Rafe Stone Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Any thought to taking away the alliances advantage of 1 attack per hour during the heads contest? Seems unfair I can only attack them once an hour, yet they can hunt me down and attack at will. Loosing heads without the same opportunity to get them back sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrunner Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 deal with it they earned their way into an alliance thats there reward, and note there already a topic for this kind of stuff I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Stone Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Maybe there is a topic, didn't see it I wasn't trying to whine, just stating an opinion. It is a huge advantage. Takes a little of the fun out of it if all you can do is run, and not fight back or take 1 shot at them while they get 9 to 10 back at you before your next shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremir Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I just want to point out that we're paying for that advantage. I don't know about other alliances, but GG gets about half as much AP as non-alliance players, which limits our attacks far more then our immunity limit yours.

Azrael Dark Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Not to brag or anything, but I have never been part of an alliance and I was last month's head contest winner, so it's still definitely possible to win even if you are neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 All I can say is that head contest IS unfair and will REMAIN this way. There are lots of reasons why this is the way the HC goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Stone Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thank you for an honest answer DST. Again I was just pointing out what I thought was a flaw. Apparently it was meant that way. I am cool with that. No problems. I just got "mauled" by an alliance member last night and couldn't do anything about it. We had a good laugh about it. I would accumulate them and he would steal them. Again we chatted and laughed. I explain myself, because I get the feeling people think I'm a whiny brat. Those that know me in game know differently.

dst Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm glad you understood. And as Azrael has pointed out: non alliance members can win the contest. He is the living proof. And I admire him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoonus Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 *shrugs* Alliance isn't the biggest issue in my opinion. It's people going places few others can. The heads contest is fun, that's all it's meant to be. Take winning as a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dst Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 It's forbidden to go in places where only few players can go. If you do that you may be disqualified.

Silver Renard Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Final stage of the head competition started At this stage you get score only while online at Gazebo of Equilibrium. This stage lasts 24 hours and its a good oportunity to dramaticaly change the top positions because a lot of heads will gather in a big ball and whoever will controll that ball will get a lot of score points fast. Good luck to all and remember there are no rules on how you should hold those heads as much as you can, anything is allowed, may the best player win! Best player huh? plz.... the alliances have an unfair advantage in contests like this.... non-allied players can only attack each other at same mp lvl and can't atk allied players for an hour after an attempt. also, allied players can attack other allied players of any rank and can attack other players on the normal timer in the same mp lvl as them, basically allowing them to control where the "ball" is. it's not fair. either you work w/ allied members, you are one, or you're screwed. best player my foot. also.... i don't really care if anyone replies to this or not, but don't bother telling me off about it cuz i've already made up my mind on the issue. whether you agree or disagree is beyond me caring. i'll just stick to rp. no more contests for me.

dst Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 You just don't get it....Head contest is NOT FAIR. Best player doesn't necessarily means best in fair play and good knowledge about the game. Means the one who knows what do to do win (or the one who has the most luck). If players want to team up...let them. If they want to gather heads and leave...let them. Or do like they do. Or even better: outsmart them. Take Azrael for example: he won the head contest without being in an alliance. So it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowseeker Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Concerning that topic..I believe HC should stay that way, although the transparency between alliance and MP levels should be limited in my opinion. Otherwise the last stage just means brawling over a 15k head ball or so, like it almost appeared this time. Winning isn't that hard actually, I got weak stats, no alliance and still managed to place in a position that will most likely end with third. (Remember, in MP5!) I personally would've loved to get the medal and am feeling down because of that, but well, bad luck. HC IS UNFAIR, remember that when starting it. My personal wish now is that my third place (still to be decided, but really likely) will not count or that I get another chance for the medal later. And I would love to get a feature against stealing heads and logging off, like dst provided to make the contest interesting. But if we lost track of that person attacking anymore would be useless, so somehow a judge should appear making sure the fight goes on (and doesn't die for the last 7 or 8 hours). That is a nice strategy which will let clever players stay in their position, but I believe it is more designed as a fight and run, hide contest not with logging to prevent. (May be otherwise, I believe in what I write.) Especially in the last stage, where it matters most. Otherwise: Have fun with the contest, and enjoy it. Don't complain so much, and please try to make it as much of a gigantic brawl as possible. I'd love participating afterwards just for the fun of it.

Treehill Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hey how much heads is acceptable to get to third winner in mp4...im curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoonus Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I enjoy stage I much more then stage II. Stage II relies solely on good rituals, which is fine, but I enjoy the hunt, the chase and the banter of Stage I (ask Udgard, dst and Cirith, they chased me all over the place in an attempt to get my heads... it was a lot of fun, for them too no doubt.). It is unfair, alliances do get the one hour advantage, true. But they also have more enemies, and generally get less AP. You can overcome the AP issues with an altered perception of time of course. And I say more enemies as we have to look out for alliance members of the other mind power levels, and believe me strength isn't what it takes to win... it is finding the right ritual for your opponent. For every ritual, there is an opposite. (Although in dsts case, you will need a lot of stats beforehand). The heads contest is fun, this is what it sets out to do. It is not meant to be taken seriously, I do not dislike anyone who took my heads, nor do I harbour any ill-thoughts to any one I stole heads from, I participated because it was fun, and I will likely participate again next month (if I can get my honor back up before then!). The contest is unfair... but like a certain wise somebody said earlier... it is unfair to everyone in some shape way or form, and thus, by some crazy logic... that makes it fair... maybe...

Rafe Stone Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I dislike the alliance "advantage", but I understand and like the contest. I had fun messing with Dragoonus and Envy early in the game. Overall a good contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udgard Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 wasn't that.. it opens up a chance for everyone to be unfair, so it is fair for everyone? =b And yeah, the chase was fun =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
