**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

125 points for diversity? 50 points for attacker kills? I guess Fallout was wrong, war can change

When you guys at Kabam announced war changes (where is the flare node?) you very specifically said "This scoring system will not award large amounts of points, and will act more as a tiebreaker than a game changer."....

As of today's announcement defender diversity now counts 2.5x more than attack kills! (125 points to 50).... in other words if we put full diversity on our war maps, then lose the attack phase 2:1... we still win!

Yay? What is going on here?!

    from the original thread by @Kabam Miike ...

    Points Breakdown:
    Node Exploration: 300 per Node (equals out to before, when it was 450)
    Boss Kill: 20 000 Points
    Defenders Placed: 50 per Defender Placed
    Defender Diversity: 125 per Unique Defender
    Defender Rating: 0.002 per PI
    Attacker Kills: 150 per Kill

    Attacker kills are now 50 points?!

    Why can't you just bring back defender kills? It's such an easy fix!

    Kabam will never admit they were wrong and reverse a decision. They will just continue to do the bare minimum to appease the masses

    Not totally true... they did a major correction after 12.0

    You're right. If the whale boycott and their game rating drops so that people won't download the game, and they see articles on tech websites which discuss how to kill a profitable game, all while they are tying to sell the game for big bucks, they will "listen." Lmao
  • Wars have clearly lost the element of skill. If they left attack kills and brought back defender kills (maybe at 50 points per instead of the previous 100), and added in some more difficult nodes (like Bane or maybe even skill would still matter and alliances would have to find that balance between strong defenders and diverse defenders. Make AW a chess match. It's clearly still broken.

    Lol @ wars have clearly lost the element of skill... not one aspect of alliance war was about skill. Matter of fact, not one part of this game is has any element of skill.
