Seriously people are getting stupider here. Apart from a dozen or so vip8's+ who are kitted out in 6 pc justice already most people will get the same rewards.
How does gambling work? There are many possibilities.
This first set is if you can only bet on the winner. I assume that is the way it works
- You bet against "the house", with no odds. If you win you get whatever you bet back plus an equal amount in winnings. The number of players betting, the total amount bet by all players or the number of winners does nor affect what you get. This is similar to playing games like roulette in a casino.
- You bet against the house, with with odds that are calculated based on the power of each player or some other factor. This is the same as #1 but your winnings are whatever you bet times the odds.
- The total amount that was bet by all players goes into a pool and it is divided equally among the winners.
- Like #3 above but with odds as described n #2 above
- For #3 or #4 above total amount bet is reduced by a percentage that goes to "the house".
On the preliminary rounds are the players divided into groups and the ones that 'place' in each group advance or is it a free for all like Rag? It says that that it is a round robbing system and that implies that each player fights every other player once. With 512 players in the first round and only 5 minutes that is 35 seconds per round (5*60*60/511=35.225) and that does not appear to be possible unless the fight scenes are terminated early (we all know that the result is already determined).
Another possibility is that their idea of round robin is like in Rag where you face random opponents but you only face the same opponent once. That means that out of the 511 opponents in the first preliminary you would only face 300 of them if they are 1 minute rounds like in Rag.
On subsequent rounds where the each player fighting another player once would take less than 5 minutes:
- Do they fight each other more than once?
- Are the rounds timed like in Rag or do they go to fight scene completion like in WB (Banish)?
Is the betting done on each individual round or only for the overall winners?
Update
I have no clue what I was thinking when I wrote the above. It says that each round lasts 5 minutes and my calculation was based in 5 hours. Now I am really confused. How can you have a round robin of 512 players in 5 minutes?
How I understand the preliminaries is that they will be used to select the 512. So the preliminaries will include everyone in tynon. They will fight in a round robin system to select the top 512. Then the warfare starts from there going in elimination rounds.
If I started playing last month I wouldn't be on here crying about not being able to take on someone who has been playing since the game went live in june. I mean how can you even think you should be able to compete with them? I am not from 1 to 10 servers either, closer to server 30 actually . I already stated that I think there should be different divisions so I am not blind to your plite. It is what it is, just let it play out, you may even enjoy it even if you not the top dog.Quote:

The difference between the gems cost for removing chips and championship warfare is that you guys want it changed before you even get to see it in action. How do you know you are going to like or dislike something before you try it. You wouldn't decide that a new flavor of ice cream isn't any good before you have even tasted it would you?Quote:

Does it really matter which server gets the most rewards? As far as I am concerned, if I get good rewards compared to people in my OWN server, I will be happy. If you are strong enough to compete for the top 8, then great -- you have no reason to complain. If you are NOT strong enough to compete, then why should it matter that others servers are getting better rewards? Servers are not directly competing with each other, so as long as you get nice rewards relative to players in your own server, you should be content.Quote:

Just my two cents.
Yeah my main server is server 3, but there are players on 90 who could probably beat me unless they truly do not know what they are doing. I never said I was strong and without a lot of luck there is no way that I will make it past the prelims. And I do not care where the tops rewards go.
Let's assume they do draw some lines and split the servers up by age. The oldest servers in each group are going to get the top rewards and players from the newest servers from each group will complain how the arbitrarily drawn lines are keeping them from having a shot at the top rewards. There is no way to make it completely fair without have at least 20+ different championship warfare groups and that number will keep on growing as more servers get added. The whole purpose of the warfare is to see who is the best and the rewards are just an incentive to participate.
Furthermore, I do not complain that I do not get a chance at the great rewards from WB due to the strongest players in my realm monopolizing the top few spots or that I do not have a shot at making it far into the Heaven's Palace where the rewards get really good (of course the server I'm on is one of the ones that tries to make HP easier for weaker players but that just pissed me off, I loved trying to beat the best players on the server even if it wasn't really them).

Actually Revan, server 65 is one of the more stronger servers after 50 I do believe, I went on 60 and their strongest was 10million, and our top 9 has more than 12 million, but heck im not complaining about the warfare, I want to have a chance to see and fight stronger people, because I feel I have a chance against a few that have more power than me, and also I cant wait to bet on winners. ;)
