I know there's already heaps of proposals about uw already, but here's an incredibly simple suggestion to implement.

Well I was told that with the current uw system, each union must have a set minimum number of players signing up for the war, otherwise the war will be cancelled.

Well then here are two suggestions, either:
1. Make it so that in order to start a war, the ratio of players signed up of Jo/ar : rc/fg (or the other way around) must be between the ratio of 1:2 to 3:5 (or something around that), otherwise the war will be cancelled. Also allow a small leeway for this.
Or
2. Set a range difference on the number of players on each side. Range can be 0-20.
(ie. For example, if one team has 60 participants signed up, then the other team must have anywhere between 40 to 80 players, otherwise war will be cancelled)

Good idea.

[bossman11]

thumbs up!

[BrownBear]

I like the idea and all, but I've given up all hope on this. They don't even respond to these kinds of posts. I can't help but think they simply don't care.

All we have is 10 v 1 wars no a days, literally I haven't seen anything even close to even in a long time. It's so bad when you can predict which side wins at what time and be right. I guess this could help that.

Good idea. Maybe UW will be interesting then...but until a change comes I will be cruisin on SC2.

Another thing, cant we make it so you can still sign up for a war while after the portal opens? No one likes missing sign ups by 1 minute or having an old quest in yoru log that you don't know about which prevents you from signing up until you delete it.

And don't you just hate it when you're all buffed and ready in your party for the war, and the portal opens until you realise... You havn't signed up

+1 haha.

[yamz]

Agreed, i hope they act on it.

I think the easiest way to balance UW is to balance the unions, idk how hard it would be to bring to fruition but what they could do is write a code that calculates how many characters there are on the server then divide that by 4 (there's only 4 unions right?) and that number will be the max number of people allowed in that union (obviously they'll have to round off the decimals)

uhmmm wont work. know why? ill pm u in-game. i dont wanna post it here or else war will never get cancelled anymore. and hope i was the only one doing it when i really want a war to go on and not to be canceled even jo/ar or rc/fg got only 20 person or else who signed up.

Oh man do you really think you are the only one that knows? And here I was assuming that signing up over and over on your character was common knowledge. This tactic is what revived UW after it died last year.

unbalanced wars also has alot to do with ppl afk too :S

while this might balance out the wars, it might also cause more canceled wars, which is just as lame as unbalanced.

New people are funny.

I for one have given up on proposals for UW. The developers have new maps, tons of ideas and so many people saying they want a revamp of the wars. Some of the ideas and maps seem fairly easy to implement but still nothing. So many of us are very bored in game....TG>UW>DOD for pkers>TG>farm a bit for catalyst that drop so rarley its rediculouis>UW>shop a bit for stuff you don't need>TG>UW. And the UW are either boring or frustrating...depending on who is winning at the time. UW can be fun and we all try to make them interesting but there is only so much we, as a community, can do. They can't even fix alliance chat, something that is helpful and was in game.

I try not to be too negative but UW need help and we have not seen any updates, except for some strange pillars on the attackers side. Sigh.....

[BrownBear]

All those pillars do is slow down my initial rush for the starting crystals in the first minute of the war.

Alliance chat still being offline is soooo unacceptable that I can't even express my frustration toward that. I don't even remember them giving us a solid reason for taking it down and still leaving it down.
