Week 2 of PvP - Statistics and Attacks

[CanyptianFit]

Great idea. They don't have to do it each week, but once a month have a class battle week.

Genius!

Here my statistics

Attachment 2550

• I spent 0 (zero) ironite to refill SoW or refresh the attack list
• Never cleared the whole attack list, only attacked higher ranked players to get more points. Mainly I attacked 2-3 targets from list and then waited until free refresh was available. Only attacked lower ranked players if I still had unused SoW and had to go to bed
• My defense has a prisoner, but the win rate is pretty low. Maybe as result that I was attacked back by top players.

Really annoying were totally 10 lost battles, which I had to exit due to bugs reported in this post

I don't know if I was not appearing on some attack lists, but the differences how often we are attacked can be partially also be explained, that the players can choose whom to attack. And some teams are less attractive as others.
My personal conclusion is not to attack a Mummy+SSD+CG combo . As I have no toons who can grant passive immunitiy, even if I go first I then never got control of my team.

Vadym - thanks for posting - were you playing all week or just at the very end?

Sparton suggested that those with low attacks on them may be waiting until the last minute to play. Really curious what your experience was.

Thanks!

Sparton, are you going to have more character discussions? That was hot about a month ago and is now dead.

I've been telling Kaz to cool his jets; we aren't looking at doing nerfs to anyone outside of the guys we posted threads about (and even then we've either done something or have decided to do nothing for now). The Prisoner is still on our mind, but we want to see if we can evolve the meta by introducing things instead of doing direct changes to him, but if the next thing we add in doesn't work as well as we'd like, then we'll reassess. The only reason we didn't see such addition to the meta in time for worldwide is we needed more time to iron out bugs relating to it.

Emphasis mine.

This sounds like a good solution. I'm intrigued to see what you and the team have come up with and am hoping that it'll be introduced sooner rather than later so we can finally tackle the Prisoner.

Casual pvp'er. Not even using all my daily sow. Main reason is I don't have enough materials to enhance all the talismans I want to use + I still havnt mastered ideal talismans setups and effective toon synergies.

I do have really good toons, talismans, just need to learn effective strategies. I'm good on campaign setups.

No prisoner. Not using warrior troll.

Last week stats:

Rank: 13
Points: 3137
Attack Wins: 76% (648/855)
Defensive Wins: 8% (18/219)

Played every day, spent iron item on refills daily, etc. I rarely refresh my list, as I like the free sands.

All this time I've been pretty happy/impressed with my skillz in PvP, considering the 5* players that I don't have (no Prisoner, no Troll, no CG, no Bats, and I'd rather remove a ball with a rusty fork than use Mummy, etc.) -- only to realize that both my win % and defense % are abysmal, and should realistically land me in the bottom 10% of players who have been playing as long as I have. I only achieved my rank due to not getting attacked -- and by refilling a shit load of SoW -- which really deflates some of the good feelings/fun I am having. FWIW, I feel bad that I just got lucky, while some of you, who are by far superior players, got bent over. It's like Obama's left leg; it ain't right.

Some other thoughts (assuming you all care):

Don't nerf the Prisoner, GRE, the taunters, stunners, etc. I've had more fun in the last two weeks trying to figure out how to beat those bitches with my "standard" teams than I've had in the last six months combined. Every toon has a counter, and as evidenced by my %'s above, I've yet to figure most of them out -- but I HAVE figured out a few. Do they work every time? Nope, but thinking about different ways, testing them, and then actually having some success (even if it is 1 win out of 10 -- it sure beats 0 out of 10) is uber-gratifying to me. My wife knows when I've made a breakthrough of some kind (like beating a team that has smoked me 4 or 5 times in a row -- you guys know who you are; hooray for easy def. points!) because I can't contain myself and usually bellow out something childish and crude -- usually having to do with ass-rape in the prison yard, the terms "dick hole," "pooh-finger," and/or "FEAR MY SCHMEB!" or ingesting/biting/sniffing horse balls, my schweaty anus, or GMAC's taint. 😱

The point is, nerfs are lame. Don't let the game beat you; you're better than that! Figure that shit out and quit whining! (and learn how to spell "lose" -- your failure to grasp 3rd grade spelling concepts, combined with your incessant bitching, only makes you look durka-durk.)

Also, I don't understand the whole "root for your trooper" mentality here. Sure, maybe if this were an MMORPG where we actually got to know folks, that might be something -- but, seriously, I don't get it. If you're on my list, I'm gonna attack you (and shoot, chances are pretty good you're gonna get some free points when I run face-first into your fist), and it's nothing personal. I also expect you all to attack the snot out of me. I know that the only thing I'm good for is 25 Trooper points a day, so just leave it at that, and have at me.

I played all the week, utilized every free SoW (24 naturally generated + 3 from daily rewards), this makes 189 free SoW per week (27x7) which you can see in my attacks stat. The rest of 4 was not used SoW from previous week. So my attacks were distributed very smoothly along the week.

As I preferred to attack high ranked players, most of my attack wins gave me at least 17 points and with most of losses I lost 12 or 13 points.

The fact that most toon in my defense stun to work with the mummy 2 turn taunt are prisoner fault too?

Well, The Prisoner does make it a lot harder to counter taunters and stunners, so yeah....
