How is it a trap, you aren't even close to a high level player? How is this a trap lol? How did you get me? You want my login name, not gonna happen. Not sure what you proved other than you aren't a top level player....so....good job.
I don't understand what this even means.
The only reason you don't give up your game name is because you are a fake! It's true. I was in a top 10 alliance up until the nerf months ago. The moment you give up your game name I will go and check it with my brethren in the actual top 10 alliances. I may only have 2 r4, but until you provide a legit account we all know that you have NONE!
It means that you need to stop with the lies and spamming threads.
I don't give it up because I don't want people contacting me in game. You were never in a top 10 alliance with that roster so quit just stop.
Put down the shovel and quit digging. You've lied enough and been caught. No one here believes you. At least Nick is truthful and does not hide behind a fake forum name.
You are right. The whole issue was Kabam stupidly eliminated the defense element from a war. Removing defender kills to encourage item use and spending is what got them into this BS situation. Defender kills ought to count in ANY war, even a 2nd grade kid will tell you that.
On top of it, they ranked diversity so high. It was a simple case of putting their scoring system in a spreadsheet and running all the scenarios. Its what functional consultants do. And the attack nodes became way too easy. Thats what the testers check. I guess both didnt do their jobs.
I wonder what the tolerance level of unprofessionalism at Kabam are... With the stupid ideas and half baked updates they keep putting out, ideally, we should see some heads roll.
Correct statement would be most people hate MD wars, but hey instead of fixing whats broken lets reduce complete AW to garbage
Defender Rating is a toss up, depending on who goes up against them and what they place. I don't agree that they will have more diversity automatically. Many Allies have a range of Champs outside the Top 10, or however many. It's just my view. I agree that it's a major problem. I'm thinking the new system will help is all.
All credit goes to @JJW
Now you can't do that. Now it's all based on the strength of your roster (diverse champs and defender ratings).
Congrats you just killed the spirit of AW.
Might as well skip attack and let the computer calculate the winner once you're matched up, because that's all it is now. Attack phase is a formality at this point.
AMEN to that☝️
Do you really not keep things like that in mind when you come up with new ideas. Besides new champs that wil come in future that might be good for defence will now have lost alot of value. Cause seeing only 1 can be used in AW defence whats the point opening ton of crystals or grinding for them?
Quit trying to control wich champs we use to play the game. If your statistic tell you certain champs dont get used other then arena..maybe think about why they dont get used.. like spidey gwen (only champ in game with a sp1 that doesnt do damage) or luke cage or pheonix (with useless sig abilities).. and there are more.
But if champs get used to much in offence you nerve the **** out of them.. now this diversity bs. Just bring back defensive kill points.. that also brings back the fun of tactical placement
Thank you for the feedback on Alliance Wars and the recent changes that we made to the Mode!
We’ve made some further adjustments to the mode following the first week of Alliance Wars, and we’re not done yet! We had a set of goals from the get go to make Alliance Wars more fun, engaging, varied, and to address a lot of the concerns that you all had brought up over the course of Alliance Wars existence in game.
We agree we haven't hit those goals yet, but we expect this process to require some iteration based on data collection and feedback.
We're continuing to plan more adjustments and changes, and will be sure to update you all as we make progress. Thank you for your patience as we work to make Alliance Wars the best that it can be!
what about rank down tickets @Kabam Miike so we can readjust our war defenders?
Thanks fellas.
Just give us alliance wars where we want to use our top champs and show our skills. Most of us were working towards ranking up our 5* to be more competitive in AW. After AW 2.0 I dont feel like ranking up anymore, except LOL all other content can be cleared with our 4*.
Pretty vague response. How about let's get some more specifics into the set of goals you mentioned. A change of this magnitude should at least be met with a hand full of rank down tickets for our defenders. I understand Kabam, in a perfect scenario would want us to utilize all the champions for a defense but the problem is most people have already set their strategy with specific champs that took months to even a year to get them there.
Please listen. The game HAS to be based on skill and NEVER about roster diversity or rating. You have to take out diversity because frankly it defeats the purpose of war. Skills win, not rosters or collections. Effectiveness matters. Please revert everything back to the old map and the old scoring system.
You can make slight changes without ruining the balance. Maybe adjust dexterity's relationship with MD so it becomes more of a skilled game?
The FUNNEST part of this game was working incredibly hard to find and rank up the most effective champs and take them to war against other teams. We've spent an enormous amount of time working this and to have it all worth nothing will kill everyone's motivation to play this game. Not all champs are equal, so why treat them that way?
You HAVE to get rid of diversity and defender ratings as part of the criteria for winning wars. Defender kills matter, effectiveness matters.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't placing a 5000 dupe hurt more than placing anything at all? 50 points for a kill vs 10 points gained in PI.
It boggles my mind why DIVERSITY even has any relevance to defender effectiveness? Cause it doesn't and never will.
There's a reason people rank up Dormammus and Magiks instead of Spidey Gwens and Kamala Khans. It's cause the former is effective and the latter isn't.
It's that simple. We don't have a fetish for any specific champ, we seek the ones that are effective and avoid the one`s that aren't.
It's a game and a competition and the best and the smartest win. Don't make it any different. Changes that bring everyone to "an even playing field" is opposite of a fun competition. Everyone right now has the same long term chances to grow their accounts and rosters. It's all RNG. It's already an even playing for the most part.
Don't ruin this great game. Give us back the old map and the old scoring system. Reverting it back to 1.0 doesn't make you weak, it makes you look like you actually value what your customers are saying.
+50 placement
-50 kill
+0 diversity (cause dupe)
+ 100 defense rating (5,000 x 0.02)
net +100
(quick napkin math, rubric from memory, so might be off)
50 for placed
.002 per PI
150 per kill
50 (placed) + 10 PI (5000*.002) - 150 (kill) = -90
