The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
15.0 Alliance Wars Update Discussion Thread

Example: it's between you and another alliance mate against a node (assuming you both could kill it). You take out the node (therefore increasing your MVP "rating") after they did 80% of the work. But you get more gold rewards (again, I know gold is minor aw reward). Maybe your alliance mate won't be upset that you got more rewards for just coming in for the final kill. ("Hey man, I was going to take that out now you've taken the rewards I should have earned" & "Joe is always just coming in for the final kills hogging the MVP bonuses, let's kick him cause he's greedy")
Just unclear of how the new MVP and MVP works as related to AW gold
Now about those defender kills....
As for the more mini bosses, I guess I would have to see how the map actually looks before judging.
Finally, as it was stated before, they are also adding in a bonus for unique defenders, meaning that if you do vs some asshat team that has 5 Magik's to place on every mini boss node, they will not get as many points as a team that varies it defenders.
It's tough being a business like Kabam. You can never make people happy. :V
As for everyone complaining about that game requiring more money from the whales. I say let them milk the whales, they gotta run out at sometime and it isn't affecting me any :P
1. AW Defender diversity. I think this is a issue. How about limiting the amount of specific champs per BG (2 Magiks per BG, 3x2 = 6).
As stated the diversity solution gives meaningless points. You add more minibosses and force people to go down the toughest paths (new center). I can't wait to see 9 nodes with 300% Health, kinetic reactor, immune, etc...) I know we have the new 3 minute Loyalty boosts to help.
2. Mike says he wants to help "Relieve the feeling of defeat".
How about a quit war button. Release my champs. That would help relieve my defeat. You can even cut the losers reward for giving up and give it to the Victor.
Kabam solution: Eliminate defender kills. GREAT. Now I can die as many times as possible with item restrictions and not feel guilty about it.
This logic helps me understand why we are forced to buy team revives. Now all my champs can die together. I was losing sleep at night knowing one guy was alive with 1650 health while my other two died in peace!!
You're joking, right? Defender kills is the ONLY thing that decides wars in T1 where both alliances 100% the map 99% of the time
1.5x sized maps with 60 minute timers should take about the same time to run as the current maps because you have 50% more nodes to move through but you are getting energy 50% faster. But with the change to fewer linked nodes AW maps should, on average, take less time to run than they do now (because less waiting for a buff node to clear).
That combined with the addition of portals is likely to allow players to execute war attacks at a quicker pace than they are currently doing now, or allow for more flexible schedules than they currently allow now. But we will have to see the map to be sure.
LOL!
Kabam can twist whatever you want, but they cannot change the fact. The community is not happy with it.
Post 12.0 lesson is still fresh. And Kabam may need to hire a good (better) damage control manager.
Wow u say the map is 1.5x bigger with the same amount of defenders??? So what did the team do they magnified the map?? So we have to do more scrolling???
There is already a thread for discussion of Alliance Wars, and that is the one you are currently in. Our forum rules clearly state that creating multiple threads to discuss one topic is not allowed. This is why your poll was shut down and deleted.
I found the poll quite insightful. Too bad it went against your forum rules. Unfortunately, with how your forum is constructed, it isn't possible to embed a poll within an existing thread (that I'm aware of anyways). Hate that we're punished for that too, but ah well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honestly I don't see that as a problem though and it must've been making them a fortune in potion sales. We won't know for sure how new wars will be played out until the new nodes/metrics are released. If 100% clearing the whole map is doable (of course it will be) then wars will come down to champion diversity. One scenario that could happen is that both teams will be able to 100% clear and forced to make champion diversity their #1 priority, so whoever has the most unique champions (150 defenders, less than 120 released) will win that war. In this golden scenario, that will be AMAZING because we won't be seeing stacked Dormammus and instead 100% clears will be EASIER because we will have to face every single champ easy or hard.
