[VC] Guild Wars Open Discussion

1.free for all? Its up to the guild leader who lets a low level into their guild to keep them informed. If said lower level is unfortunate enough to join a guild whos leader dont care about their members...then that player can leave that guild and the attacks will cease after 24 hrs. Myself...I attack players such as this 5 times and then leave them alone

2. You obviously have jealousy issues when it comes to the higher levels....Taking away anything they have earned is simply ridiculous. Attacking, slapping and listing was the reason for war guilds....if ya dont like it ...GET OUT!

3. This makes absolutely no sense.....If are ahead in the standings....chances r very likely that who have taken on every guild in the wars....and deserving of your rank.

4. You just dont get it....the situation u just cited sounds like great strategy....especially if used by the lower levels and players who dont spend as much time on the game. Dont forget that u still get points for losses.

5. You r obviously a simpleton who wants to be able to click away limitlessly without repercussions. Man up and play the game, we at the higher levels didnt just wake up one day and find ourselves at our current levels....We alll started at level 1 and had to go through all the same crap as everyone else....but rather than cry about it we used it as motivation to climb the ranks and exact our revenge

 

There is a filter...its called a moderator. Foul language is clearly not allowed as stated in the TOU

 

pimp

even though your a rival

seems we agree on alot

 

I haven't read this morning so hope I am not repeating... but I have two questions:

1) I understand why you changed the base bounty price issue... although I wasn't bountied as much as others (kind of surprised btw) I can understand why the really popular folks would be upset by the exp loss. So, instead of changing the base bounty price feature why can't you change the exp lost by the Viking for the 1 war bounty allowed?? Bounty hunting is funnnnnnn... being bountied can be fun if you not freaked out by having to hit heal button afterwards and continue playing. By taking away the base bounty price feature it puts a lot of lower levels at disadvantage when they finally were in the position to bounty someone that has been terrorizing them for ever just cause they went after their bounty, etc. The base bounty price option levels playing field once a day in war mode in my opinion.

2) On the slap request list.. the slapper's guild is identified, the slappee guild is not.. so for instance I slapped by accident an alliance guild member last night and he still seems a little pissed, even though I healed for him and said oops sorry mistake. So, can you add the tag to slappe's on slap request list????

Thanks for your consideration!!

 

If base bounty costs were kept, jumping in and out would allow you list multiple people at their base and then not be open for the same retaliation, that is what i meant by abuse.

 

Well... don't let em jump in and out??? put restriction of 24 hours on being able to get new war points....???

 

@Dutchman - thanks for taking the time to comment.

Please see our original post to the start of this thread for why Wars was being introduced, I have copied the highlight here:

"What issues were we looking to address with this feature?
We wanted to address player complaints about PVP fighting being neglected. With additions of challenges and bosses, many players felt that we have been ignoring PVP fights (attacks, slaps, bounties). Increase PVP opponents for those looking for more.
We wanted to address complaints from players that they were being over attacked / bullied by other players.
Better align players in a Guild with their interests in the game (boss killing, PVP fighting, etc). There has always been a grey area with respect to Guilds, some use it for wars, others use it to meet new players, others use it to work together to get gamer points, others use it for additional help, and some use for all of the above. The grey area has caused issues which was the reason for us adding in Guild privacy in the past.

Why 5 attacks:
To entice more people of varying game play to enter into a war. Withstanding 5 attacks from a really high level opponent should be more bearable but still has risk of death in those 5 attacks. Retaliation window would open if player attacks back.
Overall goal is to have more players participating so finding the balance between rewards and consequences is what we are currently trying to do.

How does Guild Wars address the concerns/complaints above?
Guild Wars is a feature that is targeted at PVP enthusiasts. Some of the restrictions/protection like increasing Bounty costs are removed within the daily limit of Guild War participants. Higher XP rewards for fighting, slaps and bounties against players that are in a Guild at War is increased to offer compensation for the likelihood that you will be taking on more deaths as a consequence of participating in a Guild War.
PVP enthusiasts that "over attack" and go after other Guilds not interested in PVP will now have an arena that they can compete against other like minded Guilds. The incentives offered in the Guild Wars are enough to get players that are interested in PVP to participate in the War and focus less on those players that are not interested
Guild Rival list is a new concept. For those that are at War, any player that attacks a member of your Guild that is also in a Guild at War will be added to your Guilds rival list which will open that player up for attacks and ability to get points from.

