Tie Breaker Update

I was a proponent for something to fix ties, but my guild has won 3/4 TW now. I think the first guild played to tie, and that was the problem. My guild is JUST top 50 in GP. Which puts us almost at 130mil GP.

People are starting to realize no one wins if you play for a strong offense and a weak defense. And thus, strategy is born.

I don’t want to see a larger set of slots for defense, I already feel spread thin and things have gone well without the increase.

i picked 120m+ because i keep hearing guilds still tie. Maybe some still haven't realized go def or go home is the way to go, and ties aren't even inevitable in the higher GP brackets. If going def still works at 130m, maybe there's no need for increased def slots at all.

128m guild here. 3 wins, no loses,1 tie. If you're getting a lot of ties, grow a pair and set some stronger defenses.

they aren't going to fix this for you. you need to create even better defensive teams so that when you do win you'll feel a tremendous amount of pride and accomplishment.

Can we get an update, or at least confirmation that something is still being looked at for tie breakers in TW?

I say this because our guild (125m GP) had about 10 people that only set defensive teams and didn't even attack, or only attacked once. I want to make sure CG knows that if there are less ties happening now, it is not because the problem is fixed. it is because they have created apathy towards the content that was just released.

#Confirmed - the Tie Breaker fix IS ::drumroll:: Apathy. They fixed it.

i think it's fair to assume the "tie issue" is alot smaller than orginally thought. We tied our first TW, adjusted our strategy (as did our opponents) and never tied again. Neither us, or our enemy has cleared the entire map after the initial TW. 100-110m GP bracket for all TW's.

Only 5 percent of guilds tie - so nbd, bag of shells. No fix coming.

We are 125+ and we tied our first two - but haven't tied the most recent two. If everyone sets weak defense, you will tie. If guilds play it smart and start setting strong defenses and force the opponent to make strategic decisions, there won't be nearly as many ties (and according to the developers, there weren't that many in the first place).

If you are both clearing each other's boards, you are deploying defensive teams that are too weak.

Set your best teams on defence, see how far you get on offence with the left over teams. 3/4/5 squad teams depending on roster, 1 fleet per player.
2 losses, 1 win. Still better rewards than 3 draws.

And a heck of a lot more fun and strategic. :)
