Wouldn’t top 100 player from any world that was active from the start of the last masters world to now make more sense for criteria? Seems like a very narrow pool. I have no intention to play, but like leaving someone off who had a good world in 2025 or prior to a closure on July 20th but inviting a random from 2021 who just happened to win is wild.

With such a small player base, if you have not won a world in last 5 years there is no reason for that player to receive a Masters invite. They should have included only the winners criteria and the previous masters top 100 participants in my opinion.
There are markets where top 100 of current worlds are 30 accounts legit players, 70 accounts multi accounts which will be accessible for masters. If it was only winners of a world in the past 5 years as qualification criteria this problem would have been resolved.

I feel like its a tough situation. On one hand, there's folks that don't win but would be much better additions than bringing back a random who won 5 years ago. On the other hand, successfully bringing back folks from 5 years ago could generate some returning players. I think the appeal, in my opinion at least, is a massive "tournament" of multiple servers.

Due to recent events, I am way more pro-BP boosting than I was in the past. Please don't fix. Buff actually.

What is taking so long with the auto farming villages feature? You could probably vibe code it in 30 minutes and release it tonight

But that would show us they CAN work fast if they want. But they dont want us knowing they slacking daily.

Game would need a major rework for bp boositng to be fixed, cuz players will always find a way..
Maybe some mechanic similar to world wonders where you are incentivised to stay inside the alliance and when you leave there is a big drawback, but throughout the entire duration of the server.
Ultimately it doesn't matter since there is no competitive integrity anyway. Bigger offender is monthly GA packs that drop with unlimited purchase option - you can just pay to play at 2x speed compare to everyone else, and if your credit card is deep enough then you can play 2x faster and 2x more efficient for the entire duration of the server.

@Red-Haired Shanks we have to unite against the golders

That's why Masters was x5 last year and x6 this year, because its the best speed for f2p players to be able to counter gold with their activity if gold remains their only issue.
You can not eliminate the element of gold from the game for reasons I find obvious enough to explain. About GA offers, in my opinion they can be excluded from Masters like events are. Although, GAs impact is not so effective against a proper/active team which is what matters the most to have.

Inno really can't get anything right, the roll out and invitation requirements of these 2 master servers have been shocking.
But then again, it's without a doubt some poor intern that just got a task to do something with this game
1. Have to have won a server since 2021 - fair enough, although probably couldve put the date further back
2. Have to have played the other master server (CQ) - ?????
3. Have to be in top 100 in an active server - ????
Does Inno really not realize that their playerbase mostly is split in CQ/Revo? Does inno really not realize that people waiting for this server probably arent top 100 in an active server, because they are waiting for this server
This game deserves to die, really feel sorry for people still wasting their money.

You have to have 1 of the requirements not all 3 of them. They can't do much better in invitations than this. If they go further back from like 2018 or something the amount of accounts invited will be so much that the server will not be able to handle it. We are talking over 60 worlds for 20 markets.

My bad, however for the first master's this was not the case. Being in HoF since 2021 did not grant an invitation, i believe you had to also be in the top 100 of an active server

True story but we complained so that it gets changed to something better and thankfully it did.

Given the complete lack of energy around this world, pretty sure it’s safe to say the first one was a major bust.

Gee I wonder why, its almost like its because they didn't fix any core problems with the game, they just slapped a brand new name and logo on a world and gatekept it to a terribly picked list of users!

Is there still no plan to fix mass boosting? Now that we won en180 I will might go there, but no desire to play a world of self boosting after what I heard from the first masters world.
