**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.

AW unfair strategy

Hello Kabam,

There's a new strategy in alliance war where teams are placing just half of their defenders, then come with a full team in attack. In that way we can't get enough points to win the fights, even if we have explored at 100% and kill the Boss. Where did you see fights where you can enter the game whenever you want? Do you have ever seen a football team to begin a match with only 5 members, and the 6 other ones joining at the halftime?
So, can you do something in order to prevent players to enter after the placement phase if they don't have place a defense? I mean, if you haven't place your defenders, you can't join once the attack phase has begun.

Thanks in advance.

    The opponents put less defenders? that just means that every node that should have had an enemy but doesnt, you automatically get full attack bonus by walking over it. Sounds like you should be happy they only put in half their defenders IMO lol.

    I'm not sure you know how the scoring system works...

    [Spoiler]I turned to American football for analogies. Think of it like this... every other time they get the ball, they fall down in their own endzone and give you a safety. Literally free points.[/spoiler]
  • Hey there, for any nodes that don't have defenders placed on them, you would automatically get the full attack bonus just for walking over them, which would be the same amount of point if the opponent placed a defender and you defeated it in one fight. Hope that helps clear things up!

    It sounds like they aren't full tanking but also not trying hard to win. If you are losing these wars than they are just better because they are giving you free points.

    I would believe they just want to lower their alliance war index.

    Lots of alliance not placing defs coz they just want to stay in gold1 and focusing in aq mostly bcoz of the rank up materials... Difference between plat3 and gold1 season rewards isnt much... its wise choice..

    Maybe its time to buff aw season rewards

    Yea bro I think you got this one backwards. These should be guaranteed wins because it sounds like they are tanking but still want practice.. you should get full points for every defender not there

    Tanking doesn't equal guaranteed Wins. It equals people lowering their Rating to ambush weaker Allies for Points when Seasons start. Those Allies that are ambushed and taken advantage of lose potential Season Points for their larger Rewards. Just saying.

    He meant it ought to be a guaranteed win for OP since he is facing an alliance that is tanking that specific war...
