Pathfinder - Information & Updates

Berbo: Hello everyone,   In the last few weeks we came with a few new ideas and one of them was Pathfinder. We hoped to increased the variety of content we're offering and hopefully to entertain you. The sign ups were very good and we're positively surprised and I'd like to use this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for playing, it's made for you guys/gals and we're glad when you join.   Now to the main topic. Due to lack of automatic system for leagues, we had to find different ways to display your final position. We were thinking of both damage done and damage received but none of them was ideal enough. We opted in the end for damage for the main purpose of encouraging you to attack, not to pit team mates against each other or to cause unfair situations for some due to afk teams. Afk teams is something we cannot control, at some points teams decide they cannot win anything and they simply leave. We know that EVERY one of you faces AFK teams at some point, while it's not ideal it should affect everyone with same intensity.  Unfortunately, the experiences were different, a lot of you felt frustration and unfairness with this system and read your feedback and applied numerous changes to future editions of "pathfinder"- like competitions. Thank you for continuous flow of feedback on the forum, it means you helped us improve it and we rely you'll do it countless times again to make sure you get competitions tailored for you.   For Week 2 of Pathfinder we want to introduce a little fix to the rules or to be exact and small tune to make it more fair. Instead of top damage for ranking, we'll use average damage done. For top performers this doesn't change a thing but for others who are affected by AFK teams, this fix will mean having an AFK team will have lesser impact on their standings. As some may already ask what happens with AFK battles, we will exclude them from the calculation. Your overall damage will not be divided by all games, but only games you actually played.   We hope this will improve the experience for 2nd week and we hope you'll join our next big competition in the following weeks.   Thank you!
