Patch 1.20.1 Full Changelog

Pity cost implementation is still an omnishambles and today's war showed

Five guilds (TAq, PUN, NFR, ANO, Imp) surrounding EDN's HQ and taking it didn't wipe the guild; instead, it retreated to Olux, had its pity cost triggered (>32k per attack, and since we were raiding none of us have enough emeralds to carry on), and an hour later it is back up to half its terra claims because it's one of the most tryhard warring guilds rn.

Nine guilds (ERN, LXA, TAq, PUN, NFR, ANO, Fox, Ped, ILQ) were actively warring and not a single one of us can do anything to stop EDN from recuperating in a fraction of the time it took for us to siege it.

 

We also had to watch our claim crumble before our eyes because 1hour cede cd essentially renders our allies' support useless.

 

After we reclaimed all, TAq spawned on us and took 8 terrs b4 we could even take back one because of the cooldown of 10 mins. Also the guilds attacking eden could all plan their raid together while our goose allies can barely help since they cant cede us stuff back bc of 1 hour cede cooldown. We had a 1v5 because allies simply coudnt help.

 

you forget that before being able to make any meaningful progress at all, you and your alliance were warring against us for 18 hours.

________________________________

I don't speak for the entirety of Eden, but in my opinion, today's raid was a dub for you guys. You showed that no matter how long we have to prepare, we are always vulnerable to being wiped. But goes to show that when you lose, you just take it as an excuse to complain about game mechanics when for the better 3 quarters of the time you spent raiding us, your alliance was horribly coordinated and made tactically inept decisions that unnecessarily made it harder for yourselves.

 

Little did you know pity did not trigger until 18 hours into the raid, leaving us vulnerable to all attacks. On top of all the 1 hour cooldown on cedeing territories made our allies incapable of helping us.

 

Cheers EDN, points taken. This is my first war and I'm thankful for the different perspective of the conflict, and am slowly convinced that pity could be fair if we planned our attacks better.

Just a clarificatory point:

Just as how you don't speak for the entirety of EDN, I don't speak for the entirety of Artemis. I'm just a small subguild voicing a first impression after my first war experience. I don't follow my allies' conversations about 1.20 war implementation, but please be assured that this particular dissent comes not from us guys, but just my stupid ass.

 

I apologize for my generalization, I'm glad we were able to work this out in a constructive manner.
