Nation Wars - Skewed Nations Everytime

You are correct that the nations with larger numbers tend to be weaker. I've been observing that trend for months. You can usually pick out the strongest nation a few minutes after the beginning by looking at which nation has the least players.

my thoughts to "fix" this issue are a combination of many ideas below

1) limit sqd size to 6 for NW
- 6 would still be too much, limit it to 2 or 3 max imo

2) add 2 more nations with names like Heaven and Earth allowing more dispersion of players
- pretty much solved by allowing only squads of 2-3 persons, more nations would only nerf the rewards for people who dont log alts to stand AFK in battle, which happens too much

3) raise NW level of access to Level 80 or perhaps like Aware of Vacuity
- Perhaps, imo raise it to level 100.

4) sort out a IP limiting feature where as only 1 account per IP address idk
- This won't work, like everything where people mention limiters per IP adress, it's simply not the way to go, there could be more than 1 person in a household that plays pwi connecting through the same IP.

5) assign nations based on total "refines" and/or "soul force" and/or "spirit"
- I'm not sure what you mean with this, but if you mean put people in nations based on soulforce, that would bring immense imbalance

6) have a "active" feature that will kick from NW if players do not have more than 20 minutes without dealing damage
- Agreed

just a few thoughts

limiting the nw squads to the normal 6 might be more of a detrement than a solution since alot of squads do squad up with faction and friends for nw. so i dont think lowering the squad size would help since it would just cause the same problems that we currently have.

2) add 2 more nations with names like Heaven and Earth allowing more dispersion of players

adding 2 more nations would just decrease the numbers even smaller and would also cause a possible shut out for 2 out of the 6 nations. not all servers have alot of ppl per server now since most have quit or left pw over some pw **** up.

3) raise NW level of access to Level 80 or perhaps like Aware of Vacuity

I do think this would work since those that are lvl 60s-70s hardly get to do much in nw with em always constantly being one shotted by a 100+. But some of the 60s-70s do end up getting alot more tokens then the 100s.

4) sort out a IP limiting feature where as only 1 account per IP address idk

already been replied to by others.

5) assign nations based on total "refines" and/or "soul force" and/or "spirit"

the randomization of nations is already being done by soulforce, plus with spirit would just ruin it even more.

6) have a "active" feature that will kick from NW if players do not have more than 20 minutes without dealing damage

this one wouldnt even work at all period, all they would be is an easy target for other players to target till they get kicked out with their 6 spawn limit. Plus alot of players want to stay in nw, not to be kicked from it if ya dont deal dmg. If someone does leave nw, they cant return to it anyway so whats the point of making a feature like that when it would only hurt nations.

just a few thoughts

Furthermore,

How about getting rid of "squads" completely

how bout we dont get rid of squads completely, squads are the only way of communication between friends and faction.

Try this............

Everyone that gets the NW script gets sent to various nations independently of others (random)

Can squad with others once inside and use buffs

all players talk to NPC for buffs of level 10 for no charge

all players can opt for Sage or Demon buffs at 10k coins (1 hour duration unless killed)

anyone can get sage or demon buffs if they have someone in squad with em already. the npc buffs from the overseer is plenty enough.

all players have full health and full sparks upon entering

then why have charms to use in nw if you would be getting full health and sparks upon entering anyway. Plus theres also such a thing as herbs and apoth remedies for sparks.

Spawn points have protective AOE auras that will kick offenders back to base
(no more spawn killing)

no dice on this one period, would only hurt the nations in battles. If you want to get rid of spawnkillling, then i suggest have pw put in a feature where 4 out of the 5 spawn areas are considered a safe zone for 60secs before it switches over to a killable zone. that way anyone entering has bout 40secs to leave the spawn area before anyone can atk em. Plus this safe zone spawn area would also work when someone dies and gets ported back to the spawn area. Theres also one other part to this safe zone idea that needs to be taken into consideration. If anyone enters the spawn area wont get the safe zone message just so a player can stand there, go afk and not get hit. So this idea makes it unable to get spawnkilled, but also not able to abuse the safe zone.
