TW Constructive Feedback Thread

Ability to edit and move squads around before the lock is crucial.

I think this will lead to a more complex strategy and in the end these banners can make the difference.

@FitzChivalry makes a good point... defense is the best offense.

And a great defense could add a few more banners so that could break ties in future TW...

Idk how exactly to calculate it... but maybe if a defensive team wins it adds 5 banners
If that same team defends twice it gets 10 and if it defends 3 times it gets 15 banners... etc...

Thst would definitely break like 99% of ties.

I kept thinking about the very first thing I posted about rewards or buffs, and I have to say I'm not too sure now what to recommend now that tw is over, if anything with that needs changed at all. Hopefully will get a better idea after next tw.

I would like to see offence squads/heroes being allowed to be re-used with their stats carry-forward if they survive an offensive attack.

The mechanics for TW is similar to GW, that defensive squads that survive keep the stats and carry-forward to a new offensive battle, and allow offensive squads to continue being used until they are no longer viable.

If you want something that looks like gw, plays like gw, and feels like gw, then play gw. Tw needs to be different from gw. Thanks for posting an idea though.

Hard to say whether defensive win banners would be best. Just like any other new game mode we all need to adjust our strategies. If guilds deploy better defenses then that resolves the tie just as well as more banners. Maybe.

Did someone recognize a restriction for offense? Would it be possible to attack with a huge amount of even weak squads to win? As the damage done in a first attack remains for the defender.

I think turn meter also persists, so that would not help much. But if that is all you and they have left... This is where guild coordination comes in. About halfway through a lot of us were basically depleted but we still had members who hadn't attacked yet. So we asked them to take out specific squads so we could all move on. Ofc as time goes on players will recognize what they need to do without discussion.

As mentioned in another thread, yes!

GREAT thread of feedback!

I'm probably a broken record at this point, but I want to remind everyone that Territory Wars, like Territory Battles will be a living feature and improvements are sure to come.

Great insights and lists!

Agree w @FitzChivalry that maybe 1 banner per successful defense would be balanced. Some feedback on how your defense has performed would be nice

I loooooved the beta Territory Wars. It is a lot more engaging than Territory Battles as its not a simple wave of stormtroopers where once you have the team that wins, it never changes.

Note: also posted this in the mega thread in general.. but wanted to make sure it was part of the specific beta discussion also

Things I liked were:

Strategy: Depending on the defence they had set, there was not a "right or wrong" team to use, it varied for the team I was facing so was using some of my lesser teams on their lesser defence, better teams for better defenders.. And we had a couple of defenders where we had to send in two or three people to finish it.

Suspense: This helped that we were matched with a very similar GP guild (80 mil gp) but it was in the dying minutes we took the win by taking one of the last territories. We didn't even get the real rewards but I was really engaged and pumped to win in such a close war!

Matching Guilds: Sounds like we were lucky here as others didn't have this experience, but we were within a couple of mil GP which as said in the suspense, meant a great game. My guess is when live and the larger pool of guilds to match to the matching will be closer for all.

Not to much of a time sink: Setting defence took about 10 minutes, attacking took about 20 minutes (broken into approx 6 battles over a few times).. not to much for this type of mode

Things that may need work:

Rewards: Probably the only area that needs work as the difference between winning and losing did not seem huge.. Hopefully an area they will work on as they did with TB

Officer Tools: While being able to set orders is good, not knowing what territory they were set in is annoying. Am hoping a way to either go straight to the territory from the inbox message or a naming system to identify where the message is from could be implemented

All in all, I think its a great mode and is a LOT better than TB

I really enjoyed the beta, and the strategy of employing deep parts of your roster. This strategizing was definitely my favorite part. I thought of two potential ways to improve TW:

1) I didn't see why there needed to be a Join and Defensive Setup phase. Defensive setup is completely independent of your opponent, so I don't think we need to wait for the matchmaking to do that. I also think that setting defenses is done fairly individually and guilds will pre-coordinate where it isn't. It might as well be allowed for people to join and set their defenses.

The biggest benefit from this is territor wars could be cut down from three to two days, which would allow us to potentially fit two in between territory battles, which I think would be great.

2) Much more minor, but the battle lists would automatically refresh and send me back to the top as they were updated, so I would lose my place and what I was looking at. This was a minor inconvenience, but an annoyance that could be more prevalent with more activity. I think maybe just modifying the list to show a team as Defeated or something might be better than removing it from the list.

1) The reason from another post i read is that the amount of defensive squads you can assign is based on how many people register in the prevew.. Full 50 means you can assign 25 defensive squads, 40 registered would be 20 defensive squads

What will prevent one guild from placing one team on defense in each node, to starve the other team on banners? So they get all the victory banners and clear the board with all of the banners?

There has to be a 'clear first' victory award either huuuge amount of banners awarded, or immediate victory.

Because setting defensive squads is 20 banners, victories are only 10 banners, but conquering territories is 700-1100+ banners. Setting one or no teams actually starves your own guild of banners.
