This has to be the worst PvP cup since the first Amina cup

It's really annoying lol. More so when another person from this forum does it I might just invalidate the wallers

I guess it's mw fault and it's all strategy.

 

I don't know this walling strategy until I came across @Kura, twice....everyone is taking advantage of it now, me included....yep, no fun, but works...

 

not everyone

 

yep, I was sort of exaggerating.....but I can say from my experience over 90% of the P1s I have encountered, if they have a CT+4, they wall me, then I lose.....then I just think, why should I not wall them when I am in their place....again, I know it sucks and no fun....

 

Apparently when I walled someone from the forum it made him upset, I am sorry, dude...... @cjguitarman the thing was I could not always actually remember who walled me and who did not......so why don't we do this? I will be constantly back checking this thread, if you are using the same in-game-name, just simply like this post, then I know that we are not going to block each other in PvP to make it more fun.

 

@ShadowMaster , I'm not upset, I was just trying to warn you that I will invalidate when walled. I also don't wall when I am P1. It's no fun for them or me.

 

Yep, that is what I figured I am not going to ask how you invalidated , but seemed like I took you for someone who walled me before, haha, my bad guess we are good now.
P.S: you played really well for this cup, keep it up and i will beat you next time

 

Thanks, it was fun playing with you. I really enjoyed the first few days of the cup. I'm not sure whether I will play any more though. The walling has become so rampant that it's not very fun anymore.

 

Guys, don't invalidate just because you dislike the walling strategy. Yes walling is perceived as unfair and un-fun but it is a valid strategy. Invalidating however is cheating. It is sad to see people just throw their principles out of the window and justify cheating with a "I don't like how he plays"-argument. If you dislike playing PvP where this strategy is rampant just don't play during this cup. It is better to lose some energy rather then turn into cheater and lose integrity.

I mean I have mixed feelings about people who invalidate cheaters because it seems like stooping on their level. But at least it is somewhat justifiable.

 

If walling is valid strategy, then this Cup should be decided on coin toss I don't mind a cheap loss against someone trying a cheap win I usually give player one chance, if he doest it again, he doesn't deserve the win

 

I'm not throwing my principles out of the window. It's not possible because there is no window in the wall.

 

Not really...
Both equal, IMO.

At this point, it's more MW fault for not patching both walling and invalidate.

 

Finally got to S league for the first time despite the invalids and an evil wall. I'm out this cup! *drops mic*

 

The same stupid arguments that were around for Amina cup v1 are coming back...
Please stop arguing, both issues need to be fixed by MW, it is as simple as that. How you deal with the issue is up to you, and though I pass no judgement, we all know that you shouldn't be invalidating OR walling, as both are exploiting a broken system.

 

I have only one whish regarding that game.
That someday Mistwalker just decide to remove that option of "invalidating", and ban all accounts that has a high percentage of invalidating, forever and ever.
All people who would have cheated from the very beginning, would need to start the game from 0.

As for wallers, they are not competitive people, they take an advantage that is unfair, but at least, they are not cheaters.
Yeah guys: whatever the reason, invalidating is tricking the game, it's a cheat, and it's against the little "I agree" you clicked on before launching the game for the first time.
And for me, if people do not respect his part of the contract, then his account should be simply and purely deleted.

 

ok, i don't know how to invalidate, it's really unfair when you were p1 and walled me multiple times, but when i walled you while i happened to be p1 then you invalidated me......nice try...yep, i learnt this walling strategy from you......keep invalidating me

 

Just because they use a "cheap" strategy doesn't mean they are not competitive. The mechanics of this particular cup are such that walling is an extremely effective strategy and someone taking advantage of that doesn't make them 'bad'... it makes the mechanics bad that such a thing is even possible on turn 1. Not walling is a choice anyone can make, but choosing not to wall doesn't necessarily make someone 'better'. Just because someone chooses to use Gego^ when you don't have Gego^ yourself doesn't make them non-competitive just because they're using what the game legally allows. Neither are exploits, bugs or hacks and it's not fair to call someone out just because they take the advantage.

I probably shouldn't teach people how to invalidate, but it's better that everyone at least understand how it's done. As I understand invalidating (and I might be wrong), it's done by changing the connection between your client and the server without changing your connection status. Basically the TB servers lose the ability to contact your client without your client telling the servers that you're no longer reachable. I don't know the specifics on how TB determines that (it could be different form app to app), but if you disrupt the connection between the router and modem it works or at least it used to. Basically if TB thinks the connection loss was 'unintentional' then it invalidates the match.
