Feedback Wanted: Site Conflict Adjustments (3.2)

[TheDinoWarrior]

Instead of dicsussing what adjustments should be made for the ATTACK/HEAL ratio..

What if Devs can just build that aspect similar to how sites are held by DV in different servers relative to playerbase activity

(FOR EXAMPLE I DONT THINK EU1 ATTACK/HEAL RATIO IS COMPATIBLE WITH EU4 BECAUSE MORE ENEMIES IN INACTIVE SERVER FOR ATTACKERS COMPARED TO ACTIVE SERVERS SO ATTACKERS NEED HIGHER DRAIN RATIO IN INACTIVE SERVERS)

This system is same as how Dinoville decides to hold towers relative to playerbase activity, and i think this makes everything balanced.

Thanks for reading and sorry for caps. @Highway @Alewx

 

[Luka Patajac]

Towers being held by dv is based on townhall activity not actual player activity tho

Townhall activity = players activity who choose to apply.

p.s it depends on server activity status which is dictated by number of active players attacking/healing in a particular server.

Activity in reference to how? players who connect to hunt or players who connect to drain and defend? I think it is placed in the city hall because if there are many players nominated, a lot of fame is needed, that is, many towers, You are partly right but for that they took the city council into reference.

Players who connect to drain and defend for reference.

Ok we have the alternative idea ready for the dynamic drain and other elements as a planned update package.
We hope it can improve certain aspects and make it more fair for all clans to claim/defend sites.

We plan to have a public PTR for this as well to test if the machanics work as they should and you will be able to get your hands on it early before it hits the live servers by the end of the month.

Here is a little overview what it will be in the box:

Site Owner based dynamic drain speed
Introduce a variable drain speed for sites depending on how many sites the clan currently owns vs the opponent owned sites. It should make takeovers and defending easier if the owned buildings diverge greatly between involved clans.

• Drain rate will dynamically change during conflict as site are getting reclaimed
  • Drain rate will increase for the attacker if the clan has less sites than the site owner clan.
  • Drain rate will decrease for the attacker if the clan has more sites than the site owner clan.
• Repair rate remain at a fixed rate of 20 (32min)
• Only the highest drain rate is activly shown when multiple clans are attacking a site at the same time
  • Clan/player effort is based on the their own drain rate though

Initial value table for the drain based in the site count difference (Times are without defenders present). It also shows the ratio between drain and repair speed on the right side. (eg. 100% = same duration, 50% = duration doubled)

Site Yield HP increase and dollar upgrade prices

• Increase base HP of site to 38400
• Change that yields upgrades increase HP instead of decreasing it by up to 200% HP on max yield
  • Good => 48000 HP
  • Great => 60000 HP
  • Excellent => 76800 HP
• Introduce static dollar site yield upgrade prices (clan dollars)
  • Good => 10000
  • Great => 28000
  • Excellent => 45000

Adrenaline Buffed

• Getting Attacker or Defender of a site grants an “Adrenaline” buff to the player, that will run for 10 seconds and gets re-applied before it expires automatically as long as the player is an active defender/attacker in the building radius
• “Adrenaline” Buff gives:
  • “Defender Adrenaline” for defenders
    • 4x incoming damage reduction from all PVP players that don't have the
      “Attacker Adrenaline” buff
  • “Attacker Adrenaline” for attackers
    • 4x incoming damage reduction from all PVP players that don't have the
      “Defender Adrenaline” buff
  • When attacker and defender fighting against each other should be able to play as usual, but side clans will have a debuff with it.

Take your time to thing to read the aspects here carefully and try to think how it will affect your server/clan etc.
Again it would be great to get your feedback, questions here so this final draft can be fine tuned before it goes live.

how many hp the gate can it reach on max yield?

[Alewx]

View attachment 47715

I quickly added it to the post

 

[NazzaFire]

I don't think increasing gate/claim HP would help , because if the attackers are few they are put in difficulty and if they would have less time available to take the tower, then something different could happen

1 hour of attack and 4 hours seems long for us players who like pvp ?

From the table you can see that as an attacker that has an advantage when attacking someone with more building than they have.

Advantage: you own less buildings than the holding clan.
Disadvantage: you own more buildings than the holding clan.

 

[Luka Patajac]

• Introduce static dollar site yield upgrade prices
  • Good => 10000

This is in clan dollars right?

How will players know who's is defender who is attacker will there be like a icon/badge to indicate that like outlaw with skill and duelist with 2 guns?

 

[Alewx]

There is a visualization above each player that is having the buff; defenders have it in green, and attackers in red/orange, and as it is a buff it is listed in the buffs that are currently active.

again, wouldn't adrenaline rush be used the same way by allied clans? I think 1 clan should attack and get a buff, if 1 clan attacked, then in this case 2 or more clans cannot join?

 

[SPA]

@Highway my bad, I understand that "attacking adrenaline" will take the same damage against "defender adrenaline" but another clan will not be able to help the defender because he will not work because this same clan will receive the same "attacking adrenaline"?

Yes site owners/defenders can not get an ally clan to join in to get the "site defence adrenaline". Only the owner can get it. They an only support in direct combat to other attackers but will do 4x less damage and have a lesser impact by this.

On the other hand mutliple attacking clans can get their "site attacker adrnaline" as it is valid mechanic that more clans fight to overtake a single building. Surely they can team up but if they fight each other both sides get 4x less damage.

I think it gets clearer on the PTR how it works

Question: Does the adrenaline boost apply to all attackers, i.e. 2 or more attacking clans? Or the first clan to drain it? because there are times when 3 clans attack a tower at the same time because this means that the allied clans can also rely on this, they only have to attack the allied towers to finish off the attackers then leave this circle

 

[Hardwell]

Wait in this chart clan that hold little gate will they still be able to retain their high healing rate? Seems like when you hold 3 or 4 gates your healing power only reaches 36% max

I believe any clan/player that attacks can gain the "attacker" buff but only holder of building that is attacked can get "defender" buff

 

[Luka Patajac]

So from this chart the more buildings holder has their healing rate is slower if both drainer and attacker are in circle?

 

[Orochii]

The effect of adrenaline will be nullified in a battle between Defenders and Attackers? Because if it's not countered, I, the attacker, just need to place a tank dinosaur and not counterattack, just stay alive with the -4x damage bonus.

Healing rate is set to a fixed value and will not change (check changelog)
The right table shows the relation to the drain rate from the left table

So repair for basic and repair for excellent is still 20?
