We saw exactly the same type of problems when they added Hamlets

It started fine, but then attackers sent massive armies and killed the goose that laid the golden eggs

Only a fool or a coiner will now attempt to defend hamlets

One solution would be to review Force Limits to prevent attacks by mega coiners

right ,i did that mistake sometimes so i know what do you mean, on the other hand thats i good way to understand players how pvp works

this is an extrem example but it helps you to avoid something like that,it also teach you that hug force vs small force is wrong tactic to gain pvp

so alhtough i am here for 2 years the last months i noticed that fact of pvp so it is a good lesson for the no coiners like me

I think is time we introduce ally attacks. Especially on Hamlets and castles. These feature will balance the game, especially in the untamed land. 

Up to forty allies attacking a Hamlet, or joining together in defense of Hamlet. Or jointly attacking a castle.

That would make the situation worse, not better

3 players can attack a settlement, beacon or fortress .... and we have seen the devastation which follows

Beacons have become the main source of PVP for a lot of players - to be honest I hardly do any PVP at all lately because yes its too time consuming to send out a lot of spy missions to find it

good example but its not enough to me just a screenshoot ,when you present a pvp report players want all your backround untill you reach there,how did you do that score  and which tournament was this one

pvp is a gamble for most players who do it offensively..\

IE.. you want to hit a beacon (lvl 1) or a hamlet... but you don't know whats in it and you can't spy it.  It could be 100k D... or 100 mil.. only those who know how to do strength tests properly (very few people) can really figure out if its worth hitting.

Thus.. you could lose 40k O and gain 100k O from rewards.. or lose 40 mil O and gain 100k O from rewards for those who blind hit hamlets/beacons

There are ways of getting pvp efficiently through using offence, but to do it you need to know how to do strength tests.. or have someone willing to read one for you..

and with that.. you need to be careful that they don't shift D quickly to it (I was hitting a 300k fortress... they shifted 150 mil into it and I lost 40 mil O) (very rare though)

with defense.... you have to know who your target is before you defend... since there are 1+ bil players now.. the wrong person hitting and you lose all D..

for those who want to do pvp efficiently.. its best that they start running tests..or join a league that knows how to do it already

great comment,over here you describe a fact anyone should count befor of any pvp action,also if you have some tips about how we can avoid huge losts it would be welcomed,here or in a seperated post,it would be great for the players and me also,the only sure is that big against small force is bad choice if you are the one with the small troop :)

thank you very much for your good comment

use what you are willing to lose especially defending - a big mistake players make is going "all in" - be active in your league send trips if you see a spy mission send 150 - 300 k defense you may lose some troops but a reasonable amount and you will cause a bit of damage to the person hitting - be a team player include your members let everyone get some PVP a smaller player welcomes a chance to use a limited amount of troops to get some points 

for offense PVP know your targets - if you are not absolutely sure you can win then send sacrificial fodder units or just DON'T hit at all

you don't always have to WIN to be a winner

Catacombs to level 26 you will not even find builds anymore 

unfortunately a pvp game has turned into a massive deffense action or things like that,unfortunately there in no mood to play the players neither orginization to gather the players who want to play in a better way

My last PVP :)

I always thought that 10-50 K was the most profitable. I guise 50 k is not that bad. 

That is awesome job.

rock paper scissors in other games include, pikes are strong against cavalry but are weak towards archers because the pikes plunge into the horses and have reach to get knights,  they are however sitting ducks to a rain of arrows falling upon them.  so rock paper scissors creates the need to tactically chose which troops attack and at what time.  in a chronological attack.  factor in terrain and it actually becomes a strategy game.

another example of rock, paper, scissors would be mage advantage over melee, range over mage and melee over range.  of course range and mage always have an advantage based on distance attacks  and strong area of effect spells.

rock, paper, scissors is a game where paper covers rock and wins, rock smashes scissors and wins, scissor cuts paper and wins.  the outcome is due to knowing your opponent and their tendencies.  otherwise it is just random luck.  {or a slight hesitation}

engagements is just any battle.  if you put your whole defense on hamlets and a player wipes it out, so you revenge attack their castle and your entire offense is wiped out.  that would make your entire army wiped out in 2 engagements.  after building your army for 2 years, deciding you won't put another 2 years into rebuilding would make it game ending.

ok you made it more clear,i dont have it completetely but i think you talk about a system you can predict enemie's troop,i mean if he has more best or occult etc so you chose the best type of unit  but i as i see you dont talk about troop only you talke about distance melee etc so generaly you talk about a sytem where you can set properties,,,well not sure since dont have it completely,,,,anyway about troop it snot very essential to predict the players if have more bestiary or occult or infanrty protection or offensive power

sorry if i underestimated a little bit your suggestion i am not completely sure if i caught it completely it so i dont take the responsibility to say i am on topic :)

as for making the distance smaller, not everyone wants to be that close to that many hungry pvpers.  and for those who coin, they just make the map smaller with speed ups.

another player made a suggestion of a pvp tournament area where it would be turn base tactics like chess.  they suggested a limit on the amount of troops you can use.

so i said, like a duel arena where you teleport your army to a specific dueling area.

i also said that plarium doesn't have a true rock paper scissors format,  the defense kinda pseudo addresses it, but you can't turnbase tactics with it.

i stated that with a number limit on troops it would just end up being bestiary vs. bestiary.

so what i suggested is a duel arena where you use rock paper scissors and terrain tactics within another map that you port your troops to.  i have also stated that the main map needs more resources and pve opportunities,  so that entering a duel arena would be fun and not game ending.  or just pvp on the main map for that matter .  if pvp is tough to find on the main map, it is because 1 or 2 engagements are game ending for most players.  i.e.  more resources needed to replenish losses.

i know that when plarium hears this, what they will hear is, i want another multiplier.

i try to understand what do you mean "rock papaer scissor",not sure what do you mean if you could make your suggestiong a little bit more clear no need more than 3 lines just a small help cause i am not completely sure

I wouldn't say chances are less... just that now its mostly stupid coining hotheads.. so the best bet is to defend something as a group and provoke attack

anyway in my area seems harder ,what i said is that there is enough active player in stormfall,i am not talking about coiners,i talk about no coiners, so there are enough no coiners but they are splited or play in a pathetic way so i feel empty the last period,anyway on my eyes things changed the last year ,opinions and  experiences is different according to the area you are ,probably in your area is still  some active players,i always talk about dark plans server :)

 Now that we made sure more people will take the survey 😀.

Sison idea can be improved if players who participated in PvP are then grouped into tiers. These tiers should be dependent on CC ratings and independent on intelligent. In a way players with similar offense will be grouped together. And these will be grouped independently based on time( location in the world) and age of play. 

But for players like me, it's a terrificly horrible idea. Ask anyone in untamed land, every John Jones and Johnson have 500 mil offense, having players tick available PvP will just put more players in the meccy of John Jones and Johnson
