Hello Forge Fans!

It is time to defend in our new Guild Battlegrounds Update!

This is the place to be if you have any questions about it or would like to discuss it with other players.
Please keep in mind that your opinion may differ from the opinions of other players, you don't have to convince each other of anything here. :)

We appreciate your feedback!

Please write your feedback in a factual and constructive way and stay on topic.
So that we can pass your feedback on to the developers, the following points would be important to note:
  • Feedback that only contains one sentence like "Attack is the best Defense!" is not helpful. Please make sure to include reasons for your opinion.
  • The same goes for positive feedback. We are happy about it of course, but describing what exactly you like is always very helpful!
  • Limit your feedback to the actual content. Feedback like "You should improve X" or feedback that refers to other game content or previous events is not helpful.
  • Questions that ask when it will be released on the live server will not be answered. We always announce it in time there.
  • Don't report any bugs here. Please use the bugs forum.
  • Use the "Like" button if another player has already reflected your opinion well.
Thank you very much and have fun!

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team

Diamond League special matchmaking mode --- NO, NO, NO! For the love of all that is FOE....no.​

Could the devs please look at how ranking brackets work and implement that? We do not need the top 4 guilds paired together twice every season. It will typically be the same 4 guilds so what does it do other than ensure 3 of those guilds have less of a chance at a level 2 GBG building?

I've been in the #2 guild on US7 for GBG for a couple years now and being #2 means nothing as we have achieved a whopping 1 *ONE* level 2 champ building thanks to being teamed up with the #1 guild too frequently. Now we will absolutely be GUARANTEED to have to compete with them at least twice every season.... Why even bother to try?

The use of defense stats is just going to drive more players away from doing GBG. It is already a mind-numbingly boring click-fest and now if a player can't complete GE5 (taking a bit of a guess here) they are going to find themselves able to get less hits when they are around for GBG hits. Not ideal. Yeah, I know, many players are likely with me where blue stats far exceed red stats, so for us it's like, "finally!" but for players who are just starting out or coming back from a break it's quite a hurdle to have to overcome.

Attrition 300, why cap it? Can't be that difficult to just roll stats for attrition 1K and be done with it, can it?

...and the new buildings add an X multiplier to the VP generation multiplier of buildings it's next to that are multiplied? What in the world is that even beginning to say? All I heard was 'make more VP by increasing attrition' and 'oh yeah, there might be less one slot sectors...maybe. :/

Come on...

Diamond League special matchmaking mode​

In cases when the game can't fill a Battleground with only the Diamond Guilds, top Platinum Guilds will be also involved in the matches. On smaller worlds, where the Diamond League is too small, the special mode will not apply.

doesn't make much sense to me
if there are 21 guilds there will be 3 platinum guilds involved to get leagues with 4 guilds
but if there are only 1-3 guilds (or even more?) no platinum guilds will be involved because the mode will not apply

So, instead of making a champion's league, the diamond league is removed. Replaced by the 1kLP league. In addition there's a 1kLP super league.
I would've changed the rewards system too. Handing out the secondary GbG buildings' frag. drops throughout all leagues. Lowering fragments reward for champion's GbG buildings to top3 plat. league. While introducing the silver/golden upgrades. Silver only for top3 1kLP league and golden upgrade fragments only in 1kLP super league.

"You could create an elite league but I just do not think that would be fair...Perhaps the final round of each championship could be matched down the rankings 1-8 9-16 17-24 all the way down. I hope to see some creative solutions."

Well I guess I asked for this a while back...

Including blue boosts and randomizing them on the map - :)
Making Diamond League exclusively 1000 LP - :)
Raising attrition cap to 300 - :)
New matchmaking to include pitting top 4 guilds against each other 2x per season - :)
Reducing cost of buildings for lower leagues - :)

While it still pays to be a member of a large, strong, guild I think INNO has made strides towards addressing many of the GBG concerns that players have articulated over the past few years. I hope that they release this to the live servers with little delay.

Super happy with these proposed changes. I could do without any attrition cap, really, there is only so much time anyone should spend clicking away. But removing ‘baby diamond league’ is precisely what is needed to address all those suggestions about creating an ‘elite’ league. Diamond should be diamond, now it will be. I remain cautiously optimistic about being pitted against the guilds around ours on the ranking board twice a season but I don’t quite see how that will work out with the promise not to be constantly pitted against the same guilds. We will see. The best proposal though is to include blue with the red stats on the maps, rather than making purely red or blue maps. It may mean that some players cannot fight all sectors, but should also encourage more balanced cities and not so much focus on just one kind of boost.

How did you make such an uplift to GBG with NO improvements to the rewards that have been since inception? Hilarious that you think all these things matter independently without the rewards. I'm not sure what the reward is for the super league, either.

I remember you made a suggestion of this kind on Discord once with plenty of upvotes, where only 1k will count as Diamond and everything else not. Literally implemented here.

I feel listened to, true. It was mainly in relation to the yoyoing guilds, but does hopefully also deal with that issue of those in platinum not wanting to end up in diamond too fast. There is more leeway now. And for those in diamond, hopefully more of an incentive for the whole board to fight.

As I am not native speaker, I need to answer following: What does the 4-Guild increment mean

During those seasons, Diamond League Guilds will be put into a separate pool, ignoring the general matchmaking rules, and matched against one another in the order of their ranking in 4-Guild increments: top 4 Guilds first, then 5-9 Guilds, 9-12, and so on depending on the size of the League.

Does that mean there will be only 4 Guilds on the map. 1st map Guld 1-4, 2nd Map Guild 5-8, 3rd Map 9-12 etc?

People complaining about rewards are people who have forgotten that GBG was originally created to allow all players participate in a gvg feature cause GvG was only available on pc, but also they have forgotten that the main reason to do GbG is to compete against other guilds and see which is the strongest guild in the world where they play, NOT TO BE SELFISH AND FOCUS ONLY ON REWARDS!

I hope in the new platinum league we have things like low, med, high and high end platinum levels because is not the same put a guild which barely can reach platinum against a guild which almost always reach 999 lp

Oh, and if you have thousands of red attack but not even 1500% of blue attack, then I do not know what the hell have you been doing with your city all these months since GE lvl 5 releasement.
