What's RPK?

Random PK.

And if devs think this will spur more action, how many lower factions will even bid on a land for possibly 140 mirages or whatever?

LOL why every1 QQ about tw system now? I'm we ALL knew it's coming

Filter circumvention is a banable offence - Ary

Hey guyz dun worry!

If we give PW even more of our $$ and buy enough warsouls, maybe they won't completely **** over PvE too!

PWE just owned his **** off lol

TW is dead, the irony since you said it will be more "competitive" and **** now.

Nobody will bother to TW except the heavy cashshoppers who can afford charms without caring about the costs.

Great way to kill the game since TW was one of the only things interesting going on for most people. After you're losing half or more of the population and your sales don't wonder why and remember this post.

I have never TW'd. Ever. I had been considering joining a TW faction for fun, but for the most part I wanted to stay out of the huge drama and QQ fest that TW typically ended up being.

However, even with my lack of any TW experience, I can see how this is going to seriously **** the game over.

1) The new bidding system is the biggest pile of **** I have ever seen. Secret bids? You're basically asking every faction to make a guess at a good bidding price and hope that they get it right. What's worse is that you now can't be refunded on this money.

I appreciate you didn't code this, but do me and everybody else a favour: tell the devs they officially suck at finding solutions to this game's issues.

First it was decomposing your gear that was nerfed.
Then it was DQ that was nerfed.
Now it's TW that's been nerfed.

What's next? Mobs stop dropping coins altogether because god forbid a bot's farming monsters for coins?

2) Mirages for owning a land? Seriously. Rank IX gear I can understand, but mirages?

You understand that this is basically asking for people to bid anywhere up three, four times the amount of money they're going to get to fight for a land in the first place? Seriously?

The devs need a damned IQ test, because this is idiocy beyond their typical standard. I foresee a large number of factions dropping out of TW because of this change. Guess who else this screws over, by the way. It screws you as the company over, because you're about to see a substantial drop in the number of people charging zen. Who needs charms now? Hell, you've just brutally destroyed TW, I can even see people not bothering to refine their gear heavily any more because TW is no longer something they will be doing.

This change doesn't affect me. I can carry on playing like nothing much every really happened. But I really pity everybody else who this does effect, and I would like to congratulate the devs on proving what a bunch of morons they all are.

I love you.

I dont even TW and i dont understand why they did this, it makes no logical sense whatsoever.. u *bid* to attack a territory controlled by whatever faction, if some other faction leader outbids you, you lose your factions money and have to explain to all your members that contributed that "Oh i'm sorry, your 2mil donation to TW has been stolen by the server cuz we were outbid, now we have to raise more money and bid again if we wanna tw"... and uhh, 300 mirages for a reward really?? at 10k per mirage this doesnt seem to me to be even close to the "FactionX has paid xMil coins to declare war on FactionY's territory of.." i regularly see broadcasted.. assuming that your territory is even one of the random ones selected for the reward.. i think all this is gonna acomplish is makin lvl3 facts not even wanna tw anymore, and the territory map will remain as-is, be it mostly dominated by one faction as it is on my server, or whatever. PWI i love you but, this seems highly illogical to me, tho i may be wrong and this may have some sort of benefits i cannot see as of yet.. i certainly hope so, i was kinda lookin forward to tryin out a tw when i reach the proper level.

Maybe TW for fun rather than the money Smokey ?

money is a nice incentive, i dont tw for it, never have. it ruins a factions incentive to bid, and buy charms etc. bidding wars are over. buying charms for it are over. you're a smart guy. your just trolling me. dont let those new additions corrupt your organization.

in all likelyhood the devs just handed even more of an upper hand to enrage, which isnt good for competition, or fun tw, or for their bottom line. its pretty clear they want to chase people away from TW just in time to catch them with forsaken world.

i'd say its a pretty crappy strategy, since history repeats itself, anyone going from pw to fw can just expect the same deal in 2 years. Press "O" to access the boutique.

the only reason you should be mad about the TW changes is if your greedy. back when i was in Varden i was making 500k a week from tw but it wasnt fun getting rolled in 5 mins every time. now im in a noob tw guild that dont hold any land but we may be attacking this week and its not for the money, its for the fun of it.

Do you go through 3 platinum charms a TW? Oh, you don't? Good now you can proceed to gtfo b:bye

I got married on April 25th to an Archer char name ... AL ... it has been a wonderful experience. The quests were a bit of a struggle at first until we found our nitch. As long as we don't trade lead or die we usually get it done in a timely manner. The other couples are pleasant and I even give buffs to them. I do recommend it if you find a great grinding partner. Who knows maybe some of our alts will marry each other.

Those of you saying that you should TW for fun and not be greedy:

I have never received a cent of TW pay in my entire game life. I have never been purchased a charm, given pots, or compensated in any way for my TW expenditures. What's more, I have spent my own cash on charms, etc., in order to TW. I really, really enjoy TW.

But I would never, EVER ask my faction to throw away the sums of money it takes to TW without ANY chance of getting it back EVEN IF THEY WIN just for "fun."

THAT, if anything, is selfish and greedy.

The new TW pay "incentive" will show who is TWing for the fun and who was in it for just the money.

I expect the TW scene to slowly rot away now.
