NOTE: Participating in WoE is not mandatory. Your guild is still welcome even if you don't want to participate in War of Emperium.

Point WoE System FAQs:

  • You can freely pick an opposing guild to fight yours. Half of the points will be given to the Guild you picked if they win the Match.
    • If opponent wishes not to be picked, opponent need to pay 40 points and "Pick Your Opponent" guild user will fight the assigned opposing guild. (both losses points at this point. So, pick wisely!)
      • If picked guild don't have enough points, then you don't have a choice but to fight.
      • Guilds who paid 40 points to decline matches won't be able to use "Pick Your Opponent" option anymore.

I'm not on board with the current Free Pass. All wins should be EARNED during the GvG event itself. The whole point of having a separate tournament for GotM was so that two guilds could compete on a level playing field. The keyword here is compete. The two guilds should battle it out to determine a winner. Awarding a win by default effectively makes a match into a BO1, at least to the receiving end of Free Pass. The strength of a BO3 is that its good for being competitive. It encourages teams to play around their match-ups since a loss doesn't necessarily mean they are immediately out of the tournament. Considering that, and the fact that you are running a single elimination tournament here, you are basically saying that with Free Pass there is a possibility that a guild could be out of the tournament in Round 1 just by losing a game once. Seems counter-intuitive when the whole purpose of this was to promote competition, right?

I can't agree more. Not only do i think its unfair, its also unheard of in most competitive brackets. I get that high seeded teams get matched against low seeded teams but even the golden state warriors needs to win a bo7 vs trash tier teams. Not to mention those points are mostly accumulated by normal 15-30 member woes which will completely be a different story should they only have 10 members. There will also be a lot of what-ifs if you just let a bo3 end with a score of 1-1 which will defeat the purpose of determining the best 10v10 gvg team.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll do something about it and make sure to give a fair competition to all participants.

I'll bump this thread if I will do any changes later on and announce it in-game.

I'd like to offer an idea. For simplicity, I'm going to name this idea do-or-die.
Do-or-die forces one (1) additional game in a match. Once the game is played, the result is officially added to the match score.
If this results in a draw, a decider is played. The winner of the match moves on to the next round.

Example:
Guild A beats Guild B with the score of 2-1.
Guild B invokes do-or-die.
An additional game is played.
Guild B wins. Result is added to the match score making it 2-2.
Decider is played.
Winner advances to the next round.

This basically serves as a comeback mechanic for the participating guilds.

 

[Cynosure]

+1 to this instead of the free pass

This basically serves as a comeback mechanic for the participating guilds.

BTW @Rhen can we get an update for the scores? Thanks

This is actually a good idea but I can't enforce them like this when the Guild Cap and Alliances isn't yet fixed. I wanted it to be Quantity vs Quantity for the next Month's WoE Point System. I'll be borrowing this option, if you don't mind. This is the first time I am implementing WoE Point System, so feedbacks are really appreciated, thank you guys. <3

and @Cynosure, I'll update the points after this Tuesday's WoE.

Last feedback before the thread closes. Maybe we can make GvG events more consistent and rewarding.

To put it into context vs PvP events:
1. The last GvG event was around a year ago VS so many PvP events after launch alone
2. WoE attendance is around 50-100 VS 0-3 PvP players in the PvP room
3. Prizes for GvG are mostly ECs and expiring items VS exclusive headgears + ECs for PvP

We really appreciate the effort in making PvP relevant but i feel like GvG is soooo overlooked.

1. Yes, it's been a while since the last GvG event because reasons, I'm pretty sure you know the reason why, but don't worry we'll have GotM Event every Month. I'll be the one hosting it while Coojo is stuck with his PvP Events.

2. WoE attendance just spiked recently, 2 weeks ago, to be exact. The staff isn't favoring PvP Events, just because recently Pixellius' released the PvP ladder with rewards, but it looks like you missed out the intention of implementing GvG ladder soon.

3. Okay, the reason behind why *I* didn't include exclusive headgear is solely because we just had a PvP Event this month and oh boy, the prizes are quite big. I am trying not to destroy the market community by giving out more event credits/donation credits. There will be adjustments with GotM Events in the future and one thing I can assure you, the prizes are one of them.
