Tell me how to get a Thanos, Kang, OG Vision and OG Deadpool????
None of the alliances "burn out" boosts or revives, thats good for us but really really bad for u guys.
I agree this setup is completely stupid. Deciding wars on defender rating/Diversity rather than skill. So instead of rewarding guys who took down stronger opponents , kabam punishes us for our skill. Lol
Along with unskilled nodes, they also removed all the good ones like unblockable spl, stun immune, bleed/poison nodes. Before every node used to have atleast 150% attack/Health boost, now its plain 75% lol. For high tier allys this is ridiculously easy to clear. 100% seems no biggie now, wars will be decided by defender rating how lame is that. Its not just time consuming with portals and the way links are setup we need to keep checking war every few hours to move so others dont get stuck, its like map6 now.
While I'm not arguing the system is broken, you also got demolished on kills. So let's gain a little perspective here. You would have lost with the old system too.
Kabam does need to clarify exactly how scoring works, because their current explanation doesn't add up.
That or scrap this entire thing.
Oh and can we talk about the energy requirements? This was like another aq....the rewards hardly reward the time and effort needed for this garbage.
Those aren't kills. They're the # of diverse champions.
I don't believe I missed it but why are these not being addressed or fixed. block/parry, freezing in middle of combo or freezing not able to evade, blocks getting punched through, visions specials not doing damage. Pretty much everything that was broke last update. I could care less about anything new if the current things are constantly broken.
They generate revenue
Love how they had a gold issue today and they were able to fix that pretty quick because it puts them at a disadvantage but when the reverse is true we just have to suck it up.
The kills aren't shown in his SS
To be fair knowing that DK aren't a penalty now changes how someone may fight.
Wrong
It's gonna be a gamble every time...
Alliance A: 150 champs placed
Alliance B: 0 champs placed
Winner, if full explore: Alliance B
Alliance A: 0 champs placed
Alliance B: 1 champ placed
Winner: Alliance B
A will get 150 for attacker kills
B will get 50 for defenders placed and 125 for unique defenders
It's like Rock/paper/scissors, Kabam-style
There's probably an optimal, safe number of defenders based on champs available, but I can't be bothered to run the numbers on that...
It remember me when someone is asking for better rewards then the classical bunch just post to say "the reward should be decrease because today is too easy at my days was hard" but then they're complaining because the new content they will to do have poor rewards. Or when people suggest a new idea and -let you guess- the bunch just post to say "I don't want it because it could be exploitable in one absurd way easily avoidable but I don't know it because I'm not developer but I'm replying anyway over and over again" then they're complaining because the actual "new content" finally added is the same but with one extra star and more portals.
So, sometimes I think the community have what they deserve even if Kabam is screwing them.
But you cannot blame the nodes, it would be due the kills are out the score and finally just count pi and roster.
And don't think about "skilled/unskilled" nodes, higher tiers players will just deal with any node similar to and better than the rest.
That look a problem. I'm agree if you're right. It will punish most people (except jobless or like) and it could encourage the already account sharing pandemic.
Damn this must have hurt bad. They literally won this war coz someone missed a placement. Its all a gamble now, alliance will start placing fewer defenders to reduce attack kill pts.
You just need to have 43+ unique defenders per bg and if you are skilled and the other team is still using their God tier defenders with and 4-5 each of them, you'll win. You may have harder fights than you opponent, but as long as you match them kill for kill, you're going to outscore them. Eventually everyone is going to figure this out, and it will be just like 2* wars again.
The alliance with the higher defender rating is going to win, but there won't need to be any item use, and kabam will switch things up to generate revenue.
The old wars, I could have a bad day. That happened, I wouldn't revive. Screw it.
But when you're running the minis, and the end of the course, everyone's counting on you, bye bye glory, bye bye units.
Smart, make the struggle come at the end. After all this, are you really going to just stop?
Maybe that's why the thorns and all or nothing and starbursts are gone. They were punishing nodes and you wouldn't necessarily invest to get past them, knowing you were just two spaces away from more ****. Bring in the difficulty when you can taste the bg clear, well played...
Defender diversity is pretty lame concept. Why would you want to place certain champs on defense when you know they offer nothing and too easy to clear no logic there. Problem with new map is they took out all the good node buffs and toned down attack/health boosts and made it way easier atleast for high tiers. And without defender kills AW point setup is flawed. Look at the war screen posted above by bth024. They lost the war coz someone from opposing team missed a placement how ridiculous is that. If the goal is to explore 100% then dont call it wars, no win or loose just award shards based on exploration and boss kills.
1) zero the energy needed for portal moves, it's just too long at present
2) some element of defender kills need's adding to the score, it doesn't have to be same as last time but you need to figure out a way to incorporate an element of this in otherwise the competitive edge of AW is removed
3) maybe looks at some of 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 nodes and add some of those in
The rewards were already ass in AW based on the old map difficulty/cost. I would say the rewards now at least more accurately reflect the difficulty of the map. If you want the difficulty up then the rewards have to go up as well as there way out of step with where the player progression is.
Because people were complaining about MD and the so called 'Mystic Wars' making the game boring, wasr useless and a cash-grab. That's why they introduced this.
Imo, the idea isn't bad, it's just the implementation could be done in a better way.
You just said to ignore all the crying , then literally went on to list all the things that everyone is crying about Lol.
I actually wouldn't mind the new map and diversity IF they brought back defender kills
I'm in the ally that won this one. Completely idiotic that we win because our highest rated officer is out of town and didn't even join the war. Shouldn't that make us more likely to lose? There's no way this had a real beta testing period. Absolutely no way.
