Proposed change to AR

Let's face the facts, eventually Defensive wins in AR are going to be far more important than offensive ones. As it is setup currently, pooling all your resources into upgrading the Defensive Fortress is easily the best use of such rare material, so here is my proposal for IS(feedback sent).

What if the Fortresses were independent of each other? What I mean by this is that they remove the comparison and give the raiding party bonus stats per Offensive Fortress level (+1 or +2 per level), and the same for the Defensive Team. To my at a lower stat Increase it places less of an importance on either, but still making both very valid options.

Thoughts?

I think there is a flaw in your logic. Defensive wins will never be more important than offensive wins AT ALL. Why do you think they will?

Because once we pass AR 4, our losses will affect our scores and we'll lose about 80 or so points per 20 hours. So yes, they will mater. A fair bit actually. The bigger problem is that the higher you get the smarter players will be, so it's going to be nigh impossible to get defense wins either way.

I know that, but still offensive wins will be more important. At the rate we are seeing attacks now it is very unlikely that you will lose 2 times in the same day with a period of over 20 hours between the attacks, so you are looking at less than -80 points per day on average (you lose less per unit killed), in the worst case scenario -160. In the meanwhile, you lose 100 potential points if you don't get an offensive win. You are guaranteed 1 free attack per day. At maximum lift you will spend 120 lift per attack but, all seems to indicate that you will be able to able to upgrade the fountain and be able to attack at least twice per day, maybe even more but it is still unknown. At the start of the season you will be able to attack at least 3 times for sure.

So, even if you would NEVER be able to attack more than once per day (that's just the free attack) you would still be more likely to earn more lift than lose if you get 100 pts on your attack.

Also never losing a match within a 24h span seems unrealistic, you WILL lose at least once no matter what defenses you have. If you do not keep your offenses upgraded you will reduce your chance to get those 100 pts, and then you will be looking at a negative score everyday.

The cost of Aether to play a match is getting rather expensive, so therefore you have less and less chances to gain lift, thereby placing importance on not losing lift (that is some sound logic right there).
