Defense teams are really, REALLY strong right now.  
Triple Takshaka is messed up!  
Also, please restrict classes in the defense as well.

We’re fighting the same guild today as we did on Friday. Working as intended?

I would be cool with this across PvP in general.

My guild hates you havent got a scoreboard for in guild players you dont even know whos not competing, also we have no idea how our defences have done! We in 46th place was matched on the second day with a guild in 2nd place how can that be fair!

The ability of 20 gems for missing is locked behind a $5 real money deal. Not cheap in my book.

This is a dangerous precedent to set, especially in a mode all about competing with everything you’ve got. I am very much hoping the Stellarix/WoS ban is a temporary band-aid, not the first snowball in an avalanche of bans.

I don’t think the solution to difficult battles is nerfing the defense into oblivion. The majority of classes barely benefit a team, and limiting teams to four unique troops will in some cases result in a lack of decent options.

I like the idea some have mentioned of allowing for more team freedom, but giving extra points within the restriction. This could maybe extend to duplicate troops - you can use three Takshakas, but you’ll be penalized for it. Maybe it could apply to Class too - many would probably still use Elementalist despite the penalty. I’d much prefer that over less player autonomy.

I understand why people want more balance, but I don’t think that continuing to add restrictions until every player is forced to have a mediocre defense team would be possible, let alone practical. Metas are impossible to avoid entirely; they are simply the best team possible within given limits.

I dont disagree, but I think the issue is that there is a huge troop restriction for attacking teams, but not defenses. Fighting against 3 Takas, or in my case, 2 of the newest dragons wiped me in 1 turn twice in a row before even the Palace fight is hard to overcome. Color, rather than Kindom restrictions would be much better

ishbaala 50% → 40%  
Stellatrix ban in PvP  
Probably the new Stellatrix, the same complaints are coming  
Journey’s troops reduce the mana

That is only some examples, the players are complaining to keep an easy comfort game (and after they complain because the game is dead and to easy).  
In fact we have troop to kill bosses…

For the defense I spoke about a malus if it use more than 1 copy to keep the strategy.

It’s not about Easy. Those changes are about imbalanced troop with no second thought by devs when they made it. Since devs never play the game they cannot see what’s broken. We have to point it out for them.

I agree 100%. There absolutely needs to be stiff point penalties for using the same troops on defense just like how it was before. Going against THREE Takshaka like I just had to do with a crap ass Broken Spire team isn’t fair in the least bit. Take away these stupid kingdom restrictions and go back to color teams.

The main problem with the new Guild Wars is that it doesn’t feel like Guild Wars.

I enjoyed the attack and defense restrictions. I can see more creativity in the teams.  
But clearly 15 months for that draft is a joke. Whatever, we haven’t choice, I hope the devs look the feedback and read again the first time they asked what we wanted and see what they have forgotten.

Just as a first reaction here? You’d need some ginormous penalties to make it serve as a sufficient deterrent. Because if something like _“3x Takshaka”_ is that effective at stopping an enemy entirely, you’d want a penalty large enough to off-set most/all the points that such a defense denies the attacker.

Otherwise? If I could set a defense that would cost my guild a thousand points but might net them several thousand through what the attacker doesn’t earn? That’s a trade-off to make every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Today marks three days running with our guild facing the exact same opponent guild. Over and over with like 2-3 active defenders using obnoxious teams like Beetrix spam and Takshaka spam while every other spot is some waste of time sentinel fight.

What a thrilling way to motivate us to open up our wallets.

A year this thing’s been drawn out, and this is what we get. If this is the devs’ strategy for keeping us interested, they have summited new heights of failure.

Those of us that are still left certainly saw quite a disaster piece unfold this weekend. It reminds me of being placed in pvp leagues by some ridiculous luck factor that is beyond our control.

Either you have an easy time getting rewards that you actually deserve, or you have to slog through a horrible experience that leaves you questioning why you are still playing.

Either way, I don’t think any of us are surprised. It’s been like this for about 2 years now and our disappointment realizes that this is what the game is now.

Let me ask for what do you deserve a rewards if you have an easy time? The reward feels bigger when you work hard for it

@jeto, hi there. I have a question: when game choses your oppnnent in a current battle? At my yesterday’s evening i take a look at my opponent at a palace and chose not to fight him and wait for a morning to have a tactical picture of the day. And my opponent was different.

Just my opinion, not having been able to see score through the first guild wars promoted communication, coordination and team work. I think it was great, great rewards too!
