Server Mergers: March 4, 2014

[Loser_1977544]

New patches mean nothing if servers are dead.

I'd like to comment on a merged server 64/68/73 in AsiaPac. Originally, I was on 73 and we had about 20-25 active players and 3 active guilds (one in each realm). Two of the guilds battled quite evenly, and one (my guild) liked to be a nemesis.... On this new merged server, it's been totally imbalanced since day 1. The top 3 players are in one guild, and each of their power is greater than most guilds. Theycontrol all of the cities (sans one 20% rep) and also control several alt guilds. If tynon wants this game to be about the individual, then they're doing great. But for guilds, they're not. Several top players from 73, who were very active, have quit due to this imbalance, and the merged server (64/68/73) is becoming deader by the day. Just my 2 cents.

And this is my entire point. I have been playing games for well over 30 years online and offline. I have even been on the playstation advisory board. Combine that with my knowledge of marketing and the internet itself - I know Tynon will never be what league of angels or wartune has become, these games while they are far more complex and include many more features they have one element that Tynon lacks and that is millions of players (Not millions of alts).

Let's face it Tynon did a complete overhaul already and they did that for a reason (most likely because they was dying) but unless they go cross server many more gamers will be leaving. It has nothing to do with the drama because as mentioned in a post earlier "Drama Exist In All Games".

Server mergers can fail, leading to even more loss of customer base. I play on many Tynon servers and find that most dead/dying servers suffer from rampant cheating.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but sadly this is how mergers for any game can work out. For some it's a complete success, for others like yourself it's miserable and this is where I'm afraid you need to adapt. Mergers create a brand new playing field and server type so use that to your advantage!

To a degree, I'll agree with you. Tynon players badly wanted (and needed) mergers but I really think most were unprepared for what actually could happen. I've played other games and had the servers I've played on merged which have (for me) gone either way. Usually badly if the guild/alliance/league was unprepared. The normal explanations given by the losing side are 'they had much bigger players/mist be cheating/have weapons of mass destruction'. It's rare for any one to ever compliment another team or player for being actually good and well prepared.

As for alts and alt guilds, then the only solution is to report them. Yes it seems that no matter how many times you write to CS nothing seems to be done. However, if lots of people keep mail bombing them, the more likely Tynon will investigate.

Yeah I find it amazing at how some seem to think someone must be cheating because they can use in game strategies (know when to choose a guild chest, know when to use gems, and etc) better than others ...lol

As far as alt - I seriously doubt anything will be done. S45 is full of ALTS and ALT Guilds. While all on s45 accuse Rise Of Hope of having all these alts it's actually backwards - Rise Of Hope is the ONLY guild that has all real people in it while the other guilds have 50+ alts, some stolen accounts, and many alt guilds. I know for a fact months ago many complaints went to support for alts and alt guilds, nothing was done and the end result was many real players stopped playing.

Using gems better than others is a strategy.
Knowing when to choose a guild chest is not - if you actually can change what a guild chest will give you - then yes you are cheating - since what you will receive in your next guild chest and also the next few is stored server side - the only way to change it is to cheat.

You must have a rough life to be so uneducated and negative all the time.

Reloading chest when you don't want what is there has nothing to do with cheating, maybe reading someones post the proper way and not putting your own spin on it will help you understand what others are saying.

How do you reload chests?
No matter how many times you open and close a chest, what item you receive is predetermined. The only thing that can be changed is what card you receive in the small chance the chest contains a purp or gold hero.. but that is so rare it doesn't make a difference. Especially not when you need 4-5 cards to get one sainting.
