Thanks for listening to feedback!

Although I am extremely disappointed that there's no additional changes for late NA / SEA in the 5-10 UTC area. Since launch this time zone has been severely neglected and I mistakenly thought this new system would be more inclusive. (Launch was nothing from 0500-11 UTC and consolidated changed it to 0400-1600)

@Seldom dont lower the soft cap to 50% they will be ruled by bringing better equipment and not by skill. You should leave at all levels the 80% cap at level 8-9 is debatable to open at 50%. Please reconsider this.

No chanсe for +5 utc players.
13 is too early, 20 is too late

I cant play current crystal gvg because of it is too late and new system dont solve this at all

Raising the floor of IP is enough if you open the soft cap to less than 80% they will return the problems of conventional GvG where people with too much wealth will step on the small entities making less and less people play CL over the time.

Taking into account that with the new IP floor, the specializations and the equipment are part of the entry point, lowering the soft cap will make it the richest one has the greatest chance of winning when in reality the Crystal League plan according to the roadmap was that you can "self sponsor" with 50% today, entities with T8.1+ equipment are seen in IP caps of 1000 annihilating new entities without so much wealth.

@Seldom

1.
would be nice if you could set level 1 to 700-800 and artificially boost everyone’s IP by 300-200 to account for the meta, but if not this is still better

2.
could all crystals (or at least NA, don’t know how other regions times are for them) now be moved forward an hour? I imagine the goal with movin 1-3 back an hour would be to to overlap the 1-3 and 4 timers to let new players have days with no higher end players in their crystals.
The problems here are that level 6-7 are still very late for some in NA and that now, we have daily crystals overlapping with one of the prime times in the NA timezone at 3UTC, making it so guilds that crystal won’t be able to defend their territories/hideouts
The other option is to add a second level 1-3 at the previous time so we just get more fights every day which would be awesome

thanks for listening, hopefully we can continue cleaning this up and get something great for queen



also, is there a reason we can’t have crystals running hourly on a level 1 then 2 then 3 then 1...... rotation? Is there an issue with the amount of players that would be in them or something making level 2-3 too easy?

Good changes overall, but as others said, the soft cap should be kept at 80% until at least tier 3, otherwise you'll just be enabling gear snowballing, which is the opposite of what the system should try to achieve.

No late SEA

Keep the soft cap at 80% or even raise it to 100% so it remains a matter of pure skill and not a pay to win format.

Actually i think the initial floor of 700 IP for level 1 was totally right since the newcomers´ IP with a tier 4 set will be somewhere around that number because they dont have any progress in their specs yet. Raising it will make it harder and/or more expensive for them.
Not to mention that level 1 to 3 tokens will be tradeable in the market so we can start directly from level 3.

Perhaps an IP progression like this would be better:

Lvl. 1: 700
Lvl. 2: 900
Lvl. 3: 1100
Lvl. 4: 1200
Lvl. 5: 1300
Lvl. 6: 1400
Lvl. 7: 1500
Lvl. 8: 1600
Lvl. 9: 1700 (or even no cap at this point)

whats even the point of this, theres even less timeslots per day than now, making it less accessible

And then you go even further full retard and lock the most important fights behind saturday and sunday


well at least you acomplished your goal, killed gvgs



As long as consumables are untouched, softcap is pointless

Good first step. Now please allow us to play these new GvG's whenever we want or at least every 2 hours please.

Thank you for listening to the feedback! These new IP caps look much better.

Please consider adding more timers.

Thanks for listening to feedback.

More timers with slightly reduced rewards seems to be to everyone's benefit.

I'd love if 1 2 3 were staggered and cycling. It would feel like mini "Tournaments" and action that often could get people really into 5v5. Currently teams avoid bringing new players in part because they only get one crystal per day and they want to win. I would play with various teams from my guild throughout the day with this system.

Add More timers and softcap of 80% and we are good to go.

3 utc its already 12 AM on Argentina, then 4 and 5 utc, 1 and 2 am?
Why are you guys refusing to add more timeslots? You have a Global server, with 3 timeslots you wont have everybody happy.

20 utc its 17.00pm, we come from work around 18/19 pm.
Waking up at 6am

Albion have a big population of Brazilian , Chilean and Argentinian players.

The only way we can play with those timeslots its quitting our jobs.

If the point is to focus on skill... The IP cap should remain in 80%+. There is no real skill difference with a 250 ip advantage

wow, Just like some people said up in this thread, game will be ruled by equipment and not by skills. Keep 80% and make some changes at highest levels, like 8 or 9 to balance

There's not currently a problem with people overgearing crystals at 50% IP cap. Most killboards from the crystal gvgs are within 80IP and t7 towers are much more important than level 1-3 crystals will be.

You're one of these who were killing newbies in 6.1 with your 8.1 in Anglia hommie. There is a HUGE problem with snowball with 50% soft cap. 80% in every level. I can debate 8-9 because are final fights but 1-7 need to have 80% or the system will be the same as today the GvG's.

the cap can not go below 80% or the objective of it would be totally lost, it is a very bad idea to lower the cap I hope to reconcile that.

Yeah if only the best GVG team didn't wear 8.1, then X noob guild wouldve won season. Damn. The irony of your comment is that June was built from a team that grew confident dominating veteran teams in 6.1 crystal GvGs.

If a team is having trouble gearing 6.1 they're likely not going to fair well against experienced teams.
