New MEDAL System INFORMATION.

[Gazza]

Just been talking to a developer to try and clear things up about the medal system since its a very big discussion at the moment. I have asked them a few questions and have got this is the reply i have got.

The new medals system is going out very soon. The Gifts will be sent right after that. (Keep an eye on your mail box).

[07:31:38] Gazza: Nice, anything else in the gift package?? also how long will it be untill the patch is out? or new system?
[07:33:28] Dev: The new medal system will be out soon & Age 2 is in development.
[07:41:01] Gazza: Can you give me more of an insight to the new medal system? How are medals obtained? Is it based on the amount of casualties or what ?
[07:43:37] Dev: Medals will be given via PVE battles, by attacking valleys and barbarian citys. The drop rate will be raise to 50%-90%.
[07:43:56] Gazza: What % is the drop rate at the moment, before the patch
[07:44:09] Dev: However, The high level medals will be harder to get due to high defense troops in NPC cities.
[07:45:09] Dev: There was a bug in our first upgrade, which the drop rate was very low. In our latest patch, we raised the % by 200. Which is around 20% maximum.
[07:45:17] Gazza: So, high level medals can only be obtained from NPC citys(barb villages), but lower level medals you can obtain via both valleys and barbarian city, ?
[07:45:59] Dev: The community might not understand our views right now, But we actually moved up a big step, 200 times more than the orginal sounds like a big move to us. However it's still not a fair system.
[07:46:26] Gazza: So, high level medals can only be obtained from NPC citys(barb villages), but lower level medals you can obtain via both valleys and barbarian city, ?
[07:46:30] Dev: Yes.
[07:46:39] Gazza: Is that information again confidential? or can i let people aware of this ?
[07:49:04] Dev: You can inform them.
[07:49:15] Gazza: Thanks
[07:50:01] Gazza: ill write something up, show you and if you could confirm what i written, or fix where i went wrong , i think i understood you clearly.
[07:52:48] Dev: Sure. I am going to a meeting now. You can write it here, and I'll check it when I come back.

We're still awaiting the patch to implement this new medal system,
As you can see the old system gives about a 20% chance of obtaining a medal. I dont know if medals are currently obtained right now in the same way as the new system we discussed.

Ive edited the dev's name out so you guys cant hunt him down and pester him.

But if you have any questions regarding the medal system please let me know in this topic and ill do my best to pass it on and get you an answer.
Obviously i cant forward every single question forward as he simply wont have time to answer them all.

Lets keep this post on topic, no flaming or nothing.
Thanks

ok, so let me see if i have this right. We had the one system. Then they raised the drop rate to 100%. Then dropped it to insanely low. And the last patch from last week raised it to 20% and now we're getting 50-90% based on how hard the battle was?

Sounds reasonable.
