Yesterday I was mached with 1600, 1700, 2100, 2300 and 2500 teams.

@Xxenia

My points are higher today as yesterday (1889 tofay vs 1389 yesterday) so I thought it’s because I was raided. But when it I have a info, that my defense team wasn’t attacked fo far. Why the points change in such case?

The default defense grade is C, which is 500 points.

[JekLyuk]

Five attacks today, all the opponents in the 2200 to 2600 range.
My defence of 3400+ is still untouched.
Interestingly some lower level alliance mates (tp 2300) report only fight in the 2500 to 2800 range.
Their defences were attacked multiple times, all of them by much powerful teams.
Probably high tp defences are not yet in the pool of possible targets.

[Xxenia]

But how can I have points for defense performance if I was not raided?
Is here anyone who was raided? Do you see how meny times you were attakced? And with what result?

@Tough_E_Nough

If I select an attacking team closer to the TP of the opposing defending team and I won all of them, will I get higher average score?

@wetworks

Play closer to your opponent’s level, should net you more points…at least that’s how I think it works.

CONFIRMED ,… Sorry, NO!

Thank you @wetworks foe this valuable observation, it did work splendidly!

On day 2 and following your remarks, I experimented few team setups with lower TP and my rank jumped from 25%-50% to 1%-5% with an increase in my average score per attack from 260 points to 292 points.

Having an average of 330+ is what I’m aiming for.

12. Is there a formula to calculate the score points based on the TP differences?

@Tough_E_Nough

Why is it that everything you introduce to the game have something hidden/unclear/shadowy /buzzly/unexplained/mysterious difficult or impossible for us understand?

I’m happy that we cracked something .

@Xxenia

But how can I have points for defense performance if I was not raided?

Because you still have a Defense Grade. It’s just C by default.

[Peterenp]

Bonus points aren’t affected by the team power you take

@Tough_E_Nough

CONFIRMED

wait, when you select your opponent, available points are already shown and visible. this should mean that attacking team does not matter at all. no?

@Suicide_Bunny

ducing some kind of ordering into otherwise wildly unfair battles where weaker players could be kicked off from the tournament on day 1 only by unfortunate roll of a maxed 4* opponent to fight against. Weaker players would gradually fall off the contest as the days progress into higher TP defenses pool. And this way, no tier 2 player would accidentally lose the tournament on day 1 by unfortunate roll of four tier 1 opponents, while tier 3 player could luckily survive till day 5 only because they random tier 5 opponents.

That would also explain why so many good defenses were not attacked yet.

Has anyone with maxed 4* defense been attacked already? Has anyone been matched with a stronger team (TP 3000+), or are the all fights against weaklings so far?

It is definitely too strange, and also seeing noone from the staff posting anything on that topic yet, makes me believe this is working as intended.

I fought one team at 2700 team power and to at 2200-2400. The one at 1200 tp I beat in round one due to some combos… The effect of matchmaking will be interesting to see. I am a bit disappointed in the raid tournament for day one, but will wait through the first iteration to see how it ends up. If the higher level teams are matched in the later days, this could still give a pretty good result.

Also, this is the first iteration with a lot of low level players, since all beta players are high level, so there might be some issues that haven’t been considered that thoroughly during beta testing.

I will say I really like the idea, but will wait until sunday to decide on how I like the finished concept. I hope (and expect) I will fight tougher teams as the days go on

Huh?
Wha what… Where???i

[Starlynk]

I got a bit more interesting match-ups today. Still the favourite in 4 out of 5 (and equal strength in the last one) and won all 5 but it was a lot closer today. My defense team still hasn’t seen any action and my score is now 3130. If it progresses like this, I’m expecting a loss tomorrow and to get pummeled the day after tomorrow

[UroSecondo]

@Tough_E_Nough

here, under his team. this one is my next opponent I’m going to fight right now

[Tough_E_Nough]

Thank you…
Can some more confirm this, please.
I’m out of attacks.

[Wolfwarrior]

Don’t have picture to post, but it is correct the points available are displayed under the defending team.

[Xxenia]

Exactly. I understand it’s working the same way as in the current standard ra8ds when I see how menycaps I can win or loos.
I do not understand the reason of the concept that playing closer to my opponent’s level, should get you more points… Why should I take a 2K team and risk a defeat if I have 3K team available.

[Elayanith]

Could you please show the defense that was attacked so often.

[Wolfwarrior]

It won’t, points available are established by record and by defense performance, not by strength.

[Ggbarnum]

So my first raid today was against a 1200tp team, against my 3500tp… Scored me like 227 points… How an I meant to score enough points to rise up the rankings with ridiculous match ups like that.

So nothing changed today.

[Wolfwarrior]

My second opponent today garnered 282 points and had mostly 4* and a maxed 3* with emblems. it is getting there…

Big question is: will spending gems after 4 defeats fill-up your already used flags for that day?

@zephyr1 thx
