Refining [WOE]: Embracing Unity through One Castle

Erfa79

The current setup of the woe presents certain issues that warrant consideration. I would like to highlight a few key points concerning this situation:

Lack of Focus and Challenge:
The simultaneous opening of all castles diminishes the competitive aspect of the event. If a guild faces difficulties capturing the first castle, they can easily switch to attempting another castle, which reduces the need for strategic planning and perseverance.

Strategic Significance:
Opening all castles at once eliminates the strategic importance of castle selection and control. It doesn't offer guilds the opportunity to prioritize and strategize their efforts based on their strengths and the castles' unique features.

++++++++++++++

I'd like to propose a revised approach for the woe by suggesting that only one castle be opened during woe. Here are the reasons behind this recommendation:

Fostering Competitiveness:
Restricting the event to a single castle would intensify the competitive nature of the battles. Guilds would need to strategize and plan meticulously to secure control over the sole available castle, leading to more thrilling and engaging gameplay. This restricting can be test for a month or 2 duration.

Consolidating Rewards:
If various castles currently offer distinct rewards, consolidating these rewards into a single castle would provide a compelling incentive for guilds to focus their efforts on capturing and defending that specific castle. This would amplify the significance of castle control and contribute to a more dynamic event.

Reward Relevance:
It might be beneficial to review and update the rewards to align them with the current game version. This adjustment would ensure that the rewards are meaningful and motivating for players while maintaining a balanced gameplay experience.

Inclusive Participation Rewards:
To acknowledge and appreciate the participation of all players, incorporating rewards for event participation would underscore the value of their involvement. This approach would demonstrate that every participant's contribution is recognized and respected.

Special Tokens for Participation:
Introducing a unique token system for participating players could offer a valuable currency that can be utilized in subsequent war events. These tokens could be exchanged for items or advantages that assist guilds in their preparations for future battles.

By adopting these suggestions, the woe can evolve into a more captivating and strategic experience, one that encourages competition, enhances rewards, and acknowledges the commitment of all participants. This approach holds the potential to rejuvenate the event and foster a more vibrant and engaged player community.

Thank you for taking the time to consider these suggestions. Your attention to these proposed changes is greatly appreciated. We believe that implementing these adjustments could bring a new level of excitement and engagement to the Woe. We hope these ideas resonate with you and the community, and we look forward to the possibility of seeing them come to life. Your consideration is valued, and we're optimistic about the positive impact these changes could have on the overall gameplay experience. Thank you once again, and we eagerly await your decision.

Best regards,
Erfa

to 1st thats the point so smaller guilds even have a chance to get something...
and there s no lack in strategy you still need to carefully plan or you get home without a castle

to 2nd ppl play to fight although 5 castles are open we usually are constantly fighting

to 3rd ABSOLUTELY NO
Please don t ruin this woe like nova did opening only 1 castle at a time will result in the following loop

Strongest guild takes the castle
2nd strongest will attempt to conquer and fail
other guilds go in another guild is defending the entrance -->die
rebuff at spawn --> go back in and hope ent is free...
repeat
Do you want this to happen?!?

to 4th same as mentioned in 3rd

to 5th i having different unique castles is a nice idea but would be extreemly hard to balance. New items in guild treasure boxes would be nice but why not upgrade all boxes the same way?

7th this would result in a lot of troll players that would only want the reward and not really play and just be there ideling or so - not really a fan exept the gm team somehow can manage that

8th those coins could be put into treasure boxes.

I m still against this as mentioned above the woe right now is very much official and i enjoy it idk if you are playing or not (if not you should...) but the woe here really is fun.
Why don t make a seperate WoE for those that actually want this?
And to dual client why? you know how hard it is to play with dual client?(i bet you don t since you don t play woe here...) and it doesn t make much of a difference just kill the alts once and they re gone for a while.
and also i am usually with only 1 char inside a castle.
Please don t ruin woe like Nova did. And i Assume you don t play woe here, if so it would be nice of you to not make any woe related suggestions! Play it first! And if you don t want to, then leave the players who actually play their fun ty.

Hello CannonMeat,

I hope you're doing well. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on my 'suggestion,' and I appreciate your response.

I have a question: Why do you play Woe?

First and foremost, my intention isn't to undermine your enjoyment or disrupt your gameplay.
I've got an idea, and I wanted to share it. I don't just throw out ideas randomly; I believe it has the potential to make WoE even better in MuhRo.

