Forum Rules [Updated 12/21/2016]

MAIN RULES OF THE FORUMS

Please respect your community. Respect each other as you all enjoy the same thing – The Game.

We encourage open and friendly discussion of the game and the Community. Moderators and Staff have final decisions on all matters, and are here to make sure that the Community remains a friendly, fun place appropriate for players of all backgrounds, ages and groups.

It is the forum member's responsibility to stay up to date on forum rules and to honor the behavior outlined.

PURPOSE OF THE FORUMS

These forums provide an area for constructive player discussions of the game. It also allows players to
help each other identify bugs and issues, and help each other reproduce and resolve them.

These forums are not the most direct way to contact support. If you’re having an issue with your game and you need direct assistance, please tap on the FAQ/Support tab within the game.

CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENT

Please make sure to stay updated on these rules by reviewing this page from time to time.

SET RULES

This is a private board. As such, decisions made are final.
We reserve the right to remove any message board content without notice for any reason.


Rule 1: Responses to rule violations
Violating these rules will result in warnings, either formal or informal, suspensions, banning, or other sanctions.

Rule 2: Respect other users on the forums
- Do not make attacks or insult other users, either in the forums or through private messages. Disagreements and debates are fine, but don’t make it personal.
- Do not attack groups. This includes professions, races, religions, sexual orientations, genders, incomes, or even vague groups like “you people.”
- Do not use ill terms which are offensive to groups, do not “flame”, “troll.” or “haze”.

Rule 3: Respect the forum purpose and structure
- Make your posts in the appropriate forum.
- Please use the Search function. If a relevant thread already exists, please post there instead of creating a new thread about the same topic. Duplicate threads will be closed to keep the forums orderly and easy to navigate.
- Keep off-topic posts in the off-topic forum.
- Don’t start discussions about games that are not ours.
- Do not cross-link to other message boards or websites unless approved by a moderator.

Rule 4: Respect the law
- Do not post anything illegal under U.S. law, or encourage other users to break the laws of the U.S. or their country of residence.
- Do not encourage users to break terms of service. This includes giving information about how to find scripts, exploits, or cheats, as well as arranging to buy or sell accounts or virtual goods.

Rule 5: Respect the audience
Think about who you're talking to. Users may be as young as 13 on these message boards, and may be male or female, and from countries across the globe.
- Keep your language civil. Profanity is frowned on.
- Do not post Adult Material, inappropriate graphic sexual content in any format, or links to sexually explicit sites.
- Do not post graphic images or explicit descriptions of violent acts.
- Do not use an avatar or signature that could offend other users. They have to look at it a lot.

Rule 6: Respect privacy
- Do not post any private emails or private messages unless you have the explicit permission of each person involved in the exchange.
- Do not post private communication between customer support, members, moderators, or administrators on these forums, or anywhere else. (This include support ticket responses)
- Do not post any information covered by a non-disclosure agreement or beta testing agreement. Even if you somehow have inside information about our competitors, for legal reasons we don’t want to hear it.
- Do not post Facebook information about other forum users.
- Do not post any private information about other users.
- Do not post in-game information in an attempt to have other players attack your target. Be careful to not cross the line into bullying.

Rule 7: Do not spam
- Do not post repeatedly about the same topic.
- Do not spam users on the forums or through private messages.
- Do not start a thread without actual purpose.
- Do not start a thread about a news story or article unless you make it clear what the story is about, and offer your own opinion to start a discussion.

Rule 8: Respect your account
- Do not share your account information with other individuals. You will be held responsible for any rules violations that occur under your account.
- Do not create new accounts or use other tricks to avoid suspensions or bans.
- Do not create ‘sock puppet’ accounts – multiple accounts created just so that you can agree with yourself and make it seem like your ideas have more support than they do.
- Never include your e-mail address or any other personal information in posts.

Rule 9: Respect the Moderators
- Do not post using the color red. This color is reserved for moderators.
- Do not impersonate moderators. Do not claim to speak for the moderators.

Rule 10: Respect the decisions of the moderators
- The moderation teams reserves the right to warn, suspend, or permanently ban users judged to be acting against the spirit of the rules, even if the user is following the letter of the rules.
- Do not argue with moderators about moderator decisions. You can disagree with a moderator’s opinions, just like any other poster, but when they post moderator actions in red text, it is considered final.
- Moderators have no access to your game account. If you have an issue you must contact customer service.

