Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

We were promised a non-reshuffle round and therefor I want one!

I had alot of fun in my PW fam and I wasted alot of time teaching n00bs along with render how to play this game properly. We would have been competing this upcoming round in the top 5 all round. Its very annoying! Are we getting any info when this bug is getting fixed? are we gonna be playing with our old fam members again? I really would like that and I know im not the only one.

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

PW 70 was for sure the best round in the last months/year and when we finally got competitive fams and turn PW interesting the we have a forced re-shuffle.

I think many players will agree to this, starting all over from zero again and again is certainly boring, and I don't pretend to turn it into a MW with drafts, but the option to stay in fam was always present every couple rounds to make the gal interesting, and it sucks to be losing trace of your crew this way.

Keep this in mind, 1 round to know each other and another round to play seriously.
If we always random PW will never be a serious gal  sad

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

true enough. the family i was in are disappointed and annoyed too.

PW always used to be 1 shuffle and 1 non-shuffle. it was part of the pw fun. so why is it so impossible to do now?

how is it things that used to be done, are no longer done. is this all part of the long-term plan to kill off pw?

well, pw is starting to be a struggle to play. pw has been messed around with so often now you cant even get it to work properly.

i want to stay with my previous family. you guys know how to do it, so why cant you?

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

We had every intention of keeping it a stay in fam round. Like Arby said in the PvC thread: KT, Arby and myself spent a good handful of hours trying to work out a solution to this problem.

Were not apposed to placing ppl either but there is no record of who was in what fam. In all fairness to those that cant reach a moderator to get their fam sorted it will more than likely have to stay the way its worked out sad

I think ppl would prefer another round start, while we have a round up and running, it will give the devs some time to sort out these bugs.

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

you get the competition in MW, Kozz. PW was always the transitional galaxy for new players and therefore a bit more relaxed. PW was the place you go to get to know people and learn the game. why all this had to change i dont know. there's plenty other galaxies that can be used for experimental stuff but for some reason pw got hammered with a few not-so-well-planned changes. and now pw gets mw players idling there and making not much contribution cos they're 'too busy in mw to do anything in pw'. if i had a dollar for every time i heard that this year i'd be holidaying in the bahamas.

you think pw is dying so you open it up for everyone to boost the numbers. tbh i would rather play in a 4 man/6 fam galaxy than have to deal with players 'too busy' in another galaxy.

and just a PS - i'm not saying pw was easy cos it wasn't - it still relied on peoples skills to win. its just that the pw of the last 12 or so months is just not too much fun anymore except if you land with friends or you spend time building up a good atmosphere and skills/strategy base in family cos 'its not a reshuffle' round.

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

Killas raise your finger!!! yikes  I'm sure you want to gimme hell this round, you should have the chance to be in a competitive fam this round, or maybe repeat with thos noobs tongue

I'm talking about a pool of players and a list of leaders, and the players apply to the leader list, not the other way, and the leader picks from that list

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!

To start out (and not pretending this be the way to do it, mods have the last word)

my family crew in PW70

-Teddy
-Bista
-Juholt
-DL
-Meija
-Etronia
-RS Dream

any other leader that chose to stay in fam posts his crew, and the ones who dont wanted to stay in fam start their a leader list with 0 people.
So we 1st get a list of possible leaders (some with their previous crew, others with 0 crew)

Then next we create a player pool this way:

Players apply to a leader's list,
-those who were part of the previous crew and choose to stay in the fam are instantly placed with their previous leader (as it's stay in the fam option).  The leader cannot refuse to receive them in this case.
-those who were not part of the previous crew but applied in the list are then chosen by the leader
-the players not chosen go to a player pool, and any leader is allowed to pick only 1 player from this common pool
-the leftover spots (if any) are filled with random players

This way the families will be formed by old crew who wanted to stay in fam plus new crew who chose to play with that leader, and finally the leader can draft 1 player from the common pool (if the chosen player says no then the spot goes to a random)

It is a "stay-in-fam" mixed with "reversed-drafting" (players decide where they want to be, not the other way) and finally 1 draft (not forced).

Re: Pinwheel needs to be fixed!
