Nation wars

And now you just let everyone who goes on forums and didn't know about this know about it...congratz. People do this anyway for other events. You can have as many accounts as you want up. Legally it's 2. But others do more.

I dont think someone is dumb enough to dont figure this...
oh wait...

and if you are really smart you will squad your alts into a seperate squad so they all go to a different nation than your main...thereby gimping your opponet:)

dont afk alts get nothing?

I tried it. Afk alts dont get rewards. Doesnt work. b:bye

whats worse is when these 'tards afk in the fighting instance. How much IQ does it take for them to realize that
less active people in 1 instance = the more your own faction gets their *** handed to them cause your taking up space that someone useful might have occupied = less contribution on a wholeb:cry

Lets change the name of this event for "Alts war"

i dont think there is a way to definitely do that. (put it on opposing nation) You might end up having it backfire on your own nation.
(entering from diff. cities doesnt land you on diff. nations)

75% chance to gimp enemy, 25% chance not, seems reasonable. Regardless...

u actually need to participate to get rewards...

I afk'd half the first time this happened on Friday night. I got no reward, and my nation did rather well.

The people you saw standing around might've been players that couldn't get anywhere

I know I waited awhile to get to any fights because they were all full or out of reach

I stated this in another thread but according to the OP, DWs participation 2.5k+ is more than the number of 2 other big servers combined...which is just not logical. so there may be some discrepancies in the original calculation b:surrender

I have not done any of these wars yet but if it is based on contribution like tiger event for example u need 200 points PQ 1k I think but if at the end there is random cont everyone gets reward. I am assuming everyone gets some cont for capturing flag or defending so at the end everyone pass the 200 points you need for reward if it is not everyonegets reward by just getting in.
this event need be at least 5k contribution to get a reward and get some points for assist killing someone

So after last Sunday and this Sunday's Nation Wars, I have noticed something that made me question how the scoring for each nation was done.

Mainly in the credit department. From what I have noticed, if a nation does well early on (get 40-50% of all the territories) and holds them for about 30-40 minutes from the start, even if they lose every single one of those lands, they will still win the nation wars after the entirety of the two hours passed.

Is this intentional? I've been in nations that had this happen to them, and in nations that did poorly at start, but dominated half the map in the end, only to lose in the end.

For example, last Sunday, the Light Nation did poorly at the start, losing all but about 5-6 lands. After about an hour, the Light Nation came back and by the 1 hour 30 minute mark, the Light Nation had conquered over 50% of all the territories on the map, and was continuing. After the war ended, with Light Nation covering over 50% of the map, Light Nation only got 3rd place.

The same thing happened this Sunday. Early on, the Frost Nation dominated early on and covered about 40-45% of all the land on the map for the first hour. Afterwards the Dark and Light Nations fought back, and by the 1 hour 30 minute mark into the wars, the Frost Nation lost all but 2-3 of their lands for the rest of the war, but they still got first place, whereas the Flame Nation was doing well later on and got last place.


If that's the case then how can any nation conquer the leader then? The lead nation can just capture 50% of the map within the first hour, then just afk in base and get first place by the time the wars end.

It's just I feel sorry for the nations that are losing early on, but are strong by the time war is about to end. I've been in both situations, moreso in the dominate-first nations, but I just wanted to know if anyone knows more information about this, or tried to interpret it.

its most likely possible that {PWi} has it rated not only for the amounts of time that a nations held territories but also won back map territories multiple times as part of its rewards ratings...


same thing hapened friday on (HT Server) with fire nation, for quite awhile we had a 3 way gank going on us by the other 3 nations, but won back a crapload of the territories we had originally and then some..... And we still didn't get 2nd place even though, I believe it was (light nation) on (HT) lost a massive amount of their territorial holdings in the latter 3rd of the NW (becoming the least seen color on the map) in the end.... b:surrender

It does seem odd, but I think u get pts based on each land u capture. so the winning side grabs a ton in the beginning, but as it plays out, the other 3 sides take them back. and split the total among them.

so while the original nation that took a large chunk may end up with very few lands left, they still leads based on number of lands captured. Not held.


at least thats how I have been seeing it.

To me that makes no sense, because what about the nations that do poorly at the beginning with only 4-6 lands, and then captures over half of the map by the 1.5 hour mark? Their credit stays low and they end up losing, regardless.
