Patch: More Balanced Guild Warfare

[ChickenWing]

Perhaps some people do it to keep even with others who have alts, but would much rather NOT having to make alts to keep up with others who are spamming alts? If alts were weaker, then there would be less use for alts and then those of us who hate alts yet feel they are needed can ditch them and save ourselves the effort? And not everyone uses alts to feed their main -- especially with this terrible durability mechanic, it is now far more important to get the alts up (at least to the point where they can beat opposing alts, saving durability from being received on your mains).

Alts are needed, and I hate that fact. Having maximum guild capacity is far too important right now, and that space must be filled through alts, as no fresh players are joining [my server]. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of thing -- don't make alts and lost cities to opposing guilds making alts, or do make alts and then lose interest in the game's work required to maintain status on the server.


Furthermore, GW has changed from B -> A into "AFK WARS." Small players and alts fight the battles while large players afk in G to save durability. Most opposing guilds try once, realize they've taken too much damage and can't crack G because of it, and afk the rest of the fight as well. This leaves 30 turns of both sides afk in A and G whilst 1M power accounts fight each other at D to no end. We don't have the power to take A, they don't have the power to take G, and we sit around moping over the durability.

This is exactly what I meant. Thank you.

Personally I totally agree with you!!!! I found some remarks made slightly hypocritical, but I suppose we all do that. GW is a travesty the way it is. The buffs from cities is how we feed our accts, and grow. Without that there is not enough to do, growth is slow, too slow to keep up, you get slaughtered.. no fun, etc. etc. If the Dev's could listen, and up the rewards and things commensurate to the growth it might help a lot. Like inflation, accts grow and are charged more for things but earnings do not. Like you say, just compounds the whole issue.

I am already looking for a new game and so is many others. I have spend over 1 thousand dollars one of my guild members has spent 6 thousand dollars on his toon. we have that power to win in GW. If guild wars is not changed back soon we will be leaving this game and finding a new one. this new guild wars is for having lots of alts. apparently you want those of us who spend tones of money to stop pay and leaving and if that is the case your doing a good job. please change it back or we are laving the game. and you dont have much time.

I was way ahead of players in the new GW's formation of things (found it fun TY). Now your changed it a bit, so guessing from this new update, (most likely because most complain instead of looking at it as a challenge like me) this will make GW's easier for the top guilds once again to fill the GW cities up. Hope not as competition in the GW's have revived many servers. Personally thought it Guinness, what you did on 3-17-2014. I'll be testing to see how much the decrees on wins changes stuff. Hope it doesn't just put the, (Garrison B, march to A on first round back in). This killed the GW's for me. The 3-17 change was exciting for me and worked on stuff to win more, also had to make alliances to hold more cities, but now may break them off. I'll see.
Will respond more on this as I'm thinking you might have made many top guilds more happy and smaller fighting ones unhappy. Small guilds were much more into the GW's when they found they could win some cities and have the rewards held by only one guild for so long.
Shame on the whiners to new stuff. Spend as much time figuring out a way to be on top of any changes, and you may find game more fun as I do. Sorry, just irritates me when people complain more then figure stuff out personally.

P.S. Keep up good work Tynon DEV team.

The buffs themselves should make it interesting. I'd rather they increase the buffs than put the durability back to -5 per hit to be honest.

I kinda like the new GW format. I like that on our server, you totally screwed over one realm and another is struggling but it did nothing to the other 3. I don't like a certain player associated with both realms, he is very cold, hint hint, and to see Tynon take sides in a war like this is funny as hell. It is so awesome you punished him that way. I hear he has spent well over 10k to get to where he was when y'all slammed him down allowing all the other players in the other realms to catch up to him. Thank you Tynon!

this new gw setup is all kinds of wrong.we build our accounts for how guild warfare was first set up now all our work is taken away. tynon you have again fixed something that wasen't broken thus fuccing up the whole game

[UPLITO_8357372]

Yes very much and adding insult to injury the buffs/boosts they get when attacking doesn't seem to be applied when the reverse is in place and my guild is attacking! Seriously Tynon just tie our left leg to our right arm while your at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drayzzok]

I have no issue with the new set up. I do however have an issue with players admitting RIGHT HERE they have alts because "everyone else has them" and they are allowed to continue to play.
