Today we lose a brother in arms, someone we could have always counted on, when mods patched our DPS bugs. Cataclysm will always hold a special place in my heart, for all the drysnipes, all the good times, that will never leave my memory.

We must'nt forgive the evil content team for this injustice.

gg ct finally did something to wars

noble brook
#

ct team hates war ig

weary thunder
#

real

noble brook
#

i mean tbf, no one can rely on ct to ever do anything good to war

weary thunder
#

true

hasty ridge
#

surely thats still enough for snipes and shit right

noble brook
#

im just sad that wynn doesnt care about war :E

#

its literally the only reason i play

hasty ridge
#

warring probably still fine tbf

#

dry snipes are gone but whatever

noble brook
#

it just sucks

hasty ridge
#

yeah i agree

very few of the wynn CT play a lot-- let alone war to the extent that many guilds do

thats like 80% of current cata dps

does divzer wall bombing even sustain well

undone sphinx
#

every thunder war build uses the same recipe anyways

undone sphinx
hasty ridge
#

im guessing people are just gonna start wallbombing then or pull funny shit and get banned by mods

noble brook
#

ye

#

its just annoying

#

most warrers dont feel listened to rn

#

from the ones ive spoken to

#

:/

hasty ridge
#

tbh wars are like

#

not accounted for in balancing

noble brook
#

yeah

hasty ridge
#

they are still fine in terms of what you can do with current gear but

#

they fundamentally lack rewards

#

like the fuck is the point of holding a claim to an individual warrer

noble brook
#

yeah

#

i wish there was a warring overhaul update

#

i would genuinely donate money for that to happen

hasty ridge
#

even the current system would be nice if theres a real reason for people to start warring

#

and some mechanics to actually encourage attacking rather than holding big ass claims for nothing but sr (useless to individuals)

noble brook
#

i agree entirely

#

I think war should be a lil more integrated into wynn

#

rn it feels very separated

#

theres hardly any rewards

#

and all ems from emseek go back into funding consu to actually war

#

it needs an overhaul

undone sphinx
#

RIP

#

im thinking about the problems that the current war system is facing rn

undone sphinx
#

its pretty shrimple

#

no good incentives
hard to get more players into warring
not a lot of help from the game itself to war/ eco
lack of good consistent dps that wont affect the meta in raids

#

and it is a lot of time and effort

hasty ridge
# undone sphinx no good incentives hard to get more players into warring not a lot of help from...

i think incentives heavily relies on accessibility and the distribution of rewards

because if you lets say, give warring really good rewards or exclusives, you also have to make sure smaller guilds can actually benefit from it, as the current system offers practically no real reward to guilds who cant hold (and holding is really costly since you need active players to cover all timezones), you also have to reward people for attacking without ending up with people trading terrs (cough cough ffa)

and then yeah warring itself is also really gatekept by both the game and community (community gatekeeping makes a lot of sense since this is competitive afterall, mainly just the game giving practically no real instructions), ecoing is also nearly impossible to understand without guidance but the problem is how are you gonna make ecoing easy to understand without ruining the variety of strategies and interactions that arise from it

dps is probably the easiest one to solve out of all if the game is balanced (spoiler: it isnt) eventually and just tuning war tower stats

#

(and of course balancing itself is a whole other hell since how are you gonna make the game enjoyable for both sweats and casuals while maintaining balance)

undone sphinx
#

deep

hasty ridge
#

idk even tho warring is hard to "fix" in general i think it currently lacks attention so badly

cerulean lodge
#

hows the warring scene nowadays? any consistent attacker guilds?

