Unfair Pointsystem

[dexterouz]

I read somewhere that attacking a lower opponent in this game has a penalty. Not sure though.
I don't want to attack lower players, but these popular rules are being used in almost all these games. So, they are actually forcing users to adapt this strategy.
Doing this will take time from lower level to move forward quickly and users will be spending more time in the game. And of course we have hours and later days of upgrade time.
This could be the strategy of game companies, this is what i think so far

Clearly some have no idea how this game works. The medals is a ranking system. Where you are on the medal table you sit will determine the opponents you fight. If you decide you want to go high up the medal table then good for you. The downside if this is you will come up against opponent who are higher than you. If this is a problem then you simply need to drop medals so you can battle opponents who are closer to your level. Let me give you an example. I play squash. At my club is a ladder. Im an ok player and fir into the ladder at about the middle. If I were to move up the ladder I would play harder opponents. If I play the guy at the top of the ladder I will get slaughtered. Simple. Just drop down the ladder a bit.

I agree they didn't hit them for resources as they got very little, the players medals ranking is what did them this game is easy to climb up as the game gives you targets in your age range and your medal count you automatically click past players well over your level when you are looking for battles this lets your medal count get artificially high very quickly, hence they got made a meal of but they lost very little but their pride, they need to try scouting a few players in their league at medal counts close to them if they are 2 ages above you, you may be flying to high, and the big players looking to climb will always use you as a stepping stone.

last night, im at lvl 25 classical age i got attack by a player lvl 45 gunpowder age and for sure i lost -18 medal, its noway to defent against a player like that because he level down on his medal and can beat everyone down like me. for me its a very bad and unfair playing thing in this game, i send an email to the support but i got only answer response that they will answer me asap. till this i will tell everyone about this crap thing. stop spending money on that i hope i could give you guys some information thats help u to safe money AxelTheBeast

If your a top player for real then this must happen a lot I have only played a few days with no cash and I am maxed base sat upgrading my town hall to go to classical age at level 22 there are only 2 reasons players attack you, easy medals or loot, this is a game where upgrades in Iron Age cost 150k so losing 2k to a player is nothing what ever the level difference. There is no point trying to climb the medals until you are at a similar level to players at them medal counts, and the only way a level 45 got you as a target was because of your respective medal counts. It may have been him being very low for some reason but I for one don't hit players with less than 5k food as my army costs more than that. I am happy to hit players in ages above me as they tend to offer high rewards. Now if you had lost 150k of gold and food then complain away as it would be truly unfair. But you didn't .....

 

[Whatwhat]

Sorry explain to me how losing 150k would be 'unfair'? . No one is cheating here. I constantly smash players who are 30-40 lvl below me. Am I being unfair? We're the British unfair when they took over half the world belonging to uncivilised tribesmen?

 

[AxelTheBeast]

Whatwhat for me u sounds really as an unfair player whose nothings know about strategy so he robbs the small guys, and yes the british were unfair in the past only the get glorry and gold for their own.

 

[UnknownPpl]

Who care u are in TMW, you are the 50 best players of the world, u are now playing DomiNations, even you top 1 in others game also means nothing, even you are the richest people also means nothing. This is a game that isnt develop by you, either stop playing or stop complaints. Medals, why cares medal? Just a little bonus for having medals.

 

[Raestloz]

The problem is not that we can just drop medals to get lower level enemies, the problem is that stronger players can drop medals with extreme ease to find a peaceful area where nobody is capable of actually denting them other than other medal-dropping behemoths. Medal is a good and fair way to promote clever but weaker players, but is also an unfair way for clever but stronger players to demote themselves and transform from being a big fish in a large ocean full of shark to a big fish in a small pond. When you get outmaneuvered by enemies of similar strength, you know it's either your stupid layout or their skill, but steamrolled by a mindless zerg is not entertaining nor fun. The key here is they need to encourage competition amongst matched opponents, not predatory hunting by invincible behemoths in groups meant for amateurs. Otherwise the very concept of Revenge would be nothing but formality

 

[EndTimes]

Axel, no one is saying it's fair but we are saying most games like this one do the same thing. Higher levels can come down to lower levels and destroy those bases....loot penalty is really the only thing done to help solve the issue but that really doesn't work well....

 

[Narabug]

When you attack other players, you're free to attack players ranked lower than you. That's part of the game play in every single game of this style, as well as every MMO I've ever played that has open world PvP. It isn't about fair, but about playing to your advantages, and level and research are *currently* some of those discrepancies.

The best advice that I can give is to keep playing, and a month from now you will be in the Enlightenment age with everyone else where the game truly is about strategy rather than out-leveling people.

 

[Carsten]

A Gunpowder Age that attacks a Classical Age for a couple of bucks is completely senseless. This is an exception. Forget it and be happy about a cheap peace treaty.

 

[ShogunMatt]

Axel: quit whining about being attacked by higher lvl players...it happens in all these types of games. If you want to lose less loot. Here is a strategy...play and get whatever loot you need for the up grades you want/can do, then spend the loot on those upgrades. That way you won't have much for higher lvl players to go after. If this is to hard, and getting attacked by higher lvl player bothers you...well, then just quit the game.

 

[Whatwhat]

I agree totally. This is why I have begun several threads to encourage raising medals. Last weekend the update addressed this by increasing rewards. Although the increase is no way near enough at least it is a start. But I still enjoy being a steam rolling zerg.

 

[Whatwhat]

Trust me it takes longer than a month to reach enlightenment. Unless you spend big

 

[Whatwhat]

What a negative comment. Does saying other people have a crappy life make you feel better? Haha Ill enjoy smashing low lvl bases even more now.

 

[Drifting death]

Whatwhat for me u sounds really as an unfair player whose nothings know about strategy so he robbs the small guys, and yes the british were unfair in the past only the get glorry and gold for their own.

I can agree with that an Iron Age players max is 160k if he thinks its ok for a player 30-40 levels higher to take 150k then I am glad he doesn't run this game....

 

[Drifting death]

Yes you are being unfair, if your stealing 150k of a max of 161k from Iron Age players then that is very bad for the game and its players, and no If its 5-25k who cares.... If you like a game that rewards unfair tactics try "war of nations" cash is king and when you get to the top the game does everything it can to keep you there you get the best rewards permanent boosts, special commanders. Its a gold players dream.....This is just like early clash, there are to few players to really control player match ups yet.... If your choosing to exploit a weakness in the games design that's your chose but I play for the challenge, not stealing kids sweets.....is my choice.

 

[Mizzo]

I can understand the "unfairness" but , say that u do get a penalty from looting people under your level, that would force players to ONLY attack other players in their level range or higher and doing so would just frustrate everyone.
1. because of losing 60 to 90% of ur army and having to rebuild the whole army for another 16 freakin minutes to be able to keep attacking, that would just be annoying and piss everyone off, and within that time someone else can attack you and steal the loots you have just stolen your self from a previous attack. People would get fed up with the amount of patience u'd need for this game, well atleast players that plays for free and doesnt spend crowns on building armys immdietly.

 

[sjb]

AxelTheBeast, it's also about risk vs reward. I can attack more advanced players too, not just lesser ones, but they often don't have enough loot to get my interest so it's about seeing how much loot there is, and if I'm going to get all my army killed before I even get through a wall. The trick is to make sure you spend your gold and food on upgrades and don't leave much in your mills and market.

I hope you feel better about the game and don't stop playing because of this. Just get stronger to get revenge attacks.

Also your reference to historical events where stronger empires (British, Persian, etc.) pillaged every less advanced nation around world, only shows the game is close to reality.
