more servers?! any changes?

This can be the real WCS and not that current joke at the moment.

pretty obvious that project cheats, also obvious that EA wont ban them because they spend a lot of money. not a good look for EA. I still have the original C&C on CD, thats how much of a fan I used to be. Now, I think its going to be time to move on. Game is old, very outdated, and like I stated above, the only concern for EA is money it brings in.

It is outdated and an utter waste of money. When the only players in servers are project and potentially Koegy (if he came back to rescue everyone) then it is probably time to quit or move onto another MMO game. Real game companies do stamp down on things like server abuse.

There is no cheating. The game mechanics allow it and the way we play in allows it.
For most players it is not a way they wish to play so most are disgruntled and turn away from the game. The only real solution whether we like it or not is to vote with our feet. STOP playing the game STOP funding.

Project guys may have strategically dominated the last servers and possibly the next as well, however they are not the only ones that have a strangle hold on the game. On Tib50 the fort has been killed 5 times and guys prepare for a 6th then 7th and amazingly the number one badge team "Horny Guys" still call the shots on who how and when https://prnt.sc/23jm587 they don't even allow you to invite back your old mates so that you can all badge together (for 6th or 7th) ...... lol

Dictating who comes 2nd even 3rd i can understand as them are normally the guys that support you so that you can badge 1st but dictating 6th or even 7th just shows how the game has diminished. This type of thing would never happen if there were multiple servers to play and new challenges to conquer. The big guys after 3rd (bronze) would not be interested they would move on to their next challenge.

So the choices, we vote with our feet and play no new servers or EA give us multiple servers all starting at same time (within few days of each other). OR we just stop moaning in forums and play the dammed game and accept no real change.

Tick Tock

I hope some normality is restored on this new server so I will give it a try. This game isn't supposed to be won on the first day with 500 accounts, that is some major BS.

Sorry to burst your bubble of hope but with only one new server available it will be the very same as the last server launched, well maybe not quite the same hopefully they get the "time" correct this next server lol

They have won the WCS and are the greatest in the world, they can take a break now. I doubt they will play this one. It's also a morale server.

Yeah but some other team will do a copy cat. Within few days we will see a clear leader and then few days later all others will be wing alliances. Happens all too often now. ;-(

Maybe the issue isn't to do with teamplay (with or without alts as everyone could do this) but more that the game is old and has very experienced players. A WCS is meant for experienced players but 10th badge gets you on. Vet servers (not had one in a while) are also meant for experienced players but the entry requirements are low.

The real question is "how do you produce a world that only the genuinely in-experienced can enter?" and as has already been stated on the forums, an entry requirement of no badge would simply lead to new alts from experienced players entering in order to win.

Frustration at the same players winning is understandable, but I don't see a solution that would work. Do you have one?

I have to agree with your above point.

One potential way to deal with multiple accounts would be to amplify the negatives of multiple people hitting the same base. i.e. if more than one person hits a forgotten base, the total resources gained drops to 25% of what the base would have been worth if it was taken on solo.

While this would disincentivize multiple accounts used to tackle really hard bases, it would impact people who don't multi account. In fact, it would affect the people who don't buy resource caps and limit the bases they can tackle due to cp limitations. It would also discourage teamwork between alliance members...

Unfortunately I don't see any way to 'balance' out multi accounting. I would much rather it stay than any changes negatively impacting other players. To be honest, in my personal opinion, multi accounting doesnt give that much of an advantage IF there are enough players on a server. An alliance full of actual players will be significantly better off than an alliance half full of alts... assuming the people in the alliance aren't bots.

That of course would be 'cheating' in the eyes of the rules. But it is difficult for others prove! It's a massive assumption of course, but it is entirely possible alts are mainly bots!
