Attention, Lords and Ladies! Read carefully!

Many of you may have noticed that extinguishing the remaining orcs at the Battlegrounds (the ones you had attempted to raid/defend) after the update resulted in receiving a fairly small reward.

Let us look into what happened.

1. There was an error with the mini payout on the Battlegrounds. After the fix, the payout you get from a Battleground you have once attempted to raid/defend will be different from what it was before.

2. If you were to get a big payout from a Battleground, you will still get it.

3. Since the logic behind the payout system remains intact, the change will not affect the payout you will get on the Battlegrounds you attempt to raid/defend for the first time.

4.This does not apply to Saga Quests. They will remain intact.

It is important to remember that the payouts depend on the Unit losses you incur, so receiving a mini payout brings you closer to the desired reward!

As you can see, the situation is not as critical as it may have seemed.

Players who scouted Battlegrounds prior to the update will not see any difference in the payouts. Players that have attempted to raid/defend Battlegrounds but failed might have received a slightly smaller reward. It does NOT apply to players who were supposed to receive a big reward - they did get their rewards.

Important!

1. All the Units you lost count toward the payout you will get from the next Battlegrounds.

2. All the mini payouts you will get from the ‘fresh’ Battlegrounds in the future will remain the same.

Those Lords and Ladies that have mastered the art of battling Battlegrounds have noticed that the logic behind the Battleground system did not change. All the knowledge and experience you have gained over the years is still valuable.

Lords and Ladies, I encourage you to share your knowledge and expertise with less experienced players so everyone can get the desired outcome on the Battlegrounds and progress in the game! Good luck!

Please share your thoughts in the Comments under this post. Do not create any other posts related to Battlegrounds . Thank you.

I don't understand you. So what you are saying is that there was an error, its been fixed, and that nothing has changed?

The error could influence the game in the future, but since we found it and fixed, you may continue hitting the Battlegrounds, my Lord.

It's not you - it just isn't clear.

so very true. the art of not saying things in a clear and simple manner.

i'd rather see the "my lord..." act dropped, and instead a straight-to-the-point communication.

something like "as of the 26th of march, bgs mechanices have been bugged. but it has been fixed on the 28th and all should be back now to how it was before the bug"

Agreed, you should see how in-depth they get into the whole roleplay theme in the pirates forum, I can't even comphrend half of it

total cost to do that battleground 646 archers, 14 huntress, 7 wardens, 7 arbalester, 7 bear hunters

cost in resources

52, 379 gold

21, 900 iron

15, 290 food

reward based on resources

11, 840 gold

9, 250 iron

8, 830 food

why would any lower level player spend all that time and waste all their resources just to be disappointed with the end result

i can only imagine what it would cost me to do my high level battle grounds now

someone else can do the math and figure out what the "tax" percentage was on that its apparent that battle grounds are built to eat troops and not worth playing at all any more

i think the rest goes into the bank.... when you get to fill it "should" payout

but only my personal opinion without feedback

nice addition, when you finish the bg-quests you have the ability to reset bank and bg to lv1 for restart (only normal bg), now is make another castle.....

That player had several yellowed battle grounds that did not pay anything so the bank was not cleared after 6 - 8 bg.

for what it's worth, and according to some guy who allegedly knows things from the inside, you have to hit a fresh bg to get some decent rewards.

i just did that, cleaned up a lvl37 and 38, won 250wyvs, 40griffs and 4 runes. net loss 60k, mostly cannon fodder.

Exactly, my Lord. All new Battlegrounds will be given a good reward. The error may affect only those Battlegrounds that you started to destroy before the error was fixed and destroyed them after this fix. But you shouldn't worry about this, since you will get everything that you earned in your future payouts.

Get Guaranteed Rewards at Battlegrounds!

Lord Oberon said:

The Battleground payout algorithm has also been altered. Those who show up consistently for battle with courage in their hearts shall consistently be rewarded! Henceforth, you may expect a guaranteed reward every time you clear a Battleground, rather than the hit-or-miss system previously in place! While this means fewer giant rewards, it ensures you'll never ride away from a Battleground victorious but empty-handed.

I have been sending exactly the same 101 different units to battlegrounds for months, but this is the first time that I have ever received zero rewards from any battleground. Where are my guaranteed rewards from every battleground?

Your guarantee is worthless

Greetings. You have completed low-level Battlegrounds with zero losses. All payouts depend on your losses as it's stated in the start post.

So you need to loose something in order to get any reward.

It looks like they might have brought the bgs closer to what they were in the past (about a year ago now). Not sure if they act with the same 90-140% resource reward span though.

Dear Lords and Ladys

As far i can be able to read and understood, the supersmall payouts or no payouts in that case of above means they are yellowed before the update and finished after the update. Ok if im not wrong you are going to receive this ridiculous payouts for those bgs yellowed before the update and fix and if your bank is not ready for the payout.

Is this a problem ???? i dont think so...as all you know im not such a master of bgs as some members of this forum but i always try to help.

for me... its better not getting any of these 2 types of payouts: ridicoulous payouts or small payouts.

why?? dont you remember your loved and always wanted back again bg old system ??. this is almost the same. if you receive a ridiculous payout your bank is not so much affected.

So, once you finish all your yellowed bgs u did before the update and fix you will stop to receive the laughing payouts and you will be again priced with the small 10% payout....i hope.

another question...its a super nosense (at least for me) doing or finishing bgs with 0 losses. even if you get the 10%... you loose nothing and get the 10% every bg goes you to be on negative in your bank. You finish 20 bgs yellowed with 0 loosess and gaining troops for 2M of resources means your bank is -2M. so you are going to do a hard hard work for a real big payout next time.

by the way...bgs level 17 the 10% is so poor that really its better getting no troops.

Regards

@ JUGLAR

there was players getting caught in this that had a bunch of YL bg's they didn't get any out of, and their lowest BG was in 87 they have to build troops to complete.

Maybe the new system is better, but for the players that got caught in the middle got really screwed in all this. You should think Plarium could spawn a lower level BG that could payout the banked resources as a solution.

They have not brought bg closer to what they were. They have stated many times that they will never do this, even tho everyone hates the new system. If you want the old system then you need to play the Pirate game, where they have refused to change anything.

The only reason this was added last July was to make sure that everyone would get fewer giant rewards

I will continue to get FREE tournament points - nothing has changed ... and I can still get my rewards from bg

All I need to do is add a few pikemen ... so why have they nerfed the mini-payouts when they knew it would screw-up the entire system for all players who had weakened high level battlegrounds and got no reward?