Generally, BE NICE. There is nothing wrong with being nice to each other.

  • Spreadsheet - Calculate your effective stats with Pierce & Resistance!

    The impact of Pierce and Resistance on your PvP strength is huge. However there is no easy way to calculate by how much your stats are actually enhanced by your Pierce and Resistance.

    Retribution determined the formulas (best guesses) and created a spreadsheet to easily calculate your effective Attack and Defense.

    And there it is:


    --- CALCULATOR - Piercing and Resistance impact on Attack and Defense stats ---


    All you have to do is enter your attack and defense values (pierce and resistance boost everything) and your pierce and resistance amounts and you get your effective stats as a result.


    Keep in mind that the results you get however are your stats IF you opponent had no piercing (if you're being attacked) or no resistance (if you're attacking him).
    Indeed, the bonus provided by your own pierce and resist depends on your opponent's pierce and resist values; and most of the time, a big chunk of it will probably be negated.

    That said, personally, I find this spreadsheet awesome



    --------------------------
    Edit [June 11, 2019]:

    Spreadsheet link above updated.

    It now allows 2 new things:
    • Calculate your eBSI (and eAtk / level and eDef / level)
    • Simulate battles between 2 players

    The spreadsheet now has 2 additional tabs called BattleSim and BattleSim2, which allow you to simulate battles between either you and any other player, or between any 2 players.
    These are pretty much the same tabs, except that in the first one, your own stats are already filled (imported from the first tab (Calculator)), so you only have to fill your opponent's stats. But in case you want to use other stats to simulate the battle, you can use BattleSim2 to fill stats for both players.

    Just fill the stats (atk/def and pierce/resist), and the spreadsheet will display who should win the duel.


    Other than that, Badpuppehs (on Discord) put up a Google Form to gather eBSI data from all players:

    --- Pierce and Resistance Calculator Data ---

    I think he wants to eventually make graphs like those in this post:
    http://www.castleageforums.com/cforu...eed-Index-(LSI)
    But with data relevant to today's standards

    This site can do similar

    This calculator will approximate your BSI, LSI, TSI, effective attack, effective defense, time to level and other statistics for Castle Age, given your characters stats.

      It doesn't factor in the so called threshold bonus which some would say makes it useless

      I think it's still good to give you an idea, since I don't know how much these threshold bonuses will actually come into play day to day, or if they will, you're probably a 2k player hitting some level 500 with no gems and you would have won anyway

        Yep and as you can see, it doesn't differentiate physical from elemental, while physical is better (roughly, elemental only gives about 80% of what physical gives you).

        Edit:
        Also it doesn't take into account General & Equipment stats which are also boosted by Pierce and Resistance (although you can add them to another field (like the "Attack" field) if you know they count and want to calculate your effective attack with pierce).

        All in all, I don't get the same results at all using this website and the spreadsheet.

          Could anyone with level >800 and BSI > 6 post their stats for comparison?

                I tried Zserg. Invade yes, duel no. I lost the first war try but fixed my war council, hadn't looked at it in a long time and the second try won.
                29,972/26,498 if I did it right.

                  I can beat your Daphne loadout, but I guess that is the one you have for guild defense purposes, not your pvp alone purposes because I remember losing to you in the last Arenas/Deathmatches.
                  I have improved my gear, specially my gems since then, but I didn't expect to win now. One of my latest goodies:

                  I tried invade, first with Chase and then with my regular pvp. Won too, probably thanks to my many items from Vargulis.

                    I could make a slightly better loadout for def, but I don't have one right now. That's the loadout I keep on these days as def and it's the one with the 35k figure.

                      I see you didn't have any problem beating my defensive set. I still have room for improvement, with 3 sockets waitng for epics and Thanatos Gauntlet on its way. Maybe in 8-9 months...

                        The spreadsheet seems... excessive? With my defensive loadout it is 42,103/78,372. I have triple checked that my entries are correct, but have not done the manual math.

                              I've got some gemless gear that would be better than what I'm using, but no good gems for it

                              It's because of all those threshold bonuses :/
