at around 5:40 you describe the points per upgrade rank, but you state Iron I is one point. Have you discounted Stone rank for the purposes of counting? or was that an omission on the voice over? Also, how much exactly are you adding for the Diamond ranks? Love the sheets and making use of it for myself and to help my guild out :D great job.

Ah yeah, that was me just being half asleep. It starts at stone 1. Diamond gets 18, 20 and 25 instead of 16, 17 and 18

They need to make things easier on guild leaders. We need to see who has enlisted at a glance. We need to be able to view whole rosters, instead of just arena squads. I’d like to at least know how many attacks a defensive squad has fought off, and being able to watch battles live or watch replays would be fun. Data, like how many tokens people have spent and which ones still have tokens left would be quite helpful. Even knowing stats of who got how many points, who killed how many characters, etc. we don’t have any of that and it would make my life easier and more enjoyable.

Exiles represent!

I really wish someone would address how broken the Matchmaking System is. Currently Enlisted Power is the most governing stat with Rank as the secondary. But you will only be matched against similar Enlisted Power, unless you are the odd man out for that Battlefield Level or no one around your range chose it. Currently, all guilds should choose Battlefield Level 5 (reaching no where close to the Rarity Caps) because you will be matched to Enlisted Power. Instead Battlefield 1-3 should have their Rarity Caps “scaled down”, multipliers reduced also. A Guild that wins a War in Battlefield 1 should score less than a Guild that loses a Battlefield Level 2 War. A guild full of level 20 players should able to barely WIPEOUT Battlefield level 1. What player level do you need to be to have a team of “Maximized Epic Capped” characters? So why does Battlefield 1 have so many Epic Caps? Every War there should be a WIPEOUT on both sides and the winner is who could progressed furthest. It should also be possible to defend with maximized Rarity Capped Characters too. Guild leaders should be calculating how they could or should have chose the next higher Battlefield bc they would have gotten more leaderboard points. If SP scaled down the Caps then matchmaking could and should only be determined by Rank and the Battlefield Level you chose. It doesn’t make sense that “weaker guilds” have higher Leaderboard standing than strong guilds solely because they are only facing similar (lower) Enlisted Powers. For the next Guild War Season, you use the previous Leaderboards for the first War.

No need to ever apologise for having a discussion! That’s all really interesting points. I will say that both of our first wars have been incredibly close and I was thinking the matchmaking had been good so far, so personal experience has been good atm. That doesn’t mean I think it’s good or not, I just don’t have enough experience yet to form an opinion! One thing for sure though is that the developers are watching, listening and looking at all the data and I expect changes to come for sure around all aspects of the mode until it’s settled.

So for Battlefield Level 1 I noticed this War that SP switched a Rare Cap to Uncommon. So 1 Epic, 1 Rare, and 3 Uncommon. I’m certain Guilds in the top 600s won’t be seeing this problem. But just consider what newer Guilds and especially new players are encountering. I’m level 23 and I don’t even fill in my best characters into the Epic slot bc Epic Quality can attack them. It’s much smarter for me to have a robust Rare defense than a weak Epic team. Thanks for responding. You’re my favorite Content Creator bc of how you impressive your “deep dives” are. Your videos have helped me so much and I rewatch to squeeze all the data I can.

​@@DBPreacherTacticus finding the right level is worth more than the "going for the best multiplier". I mean there are around 500 guilds in lvl 4 and 5 combined. Yet a "mid class" guild in lvl 3 is rank 261. Hell we have 3 guys that can barely put up 3 Teams for defense. So basically, about half the guilds in lvl 4 and 5 lose too much points by not advancing far enough through the Areas.

Guild leader of a newcomer friendly guild here. Lvl3 too (yep the core is strong enough). I have 2 Members, relatively new. Not enough chars for 10 tokens. Yet i encourage to try and get some war currency early on. The whole guild looks out for "easy pickings" they can take. Saves a token and they get points and experience in this mode. For obvious reasons i will keep what we learned so far to myself. Overall i like the Guild War. There are things that could be added or made better. The War Status (little round button in the upper left) not working yet is a bit sad. The missed opportunity to give Officers a bit of "power". And the, by now well known, missing feature of setting a priority target. And to be honest, i think the medicae is a bit overkill with the 60%. 30% would do it too. Or 40%.

@DBPreacherTacticus

3 ай бұрын

Yep I agree with all of that! The medicae is crazy. I feel like I am constantly getting one shotted

Short Version: It doesn't feel fun and it's a lot more work than it should be. Long version: It's very clear we are play testing this, at the moment It hasn't been a great experience. my guild is top 150 performer in Guild Raids ranging from level 43 -53. We tried Level 5 and got smashed into the ground. Same on Level 4. When most of your players have one diamond team max and your opponent has most locations blocked by at least one team of Diamond 1-2's with an extra 60% health and then the artillery and anti-air craft thrown in. If you guess wrong on where the medical is you're done. Also, it's very dependent on the guild leaders to know what the levels of power the teams have to distribute them in the right way, but I imagine you can only see the top 5 they currently use in arena and what they have put in to defend but that is based on the locations level caps. The other issue is you are trying to co-ordinate people via a chat that some don't use or a discord which again some don't use. We ended up with tokens not used in both runs so far (more in the second than the first and we'd gone down a level) I imagine that it's because people looked at the power level of the opponents and thought what's the point. Legendary is an inherent issue G1 to Diamond is a massive gap maybe they should limit Diamond to Level 5. In fact I think scrap a level and have Level 4 cap Diamond, Level 3 Gold, Level 2 Silver, Level 1 Bronze as your caps might work better.
