I know a number of people who sat out or played minimally in that war because of the lousy prizes who came back extra strong for this one.


    Ohhhhhh yes.. that too Thanks, yet again, for your insights Beth!

    Yea, its also about the stats. I think the reward has the highest stats in the game atm which is higher than the plus version for Arborsteel Vanguard+.

    Especially with most top 10 guilds having high bonuses, most of them being about 7/8/9%.

    Mono's are considerable weaker as compared to double elements. So I think that Gree has to take note that the mono's released should be either on par or slightly stronger than a dual element at about 7/8% bonuses.

    With our guild bonuses at 9%, most of my mono's are just collecting dust.

    And yea this armor looks freaking bad ass as well, but I think overall it was also the stats that made it a killer combination. If the stats were the same / lower than other epics. Maybe ppl will spend less.

    Incentive to GREE to make better looking EPICs and also better stats armor. And give mono's a higher stat as compared to dual elem to perhaps balance out the game.

    kudus to cafe and bethmo for the commentary pretty interesting stuff.

    I think some members in DK was fighting for top points in our own guild

    Too many super competitive ppl around and probably deep pockets too.

    And also Zues was going for the 1 million point record, probably his own personal achievement.

    GREE might want to come out with new achievement system soon.

At the end of the war, Unicorn Stampede sniped the 3rd place finish with a mere 25k difference, and at the other end of the cluster is U2EZ who missed the 10th place spot by a mere 15k points. WOW.
    Pretty good recap! Now let me tell the Unicorn side of the story =P
    Having been safely seated at 4th for most of the last day, the guilds below began their final push and dragged us into a dogfight. Just before our last battle of the war, we found ourselves precariously in 10th spot.



    However, we had organized for a final epic battle and that is what we gave, pushing our way past the rest of the guilds to 3rd.



    Also, we gave OTB a good spanking for the final battle =P (I'm saying this with no intention of offending OTB, who had no need to give their best, having secured 2nd).



    Cheers everyone!

    Knights of Furyans is a side project we are currently working on. The Herd is growing at an alarming rate, and we need all the room we can get!
    Are you serious about KnD and an active player? Tired of not receiving war epics after spending your hard earned gems? If so, contact me with any inquires about joining one of the original top 10 guilds on Android.

    It is one of the side projects we are currently working on. Currently, Team Unicorn's subguild, "The Noobicorns," are trying to keep up with them. You may also see some blazestone armors in there...

    So that explains the solo guild frenzy...

    Ah yes, the millionaire club. We had some extra RR activity even after DPA stopped pushing us because of that, too.

    Ahhhh someone who gets "it"

    You know you are sitting there and already made enough pts, but you say ..just a little more, let me see if I can beat this guy ...Im in 10th, 15th, 20th whatever in points..I HATE not being top ten. Stuff like that makes you do just a little more for no good reason I can think of.

    My first ever frenzy happened the very last battle of this war, how can you say no to a frenzy?

    Im already missing being at war, I love it.

    Beth, with my little experience at the Android side, making the millionaire club at the Android is a bit more challenging. On iOS, the scoring rewards high ranked knights hitting high ranked officers. For example, you can get ~500 points for killing a GM. On android, the spread between high and low score is a lot narrower. A high ranked knighthitting a GM may only earn you around ~250 pts (and the same high ranked knight hitting a low ranked commander gets you ~120 points). At the same time, there's also a huge incentive for the low ranked knights to be active in the game, because their base points are higher. Example - Low ranked commanders hitting other low ranked commanders can earn you ~300 points

    Basically the point scale seems to be a bit off, and also the scoring system seems to encourage beginner knights a LOT more in the game.
