Stalemates and sandbagging are ruining the glory system - Quick Fix!!!

[Brand Marrow]

I knew about sandbagging by sending my mini account to fight alongside Volume Zero against some of the top slimers. But I didnt get the problem with stalemates until now. As has been mentioned before, when two really strong alliances fight they end up with perfect scores. In the current system perfect scores always lead to a stalemate (unless someone cheats and gets more than 100% on attack).

So now the top of the leaderboard is full of alliances that are either 1. not able to get a perfect score (they suck). or 2. Gaming the system so they dont fight really good alliances that can get a perfect score (they suck even worse).

Please!!! Nb4powerup or Seraphine try to have someone in the upper eschalons of nexon (the nexochalons?) take these issues on. The glory system is a really great idea and with a bit of tweaking would really highlight the top alliances.

Here are two easy changes to make...

1. Alliances are matched based on top half of the roster - for 30 player wars, they are based on top 15 players.
2. Stalemates are resolved based on average % destruction for every attack, not just best attacks. And ties with equal % destruction will be resolved by shorter average time to destruction to avoid any stalemates. Alternatively, just give both alliances in a perfect scores stalemate half their glory for a battle well fought.

Hi Brand Marrow,

These post are always appreciated. The developers are still in the reviewing process. I know that this is taking a long time but this is something that can't be rushed as it would affect wars to the core if something was not considered/looked over.

I can assure you that everyone is listening and that something is happening.

Nb4powerup thnx, really happy to hear that our comments are reaching into the nexochatalonic heights!

( nexochtholonic? sounds like somewhere Cthulhu might go when tired of his nether realms).

I don't know a whole lot about wars, sandbagging & stalemates other than what I read in the forums but your profile signature reminded me of this little ditty from The Brak Show: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L20kfTHv5Vc
Cheers!

Eventually:
Sandbagging
3. Matchmaking algorithm shall ensure that only matches where the lowest level members do not defer by more than 20(30?) levels on both sides can happen
4. For war only those members can be nominated whos level is at least 50% of the highest nominated member.
Tiebraker:
Number of attacks ensuring the final score reached by fewer attacks.
