Prestige loss

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, but has it been considered to remove the loss of prestige from players who lost the battle? You would need to increase the prestige level for ranks, but it would at least not demoralize a player who worked hard to get to the next rank only to have to regain their prestige again (especially if your entire army is wiped). I think the loss of troops is enough of a pain; loss of prestige is just kicking the player when he is down.

Anyone who is in the pvp competitions can see that most players quit after their army is wiped and their prestige is reduced to a fraction of what it was. I know there is a bottom to the player’s loss, but if you were near the next rank you stand to lose quite a bit.

Wait what? your saying that if someone looses a battle......they dont loose perstige? its a war game, you fight to take whats thiers, and then what does the winner get? random perstige?

WTF? Really? Prestige is part of the game. If this went into effect, there would be no reason to starve ppl you hate...

i think they should lose prestige, but just not as much. like they lose a fourth of what the other guy gained.

I would say you gain the same amount as you currently do. It is a war game, however seeing a player get discouraged and quitting because he just lost a ton of prestige doesn't help HK in the long run.

I personally would prefer to have ideas that promote war, however things like prestige loss only reinforces keeping armies in seclusion. I would go as far as to say prestige loss is actually hindering war. After all, wouldn't you be more inclined to start a fight if you knew that you would only lose your troops and not prestige?

as i said above its a war game, you fight to take whats theirs. Also that person would feel alot better if he beat that person down the road and taking their perstige, wouldnt you?

I understand your point, however this no longer feels like a "war" game. It feels more like a scout around and hope someone left their army open game.

I would give up the benefit of hurting my enemies' prestige if it meant fighting them more. Again, we need to address the fact there there is no true "war" happening, it's more of small individual battles.

Join an alliance. Battle other top alliances. It's actually quite fun!

i kind of feel the way shna-ra is coming, but i must say i lost 100k prestige 2 weeks ago from the top guy in my server and i learned a valuable lesson. now in 2 weeks i have a much bigger army than the one i lost. it would be disapointing to see that they change this feature because if one day i go after him i wouldnt be able to make him suffer like i did...

I've lost loads of prestige and obviously complained but this sounds to me like someone who's just lost a lot of prestige and is whining sorry to have to say that.
