New boss battle rewards?

You can only join KA if you survive seeing Nonnel's hoard.
It's a lot worse than horse heads, believe me.

They have roughly 67 alliances total, so yes.

Lol. Actually KA has a total of 16 alliances. Which is a lot, but not sure if it's the biggest family.

How on earth can you keep track of 320 players that you're not allowed to attack in PvP? And that's to say nothing of the (presumably) several other full alliance-wide truces you're required to abide by...

Easy! The Commanders of every alliance has access to a shared spreadsheet. We're required to record the points of every member, which tallies up the full total for the Family.

There is also a tab for a hit-list too. I believe I saw your name on it. PM if you like to get removed. Perhaps we can negotiate.

Note: I'm completely kidding about all this, but wouldn't be surprised if other families use this method

Silly me! Of course you wouldn't need a spreadsheet to remember the names of all 320 players in your alliance! It's all just one big happy family where everyone hangs out on the weekends!

This thread has an awful lot of ‘you’re playing it wrong!’ going on. EB, I expect you’re just doing your arguing for arguing’s sake thing again. But I’ll take the bait: is it really that hard to believe people can socialize with more than 20 people? And that they can have fun in a way that’s different from yours? And that even if it might not be AS fun as in the old days, it doesn’t mean that it is NOT fun now?

I understand a conversation about the effect of large alliance families on the game. That has merit. But can we please stop the convo about whether people are allowed to enjoy being in one or not?

Or if you have to, then please be more like DAZ… 😂

I mean, my first post on this topic was roughly "I feel like something has been lost in terms of teamwork with the way the top players are playing today," which is basically exactly what you said there.

Of course people can have fun playing this way. Would they have more fun if they played a different way? Who knows! Maybe, maybe not. I think so, but that's my opinion.

I really don't see the need for rewards to drop off that cliff and plunge so far down the side like that. Honestly if the Devs want to reward the big Alliances then why not put them in a category of their own and have a lower tier for the rest of the Alliances with something a bit more worthwhile to play for.

Maybe add in CLs?

I guess they would need to figure out how to match that with Alliance strength rather than individual player strength.

We know the software isn’t nimble but gating it by SCL and forcing a commander to join first and choose the SCL would work. They’d obviously need to work hard to tune the awards and make them significant enough at every level (maybe they even charge entrance HP at the top levels to make rewards bigger), but I think they could potentially make this a marquee monthly event and get some big time pickup.

They thought small with this one. They should think big next time.

Of course we do! In our family, everybody knows your name, where everybody's grinding on the weekend.

It's like the pub in Cheers! Cue the song again!

Making your way in the world today takes everything you got
Taking a break from your Story mode troubles
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where all the Alliance knows your name
PvE scores are always great!
You wanna be in a KA team
Where Top 25 you'll always make
You wanna be where every player knows your name