We will make necessary adjustments to this feature to find the balance where it is fun for everyone to compete in, but have no mistake about it, Guild Wars should not be the faint of heart and not be for those that think getting slapped/bountied or attacked by any other player at War is unfair or bullying, it is an open arena, and open competition."

 

Again, Guild Wars was not built for everyone, it was targeted towards those PvP enthusaists that don't mind taking a death and bounties against there character.

Please have a read through the original post to this thread, we tried to state clearly why this feature was added and who it was targeted for.

 

There should be no time limit on removing from Guild Wars, I have a developer looking into it right now. That should have been removed same day it was released.

 

i have no problem with them attacking me as its part of it! i think is a good new feature. its just that several people are able to attack me 10-15 times in a row!! thats what i dont understand when u said they cant! i dont attack them back either!!

 

all our guild has decided to leave the wars for the same reasons dylan j robinson has stated! but when we tried to leave we have to wait another 22 hours before we can!!!!

 

Didn't run from anything, JJ. Not what my guild wanted. they tried it out and found they didn't like. Nothing wrong with that at all. Not embarrassed in the least. I'm actually benefitting greatly by not being in it. So in that regards I thank kano for it. Have a nice day "moderator"..lmao

 

and remember. If you decide to leave the guild wars. pimps will call you cowards and not a true leader...lmao Some "moderator".......

 

Thanks for input, responses are above.

 

As mentioned previously, the time to wait to leave is no longer active, you should be able to leave immediately. Please try again, if you can't leave please let me know the name of your Guild and social network you are on so we can take a look.

 

Nothing wrong with that at all. Do you have any feedback on the feature? It was intended for those guilds that have built themselves for War and other reasons as stated in the first post in this thread.

 

Responses are above.

 

Kendall... the Slap request list on social page of VC... on the drop down menu??? If you look it has the person who is req the slap helps guild TAG but the person you are going to slap no guild tag... so, I slapped alliance member just because i didn't realize he was in alliance guild and cause all sorts of problems.. if we could add the guild tag to the "slappee" make life a little easier..

 

We are having discussion in my armada right now about Wars feature... heck, I am having fun as hell and a few on this list beating crap outta me no problem... but last night, a clan member in enemy guild sent a "what was that for message" to one of our players who was just playing the game, nothing personal.. i contacted the clan member and he had not been informed of the rules of the game.. i gave him this link...... SOOOOOO my point is that if we like this feature, we need to help make sure our clan (not just armada) but our clan fully understands how this works.. ESPECIALLY for lower levels... i really don't believe it is a big deal to be attacked 5 times/ slapped 4 times/ bountied 1 time in a day (esp if there can be an adjustment to exp lost for war bounties IMHO) ...

but lowers need to understand that they get to do same thing now to a level 10k, put away their gold if they don't want to lose it on those 5 attacks, and NOW they get exp hitting that level 10k that they never got before, they get exp for those 4 slaps... and yeah a lot of them not gonna be able to afford the base bounties of upper levels.. but it gives them something to work towards..... what they need to really be informed about is that after the 5 attacks/4 slaps.. STOP.. window closes for 24 hours so they don't have to worry about that viking till next day..

i am sorry but i disagree with everyone that is just bashing.. people are having fun, developers are tweaking ... and remember it is a game.. it is up to individual player how they play.. ME? if i decide to continue slapping a 4200 after my alloted attacks/slaps then hell I am asking for it??? no biggie (HEAL BUTTON IS MAGIC)

I now have a whole bunch of new rivals.. no one is making me declan clan in enemy guilds.. i mean.. sheesh NOW WE HAVING FUN!!!!!!!

 

Ahhh gotcha, I thought we had that included, will add that to our list.
