and to be clear this did turn into yet another project bashing thread but project is no longer a single entity of a group of players anymore its now a PLAYSTYLE that allows people to win without skill or effort by grouping together outside of the initial parameters im sure the original developers were not going for when they made alliances 50 members yet the multitude of pvp restrictions added allowed diplomacy to dictate the entire state of the game. close this thread if you want but you continuously close your minds to the fact that this game is dying because its not fun anymore and its not fun anymore because everyone knows whos gunna win after the first 2-3 days. as evidenced by the amount of hate i took when i intentionally chose the wrong winner in a server everyone knew the outcome of on the first day within the first hour. thats really bad for a game to be even labeled as such when a winner is predicted before the start of the match based on the amount of cooperating accounts only. properly implemented pvp was supposed to be the one thing that people could use to beat a larger developed alliance and now its impossible to do because of all your fancy computer things you guy did to this. everyone been taking a huge dump on this game with the way you killed the fun. its not that project people are stupid its just that i can now sort of see why russia is attacking ukraine. nato is alot like you people here, all grouping up together to kill the weaker competition by size alone. its a totally unfair way to gain advantage in the game and its only adding stupid badges to greedy peoples accounts at the price of losing players teams and ultimately this game you get off on dominating. not that im on russias side but everyone deserves the right to a fair and competitive environment and russia deserves the right to not have its missile defences blocked by nato expansion to its borders, whos to determine whos fault it is relations between russia and the west are bad to begin with. the world needs a diplomatic reset and so do the players in this game. people say they arent project anymore and it was just an idea to win and blah blah blah the same old mantra repeated in every project members post here but you have deprived yourself of competition already and wcs was a real shame i hope opened at least some of your eyes to the way that type of play style is killing this game. everyone wants to win i get it but when they dont the get frustrated and quit so i believe some of the problems could simply be solved by more servers to entice newer and vet players alike to play in a server for which the outcome is not clearly determined by which players group together in the first days. i must not make any sense at all for the amount of derision i recieve here but believe me when i tell you it was spawned purely off the back of pvp in game and and outspokenness i tend to display here and in global chats. and i know ive gotten worse as time goes on but ive toughened up due to the weather in here. life is hard sometimes and sometimes all the time so everyone deserves a place they can go and unwind let loose and have fun. i wont be dictated to by some large group of karens that dont like the name they chose anymore or the ones we give em. i know im not the only one but i bet most of the peeples that would have agreed with me are gone now. they left cause it sux here now cuz project happened and killed the vibe. have a goodnight or a good day wherever you are computer geeks.
