World War Tournament

[dannemare]

Here is what Nexon/BHG should do:

**WORLD WAR TOURNAMENT**

*) Alliances opt-in for the tournament with 25 players (no 10vs10 or 20vs20 weak-sauce that doesn't properly represent the true overall strength of an alliance).
*) Start out by removing all the junior alliances with an alliance score of less than 10,000.
*) Use whatever ranking system is used today for matching WW opponents and create "segments" of alliances based on that ranking system.
*) Take each segment and remove all alliances having done less than 20 wars.
*) Take each segment and remove all alliances except for those who represent the top 5 (those with the best win/lose ratio in each segment).
In situations where more than 5 alliances represent the top 5, simply include them all (simple example: 8 alliances in a segment all have a 100% win ratio).

Now we have a list of alliances with a solid world war record, and they represent the entire war ranking ladder, so to say.


Qualification:

Each segment battles it out internally (each alliance will do one battle against all the other alliances in the segment).

The top two alliances (sorted first by stars won, next by destruction percentage) within each segments go to the actual tournament.


Tournament:

The tournament begins with X alliances, divided into Y groups.

Each alliance meets the others in its group just once.
The winning alliance and the runner-up from each group then progress to the next round.

The winning team from one group then battles against the runner-up from another group.

In summary, kinda like this...:

Pre-requirements:

1) The tournament must have a public battle log with all the necessary statistical details.

2) WW replays must be introduced (and replay accuray must be improved).

3) Announce the tournament 1 month in advance to let more alliances get a chance to reach a minimum of 20 World Wars.

4) After the qualification round, players with maxed out walls/gates are asked to show receipts for crown purchases or otherwise document how they achieved looting more than 3,700,000,000 gold (Nexon/BGH can pull the exact looting amount from each player's account, but I'm not sure if they can view a player's payment history, because this goes though the App Store or Google play). Players who cannot provide sufficient documentation are kicked. This rule should motivate alliances to kick cheaters prior to entering the WORLD WAR TOURNAMENT.


Optional:

Let replays be public (and easily accessible/searchable in a web browser as well). Publicly publish replays as soon as battles are done.

Forgot to add an important thing:

*) Alliances opt-in for the tournament with 25 players (no 10vs10 or 20vs20 weak-sauce that doesn't properly represent the true overall strength of an alliance).

1) this is WAY too complicated... it ain't the World Cup

2) an Alliance with less than 10,000 pts is by no means a "junior alliance"

3) there is no way in hell they are going to invest the time and resources to make something like this happen that excludes the vast majority of players (as your plan would certainly do)

 

[dannemare]

The things I have mentioned (apart from checking receipts, naturally) can the programmed as game logic. Thus, making it automated. It's not rocket science.

I knew my use of the term "junior alliance" would upset some. Nevertheless, a tournament should be for heavy-weight alliances. It should be the super bowl, not little league.

Those of us that are ranked as the very best war alliances in the world take this game pretty seriously, I can tell you.

He would just hate it if a "junior alliance" would happen to beat his.

Hey guys, its already in the works. Come join us: https://youtu.be/0XQAIR2Ipbs How to submit: https://youtu.be/0XQAIR2Ipbs.

Sorry, but that just doesn't cut it for me/us. It just isn't good enough. Too basic.

Plus, the tournament *needs* to be implemented as an integrated part of the game itself.

Breaks the 80-20% rule. Why they want to invest 80% of time for 20% of people. As long as it benefits a larger amount of players, it will be good.

How about, having separate medals awarded at Alliance level for world wars. If you win a war, next battle will be with someone higher than your medal score. If you loose, you have to compete with someone below your medal score.. This kind of gives a tournament idea, at same time everyone can participate.

here's a different, simple idea for an WW tournament that would include all alliances... Every alliance that opts in is given computer generated opponents that match their alliance strength. After 5 or 10 of these wars, alliance with best score (total stars?) is the winner. Maybe set these tournament wars at 30 allies so that alliance has to dig deep. Could also make the tournament wars progressively harder and eliminate all alliances that lose.

Nice idea. But, I would have them improve the existing world war features and add attack replays rather than focus on adding more features on a feature that has, let's just say, scope for improvement.

@dannemare: Atleast DNations Battles made an effort to suggest how to integrate in the existing game...I see that you only made a list.

 

[Empire]

lol, that would be interesting!

It is a simple idea but it works! Local competitions for PCs, consoles, and (yes) mobile platforms are already being held with sponsorship from major game companies. Will Nexon sponsor our games? We hope so. Right now, Nexon doesn't offer any type of competition besides a leader board. We believe that our idea will give them a competitive edge over their competitors. What if they deny sponsorship? We will continue to improve Ally Wars. We believe we have a great idea and an awesome community. We hope they hear us and see how this can increase their fanbase.

Thanks for all the ideas guys!