#

are any defending guilds fighting eachother?

there are multiple instances ive seen nia attacking seq 😭

static edge
hasty ridge
#

theres like no one contesting for claims at all its kinda lame

#

outside of maybe corkus or desert

undone sphinx
#

yeah it is like there are a lack of warring playerbase

hasty ridge
#

not even sky gets contested 😭

undone sphinx
#

and lack of incentives

#

maybe

#

yeah that would be a crazy idea

hasty ridge
#

realistically whats the point of holding a claim other than sr atp

#

weeklies give a decent amount of gtomes

#

not as many as a guild with 8 tome seeks obviously but like

cerulean lodge
#

yea i def agree they should add more incentives to warring

hasty ridge
#

and then em seek isnt even real

#

like why would i spent time maintaining a claim when doing a single raid with 3 other people generate more total money than a full day of em seek 😭

undone sphinx
#

they should give out half le per war done

hasty ridge
#

ig being on map is like a big advertisement but man i dont really see any difference in terms of rewards between being in a defender guild and being in a raiding guild

tough forge
#

well season rating

hasty ridge
#

in fact i would probably make way more if i use my time PROFFING WITH 1LE DERNICS rather than warring

undone sphinx
#

you could watch a movie while proffing and holding a claim

hasty ridge
#

you only really care about sr if you are attached to your guild but that is more of a "ego" (not in a bad way idk what word i can use to describe this) thing rather than real rewards

undone sphinx
#

graiding better to get sr anyways

hasty ridge
#

in early season yeah

#

theres just not much point to war tbh the mindset has become "why not just raid" atp

#

you can see like how like 3/4 of feedback posts are raid-related (balancing) and no one really talks about wars

#

really comes to show how no one wants to do this

undone sphinx
#

i find wars differ from raids cuz you have to get this person to do war with you cuz they only have that type of war role build but in contrast raids you just get what ever person that has more than 3 braincells and has a hero build

hasty ridge
#

it has a war section? 😭

undone sphinx
undone sphinx
#

surely

hasty ridge
#

probably mostly linny idk

#

im still trying to get deeper into wars

#

(mostly too bored of raids)

hasty ridge
#

you would expect an avg warrer to be a bigger yapper than raider as well due to the community nature of wars

#

actually maybe not idk

static edge
#

just delete wars

undone sphinx
#

they dont understand how do competitiveness branch out

#

to different emotions

hasty ridge
#

toxicity is completely normal when you have real competitive content

#

obviously dont turn this into like hsb dung level of toxicity

hasty ridge
#

but its to be expected

#

and i think the warring toxicity issue isnt even that bad

undone sphinx
#

it is normal to get mad when you spam "dont log this terr" 10 times and someone still take it

#

👍

hasty ridge
#

its just a few individuals really who take this too far

#

it will be sad if warring is gone since its so unique

i do lowkey feel bad for the mods getting cooked in gcomm every day (not talking about whether its deserved or not) but apart from that its mostly fine

undone sphinx

#

sorry

#

im gamblesexual

hasty ridge
#

theres a really clear reason why there are so few asian warrers in general

undone sphinx
#

i can tell

hasty ridge
#

most of them are raiders

copper shell
#

asia raiding also sucks

hasty ridge
#

asia raiding is fine in a guild

undone sphinx
#

its fine when you get 3 other asians

hasty ridge
#

thats why you see asian players being really concentrated in certain guilds

#

cuz no asian want to play in EU or NA

tough forge
#

eu wars when

hasty ridge
#

its sad how warring always sends you to NA

tough forge
#

yes

hasty ridge
#

(unless NA is completely full)

tough forge
#

cus the war proxys are always na

hasty ridge
#

making warring actually dependent on the warrers' region would be a great step

#

even tho the eco menu is still mega shit in asia

tough forge
#

i did hear that yeah

undone sphinx
#

do loadouts and pray that it did work

tough forge
#

like aura

#

I think this change is actually pretty fun altogether. It forces the warring scene to lock in and come up with new bs

hasty ridge
#

just pray that the bs doesnt get used in raids otherwise its cooked

tough forge

wdym

#

monster solo raid meta

hasty ridge
#

i mean like a lot of war dps stuff lately only get nuked when they start being popularised in raids

tough forge
#

ah

#

its bound to happen, if its useful for wars u can slightly change it and bam u have a tcc build

hasty ridge
#

cuz like maintaining a good raid meta is way more important than stopping you from using bs in wars

