Shard chats are pathetic.

People, why are you doing this? You get the crystals ok but you are whales anyway. I mean I play the game for the competition. Why are you playing it? To stay in top 50 overnight, to play vs castrated teams so you can climb? Don't fight your shard chat never? This is pathetic. You ain't gaining shit and you loose respect from peeps.

    Everyone at the top can beat each other anyway as defense is handicapped and RNG also plays a major role. The payout system is a frustrating system, and shard chats just make it manageable. I don't like having to lock myself out a few minutes before payout or if I try to snipe someone I need to get it just right so they don't have time to beat me back or they haven't locked themselves out yet. Most other people would probably agree with me, and that is why we have shard chats.
    I might not be "most" , but for some of us that is exactly the fun part. With equal teams who can beat each other, the prize of the day goes to the one who is more active and focused on the perfect timing. Keeping in mind a game should be played for fun, if people get so lazy that they just want the best payout for minimum effort, I wonder what they are doing it for at all. Same with people asking for simming nearly every pve content in the game, I don't get it.

    I think you mean more fun opposed to "funnier".

    Also, kind of looks double negatives like no one can beat never.

    With that said, in a world where there is so much parody, many communicate for quality of life purposes.



    I think this post was meant to be a parody of grammar nazis.
  • Funny thing, been reading all the salty shard chat is for loser threads for a few months now just for the entertainment value. Couple of weeks ago I was invited to the newly formed fleet chat on my shard. I've been top 10 a long time, often top 3. I've been in fleet since early 2016. It's too much fun to chat with these guys and find out how nice they all are.
    We're not a very competitive shard, only one person shares my payout and only a few payouts across the board are shared. Now I just wish I could find my squad chat. Point is, give it a try.

    Normally, I would agree with you, but not so much in this game due to how much RNG plays a role and how poor the AI decisions can be so it feels like everyone loses on defense. The RNG leaves too much variance for the time it takes to finish a battle that it would just be too much "luck." I feel the game is designed so everyone beats each other so easily so it keeps things more competitive and people drop more so have to spend more crystals.
