Changes in the Nation War

After the implementation of the Lord of War patch, many things have change, especially in the Nation War.

First thing: The invitation to join the war. This is good because we don’t have to disconnect from a channel and select the Mission Nation War channel. In the new patch, an invitation will appear on the right side asking you if you want to join the war or not. Just by clicking “Join” the system will automatically transfer you from where you are to your nation’s lobby (Tempesta Rosa-Procyon and Spada Brillante-Capella). You still need to have a million alz in your character’s inventory as an entrance fee.

Second: The waiting time in the lobby was reduced from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. Not enough for filling up those SP bars. Nevertheless, in the new patch, additional pots can now be bought in the grocer. This includes SP pots. It is sold in 1’s that costs 100K alz and in 10’s that costs 1M alz. Still, like vital gears, it can only be used when your character is not taking damage from anyone/anything.

In the new patch, dancing in the Tierra Gloriosa is disabled. This means no more ‘dancing tambay’ in the war that almost everyone hate(s) to see during the war.

Third: If you are running out of pots in Tierra Gloriosa, in the new patch, you can now purchase pots (HP,MP and SP) anywhere on the map by pressing “N”. Just make sure you have extra alz in your inventory.

Fourth: Building force towers will not earn you points. Building force towers has been excluded in earning your personal points. Too bad for those mighty morphin’ tower builders and too bad to the nation because almost no one builds tower now after the LoW patch implementation. However, you can still earn points by PK and hitting and destroying guardians. The more damage you give, the faster you can earn points. Remember, always combo for additional damage.

Fifth: For the winning nation, those who were not able to score 30pts (minimum) will receive at least a million alz as long as they have earned some points during the war but there will be no WExp and core cube as these can only be earned when scored 30 points above. For the loosing nation, those scored lower than 30pts will receive a little amount or none at all. Above 30pts will receive an amount equal to what they gave in the war.

Sixth: Cool times for Aura and Battle Mode 1 and 2 were increased from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. I still don’t see the implication of increasing the cool times of the three modes. Just a reminder to those people doing “double BM” (Aura and Battle Mode) as they call it, if both are used, you cannot use it for another five minutes. And don’t use Aura halfway of the BM duration because the Aura will not override the BM duration to full bar.

Other than these, everything remains as is. The success of the Nation remains on everybody’s hands and not solely to one. You cannot ignore the fact that towers do help a lot in the war. Always listen to your commanders (if there are). And when a base needs back-up always be ready to transfer there to assist. You can check the hot grounds by pressing “tab”. And remember; vary your strategy once in a while.
