huh... Our server is pretty populated so every land have people, thou some are just fillers. So we have yet to have a case where we can win with 2 lands (highest 2 is only 18 out of 39, which would be a loss)

So I've always chalked reduced income to losing as opposed to the lands...

Winning with 2 lands before this... some lands are unoccupied by both side I'm guessing?

All lands are occupied, i'm just going with the formula someone posted about 700 + 100 for each field won. That would make sense why I do not get 1000 coins for winning my field.

But back to the topic at hand, this change is not welcomed at all because now only the strongest will win and there is no strategy left.

It further strengthens the idea that groups should be small because technically you only need 3 strong players to wipe the entire enemy crew for each field. And you only need to win 2 fields so just 6 players is enough to win GNW.
And those 6 players will be doing GNW legendary pack rotation on alternate weeks.

Nothing really changes, except now the weaker groups have ZERO chance of winning and everyone gets less group coins to spend in shop.

We have a big problem also with this change...now 3 fields-27 members...where does the other 4 of our members go? Now for me every member can help out and even bring a victory...now stacking up 3 fields and our rival group has several 90k people that go to together and on the third os the snake...now they were 24 people across 3 fileds...why would we have to lower our numbers ju St to fit into the new system...at least put 4 fields make them 10-8 and 6-5 ...nkw everyone would go for that 10 if they are low on members but we wont have to sacriface our group members and plus more room for tactics.

If you have more than 27 players participating in GNW, then this change will not affect you.

This change is for servers with less that 27 players participating in GNW.

just to clairify this it's 27 on 1 side, not 27 total, so group of 27 vs group of whatever has 6 fields, group of 20 vs group of 20 only 3 fields

/Quote Dear Ninjas,

We'd like to inform you on the new rules on "Great Ninja War". The amount of battlefields open in Great Ninja War are related to the amount of participants. When participants are fewer, the number of battlefields will also be adjusted and less battlefields will open (this process depends on the number of participants of the last 3 weeks).

The number of opened fields are determined by case to case basis, which means it can change depending on both warring groups.

In order to unlock all 6 fields, a minimum of 27 participation is required by any of the two warring groups. Unless none of the warring groups reached 27 participations in last 3 weeks, they will have to war within the 3 top fields (10, 8 and 7)

Ok it is not really clear so i will attempt to decode the mystery behind this post.

1. In order to unlock all 6 fields, a minimum of 27 participation is required by any of the two warring groups.

2. Unless none of the warring groups reached 27 participations in last 3 weeks, they will have to war within the 3 top fields (10, 8 and 7)

On second reading of this, I'm not exactly sure what is meant by 27 participations in last 3 weeks.

It in also unclear here if the participants are unique (1 player counts as only 1), or it will just count the number of participations (1 player can participate 3 times a week and count for 3).

Does that mean that we need to have a 27 participation at least once in 3 weeks to open up 6 fields? or are we allowed to get 27 participation over the course of 3 weeks?

Here are the possibilities:

Average number of player in one round of battle

Maximal number of player in one round of battle

Average number of player to participate in a GNW.

Maximal number of player to participate in a GNW

Total number of distinct participants in GNW

I think that's more or less it. Those are mostly in increasing order, thou #2 and #3 might be swapped.

Well, this topic got a lot of replies.

Other then that, 27's a big number, impossible for older servers, if your server is below like, 360, you have pretty much 0 chance to merge. Yet, servers in the 500's are already asking for merges.

...I want my Kakashi

I have a protip for those players that want a merge or know that they will be getting a merge..

You have heard of freeze leveling? Good. Let me introduce to you freeze powering.

Basically, you suggest to your entire server to keep their resources (coupons, coins, refines, etc.) and do not spend them until you get a merger.

This is because power is a big factor considered in merger and you can therefore understate that by doing the above.

Once you get merged, you spend your resources and BOOM you are suddenly godlike on your newly merged server lol.

my question is if it isnt broke dont fix it lol gnw was good leave it alone worry about the moods in the wheel or any of the other many many many bugs seriously ask who ever is doing all this if they are working to kill the game cuz thats what they are doing so if they are not wanting that they shoild stop doing things that lead to that

Sorry guys about the confusion and I have asked to get a clearer answer. So to clarify, to unlock all 6 battlefields, a minimum of 27 participants in the last 3 weeks is required by at least one of the two warring groups.

The minimum requirement of 27 participants per week is met if the group had at least one round with 27 or more participants. This means that a group who had at least one round each week (of the three weeks) with 27 or more participants will have 6 battlefields rather than 3. Again, only one of the two warring groups needs to meet this requirement in order to gain access to the 6 battlefields.

Can you guys change that to 24 so that there is at least a buffer zone?

Say if a group always have 20-26 players show, gets reduced to 3 fields and then suddenly one day, a few extra show up but they wont be able to fit because there are only 27 slots.

It's a bit silly to require 27 when, once becoming 3 fields, 27 is all that will fit and there is no room to place more.

i cant believe it!!!

we had higher chance with 6 fields after all we are dead server and less stronger than the other guild and we sometimes win stacking other fields with trap empty fields...

now we re going to be doomed!!

That is quite true. I will bring this up right now and see what can be done. Thank you so much for bringing this up.

~Jib

Well if china has this change implemented already then we will follow suit for sure.

I would greatly appreciate not being forced to fill the fields for the 6, i would prefer 20 or more but lowered by 3 to 24 is at least nicer on us. Thank you for looking into this.

side note, Do we just need to have 27 for one round on one day in 3 weeks?
