Alternate account ideas
Alright, I'm sick of seeing threads about alternate accounts ruining the game. They always turn into a name calling, he did/she did accusation party. Yes, alt accounts are bad and are abused to high h...

settle this in w28 then, dont use alts come with project and see how far ahead you get of everyone else then.
Look, I'm telling you from experience. On wrath 27 (FA no morale, with project) I did exactly that experiment - started in same sector as everybody, used strictly 0 alts, not even layout search. Was still in top 5 all server and highest offense at fortress.
Now the trick with starting in a different sector and relocating after a few days into main dig lane per se is a benefit in many ways: layouts, poi, easy bases, saving on cp. Every big team over the years, since tib 18 when we first came up with this trick, has used it. Schaffa on last wcs used it. With or without alts it helps. That's not really related to alts, and its available to everybody. That benefit washes away if you don't do things right in mid game.
The only big benefit of alts was pre-hitting so that you can dig and one-shot 5-10 bases per day from main account. That is gone and unavailable with the patch. You can maybe save rt somewhat with what sanna and maly are doing, but you can't scale that up (i mean have many people do that), and last wcs saving lots of rt didn't help the coalition, it only weakened their main bases. So that washes away also if you don't do other important things right."chadthurston;c-2214752" wrote:
pvp is always over in project servers before they begin because you project guys are too afraid to lose or have competition anywhere close to even so you recruited absolutely everyone that plays FA servers to join.
not always. Just as recently as tib 44. Was a good fight and social distancing beat project, with minimal alt use.
This wcs has no competition because two of the strongest players in the game, for personal or other reasons, all quite understandable, did not play, so the rest of the opposition could not organize without them. That is the real reason. Things will change.
From what I've experienced, you're right... although the ability to shoot 5-10 bases a day and pre-hit hard bases to capture strategic POIs in of itself is extremely advantageous.
While not discrediting your achievement of being top 5 all server without using alts, how many other people were using alts? How many POIs did you have before other people due to said alts, allowing faster growth from bigger bonuses?
