After a few month break, and anticipation, Beta Wars were back last weekend! I think it would be pretty cool to open a dialog between ATA (or more specifically Pimd_Community) and the players! I'll start and hopefully PIMD_COMMUNITY is lurking and cam respond! 1) How was the turn out? Did enough players participate to warrant running them again? 2) How does the prestige system work? And is it foreshadowing possibly letting our home clubs war soon, instead of assigned clubs? 3) Thanks!
Thanks Ski for starting this My questions are: 1) Will it be possible to have different durations? Or example 4,6 and 8 hour wars 2) A way to determine admin sometimes the top 3 aren't even awake during war 3) any plans for a tournament in the future? If not why not
ATA not gonna give you any info.. They are known for keeping things close to the vest.. pimd_c will probably reply but not with any type of juicy info or elaborate with details
Hey guys, With the Beta Wars just having ended on Friday we're going to be discussing the results amongst the team this week. That said, turnout was impressive and I think more importantly it looks like everyone had fun. Nothing is set in stone yet so I want to hold off from promising anything just yet but I'll keep you up to date. In the meantime, if you share what you like about the Beta wars I can pass this along as well
Thanks for responding so quick PIMD_Community. I enjoyed the 1 war I was able to participate in. Sorry I couldn't partake in more, like I wanted too, but the deep blower pow was calling my name. What we have learned from PimdC's vague post is turn out was excellent and nothing else, lol. What would I like to see in the future? The ability to go to war with my club mates, Playmates, instead of a randomly generated team. How about everyone else?
No ski simply because I don't want to war playmates and get my ass kicked lol Seriously though I would like club war tournaments, warring with friends is always more fun but its also nice to meet new people which I have done in all beta wars. Im pleased the turn out was good, hopefully it shows that this isnt just a party game like so many assume it is.
I enjoy the short form wars! 4 and 6 hour would be nice too. Ive seen members bring up the idea of a war scavenger hunt, and would like to say...Please dont consider this. We already have 2-5 inactive during the beta wars on average, and if wars drop scavenger items, people will sign up just for the drop, with no regard to anything else.
I enjoy short war options and can be more active. The beta wars were a lot of fun and i wish we could declare shorter wars like that as well.
I support. Enjoyed all three Beta Wars. I agree 4-8 hr war options on regular wars would be an excellent idea. I often dont sign up for a war simply because I cant really commit to 24 or 48 hrs.
Im pissed off still that I missed all the beta wars yet again. I have always supported shorter war options tho, made threads, sent feedback etc. Shorter wars will equal more wars. It's simple as that.
I really like the current format. 4 hour wars were alright when it was tried in KaW, and longer wars, 8-48 hours just drag on. A good team gets control and keeps control in the beginning.
