Which nation war to choose?

Jaabg - Sanctuary

We have three options

1) crystals
2) flag grab
3) towers

I stuck mostly with crystals, fights were 4~8 minutes, i got 1k points consistently. I had 13k score this time.

I don't like flag grabs, too few people, and when people see 1 vs 8, the 8 give up and just do nothing. One person won that fight.

Towers = fun, but people really need to learn how that fight works.

Next nw i am sticking with crystal battles only, i don't care about the rest. 13k, and i got 100 tokens, I fail to see how the scores work out now. Number of people attending is similar, scores, lands are higher, should technically get more tokens, but it doesn't seem like it.

Now i can afford to go uncharmed in this nw by choosing the crystals and tower fights.

So far i am liking the new nw, but i feel sad, there were a few fights where i one shot the 1vs1 competition in the crystal fights. One crystal fight was fun, near the end. It was 1 vs 1, and i managed to get all 5 crystals. My score stopped at 70, other people showed up and i let them win, because there were only 3 minutes left and i couldn't reclaim the crystals to win. In that battle i still ended up with 688 score. For me crystals fights = least charm, pot cost+max reward.

what lands are you planning on choosing, and why?

I'm with you, crystal lands are the best for cost/reward ratio. I ran into a OP squad last night so I burnt a lot of charm. Sunday I'm going to try and go in solo and just try and pick up lands with crystals as much as I can, save on apoth and charm. With the expanded lands it allows a person to go solo and still get a good amount of contribution without large fights. I'm still up in the air about how I like the new map, it has it's pros and cons. Until I figure out the best way for NW to be cost effective I'm not sure how much more I will go to it.

Yeah definitely not Capture the Flag one.

Crystal is prolly the best bet for it's ratio and how fun it can be taking crystals.

Bridge? I went to be a scrub and went to where the enemy drops down at (after respawning) and just...

I guess you can say spawn kill.

Onatop - Lost City

anything but Bridge battle, aka towers. As a close range class u'll get ***** when towers debuff u. Flag battle is fine. I get 900 points per solo war. Crystal is worth the most map credits also, and towers the least LOL. take your pick.

Jaabg - Sanctuary

Bridge fight went fine for me. Sure i used to get 2~6 debuffs at the same time, but i was in 5 aps gear, so i sparked 1~3 seconds after i got debuffed. It turned into a mess when the other side showed up and decided to kill players, even though we had one tower left. Once they couldn't find us, because we stayed at the top, they just hung around until timer finished. That is why i don't like bridge fights, people just think everything is a pk fest.

The above works in crystals. People had me chasing all over the map, after i had gotten 4 crystals, i was on my flyer the whole time, while i got my score. Sadly someone with brains came in near the end and took my towers b:chuckle.

I wonder if crystal fights will be more intense now? and other fights less so?

XCableX - Archosaur

I think the crystal needs a bit more fixing I suppose. Tonight, half my team went to take crystals and the other half went with me to their spawn point area (when you leave that spot). All we did was kill and kill... being scrubs and what not.

Then I realized, when the enemy got 1 of us down... we just respawned where we died but with immunity buff and the buffs you usually come out with in Flag map. So idk if that's suppose to be a 'really good thing' because people who are being scrubs like me just come back to life and kill everyone again.... near their spawn point.

Jaabg - Sanctuary

Odd, when i died in crystal fights i spawned near the start point where we enter from.

Crystal fights seem to be the future until server vs server fights come about. I was about an hour late, still managed 12k contribution like last time. Next time i'll see how the crystals get me if i get there on time.

Even though our nation was a close second, score of 12.4k got me 101 tokens. I am happy, i don't use a charm anymore, and i take fewer pots to live. I used a 50k charm, that got burned in a flag fight, but otherwise things were good.

Let's see if other people have other ideas for other fights.

I did take part in on flag fight, and i got 1.6k from that fight, i usually get 500~900 in flag fights, so it might be that points are redistributed as well. It was a 30 vs 25 affair.

Just remember you can fly in the crystal map. I see people who get across the map by running "/" way and then "\" way. I'm like...

Just fly over lol.

Jaabg - Sanctuary

wouldn't mounts be faster to reach the 2nd crystal?

I double holy path from the left or right crystal to the middle one, i use cloud sprint+holy path to get to the other side. This way i can get to all 3 crystals before most of the other people.

I prefer not to use accelerate on my sword.

Well, you may be right. I'll prolly try to time it to see if it works. Nation's map is so big I'm bound to have 0 enemies in it.

I just fly over, I think it could be better for 4.8 m/s players who don't have sprints like us.

Or... Reel In Targets from the ground from the sky. Since below is a pit of lava that probably doesn't do anything to you, they'll have fun hanging out down there.b:chuckle