Otherwise, I might keep hearing the same old stuff like this when I tried to invite my friends,
"is it active? how many guild? what? u call a low attendance a woe? what's the dev doing? no update?"

But I get where you're coming from. It'd be a bummer if my idea was accepted, and then players like you – who I totally respect – decided not to join because it felt like deja vu.
Its just that most of my contributed time experiencing a seemingly empty battlefield. And I don't want other people's time wasted like I do.

Not much else going on. Only a few liek 2 groups people fighting at warp emp. I hope that you are one of them. But if you're there, then I assume that you too enjoy that very moment. Imagine if more groups were in on it – that'd be a blast, right? That scene could be so much more exhilarating when gather all the crowd at 1 castle.

Thats the only moment where we push ourself to the limits. Oh I really miss that moment. and Fyi, am a person who like to push my upmost limit especially in siege when facing strong people like you. I like that.

That can only be happen when more people gathered here. Just one castle for all the action. That way, it's all eyes on that single important castle. We're talking about creating something that really stands out, adding more excitement, and drawing in a crowd that makes things pop.

That's the only way we could say proudly I work hard to get that castle. If those reward updated with more unique items, it will be more interesting and with that, we could make new guildies who dig the same interest. Form alliances, make a few rivals – it'd be like a real more thrilling adventure. That is how you form a strong guild. The need is there..
Don't you know?

Anyway,

You mentioned the scenario of "ruined WoE" like what happened in NovaRo. The fact that you can recall and picture that scenario vividly from NovaRo speaks volumes.
Shows how a big change can stick with you. That's the kind of impact we experience when more people participate.

Its all eyes on 1 Castle or..
"OMG THERES PPL, ENEMY.. FINALLY SOME ACTIONS!!!
IVE DEDICATED MY WHOLE TIME TO GET THIS OP RIDICULUS HARD OBTAINED GEAR TO FIGHT U.."
"OMG HOW MANY COMING!!"
"1 person...."
And ded.. Nvm.. Lets wait till finish.
and the wait begins...

Please tell me the current situation is as compelling as what you've described from the past.

So, when people ask you, "How's WoE in MuhRo?" I hope your answer will be just as cool and memorable as those woe moments that stayed with you.

Take care,

Choi

I agree that having 5 castles is a lot. I haven't woed too much on this server, but 5 castles is a lot for the low population that actually play WoE.

However, I do like the idea of having multiple castles because it opens up a lot of strategic diversity and allows smaller guilds to be able to contest well if the larger guilds are spreading out their numbers. I think even with multiple castles (so long as there's less than 5), you can still have those big memorable moments.

I think we should lower the number of guild castles; 5 is too much. Maybe just 2 or 3 castles would be good, and we can add castles and remove castles depending on how it goes.

This sounds good too.. 2 or 3 castle.

Thank you for dropping the idea!

However need i remind you that this is just a suggestion.
I just present the idea that i hope it do good to the server.

That is all.

I have a bit to say to every one of the points on your post:

Lack of Focus and Challenge: I don't think this a lack of focus and/or challenge. Having extra castles help people with less gears/experience to have some kind of reward to play during an hour. You still need to plan some castle sieges or defenses leaving less people at the other castles keeping them exposed.
Strategic Significance: I agree that 5 castles is a bit too much for the low amount of people playing right now, i think 3 castles should be enough.
Fostering Competitiveness: I don't think having a single castle would help with that. Yeah, it would be good to focus all the GvG's and the action on one single place, but that only benefits geared and big guilds. 3 castles seems good enough.
Consolidating Rewards: I agree with you, but the different items might cause a bit of difficulty in balance, maybe different costumes might work.
Reward Relevance: What do you mean by "updating" the rewards? I'm fine with "classic" rewards and adding some costumes, even WoE TE focused gears to keep in interesting and "balanced".
Inclusive Participation Rewards: This is hard to balance, since i can leave a guild full of alts inside a castle and get all the rewards. You need some kind of point system to get rewarded; for example depending on each class you can get more or less points for certain actions. For example DPS classes getting less points per kill than support classes, but that seems pretty complicated.
Special Tokens for Participation: I'm not opposed to that, getting slightly better gears from a Special Token shop (maybe 1% or 2% better resistances/damage output) or for other WoE consumables.

Hello Wilchu!
Yes! 3 castles sounds good actually. I like that one!

Also great idea about rewarding with costumes.

My main point is because opening all castle. Restrict it to 3 sounds even better.

Thank you for your suggestion with better idea!
