meh, w15 problems...not relevant to the topic at hand.
How does the player know what clothes to put then? If the player is offline during battle won't know if they equip Cortina or Bull, Aster or CaptainYou should add the Freelancer option to FF signup screen and then let the AI assign these freelancers 1h before the fight to whatever side needs it more
The simplest solution would be: add a third option from attack/defend: “Go for balance”. Then some algorithm will decide whether to put you in attack or defense and present you that window.How does the player know what clothes to put then?

although...many would not choose that option since they have decided to always go for defense, whethor balanced or not.The simplest solution would be: add a third option from attack/defend: “Go for balance”.

As far as I understand solutions were discussing are the ones that dont require dev work? Or am I mistaken?The simplest solution would be: add a third option from attack/defend: “Go for balance”. Then some algorithm will decide whether to put you in attack or defense and present you that window.
yes, this would have to be a dev change. -- they aren't impossible, just very unlikely to happen. The simpler the request (in terms of each of dev work, likelihood to cause disruption, and ease of understanding for Devs, CMs, supporters, and players alike) the more likely it is to be consideredAs far as I understand solutions were discussing are the ones that dont require dev work?

i like it. 3 years away topsThe simplest solution would be: add a third option from attack/defend: “Go for balance”. Then some algorithm will decide whether to put you in attack or defense and present you that window.
Third, Syntex bro I know you dont like me but Im not trying to be offensive now. Im not sure if what youre doing now is your decision or if its someone with a higher position than yours thats forcing you to do this whole Fort Balancing thingy but I just wanted to tell you that its completely useless (as I stated in the previous message). Theres nothing you or Goober or even Etriel herself can do to make this game or the fort fights themselves dependent mostly on caps, ratios or whatever you call it. If players themselves dont want things to be balanced, if they themselves dont want to have quality fort fights then unless you start banning people that are refusing to cooperate with others (which you obviously wont do because that would be another level) all your work in terms of balancing fort fights is useless.
Then change the name to w15 forum. As you can not do that, get over itSo first of all people should already understand that .net forum will mostly be about Colorado and stop complaining about it.
I have no issues reading about other worlds, you have issues reading about colorado. Guess youre the one that should get over it.Then change the name to w15 forum. As you can not do that, get over it![]()
You should add the Freelancer option to FF signup screen and then let the AI assign these freelancers 1h before the fight to whatever side needs it more (similar like its done with adventures). Not sure how difficult that is to implement but it would help with balancing since a lot of freelancers sign up for the side which is more likely to win and get more bonds.
These are really great ideas, I'd love to see a 3rd button "for balance", perhaps 3rd party signups are simply automatically locked out of the implied stronger side, if it has significantly more signups than the other side. Even if this is just another tool that CM's/Battle strategist teams can use when needed.The simplest solution would be: add a third option from attack/defend: “Go for balance”. Then some algorithm will decide whether to put you in attack or defense and present you that window.
Ultimately it is the designees of the black hats of the "founding towns" of the largest alliances who objectively represent and speak on behalf of their alliance members who constitute the vast majority of regular fort fighters.I would like to know, because it was never fully disclosed, how these conversations about re-balancing fort fights (specifically CO) are taking place and with whom are they being conducted with.
If I am to be constructive, then I would need to have this sort of information made available to us ALL. It concerns me that something is still awry, and call it what you will, but it stems from a distrust in community leadership that began with employing select players to be their guiding force. and not consulting with the world at large, entirely. I'm aware of the polls, and open feedback discussions, but not all was made public and still has not been.
So, I'll ask again, what sort of roster numbers are you looking for with the fort balancing team (is it a lot? is it +1- 2 more strategist?) and have the conversation portals that were privately held by players with mod/devs still ongoing or have those also been culled?
Lastly, I really like the idea of a "balancing" option for registration on fort fights. Goober has been fantastic in revealing that information in saloon in a timely manner, if ever asked about it (regarding Awesomia battles, at least) and its so very helpful to players that have the flexibility to go where needed.
Thumbs up for that idea!
I also say "represent and speak on behalf of". If towns feel their alliance founding towns do not represent them they are welcome to leave their alliance. If players feel their town black hats (i.e. those who decide on alliance membership) do not represent them, they are welcome to leave their town. If a significant number of regular Fort Fighters outside of the major alliances band together, they are welcome to designate an individual to represent them in discussions.how is that not a contradiction?
What's a significant number? Where do we apply? Why are designees from large alliances automatically given a seat at discussions, and others have to rally "significant" support to try to decipher WHERE these conversations are taking place and HOW to become a part of them. It's madness trying to get answers and yet transparency is the stated objective here. I'm over asking at this point and will just wait to see what these players and mods have worked out.If a significant number of regular Fort Fighters outside of the major alliances band together, they are welcome to designate an individual to represent them in discussions.
The intent is to address the concerns of the vast majority of Fort Fighters; The major alliances represent that.What's a significant number? Where do we apply?
