New Guild War: Fire/Earth top 10. Tectonic top 25

[EljayK]

Anyone else bored of this?

The armor rotation of these wars insinuates that the developers are just throwing darts at a dart board, or that they let the RNG take over deciding elements and stats to release.

Maybe there's a method to the madness, and it's probably a good thing that there's a lack of enthusiasm from time to time, so that they 'good' things are that much more exciting, but this just seems tedious and uneventful.

Is anyone excited?

[Lazzo]

Well as far as the general consensus of the top guilds its as follows-

Runic people are pist
Rich people don't care and are still getting it
New players are excited as hell because the regular is almost better then runic+
But most long time players are not happy in grees developmental strategy of copy and pasting runic and adding roughly 100/100 points.

I guess it depends when you started and how much you have invested depends on what your thoughts are.

I missed runic so ill be shooting at #1 and this is OP almost as strong as Aquatic+ being 2 elements.
32XX/18XX as HC+ all 10 elements of guild boosted.

Hope theres a gem event

Maybe I'm the only one who wasn't aware of it but it's looking more and more like the T25 epics are going to be solely the fusable epics which I think is still serviceable, but Tectonic is way outdated for sure. I'm not in a top 10 guild so I guess it doesn't impact me as much, but the stats on this thing is pretty crazy. Helmet reminds me or Redstone. I can see why Runic owners would not be happy though.. Runic was very recent. Still a great armor imho.

Is there anyone here who is in a guild aiming for top ten, interested to know what the expected gem spend or points target is?

That's hard to say with the silver chromatic last war so lots of people didn't do that war. And then with the 2 40% flash sales the past few days

[Nec772]

Probably after those 40% flash sales it will be a min of 250,000 points or around 2k gems for a top ten run this war.

Tectonic is pretty pathetic.... it is really weak so I would have to say no, I'm not excited.

True. It's not even that good for farming mats either which was the last thing it was capable of being used for. To low att so it cant one hit the bosses.

Oh, well... Its just Gree. They know we love it and therefor doing it on purpose to annoy us.

Better then some legendary like Armor of the Wolf+

[ZERO_07]

Better then some legendary like Armor of the Wolf+
Araknos+ is almost as strong as if not just as strong as Tectonic.

[Sol Invictus]

I think Tectonic for Ribbon A is great. Here's why.

The strongest players pull away from the weakest players, creating a power gap that is difficult for weaker players to overcome.

Tectonic is useless for stronger players, but for some weaker players it will could be their first or second Epic. It's a big deal to them.

A fair amount of legit top 25 guilds will sit out of this one, opening the door for Ribbon B or maybe even C guilds to take a shot, and close that power gap a bit.

It will be good to have new players take the next step.

[Yongsan]

Completely agreed.While Tectonic doesn't sound that great to the existing strong players, it's a heck of a lot better than the legendary+'s that used to be offered. I feel we appreciate change for one week, then demand so much more the next.. In the end top 10 guilds are still offered the war epics and now top 25 guilds have access to fusable epics. IMHO that's as fair as it gets

[The Pale Rider]

Agree with all. Saying Tec is weak is just a statement of fact. Mael and Forge were better. Majesty, beast and druidic are better than blaze or moon and notherners is in the middle. We'll likely see them all in the next 6 wars for top 25 (well hoepfully not Moon). It's definitely an improvement.

[tshell]

I'm excited, just missed out on runic, so that helps fuel the fire. Tec for top 25 is just fine IMO. Yes it's worse than the first two options for that ribbon, but still better than the alternative of boss armors. Everyone and their brother can get boss armors but epics are still elusive. Tec is definitely not on the top shelf but it isn't trash either.

So you think that 11-25 will just bow out, making room for new guilds to take over? Yeah, because the only a-holes that hog epics are in top 10. Seems legit.

One of our Feeder guilds are sitting out. Point proven

[Kangaroeland]

I think top 10 will be a lot lower than you expect.

[ZERO_07]

I think top 10 will be a lot lower than you expect.

Agreed. It will probably be a repeat of Snowstorm war.

[The Pale Rider]

Agreed. It will probably be a repeat of Snowstorm war.

I'd be fine with that. Will have more for the next one.

The guild wars lack entertainment. For the longest time I have had one of every armor types maxed and guild wars are the only thing making me still play K&D. I have been around for every war. Now it is getting too predictable and easy even for people that gem. Most guilds in the top 100 can time there fights with a freindly guild strip both guild masters and use all your free energy and gem for easy points. The basic principles of the game are not even used anymore. The teams that make and fight against more friendly guilds place better. Even predetermining who will get the win.

I remeber in the early wars when you had to actually scout the guild via friends list, arena, epic boss rankings. Look at the guild see who is wearing the weakest armor and then fight them. Actual strategy was needed.

Game lacks strategy(besides figuring out who will strip and who gets the win)

Is it just me?

[frostman27]

NO MORE STRIPPING it is cheating top ten guilds already have most of the best armors in the game STRIPPING doesn't even required good armors just Gemming away on a stripped gm it sucks the life right out of this game would rather lose to the reble alliance honorably without STRIPPING then stoop to there level that's why we only placed #11 this war we have honor and will stay this way too like a friend said earlier I don't hunt sitting on top of the feeder it just ruins the trill of the hunt there's no real work involved that way and its just not right so say what you like that its not cheating or every one is doing cause its just not true we will not be a part of this we will sit back and watch as this game falls to the ground STRIPPING is no better than using a hack

[Smiley80]

Cheating, im not sure, but it makes friends more powerful and to win you HAVE to have friends. I could have 40 people with unlimited gems and NOT get first place without stripping alliances.

Something simple as; (damage done + damage received)/(10-misses)=points for a victory
That way you make way less points for winning stripped fights and people get rewarded for misses if they win.

There really is a disconnect between the Top Tier guilds and everyone else, my guild's highest rank ever was 29th, and lately we've been placing around 50-100 so we are pretty solid. So, when i say we'd be thrilled for everyone in our guild to get tectonic you should take that to mean something.

I have a ton of players who have been playing for many months and fusing for epics for quite some time and they still don't have any. Getting your first epic is a big step even if it's a bit dated. Also, Tectonic is still solid for countering air armor even if it will likely be outclassed by EB+ armor in the next couple of months.

I realize it's probably not the greatest thing for guys who are just outside of being the best who aren't quite spending enough cash to be in the top 10 but calling tectonic useless is a bit ridiculous considering the rest of the playerbase's armor sets.

[Conget]

Tectonic is weaker than the last EB+ armor of S/E if u have a guild with high elekent bonus%

[Sol Invictus]

I woke up this morning, collected gold, fought five battles in Arena and fought the EB...then I passed out again.

And a terrible vision came to me, haunted my nightmares. I hope it turns out to be untrue.

But according to my vision, Tectonic will be the Ribbon A reward again. I know it sounds absurd, but this is GREE we're dealing with. I give it a 50/50 chance.

[EljayK]

Next is blazeborne.

That's a fair point, by 15 points at 10% bonuses each actually, it's still stronger before that albiet slightly. If one dropped in my lap I'd still level it though.
