GbG ,GvG is a competition against other guilds, Your team plays to beat other guilds, The goal is to conquer more sectors than the other guilds. What do you get from GvG, GbG? the same thing you get from winning monopoly.
Although I disagree with you many times I agree with you here. The city options are , attack , goods/resources , FP production , for aesthetics only, GB collecting , event building/avatar collecting and finally defence. All cities are built with a purpose outside of just building it with some but few exceptions.
Angry Blanket & Johnny B. Goode - I think you guys are arguing flip sides of the same coin. You build and improve your city to improve your chances in GBG, GE, and GvG. You also participate in GBG, GE, and GvG to gain the resources to improve your city. It’s like asking is a PB&J a peanut butter sandwich with jelly or a jelly sandwich with peanut butter. They are both true, aren’t they?
With the sandwiches, yes. With this disagreement, no. Most players don't bother with or don't have access to GvG. And GBG is such a recent addition that to say preparing for it is the point of your city development is ignoring most of this game's existence. And GE is such an easy feature to master, generally speaking, that developing a city for it wouldn't take much. So no, we are not arguing flip sides of the same coin.
Amazing. Do you have a radar for when I'm talking to someone that lets you know so you can interject your misinterpretations? If you think that SANDWICHES is in any way the point of my post, then you need remedial reading. Listen, you're pretty knowledgeable about the game, although like everyone you can be wrong once in a while. But you need to get over this irrational hatred of me.
Non stop pedantic arguments is the point. A point missed as usual.
Did you delete the post I replied to...or was it deleted by a moderator for being a personal attack? I'm pretty sure I know the answer, as this post of yours is also a personal attack with nothing added about the topic being discussed.
That is probably the worst idea I've heard for GBG. Remove attrition? That's the only thing that keeps the farming from being unlimited. Those "power-house guilds" that you refer to would swap sectors every four hours at no cost with your suggestion. At least with attrition they are forced to spend some guild Treasury goods for it. And every sector would be up for farming, not just those next to other sectors with building slots. That would leave zero sectors for the have-nots on any given map. I can tell you that there are at least tens of thousands of players who could fight endlessly in GBG if there were no attrition. The only limit would be time...and whether there was anyone else there capable of swapping sectors. Personally, in my FE city I could fight for as long as there was a sector I didn't own, with the only limitation being the time I have to devote to the game...and how long the skin on my fingertips could hold out.
At 25% for 4 SC and a tower would stop most guilds from building at all and just leave it straight attrition. All of the Atoms and Obs would become virtually obsolete unless it’s a heavy GVG guild. GE would be a one shot goods payment per season so no need for 200k goods per day for the larger guilds. No more reason to cooperate in GBG and that would change it into whole map swaps in waves throughout the day vying for 1st place.
Yeah, well I said it was a worse idea.
Same situation in Q , my guild has about 30 higher attrition members and the rest make the minimums or slightly higher. A guild loads up with all high att players and the rest would get dumped so that guild will hold first place indefinitely.
Nobody said 66% was a "magic number". The developers seem to have made it clear why 100% is a bad number. It's because that number turned GBG into something the developers did not intend it to be. So from the point of view of game balance, they deemed it to be a bad number. (Three years late, but better late than never. I'm looking at you, Arc.) And 25% is a bad number because it is barely more useful than 0%, and yet would cost guild Treasury goods for very little effect. 66% may not be a "magic number", but the developers apparently feel that it strikes the game balance that they intended in the first place with GBG. And the testing will tell them if they are right from their perspective. If so, it may make it to the live servers. If not, then it's probably back to the drawing board for them.
