

No, but there’s a system in place to stop so many alliance jumpers from ruining it for 29 other people.

You actually eliminated AW diversity and now most of the wars are fights against NC, Hyperion, Spiders and a couple of other champions. Shameful! And then you have the courage to talk about Blade to be nerfed ... Sorry for my English

@Kabam Miike when will season 1 rewards come out?

And, if not if the next day or two, do I need to remain in my alliance until such rewards are sent out?

Current AW boss is a maxed 5* Modok. Anything else you want to be wrong about?
Your arguing about game mechanics at this point, you get matched against alliance's of a similar level, looking you up in game you have a 4/55 5* Void and 4/55 5* Blade. Your hardly struggling for talent. If my alliance fights yours you'd melt through us like butter but the alliances we're fighting are a similar level to us so it's skill and diversity points that are deciding all of our wars. Same with you guys, want to stay in the higher level, get better or use in game boosts. Your fighting people of the same skill level and so are we, so everyone is fighting just as hard to get the rewards.

Is kabam aware of the amount of collusion that is going on from this event. I do like the idea and rewards but the small increment of alliances achieving these rewards and the rarity of them has caused a lot of cheating to go on. It has made the game more stressful than enjoyable. I truly hope Kabam finds a way to stop the cheating that's going on. Unfortunately, the cheaters that I have personally witnessed are getting rewarded for their efforts and will continue to do so unless something changes.
