Assailant Invasion: Why duplicate assailants?

With (Personal) Assailant Invasion event ongoing, the current non-(this)event assailants are Savage and Vandal.


Roger, why is today's Assailant Invasion [1-day] assailant also Savage, duplicating an already present assailant?

Hello, WWO 

Assailants appear on the Kingdom map from time to time. Each Assailant is unique and allows you to get special materials used for crafting Assailants' equipment. For detailed information about the materials dropped from any Assailant, tap the "i" icon on the Assailant's screen. We also recommend you to follow the link below to find the detailed information about every Invader:

Please note that you may affect the choice of the Assailant on the Kingdom map! To do it, join our official community on Facebook and take part in the voting every week: https://www.facebook.com/ThroneKingdomAtWar/.

If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help. 

Enjoy the game!

Roger, you have not answered the question.


Why was Assailant Invasion duplicating an already present Assailant?

Maybe community chose this assailant in weekly poll when he already was in game?

Nah. This is Assailant Invasion event, new assailant every day for one day only, not the week duration one determined via poll.


Just looking to understand why introduce the same assailant twice?

Again, the assailants are duplicated. This time Virago.


This is REALLY irritating. Particularly when out of Watchman range, and so can't tell which will still be around tomorrow. (For when you're not killing an ass. in one day.)


Roger, could you ask what the assailant selection process is during these events, and let us know, please?

And now the Vandal is back. Last seen only last week.


With 16 assailants available it isn't intuitive to see assailants back so soon, especially in this, 'different assailant every day', event.


Roger, could you please ask as to how the daily assailants are chosen?

Again, the new one-day assailant duplicates an assailant already present. (Savage.)


@RogerMontgomery , can you express the rationale behind the one-day assailant selections, please?

I think they won't tell explain the mechanics of the regular assailant's choice for 2 weeks. Just weebly-wobbly random magic.


But Assailants can be duplicated if community has chosen (in the official group) the same assailants.

Hello, Lords

That's right. There are 2 random Assailants: daily and weekly, and 1 chosen every week by the players in our social networks . 

So it possible for them to be duplicated sometimes.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Enjoy the game!

Roger, you have this backwards.


I get the chosen Assailant. From a short list provided - which surely does not include duplicates of the scheduled assailant.


My question has been, why ever is a -duplicate- of the scheduled or chosen assailant ever used for the daily assailant?


(It is duplicating an already present assailant, not the other way around. Please stop the duplication. Take the current assailants out of the list of assailants the daily assailant is chosen from!)

So today's new daily assailant is ... the Fugitive. Matching today's new weekly assailant ... the Fugitive.


Why are daily assailants duplicating already present assailants?

So now the Virago is up for a week - TWICE!


(I applaud the Emperor's decision of the Virago. [Once.])


Facebook says it was supposed to be the Renegade.


Roger, is there any explanation for the duplicate or the discrepancy from the Facebook posting?


TIA.

Again, Saracen is on for a week, and is the day's Assailant.


Roger, could you please pass along: This duplication makes Plarium appear incompetent. Word gets around. If that is the impression and taste that Plarium wants people out there to be left with, it should keep doing what it's doing.


Such word of mouth will self-inflict reduced revenue from what it could be - merely from a lack of more thoughtful assailant choices. [Harder for people to find pieces of their puzzle and feel like they're moving forward and making progress in the game.]

Hello, WWO!

There are 2 random Assailants: daily and weekly, 1 chosen every week by the players in our social networks and one that can be chosen by Emperor.

So it possible for them to be duplicated sometimes, as we said in the previous message. 

And thank you for your feedback about this situation. We will forward your suggestion to our developers. 

Have a nice day!

I'm not sure you're hearing me.


I know this.


So ... when you choose each of the random assailants ... IF IT IS ALREADY PRESENT ... *** CHOOSE A DIFFERENT ONE *** !!!


This is not a hard concept. It has been reported many times previously. At no time should there be duplicate assailants present.


Roger, could you tell us ... why does this continue to occur and has not been addressed already?

I am not sure they even understand what you are asking.  It is not in the pre written cards they are to quote from.

Hard to fathom how Roger could not understand: "when you choose each of the random assailants ... IF IT IS ALREADY PRESENT ... *** CHOOSE A DIFFERENT ONE *** !!!"


Nor: "Roger, could you tell us ... why does this continue to occur and has not been addressed already?"

Now Apostates are duplicating, and not for the one-day only instances, now they're a week of duplicates at a time!


Starting yesterday:



Roger, could you please:

(1) Pass up the line ... Plarium is degrading their own integrity with such duplication, and eroding their goodwill.

(2) Tell us why these duplications are happening?

Ok, to try and help this out.  I think what we all are getting at is the changes we want to see below:


1) Coding should see that if a random or voted assailant matches a current assailant then choose a different (random) assailant.

2) Coding should also check that if an assailant has been active in the last week it should choose a different random assailant.


3) Coding should say to the emperor that you can not choose that Alpha Assailant because it was already active withing the last two selections.


This will spread things out and make more opportunities for players.

For 3) note that the Emperor does not choose Alphas - only non-Alphas.


I would disagree with 3 - the Emperor should always be free to choose whatever s/he wants. If they want Savages again, their call. [Savages necessary for all new players for Ass. gear.]


HOWEVER ... subsequent non-Emperor chosen Ass', including next 1-day only Ass., should take the Emperor's choice into account, and choose a different one.
