I was thinking that too. Maybe they saw the negative reactions to that "leak" of GR, and realized it was going to flop in its current format. Maybe they went back to the drawing board.
Its a gamble. There are some features that have been tested on beta but didn't make it to live and there are features that got 60 pages of negative feedback and inno didn't care and released it anyway.
And we all remember the 1-week turnaround for PvP arena when it happened. Maybe someone actually did learn from that and has also heard the negative feedback from Gbg. Maybe GvG needs to stay as long as there is no other functioning ranking system, if they can’t fix the Gbg one.
Oh, you mean that Player vs Bots feature? Or, the "why don't we mess with the camps and tick off a lot of players in GBg" one that somehow, somewhere, someone did listen and decided that 66% cap wasn't going to cut it anyways.
It was a load of rubbish and still is. Hence, why I quit the feature.
100% agree, I use it for extra fights when I need them. Came in handy for the rival questline when there was nothing else.
If only Inno would do something about that bit all across the board.
I was thinking of that "donate a bunch of diamonds every day for guild perks" feature that got scrapped lol.
I guess I never knew since I was gone for a long chunk (from 2013 onto 2018 or something).
For instance - only for players who have 'trusted rights"
Does it really matter though? No matter what Inno releases, the players will just grab their pitchforks. Inno could serve paradise on a plate and the players will claim that they wanted chicken nuggets instead.
They will. Why does it matter to you when ?
Nobody is making you doing gvg.I don't think that is true. And I think it is disrespectful and costly to invalidate the opinions of consumers. Inno needs to consider what will make players happy, if they want to make money. You can't make money with dissatisfied consumers.
Perhaps but inno's been making a lot of decisions that benefit the players with the "haves" and disregarding (the majority of) players with the "have nots" which has been a source of contention with me. Like for example the rival tasks were easy for people who had supply kits, but it was completely unreasonable time limit for those without, why not give players that extra 2 days. The rebalancing of gbg will give the top 100 players who do 8000 fights a round multiple tourney buildings but the majority of players will take more than a month to get one and they only work for 2 weeks, how is that balanced? You don't have to argue these points, they're just examples of whale mining that I don't appreciate and hope doesn't continue. I'm genuinely excited for raids.
No personal rewards in GVG... GOOD.. fight for your guild against another.They already lost. The feature is going, so their favourite pastime is no more. Whether they chase you or not is irrelevant. I do agree, however, that the ranking should have been frozen on the day it was announced, and it should also have already been removed from view as was, likewise, announced. What is the point keeping it available or visible?
For those 5% who still play actively, and I am not sure that counts the members who have played but are in a guild which is not actively fighting nightly as they have just held land for several months, we still enjoy the feature. Inno listened to the rest of you who were not playing GvG, not on PC, or didnt like the feature when they brought out GBG. Go enjoy it. For those of us who did play GvG and still do play it nightly and very much enjoy this feature and have played for many years... we want something ready which encompasses some of the same aspects. Many of those have been listed in this thread AND in the live server forums. So, please, feel free to go enjoy GBG or GE or what ever YOU seem to like in the game and allow those of us who do enjoy it to get the last remaining days out of it. I realize some of you are bitter about some aspects of the game and the players who have actively been trying to cheat to win in the game but those of us who just enjoy playing with out cheating still enjoy GvG and fight against some of those players.
