@OnlyOneAboveAll same rewards no change at all

Kpatrix

No more info about scoring with less than 1 hour before supposed matchmaking starting ?

Amonthir

Fairly damn disheartening. Miike, DK, someone, why is it so hard to get information before something goes live? Why don't we have a scoring structure already listed? Overviews of the map nodes at each tiers? Information regarding the Detection Masteries?

Kpatrix

First one to respond I'll bet an energy refill it gets delayed.

Kpatrix

7 minutes till start supposedly

TheMask

Arent we supposed to get some details about AW...cause matchmaking has started

Thebgj01

It's a new season, aren't we supposed to start at the lowest tier? It says we're still in tier 7...where we left off on the last war.

If you could make the map just a touch bigger it would help with placement. Thanks!

rozeros

Disgusted with the aw, have to do 19 moves to clear path 1?! Is this for real?! People have responsibilities and jobs, and no frickin time to check the game every 30mins to check if the link is down. This is just mindblowing, cheap as f###

Milkthewhales

It's worse than I actually feared. This might do it for me.

Ebbtide

Does the Recovery Buff also enhance Guillotine's Phantasm ability against any defender with that node?

It does! Guillontine's Ability will invert Regen after all Modifiers have been applied.

Ebbtide

For things like Debuffs extensions, would Limbo be affected? Does Limbo count as a debuff?

@Kabam Miike can we please have the information regarding how many points/node esplored, /enemy killed in attack, /difensor diversity? We need to place defenses and plan the war, but we still don't know the specific points/achievement. Thanks!

Make it bigger? They need to make it smaller and give us another defender slot. This map is a lot worse than I thought and is going to change my plans up a lot.

Possible to edit this and put on the first post? Under the news and announcements section?

Thanks @Kabam Miike . So does this mean that exploring any tile, even without the node occupied or empty, grants 300 points? Do teleports grant 300 points as well since they require energy? Because the nodes are still 55 as before, so if you say that the total points for exploration remain equal and each node passes to 300, you must mean "tile" rather than node, do you?

Darkstar4387

I'm wondering who the unique defenders are .

Also i still don't like the map and think it's terrible so does my allaince, it's a pretty bad design and it's to spread out and looks like it's going to be a pain to navigate and waste energy

NevvB

Same rewards for a harder map?

Ask anyone and they would rather fight 2 thorns node than 2 minibosses. Seems like the only thing getting rewarded are your pockets $.$.
Don't even bring up slashed tires because most alliances don't even bother going to that node.

Super disappointed in the update.

Mollypocket629

I have a question about the new Recovery buff. How does that interact with champs like Magik and Rogue? I'm assuming that it doesn't, but it would be nice to know for sure.

Ready61

@Kabam Miike will 5 star champs give more diversity points then a 4 star champ?

Mcord11758

It's simple, don't spend an item, don't waste a unit. You do that, they will fix this disgrace. You spend away, we got what we deserved

DD2

It's kind of despicable how they protected Magik from AA by introducing so many poison and bleed immunity nodes. Archangel now can't use his neurotoxin to stop limbo.

RagamugginGunner

This is an absolute disaster. You should feel ashamed of yourselves KABAM.

First Impression:

New AW map is
1. Ugly (asymmetric)
2. Tedious (lots of camera movement)
3. Not looking Fun to place
4. Not looking Fun to play
5. Definitely not looking Fun to monitor or track, count tiles, predict score.

Defender Rating: 0.002 per PI

This means you can get more points for placing a 5* versus a 4*.

The point of this AW update was apparently to remove skill from the win equation and replace with largest most diverse roster wins. Therefore, to force people to grind the yet to be announced 5* arena, keep grinding 4* arena and/or buy more GM crystals.

What's the point to AW? Wait until war starts, ask other alliance what they have for diversity+defender points if they have more they will win if both alliances 100%. In that case, just do a no item war since who wins has already been decided before the first fight.

If majority do this then Kabam will see a drop in AW spending and fix this epic fail of an update.
