Anyone else tired of 2 TW back-to-back?
I personally really dislike these being back to back. And seeing how my guild's participation is going down each and every time, I don't think I'm the only one.
Are we going to keep this cadence up or will it eventually be:
LS territory battle
TW
DS territory battle
TW
???

I can feel the frustration among my guild
It's a job...

Not just signing up, but participation...
Our problem seems to be with Territory Battles, not that anyone explicitly says so. My activity tracking just suggests a sharp drop in participation the fourth day onwards (I'd say anywhere from 10 to 30%; I should see what happens when I'm annoying with command notices). Even activity tracking for TW is easier than TB (I still need to do a bunch of data entry stuff for the last one, ugh).
Plan once play twice.
I can see officers getting a little burnt on it if they try to change stuff too much between, but if they spread them out like that, officers won't get any breaks. Need to recruit get people changed in and out, and plan the next TW and organize TBs.... at least this way you can ignore the second one as it's the same plan as the first.
Except for the ire of your guild.
I wish they would double the rewards and halve the number of TWs. With the new raid pretty much always going on my guild is getting pretty burnt out.
No, it's exactly the same as the last few times. Opens Sat, set defense Sun, attack Mon. Opens Tues, set defense Wed, attack Thurs. No change at all.
I seriously can't stand these comments that come around every cycle. There's literally a two day break built in. First day literally just click join, second day put in a handful of your preset teams. Takes like 30 seconds total.
Oh also, if you really don't enjoy the best part of the game (imo), then just sit one out. It helps your guild to have a few spots empty. Mine is 95mil guild, but we usually have somewhere between 80-90mil active GP in each TW with people being busy.
As much as I like to poke at the devs about the matchmaking issues, I completely agree with two of your biggest points here.
1. It is a trivial matter to join, and deploy defensive units. This isn't a valid complaint. There are legit areas for improvement in other aspects of the game, but TW timing and the first two days of action aren't one of them.
2. I actually agree that it's one of the best, it not the best, game mode. YMMV depending on your guild, but that's not a dev issue. I have a blast in TW.
1 button to join, then 30 seconds to deploy... unless you're an officer. It's a full day's work.
Another post had it right. Plan once, deploy twice. Ask your guild mates to create preset squads. Set your defenses. And come to an agreement that you want everyone to battle on offense in the first TW and in the second, don't stress it. You'd be amazed how amenable your guild will be to this setup.
I don't find the rewards that great, but that is because we are in the 30 - 39 GP rewards zone each time (our guild is 46M GP). I either get one zeta or one omega. Not a lot of GEC for either. My point being, unless you are in a powerful GP guild, the rewards are very MEH compared to TB, which is terrific even at our 18 stars.
I have gone from highly disliking the TWs to just disliking them though. When we get to the 50M GP rewards I'm sure it will be more enticing to do participate.
I would think that drop off is when the GP needed to get stars is at a level too high to get 2 on (or maybe 3 depending on your guild's GP) so people become MEH if they don't participate before that 1 or 2 star mark and it becomes moot. Just my opinion though.
Depends on the guild and what the officers do.
I'm an officer in a fairly casual guild. We do have a strategy for defense, but I stay out of that part of management. My thing is running the raids.
Perhaps you guys should split up your duties, or if you're already doing that, maybe rotate them. Then you don't burn out.
At least in TW u don't need to play for +30 min just for find nice RNG against nihilus
