Future Grand Arena Scoring Changes

You're new, right?

If you have a zone that needs 3 defenses, and you only fill 1 - your opponent will not be able to get banners for the other 2?

And we're not immediately hot fixing this right now? Is this company serious?

If they clear your 1 team, and therefore the zone, they'll get the points for the other 2. But if they fail and can't clear what is on defense, the points for the missing teams won't be added

To get the banners, you need to clear the sector. So if that one team stops you dead, then yes you won't get the banners for the squads he didn't set.

I mean what's there to investigate? The attacker gets max banners as soon as the empty slot becomes visible. Seems like a simple fix programmatically to me.

Except that CG clearly want people to actively participate in order to earn rewards and automatically awarding banners just because your opponent didn't set a squad contradicts that.

Right, that's what I was saying. Change it so that the attacker gets max banners as soon as an empty slot becomes visible, i.e. if it's in a front zone, immediately as phase starts; if it's in a back zone, as soon as the front zone is cleared.
IOW just move the "check and grant" code from when a zone is cleared to when a zone becomes visible.

One of the big scoring changes they need to do, I think, is link crystals more closely to battles. Right now, it's all-or-nothing. I'm in Kyber 2, so if I lose my battle by two banners or a thousand, I still get 200 crystals. In the past, I would have incentive to attack even if I knew I was going to lose because the banners counted toward reward levels. Now, if I see I can't win, there's no point. Something like this for Kyber 2:

200 crystals for participating
10 crystals per squad defeated
400 additional crystals for winning

Would keep the reward structure intact but reward attacking even when you can't win. It'd shift a few crystals from winners to losers, but I'm good with that.

Another alternative: instead of having reward for rank 1, ranks 2-4, ranks 5-7 and rank 8, have the final rank account for total banners and reward each level 1-8 separately.

AAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHWHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

AAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

Why would anyone think CG would actually care about this? They’re awful at coding and their management doesn’t care about quality. AND they’re all on vacation until mid January. We’ll be lucky if this is *ever* fixed.

You should probably read the whole thread.

I did. What’s that got to do with my post?
