There never was an aura of invincibility, just a bunch of nobodies crying that they couldn't defeat their enemies while refusing to cooperate with other players. Now they've formed up their own coalition they are getting a foot off the ground at least. But that;s not what the complaint is. I don;t really care if we lose all of our space as long as it's entertaining while it's happening. We play games to be entertained not endlessly watch numbers tick down while one dude mines a structure.

You're far too busy trying to get your little insults in to look at the actual quality of gameplay here, but it's dire. We all know this and the only reason some people like it is because of the advantage it gives them.


I like how anyone who isn't stupid enough to think that cooperating is as easy as saying "OK let's cooperate" is a nobody. We had the balls to stand on our own, we got our **** kicked, and now we're growing and getting better than we used to be.

Don't be jealous fam, you can do it too, it just requires hard work and effort.

Yeah I feel like calling it guerrilla tactics lends it more credibility than it deserves.



Um...
"Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which a small group of combatants such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military."

You know, just in case you wanted to know what wikipedia says.

When exactly did you stand on your own?

And I'm not talking about people who don't find it easy, I'm talking about these group that actively refuse to then complain because their hundred man alliance can't take sov on their own. That's what there was before the sov changes.

I will add my voice to the many. Please, please reduce the number of sov vulnerability timers. Every day we log in, that's all we do is defend space. There's no time for anything else. I work and have a family life to enjoy.

At least with a paying job you get two days off. Take these vulnerability timers down to 3 days a week.

You'd developers must think there are hundreds of thousands of people playing this game. That or that we're all unemployed with nothing better to do. Reduce the timers for goodness sake.

Thanks


Is there anybody here who remembers the Tribute war of 2012, when the CFC evicted NC. from Tribute and Vale?

The war went like this:
The CFC had complete superiority in US and EU timezones, so NC. set their timers to AU where the numbers were more even.
After weeks of fighting and losing in AUTZ CFC command hit on a new plan: they told their AUTZ not to form up, and EU and US timezones created dozens of timers every day for the NC. AUTZ to rep. Eventually the NC. bros got sick of it and left, allowing the CFC to capture the sov.

Those guys had families and jobs too, and their sov was vulnerable 23.5/7, not just in their strongest timezone. They couldn't even save uncontested timers with frigates, they had to use and risk capitals.
What the hell are you complaining about?

The same mechanic now being an official part of the game. Boredom based mechanics are always bad for games as they are designed for entertainment. Yes, people use whatever is available to win, but the general idea is that games move away from mechanics which reduce player entertainment towards ones that improve it.

What happened to the idea of entosising a ship until the capsule popped out? That sounds fun possibly.

It's sad to find out some players don't understand how you can develop real bonds with people in your coalition, or even friendships strong enough that you'd be willing to watch their back.

I need some clarification, please. You are saying that no one in the game should have the audacity to attack your positions if they are not fielding large capital fleets. That there is no room in this game for the smaller tactical ships to cause your alliance any discomfort or annoyance.
That is precisely why that tactic is used against you, and will continue to be used. You believe military might through massive projection of power is going to win every encounter. You may be able to look into a couple of military operations from the past in places called Vietnam and Afghanistan to see where your philosophy will fail.
War is not always large decisive victories. It is often attrition, and sapping the will of the defenders to fight. Combat tactics evolve. If you can not, or will not adapt to it, then you will eventually fall. That is not a fault in a game mechanic, that is a fault in the player.