hasty ridge
tough forge
#

as established, ct doesnt care about wars, they are nieche

hasty ridge
#

gluing or just tcc

tough forge
#

im still interested in what people will manage to come up with, i dont think attacker guilds will stop wanting to attack and defender guilds defo arent gonna give upn their claims

hasty ridge
#

warring doesnt even need like additional balance (in the short term) all it takes is probably just more rewards (in a reasonable manner obviously) then it will be alive

undone sphinx
#

backstab nirvana doesnt work on towers 💔

tough forge
#

rewards are great

#

that is true, unless you are invested in your guild or want the aura from doing some hard hq why even war in the first place

hasty ridge
#

yeah warring lacks tangible rewards

tough forge
#

tome seeks and em seeks arent it

hasty ridge
#

and even if you count tome seeks

#

psychologically

#

delayed rewards are way less effective than immediate ones

tough forge
#

even if u were to bring back full claim seekings, if ur an actually big guild u still dont profit from it

hasty ridge
#

(waiting a few hours after war for seekings to pop off vs getting le straight from finishing a raid)

tough forge
#

sure but idt u can make an end reward chest for a war

hasty ridge
#

yeah you cant but there may be solutions to make small attackers actually feel rewarded

#

the whole hold->reward system doesnt work out well outside of big guilds because its too costly to hold for most guilds

tough forge
#

idt the cost is the problem, its more the effort

#

as you said its hard to get people in every timezone

hasty ridge
#

costly as in like

#

labour

tough forge
#

ah yes

#

then i agree

#

its not worth or straight up impossible for most guilds in the game

#

but i think that is fine by itself

hasty ridge
#

its probably fine to reward guilds for holding yeah its wars after all

#

i just think it needs some sort of system of rewards for smaller guilds

#

for the players exactly

tough forge
#

some system of worldwide buffs like aspects?

#

just hand them emeralds after war?

#

idk

hasty ridge
#

idk as well

#

its hard to come up with something thats actually balanced

tough forge
#

make hqs drop mythics 🥀

#

some exploding tower animation into random mythic chance

#

forgery ts war up

hasty ridge

😭

tough forge
#

since you did not receive a mythic, your mythic chance has been increased by 1.1*10^-100%

#

allthough i dislike it i think the only system that works is rewarding being on map

undone sphinx
#

i think guild alliance is a good implementation

#

it is just no motivation to do so

That's a bum claim for even mega alliance standards

etkw did

hasty ridge
#

it was actually kinda cool how there were guilds in molten

#

for proffing or just holding

tough forge
#

idk how holding "Holding" is if theyre just there cus noone bothers to attack

#

corkus type claim

tough forge
#

but yes at least it doesnt affect the overall game economy

hasty ridge
tough forge
#

wars were already at a funny place pre cata death

hasty ridge
#

the seq aeq war wouldve been fun if it didnt happen when i literally just woke up

#

idk we need more wars between big guilds like this

#

its kinda funny

tough forge
#

its time and labour and cost intensive

#

and what do you get? nothing

hasty ridge
#

yeah fair

tough forge
#

might as well raid

hasty ridge
#

it does feel frustrating if someone starts a war while you dont want to bother

tough forge
#

well tahts how defending is

hasty ridge
#

defending is like

#

so lame

#

it feels like maintenance work

#

only fun when you get to troll snakers otherwise its just more annoying than anything else

#

tough forge
hasty ridge
#

yeah

#

i dont really mind it but being an attacker is 10x more fun

tough forge
#

yeah i woudnt disagree with that

hasty ridge
#

goes from having a liability to being a liability to another guild

tough forge
#

but yes exactly

#

as an attacker u can goof around

copper shell
hasty ridge
#

lets attack aeq

copper shell
#

omg based asf

weary thunder
#

can we bring back em seeks

#

can ct think about wars

#

can wars pls get improved upon

#

can guilds get a bigger role

#

maybe more seeks????

