War #6 - Suggestions and Feedback

I also agree that Strategist is slightly overpowered. Furthermore, since supports of each team were a headache. What about having two seperate War events; one with the core team participants and one with the support team participants?

The whole point of support team was to include more people in War.  Splitting it off into a separate event is ridiculous and defeats the purpose of having them in the first place.

I personally would love to participate in a "2nd class War for noobs" or something like that.
That way, veterans wouldn't have noobs like me between their legs and more people would be involved in that 'second-class' War.

At some point in time people would have to graduate from being in this secondary part to the first part and its probably just easier to help guide a few new people in each team for one war than the additional effort that a miniwar would need.

+1 for disagreeing with blind auction. Old auction created the bulk of the initial buzz.
+1 for Strategist being OP. Well, since every team has one, maybe it evens out somewhat. Pro strategist move: To pack Discord and BH in the same deck and side according to wether you face a mono/duo or rainbow.

Also, I think standard bearers have the capacity to make war unnecessary long.

Only way to make Strategist work is make it so Strategists may only battle other Strategists

True, but in that way, it would be less fun.

And another one here that dislikes the blind auction, what's the point of naming it auction that way?

[bogtro]

As I was saying in chat, if we're having a blind auction then a week is ridiculously unnecessary for bidding. Since you can read applications as they are posted, you'll already pretty much know who you want to bid on well before the bidding starts (and you'll just say "1 card for everybody else" as a safeguard). It takes at absolute most an hour or so to compile such a list, which only applies if you missed some recent near-deadline apps.

If blind auction actually happens, which I think it's pretty clear the vast majority of users disagree with, at least shorten the bidding phase to 3 days.

Yet another who thinks Blind Auction is not such a great idea...

[Acsabi44]

Suppose I get 2 14-card bids, and I have to decide between team A and team B.
Now, is there a way for me to know who my would-be teammates are in the two teams? Becouse the teammates could be a major deciding factor between the two teams.
In the previous auction system, one who followed the auction could know the current members of each team (except some ties) at any given moment. But now, given that the auction is blind, I see no way for me to know about the team I'm signing for.

I'd like to join the crowd who voices opinion against blind auction.
Also, the strategist does seem OP too.

@WMs,

given everyone's concern about blind auction and strategist role, what's the likelihood of these rules being modified?
