Cant Even Play The Event.

Postby Brenadier » Fri Sep 27, 2019 4:16 am

No matter what Its impossible for small nations to play the event. I Decided to run a test on how long till I was striked down as a single nation.
It took a whopping 2 minuets of time. Thats not even enough to make anything to protect yourself. What I have come to the conclusion on Is that there needs to be some sort of safeguard on new factions even 10 minutes is enough to put up defense. This entire event has boiled down to if you don't join someone big you cant participate the event. Overall the event is very biased on one side and no safeguards for "spawnkilling" new factions, It is literally impossible to play the event without being destroyed in under 20 min starting out. In emphasis on the protection, yes it can be abused but it would cause more diversity in the event instead of it always boiling down to 3-5 factions being the only ones playing.

Being small just means u gotta find some big faction (such as Urana Firma's faction) and ask them to protect you while you start stacking urself

You didn't get hit in 2 minutes. Targeting takes 10 minutes, Launching takes another 2-3. You have exactly what you're asking for.

Technicalities aside, that is unfortunately true. You have no chance in hell of surviving even if you have maybe 20-30 friends with you. You either need a large amount of people, or a large number of puppets.

And there's also the problem, which I like to complain a lot about, unfortunately, is when you have small-time nations that joined Horsemen or UPPERCUTS for the sheer defense that it provides. They can target anyone they want, and no one can do anything about it other than shielding. They can slap or punch you, but you can only block their attacks, and can't hit back or counterattack.

I think that's a tad frustrating. I would make my own faction to see how long I can last and who I can attack, but I'm sure that once you hit the big factions, you'll be dead in less than 10 mins.

Then join a big faction, easy, or ask a bigger faction to shield you. If you purposefully choose to remain on your own, well, then you're kinda asking for it, aren't you?

2 minutes is impossible But,


I was just trying to have a conflct between my region and my friends region and then I had to trade all my points not to be nuked 1000 times at 10 pm. And then an hour later while sleeping everyone i know got nuked. Big regions prey on little ones: and we cant get anywhere. I couldn't have a friendly war which sucks. There needs to be an option where 2 regions can just lock on war with one another. Seeing 10,000 nukes and having 7 nations, AND HAVING TO SLEEP (i know such a radical idea) is not operable

I know you're not addressing to me, but here it is anyway. ^^ I AM with the big regions, having 30 nations in one faction, and 15 nation in the other. I'm not saying that you should remain yourself, but just having maybe 10 friends or a group of people you like... Is not gonna help much if you get curbstomped within the first 10-20 mins. It could be resolved by joining big factions.

But I don't know, maybe I whine too much... it just kinda kills it when you can't have a lot of time nuking your friends, enemies, etc, because of the pacts that these factions have with one another.

With that said, single nation idea is a bad one. Get some puppets before the game. I would give the "One Man, 45+ Nations" idea a try next year... Would probably not last that long, that's for sure. :P

I agree But I wish there was a bunker safeguard IN the beginning to at least let the event get divided up not fall again like it always does into 3-5 factions being the only ones who can play the event.

Technically, a lot of factions gained points. It's just that only 25 managed to maintain a positive score :p