#

emseek solves 110% of all problems in guilds

#

if the game wont reward ppl for warring

#

and we dont get an actual attainable way of doing that ourselves

#

wars will die more than it is dying rn

timid raven
#

rip cata

tough forge
#

What’s ur problem with em seems bro

weary thunder
timid raven
#

guess how em seeks work...
by sitting on a massive claim doing absolutely nothing
and even if you do that you barely get anything
it leaves nothing for off map guilds (which is the majority of guilds)
and nothing for guilds who even war but don't have a claim

weary thunder
# timid raven guess how em seeks work... by sitting on a massive claim doing absolutely nothin...

Wouldnt emseeks lead to there being more wars since there would be a bigger incentive to hold a claim? More wars for the holding guilds that have to defend attacks on their claims? The good thing about emseek is the financial incentive to hold a claim, without emseeks its not really worth it. Holding guilds doing nothing doesnt seem like a realistic outcome. More guilds would war since there would be more incentive to war. If emseek would get brought back a large claim would generate roughly 1.5stx each day. In 99% of guilds this money would be invested in their community.

#

Does this suck?

fuck em seeks

timid raven
# weary thunder elaborate cro

are you really going to sit here and say that em seeks have 0 issues in its current state though?
like sure It's not that I am against warring giving emeralds but em seeks currently have so many issues and for that reason I don't want them to be buffed like

weary thunder
#

emseeks are useless right now, they are way too weak, not buffing them wouldnt be good 😼 🐔 😛

noble brook
#

also emseek rn is SO ass

#

so this take is just kinda dumb

#

ily tho

@dusky stone are you the smartest tbbd player

is my question true?

#

u said ''thats true'' to a yes or no question

#

im gonna assume you arent the smartest tdbd player then...

timid raven
#

@weary thunder is it true all on map guilds are shit at warring

weary thunder
#

🙀

timid raven
#

only one thats decent is like seq

timid raven
#

ok but they are legit the only ones that are decently capable at holding a claim

#

yeah and etkw is like afk 99% of the time

#

and they move hq 😭

#

😭

#

like honestly though most on map guilds are completely clueless

#

It's so funny when they complain about em seeks

your snipe experience is just afking with guard so im not sure how much you know about using a brain 💔

timid raven
#

yeah cause every on map guild does suck and usually has a combination of

  1. afk and forgets to war
  2. lacks coordination and ecoing skills
  3. lacks build and strategies
  4. is filled with clueless people who aura fail

Lf logic and reasoning ong

timid raven

I have explained put forward all my reasonings and logic

pastel laurel
#

if "every on map guild sucks" then none of them suck?

timid raven
#

you guys have been the ones that just keep rage baiting and providing 0 argument

pastel laurel
#

like what's the standard?

weary thunder
#

We tryna understand u dawg

timid raven
pastel laurel
#

that's like saying everyone at the olympics sucks cuz they can't met xyz time

pastel laurel
#

u gotta have something to compare it to

weary thunder
#

Cyber i dont think ts guy wants to hold an actual convo

pastel laurel
#

like i would argue if a guild can hold a claim for 2-3+ seasons then they're very competent at holding a claim?

#

which is almost every on map guild

timid raven
timid raven
weary thunder
pastel laurel
#

obv we're gonna let new/inexperienced people war so they can learn

#

and they're gonna make mistakes

#

i mean we can lock in when needed

weary thunder
#

Ongobb

pastel laurel
#

but if someone snipes us we're not gonna automatically force every chief to come on

timid raven
weary thunder
pastel laurel
#

we sniped seq pretty flawlessly that one time, we missed 1 conn cuz i got voided when entering war but then we just 1 conned BT instead

#

we've also dry sniped a good bit

weary thunder
#

Drysnipes😛

pastel laurel
#

like 50% of the time our resnipes consist of at least 1captain

timid raven
pastel laurel
#

like idk what ur point is here

timid raven
#

😂

weary thunder
pastel laurel
#

yeah but we've also succeeded?

