Morrigan, on 20 January 2011 - 07:41 PM, said: Tanitha can you please explain this better? How is it possible that
we have separate servers for our garages and battles, but have a
common Clan Wars map in the end? If we are going to be able to have
US players fighting battles against RU players after a few months,
how are the servers going to bridge for the battle?It seems very strange that we just went through a server split and were forced to pick Euro or US with no crossing over, but now we are told that Clan Wars will not care which servers we are on.
Is there a battle queue coming that will bridge across all servers so we can fight against our clan war enemies on other servers?
Tanitha: Ive just asked developers for more info on that topic, If i get a
reply, I'll make the reply public, If I'm allowed lol..
But basically. Without having much info to go on at the moment..
Yes there is three main servers, USA, Euro, Russia.
All three are separate, and local. So the bulk of the games (random battles) are played on local servers.
The clan wars is a separate thing and web-based (i believe) it looks to me like a game of Risk or axis and allies. With the clan leader given a "token" for each of their clan members who are moved around the "map". When a attack is made in clan wars, then the battle is scheduled in game.
When there is a euro only map, the battles will be scheduled for the servers prime time the next day. When there is a global map, the clan war is scheduled for the prime time of the country you are attacking the next day. IE if a USA clan attacks a piece of land in germany, the battle will be in germany's prime time. So it makes it hard for USA clans to attack europe, and makes it hard or euro clans to attack usa land...
There will be clan wars beta, which will start off with just a Euro map, eventually clan wars will finish its beta, and swap to clan wars full with a world map. When its swapped to "full" and a world map the map will be wiped/clean (not peoples tanks or accounts just the clan map)... Then the russian clans, europe clans, and USA clans start international clan wars on the new clean world map...
So yes 3 servers, 3 separate clan war betas, but 1 international clan wars system (eventually some time after release... )
How will they do it? I don't know. but here's three "wild guesses" and possibilities.
The server could be the defending clans server. So the attacker has higher pings.
The server could be the server where the land is, IE if its a battle for a American piece of land its fought on the American server.
Maybe they will have a 4th server that the clan wars battles will be fought on.
No idea how they plan on doing this. But as above, I can guess several ways they *might* do it..
And the usual disclaimer, I'm a player with a ban button who's helping them out, I'm not a dev/admin or official employee, I read most of the forums and have to piece things together, I don't get information that other players dont get.. So the above is just a players opinion, and nothing official...
If im able to get any more info, or better info, or more correct info,, on the above, I'll let you know.
Thanks.
