As some of you may know, there was an issue in The Dragon War where some players were able to earn more points than the maximum possible score. Since this is a PvP, Coalition event, we’d like to enlist the help of as many players as possible, so we can ensure the most accurate results.
Join The Dragon War - Beta Test
The event is scheduled for Nov, 30th 8:00 PM (UTC) until Dec, 3rd 6:00 PM (UTC), and just like the Duel Decks Beta Tests, players will be able to keep all the rewards earned. Since this event is currently in the state of Beta, please keep in mind that some minor errors might occur, however we absolutely appreciate players’ assistance in helping this event run smoothly in the future.
Yes. For those who do not wish to participate in The Dragon War beta test, Return of the God-Pharaoh will be run at the same time as an alternative option for them.
I’m not a developer, but my guess is that they want to replicate the exact details as it would be run normally. Any deviations from the regular settings may potentially skew the results.
If I am following you correctly, you are worried about the over all coalition score?
i.e.
GP: 3 members
AA: 6 members
TP: 3 members
XX: 1 member
because this is about personal scores going over what normally can be achieved which of course plays into the coalition score by default. Our end coalition score is competitively irrelevant when it is the end personal score that is the problem.
If this wasn’t a beta test… then yes, your concerns are 100% valid
Why run this event at the same time as another coalition event?
Could you please check the possibility of running the beta test during the week. I am sure players would be much more willing to play if the beta is not run at the same time as another coalition event.
I personally would not give 100% commitment to beta if it run concomitant to a coalition event
Eh, and I am sure many players want more stuff on the weekends. Thanks for listening to those players. I know I’ll gladly take another coalition event running concurrently if it gives me something to do on a Sunday.
I still don’t understand the difference between a Beta that accepts everyone that applies, is a coalition event, and lets us keep the rewards and just running the event normally.
But I’m not a programming or app development person, so whatever.
I believe at this moment the points would still apply to existing coalition scores, however the team is currently looking into whether or not they are able to disable that specifically for the beta event.
Another problem from this is players who don’t speak English and know to sign up for the beta. The game doesn’t convert to all languages — individual events are one thing, but a coalition being punished because one of their members didn’t understand that the beta is a required coalition event is another thing.
Especially since the inbox message doesn’t say « Coalition Points Count »
The other issue is RotGP is a 6 hour recharge event with no set end time. It’s a lot to ask of the player base to run 2 full coalition events at once. Maybe TDW beta could be moved to midweek and just called TDW?
*Update: The team has looked into the coalition points of The Dragon War - Beta Event, and I’m afraid they are unfortunately unable to prevent the points from being applied to existing coalition scores. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The point of the beta event is to help Oktagon in identifying and resolving the Max Points issue players experienced in the past. Since it’s a PvP, Coalition event, the more players that assist with this, the more accurate the results will be.
The reason why it’s not a regular event is because of its beta state. Since this may cause more minor issues to occur than usual, we didn’t want the general population to inadvertently experience this environment. We’d rather have players choose to assist us, and subsequently be fully aware of its beta state.