#

like idk what point ur tryna get across

#

just showing that people make mistakes?

timid raven
#

although then again

#

you guys are just baiting very clearly

pastel laurel
#

my point is that ur statement about every on map guild sucking at holding claims is false

weary thunder
pastel laurel
#

my evidence is that almost every on map guild has held their claim for multiple seasons

#

therefore, they don't suck at holding a claim

#

your evidence is that they fail snipes sometimes

timid raven
#

but hey

#

you don't got to listen to me

pastel laurel
#

like suck compared to who???

copper shell
#

ok you are getting this a bit wrong daniel

timid raven
weary thunder
#

To what standards are we on

copper shell
#

when you are attacking aeq you are playing your ground

#

you have all your ecoers on

#

aeq just has on whoever they have

#

so no they aren’t gonna have good eco

#

50% of the time

#

attacker guilds play at advantage 80% of the time

#

unless you are warring seq

timid raven
#

I mean

#

I solo war as well

#

I have taken 5 terr's from etkw before and they somehow lose 50% of their crop

copper shell
#

etkw don’t play during your time

#

they are legit asleep

timid raven
#

when they have people on

#

I swear

copper shell
#

they have like one braindead hours chief

#

maybe two

timid raven
#

even if your point is they don't have people on
doesn't that prove my point?

copper shell
#

what’s your point

#

that defender guilds suck at warring?

timid raven
#

and that its funny when they conplain about em seeks

#

because they put 0 effort in to warring

copper shell
#

that’s not true

weary thunder
copper shell
#

holding on map is literally all about effort

#

little skill involved

timid raven
#

ok little skill

#

thats my point

copper shell
#

just because they don’t have to be good doesn’t mean they suck

timid raven
#

99% of on map warrers just vlow spam and don't have jobs

weary thunder
#

What do you think guilds want emseeks for?

copper shell
#

ruwr suck ass

#

for example

copper shell
#

so you can fund your guild raiders?

weary thunder
copper shell
#

wow we funding warrers in the big 25?

#

wild

weary thunder
#

We would want to

pastel laurel
#

Aeq has weekly war payout!

copper shell
#

fair enough

#

you do?

pastel laurel
#

yeah

copper shell
#

damn we just do it for the love of the game

pastel laurel
#

only for top 5 tho

#

and it's not a lot 💔

copper shell
#

i would assume so

pastel laurel
#

but top warrer gets 1 stx, and then 32 LE and so on

copper shell
#

but either way the reason guilds had war payouts in the past is we used to ffa for sr

weary thunder
#

Its not a good system because there is no way for guilds to make money through guild activities 💔

pastel laurel
#

and then we also have warrer of the week which gets a stx

copper shell
#

but they replaced ffa with guild raids

#

which are kinda better

pastel laurel
#

at least graids give money

#

unlike warring 💔

weary thunder
#

Graids give fuckall 💔

#

But still more than wars🥀

copper shell
#

i mean if you are warring it’s kinda for the love of the game

weary thunder

Lf guild update

nimble marten
#

also are you talking about when u were in ico

copper shell
#

yeah

#

cotl 65

#

season 15

#

or was it 16

#

iono

nimble marten
copper shell
#

true but we would have won anyway

#

i did it for the love

#

i was number two wars that season

#

never again

#

terrible experience

#

also ffa is like

#

you can have one guy do it

#

infact that’s like almost what we had

#

but graids rewards massive guilds like seq with 30 slaves on at once

nimble marten
#

i got #2 wars in a season when we contested etkw for ragni

#

and snaked all day

#

both guilds

copper shell
#

i was so tilted when i found out this random taq player overtook me

#

it was very tragic

nimble marten
#

#1 was ico ffaer 😭

copper shell
#

homeless edgarius?

#

that guy was like my successor bro

#

him and the innoke

#

i quit ffaing and they took ALL the burden

#

i kinda created a super toxic ffa culture in ico icl

#

i’m very sorry for the brain damage i caused to those people

nimble marten
#

and i didnt even ffa that season

copper shell
#

it’s like irreparable innoke literally got banned because he said the nword in ano gc

#

oh prem

#

yeah that was way after i left

#

1.8k without ffa is wild

#

japanese gave yall a rough time
