Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

But noooo. What the old system did was have a 10m ally fight other 10m alliances, and if they dominate, they get higher rewards than 30m alliances who go 50/50. That same 30m ally will dominate that TOP 10m ally.
So why does Kabam need to respond to this? They’ve already stated very very clearly that it will take some wars for every alliance to find their true war ratings.
It’s not their fault that players can’t stand losing wars that are match made fairly based on war ratings. If they can’t hang in that rating, they deserve to drop and not earn that tier multiplier.
The point I'm making is one problem doesn't solve another, and one doesn't make the other invalid. A better system is needed than sacrificing half the Players to the other half. An actual solution doesn't have anyone being screwed. Not just half or the other.
There’s no solution that entails no one getting screwed. That’s why ratings were compressed to make the screwing hard and fast, to let the war ratings of these inflated alliances decrease as fast as your dislike counts increase.
Also, you have not given any solutions that doesn’t have anyone being screwed. None. Zero. Nil.
Oh yes, you haven’t answered my previous question yet. I’ll post it here again.
“What is a ‘fair’ matchup?”
You can go ahead and stop asking me what's fair like it's some existential question. Fair is fair. Meaning they're not so overmatched they have no way of winning, and I'm not accepting the whole literal reference you gave about "getting more Points". We all know what fair is. A fair fight.
All along people have been saying, "It'll balance out.". So what? The method of balancing out is screwing these people over and that's why they're here. So let them speak. Their gaming experience is worth just as much as your own.
the whole design of the reward system in all aspects does not match this.
the 6* shards from gold 1 alone does is not the rewards that are designed for new rosters.
who cares what Brian Grant says. his opinion is no more or less valuable than any other member of the community.
the design of the reward system is that higher allies get higher rewards.
a 5mil ally does not deserve to beat only other 5 mil allies and then claim the top rewards.
aif they want bracketed pooling and matching they need different reward pools.
they do not have different rewards pools therefore cannot have different matchmaking pools.
you on the other hand are constantly telling other to shut up.
they can speak, and i can speak against them.
simple as that.
thats how a discussion works.
you are the one here that keeps telling people to shut up and stop voicing their opinions.
is that cus you didn't see it?>
or you don't care?
as i said before the pool system works if there is reward pools to match.
but there is not reward pools so there cannot be match making pools.
but you also acknowledge the old system was not fair. therefore we cannot have that.
so it had to change.
keeping the old system was unfair.
atleast this way the system was unfair to one group, now its unfair to another. atleast the same alliances are not getting screwed over. atleast the unfairness is spread out.
you would not be complaining like you are now if kabam never changed the system yet you acknowledge the old system was unfair.
how can you claim to be a proponent of fairness yet you would be perfectly happy and quiet for the system to stay as it was?
how about instead of arguing here over and over you design a new system. matching and rewards side, put it all together as a proposal and offer it up to kabam and the community to see. that would be a useful use of time not the arguing you are doing here.
what is fair is that one section of alliances were screwed.
now they are not and the others are.
fair can be screwing nobody.
or it can be equally screwing everybody.
or it can be screwing 50% of people and then be adjusted to screw the other 50%.
thats a fair syatem.
leaving the old system and continuing to screw the same alliances would be unfair.
changing the system and screwing the ones that benifited from the old system is actually by definition fair
as it balances out. now we just gotta keep this system for long enough for it to balance out so everyone is screwed equally.
fair is not a simple black and white concept as you make it out to be.
my point is that keeping the old system would be more unfair than changing to this as continuing to screw the same alliances is just so damn unfair it had to change.
War is not fun. All all.
This company makes too much money not to invest in people who can craft a fair and balanced system. It is obvious the current developers do not have the smarts to build it. Speak with your wallets and stop buying into the crappy system until they figure this stuff out. Otherwise why would they change anything? Every decision they make revolves around making money. If the money keeps coming in, they assume its working as intended.
You can’t define what is “fair” because you have no idea HOW to define it. Masking your ignorance with rhetorics just reduces your non-existent credibility further.
Is a 1m fighting a 6m fair? What about 10m v 15m? 20m v 26m? 30m v 36m? You can’t even answer such a basic question that ALL your “arguments” stem from.
Otherwise you guys should have figured out for some fair game play.
30mil alliances only fight 30mi alliances
yet the 5mil alliances take the top tier rewards away from the 30mil alliances is not fair.
Once the tiers are correctly sorted, the matches will become fair. Just be patient.
Anyway, “fair” is very subjective. As I mentioned above, there’s no one set parameter of what “fair” means.
Eg. If a 45m alliance fights a 25m alliance that has 100 less prestige, is that considered fair?
One can argue is fair because prestige is similar, another can argue it isn’t because one alliance seems to have a much deeper roster due to alliance rating.
So the fairest way, is to discard all these variables, and have one parameter, ie war ratings, determine whether a matchup is fair or not.
are you an alliance sitting higher than you should be?
if this is the case you will drop to where you should be and all will be good for you soon.
or are you a very low WR alliance who will be facing newer larger alliances?
if this is the case it is unfortunate but should not happen often. hopefully some tweaking can be done to help reduce these matces right down the bottom end, but bear in mind someone needs to fight these alliance on their way up.
