So, with the addition of the 3 stam slider, BA has dramatically decreased in total time to complete. What use to be at least a 36+ hour affair is now at 90% completion in roughly 3 hours and is complete in no more than 12. As to not penalize the defensive builds, I do not want to decrease the amount of total time in defense stance as it relates to the BA projected event which is currently 72 hours (3 days). What I would propose is that the BA as a whole, be dropped down to a 24 hour event. Everybody's personal build will still give them the appropriate amount of kill power, defense power, defense time..... but the amount of time to actually play it to receive the achievements will be increased, promoting the idea of participation for rewards, rather than just handing them out like candy at Halloween. This doesn't alter any game function. Doesn't effect anyone in any major way other than to (again) promote the idea of participation for rewards. In a 12 hour event (rough estimate of previously completed BA's, about the last 4-5-6) to have 4,5 hours of defense time is almost ridiculous. Understanding that your defense timer is not be penalized, but rather proportioned more appropriately to the suggested 24 hour window as opposed to the 72 hour window is key here.
This could also be kinda used to 'kick off' or 'end' a FW event, as opposed to being ran simultaneously.
gave it a 10 They might aswell shorten it as it's clear that despite so much negative feedback... the 3 attack slider isn't going anywhere
I really dont see what all the hoobleh about 100 or so maybe getting 2 extra levels a month for having a really awesome defense build. You can make 20 million XP for playing... So what if they get 400k for doing nothing? No matter what, there are only so many people playing battle arena, and there are going to be a group of people that make it into the reward tier for doing nothing... so whats the big deal about it being the actually most defensive players? Having people popping out of defense one at a time actually makes a strategy to the end of the game, yeah there is a bit of waiting, but really the game is going plenty fast enough. If you chop down the highest defenses, you also chop down the lower defenses too. Personally, I need my 1 hour of defense its my only ace in the hole to make up for the fact that im not in a faction with two handfuls of players to back me up if Im under fire. Im just fine with the way it is.
