So since we have been told to make a thread to discuss wars, I have decided to make one. Instead of having people complain about the war tournament, let's try to keep this thread civil and discuss how future war tournaments could improve. While in cc this morning, Harsh and I were discussing how we could possibly improve future tournaments and a few ideas we had were to have all clubs sign up and post their original war roster on the thread. Keeping the rules of the ongoing war tournament where people cannot join other clubs after signing up with one, posting original rosters may allow mercs to decide which club could use their help and possibly even out the club. We all know there are certain war mercs who travel in groups, I am well aware of that, but they could work something out and try to even out the clubs that want to join! remember. Keep this thread civil. Its to try and improve future tournaments! What have you seen in this war tournament that you would like to see improved in future war tournaments?
It is hard to recruit during the week days when people work. It might help if clubs could discuss with each other when they can war within a certain time frame given by the organizer.
Match roster. Only need mercs on one side. Use merc pool for balancing any underpowered side on the day.
Because of the difference in weekends and time difference most weekend wars for me turn into weekdays which is better IMO as tomol said I can spend weekends with family and friends not glued to a phone Maybe war hour options but that's something the Devs can help us with I know a lot would love to war but can't do it for 24 so maybe 8-4 hour options
I agree. I would like to be able to discuss when war is declared. The time for this war declaration caused issues for my club since we all were going to sleep right when it started. Not that that would've made a difference since I was DTW at the time but it was hard for me to last minute recruit.
Would be nice if declaration time was shortened 6-8 hour wait is a lot Someone mentioned tb in a diff thread it's hard to balance tb let's say it's 20 vs 20 and someone like Pun with huge tb joined it would probably take 3-4 ppl at least to match his tb
I think, referring to what Mae said on the other thread, that the tournament is kind of misleading because it's supposed to be actual clubs vs clubs. At least that's what it sounds like. But in actuality it's not. There aren't many clubs in which all members war or that the club itself wars. But there are definitely eager war mercs wanting to join in. Plus you have war groups that don't necessarily dwell in a club together but they still exist. I think that either mercs should be excluded or create teams or a club specifically for war mercs be made. Or create war teams. And like Mae said if mercs are being brought in make sure everyone knows who they are beforehand and that it's settled days before the war is actually declared. People hate surprised or changes in plan so make sure everyone is informed and knows what's going on.
Awh Anna. I saw it! I did see a lot of you mentioned matching rosters. In anyone's opinion, is there a way ATA could help with making the war matched in a tournament?
This was for redzys..but it got locked before i could post? For me personally, I like weekday wars, as previously said, I tend to be busy with home commitments at weekends and wouldn't want to be on my devices all weekend. But that being said, I think as a whole, the community would much prefer weekends. Hopefully the devs can change war length times and it could be alot easier either way. Merc wars used to be a lot of fun lol but I understand why people get upset about them. If there was to be another tournament like Pri's, then yes, I think there has to be some balance for it to work. However; it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a completely matched rooster war...and people will ALWAYS complain about something. But getting them as balanced as possible is going to be the only way I think. Then mercs who like to war can be included on any team that would need them. Also, those who don't like the rules, or how something is set up...don't join. It's that simple. You can't possibly please everyone but take it as a learning curve and hopefully with the Devs help, we can see more of these sorts of wars surfacing. Good effort to Pri for attempting this at least Oh and another thought...unless the tb is ridiculously impossible to break through...I don't honestly think it matters. You could have 3 high tb players who (no offence to anyone) have no idea how to war or are not even active, compared to 3 low tb actives. I think it takes leadership, activity and organisation to win a war. Not tb.
My suggestions for a war tournament are: 1) 20 vs 20, this allows smaller clubs to war or clubs that don't have many war players 2) Maximum of 5 mercs, this will stop a team being flooded by every war merc and his dog 3) Wars only on weekends as most players have school or work 4) Semi matched roster for example if it was a 20 vs 20 we could state that each club must have 5 players 2.2 mc - BC 5.Players 1.5 mc - 2.1 mc 5 players 1mc - 1.5mc 5 Players. 0 - 1mc Those are purely examples
