Rebooting the Wack System Started by: Billy_Bathtub on Feb 09, '10 19:35

We have made as many adjustments as we were able to in the wacking system - however, any further adjustments would not be able to be put in since it would create an unfair advantage to people who had to work it up the old way versus people working their skill the new way.  If there is any time where we could put in a new system that would only nerf a small few, by all means we will.  Until then, you have been given all the tools you need to level the playing field - the courage/wit to use them, however, is really up to you.

Perhaps it would be better to change the amount of time between shots on BGs, in comparison to killing other characters? Allow 3-4 BG shots instead of a character kill? That way you can have 5 guys go through... 20 BGs instead of 5. With the insane number of BGs people purchase these days, this may be a great correction to the original 1-shot-per-hour theory.

Lucretia (grhs) gave the idea of killing multiple bodyguards if you have a strong gun. I disagree, because whoever witnesses it will know your gun strength. "You witnessed Lucretia_Borgia BG WACK! 7 of Deimne's bodyguards." Damn. Borgia's got a cannon. This would weight heavily in a war, when you have multiple people attacking 1 person's BGs. If it isn't stealthed, they'll be able to see who shot the most BGs, and can identify which hitter is the most powerful.

If you keep it to 1-kill per shot, and just decrease the shot timer, it may balance out some of the issues listed here.

"That way you can have 5 guys go through... 20 BGs instead of 5."

 

That's the problem right there.  I can't reward a crewleader for ignoring his own members :(

 

Multiple shots are already allowed on a single BG within a 1 minute window, so, little tiny earners+ can drop BGs like theres no tomorrow.  I can't justify making any more changes as long as 90% of the crew are told to "sit and wait" during a war.  When the current tools are used and outgrown, I would be more than happy to give you guys more tools, but until then, you need to stop ignoring the other 90% of your crew (who mostly all have guns that can be VERY VERY effective in BG wars).  You guys have been handed gatlin guns that can mow down fields of BGs, but you guys simply choose to ignore them and prefer to wage the war with your trusted few. :)

I don't know how accurate the statement is about not using 90% of the crews, but I would assume you looked it up, so it's probably right. Maybe I've always just been on the right side of a war, but the beginning of all wars for me in the recent past(6+ months) have all started out with a city wide mail saying if you have less than X kills, get to here and shoot BG's, if you have more, contact so-and-so.

Though I should point out for the past year I've always been lead in a war by Billy, Sat, and FlyingPig, all of whom know very well how to effectively utilize every single gun.
