I don't understand the logic behind the attacker's actions, unless it was done purely out of spite. The risk taken and the expected losses from the MD's alone aren't worth the possible profit to be made, not even close.
Anyway, well done. I'll toast with a Kozel to the defenders (but i won't get drunk, sorry LOL).
I'd just like to point out that, if a server is a pit of snakes, then the fault does not lie with the server itself, but with the snakes who took residence in the pit, and if the snakes move somewhere else, then the new place will inevitably become the same.
i mean you can find interesting stuff
just look around different communitys
look at the turkish one eg
Man, that's pure lunacy.
BTW, i took your advice and found this gem:
WTH!
thats literally like 500- 1000eur "investment" failed one.. i'd rather put that money into stocks or either crypto.. less chance to lose, and atleast some to win in some future.. instead this is totaly waste.. lel
He's still going.
Display MoreHi,
I want to point out that the changes come from GF, affect all games, and as of now, I don't know what's final and what isn't.
As for the lag issues, etc, GF is aware of them.
Personally, I would have preferred that all the banners be on one side only so they don't take up space unnecessarily, and that the "play" button not be visible when opening topics, but well : D
Could you at least ask your masters not to hire chimpanzees next time they decide to restyle the forum?
My grandma could have done a better job, and she's been dead for 40 years.
Whoever is responsible for this restyling should be "promoted" to toilet cleaning duty until retirement.
Please scrap it and return to the previous style. It's still ugly, but at least it's usable.
I'm not saying you aren't right, but it's just description is wrong.
It literally states "All fights against bandits are honourable" when you hover over bandits
As you say, the description is wrong. Battles against bandits *can* be dishonourable.
They simply never bothered to correct it. They're too busy inventing new ways to extract money from the usual suckers.
Her stats speak for itself. But if we are talking about accomplishments and who's got the top spot..
See what I mean?
What i can see from the picture you so kindly provided is that RIO, an alliance of 2 members, has destroyed almost as many military points as DOOM, an alliance with a roster more than 10 times its size.
By delving further into mmorpg-stat i can see that 16 of these 19 billions points destroyed are from a single player, who dominates the corresponding scoreboard with more than 2x the amount of destroyed points than the 2nd, and a significant share of these points come from hits against DOOM members themselves.
By comparing the military strength of the two alliances i see that DOOM has more than 16 times the military strength of RIO.
So what are exactly these accomplishments you talk about? Being almost dominated by one single player with a fraction of your strength? If anything, this is RIO's accomplishment. But feel free to disagree.
Dunno where you crawled out from Supernoob but I suggest crawling back under it.
Kid, i was playing this game when you weren't even a spermatozoon. You're under no position to lord me over anything here, understood?
Here's some friendly advice that will probably fly over your head but whatever: stop taking any criticism to the group you're part of as a personal attack against your honor or something. It's a game, it's numbers. I'm not speaking ill of your mom or crapping over your country of origin, so there's no reason to be such a douche. Save it for things that really matter.
A lot of fights with words, in a game where fighting with ships is what matters.
EDIT: CluckerV2 i wouldn't mention Lacerta if i were you.
7. I'm not telling you to BE irrelevant. I'm telling you are as a player. ChatGPT fail?
You're spending a lot of words for someone who should be irrelevant
Attacker next time hit while sober.
FR to... both i guess?
this is what i have read:
Yes, that's the first iteration i was talking about. It's gone.
Oui oui baguette.
nope, i just cant stand wallet warriors, i am sorry.
Then, i'm sorry as well for being the bearer of bad news, but this:
no more colonies popping into ur solar system, instant moon, instant jg, MD incoming within few hours.
will still happen.
If you pay attention, you will notice that the text quoted by OP in his rant is the first iteration of the announcement, where neotenia produces a whole spiel about improving the player's experience by not having them think that going into vmode is the only way to protect themselves from a MD (unless they want to sleep in installments). With this rationale, the speed of a MD mission was to be capped at 1x war speed and level 7 hyperdrive regardless of the server settings. This is probably the scenario you had in mind.
However, in a masterful display of corporate deceit, the original announcement was quietly removed a little bit later, spiel included, and replaced by something different: now the speed of a MD *will be affected* but the server's war speed.
So, the only place where your reasoning works is a 1x war speed setting, which after the merge will be Uni1 and nothing else, where a MD from one system away will take approximately 9 hours, plenty of time to have a good sleep. But everywhere else, you're back to square one. MDs will take a little longer, but not quite enough for your usual nightly fleetsave. You will still have to either stay in recalled or go to sleep accepting the fact that the morning after you might find your moons gone and your fleet locked.
no more colonies popping into ur solar system, instant moon, instant jg, MD incoming within few hours. yeah. i welcome this change.
i can actually now go and do dirty fleet saves :))))
Is this sarcasm? Sorry for asking, but with the sheer amount of nonsense i keep finding in this board my sarcasm detector can't keep up anymore.
Not the worst idea (i've seen waaaay worse), but completely useless.
Either it makes an impact or not.
With MD speed capped regardless of the war speed, it DOES make a difference. Whether it is a desirable difference or not it's another story.
But this way, it just makes it a little slower. In a long fleetsave your fleet is still in danger, even in a hive, unless you are in recalled deploy. It changes nothing.
it's for the PTS test server first to iron out the bugs (or make them worse, lol).
Probably the latter.
Bugger. All what i said above was consequence of taking as a reference the WRONG table. My mistake. Too late for edit. Please just ignore it.
One more option to consider:
You keep reharsing the same table, with minor tweaks here and there, but keep failing to acknowledge and/or address the main problem.
I'll try to make it as simple as possible, hoping that even you can understand it.
Generally, attack fleet speed is a major factor in a player's choice. During a merge, a player would want to stick to the same speed, or stay as close as its original speed if the previous option is unavailable. Not convinced? Just look at the tantrum that ONE single players is throwing about the presence, or lack thereof, of a 5x speed option. He consider even a 4x speed as unplayable, go figure.
Now, with that in mind, here's what happens with players in Group 1:
Group 1
Exodus: Vega, Lacerta, Thuban, Fafnir
Target: Universe 1, New A, New B, New C
Fafnir: NewD is an almost exact copy of Fafnir, main difference is 2 galaxies more. Check.
Thuban: NewB is an almost exact copy of Thuban, main difference is it gets to 9 galaxies. Check.
Lacerta: NewA is an exact copy of Lacerta, down to the number of galaxies. Check.
Vega: only option to keep the same fleet speed is to forego ACS and being crammed into 5 galaxies. Fleeters will be unhappy because... D'UH, no ACS. Miners will be unhappy because all the spot 8's will be taken in days.
Do you see the problem now?
Things like higher debris field ratio or lower deut consumption are just sugar pills meant to sweeten a turd sandwitch. Players don't care much if df% or deut% are different, they care about ACS, or lack thereof, and the ability to settle on convenient spots.
Cannot refrain from upvoting this one
Is it weird to say I think the mods are using Cunningham’s Law on this thread?
Perhaps. But i'm more inclined to apply Hanlon's Razor.
