  • I also experienced this same issue. My aw defense setup is number 3. My standard mastery setup is setup number 1. Last off season war my setup number 1 wasn't working properly. My stun was expiring way too fast and I almost died to a parry heavy fight. Then I manually recovered each and every point and placed it back.…
  • Finally listening to us players... now it's too bad the damage to some alliances was already dealt with people getting sick of the game mode and retiring...
  • this is the core of the entire problem. This is why kabam shouldn't do half-assed things as giving out crappy compensations for victories when the real problem is in the final rank rewards. Sure giving us a bunch of shards and loyalty is not a bad thing. But that's irrelevant when compared to missing out masters top 10 or…
  • Exactly what I was saying. Matchmaking is based on war rating and rankings basically but once war 7 doesn't count then the next wars are all affected because if u win war 7 u get tougher schedule after that, if you lose war 7 then u get easier schedule that's how it works on principle. Everything they do makes things worse.
  • This makes no sense and those compensations don't make up for missing a spot in top 20. War rating was affected and so were the rankings after war 7. The following wars had matchmaking based on that situation. Just one mistake after another I'm glad I'm quitting aw when this season ends. Too bad you didn't decide to end it…
  • actually they changed attack bonus value to 90 instead of 80 points without ever informing us. Your calculations are only slightly off but the core of the matter stays the same
  • Oh so kabam has a right to enjoy their holidays but aw season ABSOLUTELY MUST take place during Christmas or Easter holidays right? Not like planning war takes a ton of time... and then you have to spend the day tagging people and hoping they'll reply and come to play the game instead of maybe spending time with their…
  • to be fair the announcement came in around 20 minutes before matchmaking phase started. Then when matchmaking starts there's roughly an hour of time before war actually starts. When matchmaking starts, u can't touch defense anymore. At most u can fix masteries. I understand it was close to impossible to adjust in time…
  • he's nefti they're winning war season so he has the right to state he enjoys the nodes lol. Although of course generally speaking they suck
  • I don't understand why kabam never listens to us when we tell them stuff. This time again like 2 seasons ago we told kabam that the nodes didn't work and kabam tried to tweak them a bit but didn't give us enough time to test these changes. 3 wars when most alliances don't even place bosses or barely place any tactic…
  • Yeah being in tier 1 we deal with the 5 seconds window. Which is insane indeed when paired with certain nodes and defender abilities
  • Some defensive placements have no answers. All the changes to attack tactic are positive, all of them. It's a good job. But there are still unsolvable interactions. Season starting tomorrow with a total of 3 wars to do some testing (the new node has been out for 3 wars) and on top of that there's the issue with alliances…
  • Thanks Jax, can you also forward this message to the team? While you check the restrictiveness of the node, can you also address the fact that you made a defense global that punishes miss and then added to the attack pool some attackers that rely on miss? It's just nonsensical. Tried to use the hood he was trash. And I…
  • worse than the previous tactic and that's saying a lot. Made a separate post about this a few days ago. Still no reply from kabam. Not addressing the elephant in the room seems like the new trend
  • btw there's another bug that's not fixed. Defense tactic is affected by ability accuracy reduction... also profx and gorr are tactic but they're missing the tag... didnt notice if there are more like them... but just a mess
  • So here comes an update: apparently Kabam fixed the node overnight because now the attack global's prowess effects are preventing indestructible from defense tactic. What we need to see now is how well the nodes interact because for sure there are some local nodes where parrying is an inconvenience. And we already…
  • Nah look I get your answer and I accept it. My complaint with you and other forum guardians in this case was simply that you didn't push in the players' direction by trying to make the devs do something about this... you say they couldn't/wouldn't... dunno... what I know is at some point you said that IF we think the…
  • Look you wrote a lot of essays here but the matter is that my original post was right on the money. It's my turn now to type a lot and you'll see how it feels. I said In this thread before that I, as a tier 1 player from a tier 1 alliance, understand better than most that wars ending 0-1 or 0-0 are absurdly stressful. And…
  • yeah we pushed this season but we were pretty much drained of resources halfway through. So we will rest next season, it can't be helped
  • I understand this issue but I don't mind getting the same loyalty as a teammate who took less fights. It's still way more than what I get now........... I think who takes more fights than me feels the same way too...
  • some fights have no counter lol it's just ridiculous
  • @"Kabam Miike" is it possible to actually look into the war situation, instead of looking the other way? I understand the game team designed these tactics with the idea of increasing aw difficulty so that the number of deaths can go up and I understand this is good for the game mode. Because frankly it's very stressful…
  • I watched the video. You had the attack tactic armor burn... With that available many champs can take him... It's honestly a much better tactic to counter crush in general. Sturdy is more or less useless. Too bad in tier 1 you don't get to pick... You gotta stick with sturdy... But hey kabam devs are happy with it...
  • It's true. This is a separate issue but it did happen to us as well. Some alliances decided not to place the boss to gain an unfair advantage against their opponents. Some alliances got to practice, some others didn't get to. Not to mention the main issue at hand being the fact that the globals are flawed by design
  • we don't have r5 6s ascended psychoman because he is a trash champion
  • Absolutely true, he doesn't even play with this nodes so he has no direct knowledge on the matter. He's just being the voice of the dev team, which apparently are not seeing the problem with the nodes. Our frustration is with the dev team who can't acknowledge the mistake they've made. That being said, I don't think it…
  • Which is not what Kabam wants because that means more or less killing the game mode. You use 1 loyalty revives and you don't spend and nobody cares lol. That's some result! Like I said it takes very little to make this attack tactic valuable. Just reward the player for playing the node by not losing a ton of health to…
  • The team is happy about people dropping the game mode? Because that's how it's going to be. I don't wish to item out every war... and same thing goes for other people from what I've read in this post... I think all it takes to make the attack tactic relevant is increase block proficiency or otherwise reduce block damage at…
  • Update: we found a second instance of permanent root and this time around the attacker wasn't zemo... And the defender was spider gwen. Her sp2 just completely missed the mark. Like it landed a couple steps away from the attacker. And after the animation was over the attacker was still rooted...
  • This is possible in tiers below tier 2. Tier 1-2 have the attack tactic set and it's sturdy....... Lol I also think armor burn would work much better
