Rivalry Guild Have Different Boards?!?

I have truly enjoyed the guild war concept since it has been implemented. My only concern is that I have verified with the current rivalry as well as the one previously that all 5 guild in the rivalry don't see the same boards. That truly doesn't make since to me. It's a competition and supposed to be about what guild is best; to be honest, in most cases, what guild is best at adapting and working as a team. I am not saying adapting and working as a team doesn't play a factor with different boards. However, what I am saying is that all 5 guilds in guild wars should have matching boards for each number.. All 5 guilds have the same board for the first board, second, third, etc. That seems like that would be a more accurate way to determine who did the best in the rivalry. On board 4 my guild is stuck with Triple Torpedo but one of the rivalry guilds said that they don't have that at all on their board. Just doesn't make it as fair and skilled as I was hoping and seems like it concerns more like a luck of draw.. will my guild get good quests or bad quests compared to the other guild on the same board...

Please make boards mirror other guilds in rivalry.

 

But then guilds don’t all have the same boats or weapons either. You might have someone in your guild with legendary tri torps who can tear through that quest, while all the other guilds are stuck with it. Is that really any more fair?

 

Well said

 

I believe it would be.. because then that guild that wins is the guild that was able to adapt and overcome the boards better than other guilds. I don't mind knowing that everyone uses different weapons and ships. I just think that if all the boards were the same for the rivalry it'll make more sense. During the Olympics every event is based upon the same thing for every competitor. During a quiz in school everyone is asked the same questions. During a marathon everyone runs the same stretch of road, because it's not necessarily just the distance that matters; if that were the case people would just flat ground over steep terrain. If my guild, for instance is stuck with 4 fleet quests on board 4... Should the other guild only have 2? That makes it much easier for them to complete the board not having to find a guildmate to fleet with. It only makes logical sense to have all the boards the same for each guild in a rivalry if you ask me.

 

Yep. That came across to me as bizarre.

It's like that reality game show "American Ninja warrior" imagine that each contestant had different boards/section on every round/stage through the competition and then they are then measured by the completion time and ability to pass them all. Makes zero sense since some boards are naturally harder than other; triple torpedo, enforcer fleet wins, standard mortar damage, cannon damage.

 

It might mean that, or it might just mean they got lucky. If your guild is truly adaptable then it shouldn’t really matter what boards you get.

There are lots of games where people aren’t given the same challenges. Any quiz where people take turns, for example. Sometimes your opponent is asked something you would have known, sometimes you’re asked something they know. It’s luck, but eventually it evens out.

 

All guilds in the rivalry should have the same quests, there isn't any valid argument that can dispute that.
Rivalries should also only exist between guilds of similar infamy, for the reason that low infamy guilds will obviously have a huge disadvantage on the many damage quests.
Last rivalry we got 42000 tokens for free, because all of the other guilds we were matched with had only one member, never mind an average infamy above the nightmare marker..
There's still a lot to be worked on here.

 

HaHa! Nope. If the guilds don't have the same quests then it's BS. My guild is building up missiles and grenades because we didn't have any. We also had to recruit defenders and fixers.
So the quests aren't based on that.

 

I guess this is completely true being that they may have not needed to adapt at all. Maybe they had an advantage because guild members used the weapons that were needed even before being asked to use in quest.

So, yes, it could just be luck. But, nonetheless, I think my guild would have better chances if boards were consistent. This is the 2nd rivalry in which case we were doing great (in the lead) and then get stuck with something difficult such as triple torpedo on board 3.. or napalm launcher on board 3. You can immediately tell if the other guild got a decent board when they surpass you and your guild members are just as active as always. Which is what made me question if guilds we're given the same board in the first place.

If we get stuck with Triple Torpedo on 3rd board so should all 4 other guilds. Whether or not every member in the guild actively use triple torpedo anyway OR no member even owns a triple torpedo! If we get stuck with napalm launcher quest every guild should be stuck with the same..

#ItsOnlyLogical

 

I don't mind getting different boards as long as they adjust the requirement for completion of unpopular items. Napalm for example are not mainly for sinking opponents but for dispersing them. It would be very difficult to accumulate damage using that item.

 

This ^^^. It isn't a fair competition if everyone is not on a different playing field.

 

Agreed. A single quest can stop a guild in its tracks...

If everyone has the same quests, the team that is more prepared for anything will win.

 

I really thought everybody in the rivalry has the same quests .....I m falling of my chair if it's not the case and it,s really unfair .In no other competition it is like this.

 

Say it again brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say this as I have spent 2 straight days working on the MEDIUM board with both Carronade and Triple Torpedo quests. It's brutal, and I guarantee the teams ahead of us did not have those. It's a pathetic excuse for a rivalry to have different quests.

 

Carronade is a pain lol and i cant say that making guilds have the same quest board will work as it goes against RNG. The boards are like items, u might get lucky and get ones u want or u might not get lucky and get ur worst nightmare board.

 

If we are to keep it RNG, Carronade needs to either 1) go away, 2) reduce requirement and/or 3) credit for all battles, even losing ones. Low levels don't use it because it's useless, speeders don't use it because the training tree conflicts with speeder/nitro/and overboost. It's an awful quest choice, implemented in the worst way possible.

 

It took alot of investigation on my part... Sending friends requests to captains and officers of guilds in my rivalry and sending private messages back and forth to decide if the boards were the same. In most cases the boards are so drastically different that there can't be any correlation or pattern in how the quests are chosen. Regardless of how many quests there are in total it just comes down to picking them at random like picking numbers for the lottery.

 

It can only be fair of everyone has the same boards. No way around that fact. I most certainly hate getting stuck with napalm and carronade... More now than ever knowing that other guild doesn't have the same board.
