Territory War Ties [Merged]

I know we won't be the only ones but a tie is a real kick to the sandwich bags. Could we add defensive or offensive loss points to help break the difference otherwise, why not just throw the match as the rewards difference isn't that big and ur going to get 2nd place anyway...

Why not just skip the whole process and send the rewards to our inbox?

Seriously, though, this needs some sort of tie breaker. GvG is a highly anticipated feature that finally could put a rest to the debate of which guild is the “best”. Instead, any match between two high level guilds will very likely end in a tie. We need something that isn’t completely arbitrary (like your ally code or plain rng) to decide the match.

All that being said, this is a great feature. I loved facing all sorts of different teams. I loved setting defensive teams. I want to see TW succeed and the player base be happy with it.

Get used to it. After the dust settles almost all of the TW matchups will end in a tie. At the end of the day it comes down to the same old Human vs. AI.

It doesn't seem that difficult to add a loss feature so losing on offense deducted points or something.

We definitely set our defs too easy, but it seems like ties could become pretty common. Maybe total number of attacks could be a good tiebreaker, however it will be too impacted by game crashes

We killed them first. We win. Still have several players that didn't get a chance to participate because we killed them all too fast.

‘sup EA/CG.

First of all, enjoying TW so far, it’s a lot of fun and very refreshing.

One MAJOR issue is arising is that very soon almost every matchup will end on a draw.

Why? Because after ironing out the limited strategies there are and first time mistakes, it will eventually boil back down to the fact that when humans face AI, they will always have the advantage.

I find it hard to believe this game mode stays interesting once the novelty wears off if most matchups become a “full guild doing a Galactic Wars campaign”, especially when the consistent prize for completing it will be 2nd place.

But, my grandma always told me that I should never talk about a problem without offering a solution and in this case it’s a pretty simple one.

Award banners for defensive holds too. If this is done, a draw is still possible, but it will be the anomaly rather than the norm (which is what is trending to be the case) and will only happen when two guilds that are truly equal both strategically and on roster and in that case, just like in Chess, a draw is acceptable.

Hope this gets considered.

Same with us, we cleared board in less than 2 hrs and it took them 8ish, which is fine but we watched them struggle with our defense. It only took 17 of us to clear there board. The other 33 members of our guild came later to a cleared tw. But it equals 2nd place.

+1 For Sure!
