Sorry folks the post I had here earlier, is not in the appropriate place. Please see News from Beta instead.

I was wondering the same thing, but from what I've seen in the past, Inno hardly ever thinks about what "could" happen before they make a change. They "dang the torpedoes (feedback) and full speed ahead" and then make changes only after they see what a mess they made. My fellowship will have the same problem. In the past, we never had AWs full and not in the process of being upgraded. Now, a lot of my fellowship members do. On one ID I can't do anything because they're all full.So.. question about the upcoming FA...
One of the badges is the KP badge. 'Donate x kp to another's aw.' That badge was never a big issue for most. But since the AW upgrade changes, im wondering how this is going to effect the kp badge in the FA.
The aw upgrade change, as horrible as it was... leaves many ppl unable to upgrade aw's. Leaving them with limited, or none, room for kp to be donated to there aw's. If theirs little or no room in many players of a single fs's aw's... then kp badge suddenly becomes very hard or impossible to get. I could have 6 million kp ready to go, but if no one has aw's with room left... then the kp is worthless in terms of getting a kp badge.
So was the kp badge values adjusted at all in the FA?
This is only the first fa since the aw upgrade change, so some ppl 'might' have some room left... but as it is now.. it would get worse and worse with time. Every fa would become harder and harder to get kp badges until it was nearly impossible.
I myself only have 1 aw ready to get kp at a time anymore. Because the upgrade costs are horrific. Even with a stock pile of frags and cc form doing full spire every week and MA doing CC 24/7.. i couldnt dream of getting enough to even remotely keep up. So those not as set up as myself, would have an even harder time. So they would have much less room in aw's for donations (or none).
So im wondering how this is supposed to play out in the fa...
That proves my point ... dang the torpedoes.@Dominionofgod no changes to anything. It is a normal FA.
The problem has never been that the top one percent won't find a way around whatever change they make. It's always the small fellowships who find themselves on the outside looking in when they make these changes. It might make it more interesting for those at the top but at the same time it makes it less interesting for those near the bottom just trying to get their members any of the artifacts they might need from doing in recent events. To make it challenging or interesting for the very top means leaving everyone else behind.And despite no changes, this Beta FA had the top teams finish with more points than the top teams had in the previous several FAs. The fellowships who want to win the FAs won't let the AW changes stop them.
"dang the torpedoes and full speed ahead"
The much smaller amount of fellowships participating is a stronger sign that the overachievement of a few. This game has dissuaded many people with the recent changes and should not be evaluated from the achievements of the top players to inform the general difficulty that all players are to experience.And despite no changes, this Beta FA had the top teams finish with more points than the top teams had in the previous several FAs.

well where the hell is our kirk? Need someone to hack the system and reprogram this game. Only difference is he would probably be met by cheers form the players'For the players its a Kobiashi-Maru senario.
( no win senario )
So... phoenix event ends april 2nd at 5pm est. And Fa is scheduled to start some time on april 4th... So 1 to maybe 2 days in between.
Inno better speed it up! i might have time to sneeze real quick in between events! ><
Yeah it was pretty good so far. We are currently in 2nd place on Sinya.I am very happy and enthusiastic about the fluid gameplay on all of my Life-Servers.
Everything seems to work very fine again. Elvenar is running perfect!
No matter how intense the FA is being played...
... i didn't have a single Stream Error today or had to refresh my browser.
Greetings and a big praise to the devs!
Yes, very well said, i am thinking the same thing EnevharYes, but unfortunately, I believe Inno will do the shortsighted thing and only see the higher scores and not pay attention to the lower overall participation.
