I noticed there's a pretty close clan race going on at the moment: 222k (Aflac) vs. 214k (Arma).

How are things working out with the new energy system? Is there a lot of targeting of competing clans going on or are people mostly just waiting on the regen from easy targets? I know there are some that want the old CS system, but the majority of the feedback I've seen has been pretty positive.

I try to only fight arma people.
Gotta help out Aflac. :) I actually broke Arma's lead. hehe

I really like it. Every time you log on, its a surprise how many attacks you received, and how much energy was lost/gained. If i could, i'd target members from Arma, but they're not in my level range (not that i can beat at least). So i have to collect from others around me. There's no shortage of targets and energy.

Also, the limit of 20 members is interesting. You cant afford to let slackers stay on the team for too long. Unfortunately this meant we had to kick quite a lot of new, potentially good players, because they weren't active enough. But this only adds to the management aspect of the game.

And its indeed interesting to see what happens when clans form alliances. Since everyone in a clan is a potential target, you have to weigh 'do i want to piss him off? or look for another target?'

Most of the bots around my level are bad so I can get some score but I get lazy.

Looks like everything is good, except the clansize. I still think that 20 is too low number

I like the low clan sizes. Either a guild can have 4 players with 5 bots each, or have 20 players with 1 bot.

20 players per clan is just the right amount

System looks good, but I also feel it could be demotivating for Bots with a non optimized built (like my own).

Now I don't really mind myself, as I know my energy is an easy steal, but it creates a very one sided overview if you browse accross the levels.

The optimized bots (30000 energy) vs the ones that get attacked once every hour (0 energy).

Not sure how it could be fixed, but it is sure an interesting way to score and rank.

Atleast it's limiting to the amount of whoring, because a whore will only give out 20 energy/hour and not always to the person that made the whore.

im still sitting on a fence considering which clan i should help :D

Gr33n is right, it's great fun for perfect builds, but it is massive punishment for newbies who don't know what they're doing.

There seems almost no point being in a clan unless your bot is at least semi decent, and even the semi decent will be raped of their energy by perfect builds.

But I don't know what you can do to stop that other than modify the perfect builds set up or something.

I forgot to add energy is good because it makes you fight better bots and rewards you, just wish there was more builds out there that can compete with these perfect builds

Well I like to see how the diffrence between clans are droping by raping your enemys. It is intersting, well see how it will end.



Mr2 do what your heart says

It surley should say to stick with the best ;)

my heart says "rape the shit out of every bot you see"

:D

"rape the shit out of every bot you see"

A good filosophy.

I like the new system. It makes me really like my dex/shield bot because its harder for people to take my energy. And now Im just sitting and waiting for players to level past me so I can get in on the taking of energy.

armageddon i leading atm by quite a margin. so lets make it more interesting and attack them.


ill start first, with fnixz >D

You attacked Pukalasas [80] 22 times.
You won 8 times and lost 14 times.
You gained 494,009 exp.
You lost 1,718,934 kudos.


shit, looks like ill end up helping arma if i continue XD

done my job and "donated" 68 energy by losing to an aflac bot :)

thats just wrong and makes you a whore.

right way would be to take energy off arma guys, not give energy to aflac.

i think :o

Nah, just take it, then quit the clan so they can´t get it back.

also did that with ~20. I just couldn't beat him more regularly.

Dumped my energy so I had zero, then attacked the Arma guy.
Both ways work. Does it make me a whore bot? Nope, it's clever use of game mechanics, this way I support the clan I want to ;)

I can't really help with the mass gaining of energy. Not to many targets.

As long as you can go better than 33% wins in theory you should come out slightly ahead on energy.

For ease of maths, assume you get an average of 20 points for a win and lose 10 for a loss.

yes, 34 - 66 = profit
