Week 1 of PvP - The Prisoner, Attack Lists, and Pay to Win

[gmac]

i'm stuck at aprox. 1900 since monday morning. i grind up revege several times for 20 points just to fall down again. really discuraging for me. about 160 attacks so far. i play all free sow and lost 1 attack(mostly playing higher ranks) ! so what more should i do to climb up?

no chance that i will spend a dime while the system is so bad. but i belive they are working on it, and we will see some improvements soon. call me an optimist :P

I suffered 189 attacks, little behind slauki with 1850 pts. Saving my Ironite for Saturday... or maybe next week.

I hope that there is some clarification on this.

I´m mad I was attacked way less, spending the most Ironite last week. If this is the current system this is just wrong.

Nice to have you as a trooper, man.

Cheers

So is it 50/50 flip of the coin to see who goes first ? Because I'm really feeling like I should be counting how many times I yell when the defense goes first. The beta from what I heard was heavy favor to the offensive going first, or it just went first all the time idk. So is it 50/50 or do I have no luck ?

I think is 50/50 if you do enough matches, but it sure fells like we are going second all the time. LOL

I think our brains are programmed to register ours losses more. (I really believe that)

I have been attacked 210 times so far this week :/

I'm in the same boat but a bit lower. The first week I tried but stopped after the middle as I wasted ressources going nowhere. Just interested in the Coins at the moment.

I seem to be doing better on attack this week after bringing in a HH. But my defence has fallen from 25% (not brilliant either) to 19%. I made a few little changes to the defenders (including a Prisoner and Warrior Troll) so for me the Prisoner delate is not really that valid as mine is getting owned a fair bit by lots of folk. What I know is that if I go first on attack I have not lost this week yet - if I go second it is tougher depending on the strengths of the other team. I am really not spending much on this - usually a refill a day as well as the odd free shots after getting 10 wins in a row....I still enjoy it and curse when I get owned, but that is what keeps us playing I am sure!

I really hope they do make it better for all - I think the AI is poor for sure - it needs to play smarter if this is the future of the game as my defence is not that different to my attack team and it clearly gets flattened a lot! I think I need to work on my defence and need to add in some skill shards too!

I am not sure how other games do this sort of thing but I play another game, Angry Birds Transformers and it does loads of special events, almost daily or over a period of days and when you battle others for prizes it seems to log when you start that days battles so you are only ever against the people who are playing or start playing the same time as you - this means you can sleep and not get destroyed. It must be possible as that is a really old game so cant imagine it is massive....yet I still play it most days to collect different characters and up my standing.....it works very well.

There at bound to be other games that have this sort of approach so that different parts of the world can sleep without being pushed way down the lists.

I am getting hit a lot more this compared to last and that is all good. As I have said I still like this but at the moment it is just to get coins and bonuses as not got the time to get high on the rankings and not sure it is worth it though I do want to get any achievements that are set so my time for a push will come I am sure.

Strange statistics throughout the thread... so I thout I'll share my stats too... (no screenies, sorry I'm not a youngster to know how to do that ) anyway :
- I play full free, using all the possible SoW.
- I have no prisoner
- last week stats :

Attack Wins: 86% (64/74)
Defense Wins: 15% (3/20)
final rank : 277

- this week (so far)
Attack Wins: 76% (73/96)
Defense Wins: 18% (5/28)
current rank : 148

The ratio of attack / defense is very noticable compared to what others are reporting...

To me enemies owning prisoners are less of a problem... rather I'm sort of frustrated of the SSD/Mummy taunt-lock. It's annyoing because it takes the control out of your hand and the computer plays against the computer... it tells me I'm not even needed to play to game when I want to play the game (I know the sentence makes little sense... so does the whole mechanism).
