I am interested in how our match up will play out. 64M vs 95M. We just lost 5 prior to TW and had to fill 19 spots. We struggled to fill all 19 spots, not much left on offense.

This will be our downfall as well. Once we fortify our defenses, we are left without much to attack with.

I said this in one of your other threads, but you are asking too much of your folks for defence.... If the cupboard is empty come attack time you have gone way too far....

No matter how solid your defence is, your opponents have the opportunity tomorrow and choose which team to take on and have the benefit of fighting the AI.......

We did fine for a long time, never lost a battle. Now we are put against guilds that wipevout the board quickly while their g12 defenders sit and play cards. Hardly fair. Filling the nodes gives a better reward chance.

Setting a decent defense is key, but if it cost you clean wins on offense then you may be tipping the scale a little too far the one way.

Exactly dunesea, this is what I meant..... If your strategy is, for example, causing folks to involuntarily use their arena team on defence that they battle with daily, you are losing quality attacks..... Building Phoenix walls is fine, but some.folks have some really good FO teams, that's some more quality attacks lost...... Just some stuff to consider.....

You are in here a lot, and I see you recruiting..... Surprised to hear your guild is missing so many....

We lost some dead wood. They wouldn't or couldn't contribute. Recruiting without running HSRT, is basically a waste of time it seems, so many farm guilds running it why would anyone join a guild not running HSRT?

Dunesea.... I have quoted you a lot lately.... Don't think I am targeting you, it's more that, as a recruiter for my guild, I feel your pain (and we are 50 strong right now).....

There are plenty of players out there, and you have several options to target your recruiting....

Players should target middle of the pack, and that is what recruiters should target as well..... In other words, a player should take their GP and multiply it by 50, recruiters should take their guild GP and divide it by 50 and target those players...... No hstr guild is taking on 800k players..... It just isn't happening, in fact, you can snap up the ones that got booted if you go about it smart....

Another her option is to target lower level players hoping they stick with the game and progress.... The issue with this strategy is you will get your regulars ticked off that the guild isn't progressing....

As for the questions in regards to match ups, feel free to.messsge me..... In have done extensive research on this and can provide you the info you need to put in front of your guild....

We recruit people who aren't looking for an hSTR guild but would like to grow into one along with the rest of us. We also put forward our semi-casual atmosphere, consistent raid schedule and TW/TB performance as positives. Also we have Katy Perry gifs in discord every TW, and I share screenshots of my progress towards a world record in IG-86 shards (currently 380/85). Finally I share screenshots of my two wins against Traya leads in arena and conveniently fail to post screenshots of my 47 losses.

Well, so far they may be making several points stated here. They have lots of g12 defender teams placed, but not enough to fight with, OR it's a case of time differences and I will wake up to a huge gap in our scores, ours being the lower of the 2.

I hope we will reach 120 mill. Next month, so finally we dont have to play this...... We are at 113m against 130. They are wiping us out right now.

We're 1k behind and facing a wall of g12 squads. Clearly a few whales in the guild, seeing more of this lately. A few whales can make or break.

In our TW, we've broken through one chunk and made headway into another. They are struggling to get past one last team in our top 1st chunk.

Still about 500 behind though we always start behind anyway. Not sure we'll win this one. I could only get two teams beaten myself.

Stalemate. They have the 1k lead all sewn up. They didn't win, we lost. Pay to win plain and simple. If they ever wanted to make this game really competitive, they would make two factions, pay to win and free to play. Then pit them against each other (Pay vs Pay etc..). But that is a pipe dream, if whales didn't have pushover fights, they'd quit.

Another leader reading along reached out privately and had this to say "TW is working as intended, either keep up or get washed away. It's a harsh reality but it's the only explanation that makes sense. They look at the stats, it's being played each time, sure there are complaints, but making the desired changes will not add any profits. So they focus on what will. Best of luck to you!"

We lost by about 200 pts..

I'm out, thanks guys.
