Patch 19.1

It was good playing with you solsibus. I hope we meet up again on future worlds.

As others have said in reply, team cooperation on tough bases is the best part of this game. There is nothing that is as fun as calling out your sim results, then launching your army with your team-mates looking on. The patch is literally gutting the appeal of the game and FBs are now only a little bit more interesting than farming OPs.

I hope the Developers will re-think the strategy in removing multi-account capability and always keep this game focused on team play concept.

But that is you testing on a live production world. How would you propose the developers test before putting it onto a live production world? I don't know how they can. The PTE doesn't attract the type of skilled players needed for this type of testing for very long with only a few exceptions. (Many are better players than me, but that isn't the point!) Even less on the PTE manage to maintain alts and use them in the way that has been abused on WCS and other worlds.

I think the patch itself is really good ... there is only a small adjustment needed. No multi accounting is better for the game, so this fact should stay.
The teamplay idea has to be brought back. To reach this I would just give all left resources to the attacking players without loosing any. But to make alts still useless it has to be given to each attacking player. How much everyone gets depends on the damage he dealt.
That makes sure attacking pays out for every raidpartner.

this is actually one of the better ideas i've seen. spread the loot through the people who attacked the base depending on how much damage they did.

the 15 prior threads weren't enough topic discussion and information for you ?

Or even leave it a little longer such as 4 weeks. I can see, however, the abuse starting already. Teams waiting for the 2 or 4 weeks to elapse and then placing alts that are then rapidly progressed.

another good option.addition would be, if penalty would be "activated" if base is attacked from an different alliance, as keeping alts in main hurt a lot .. jeah this would be an good idea about 2 weeks of limitation.. as this is the time,when alt's are real boosters

This would be a good decision if it was implemented. Personally, I hate alliances stealing other alliance's kills unless they regularly traded kills. E.g. A member attacks a base but does not kill it, another alliance then takes it. In return that alliance (The one that took the base) weakens another base then lets the other alliance take it. It should only happen if the alliance is an ally to the other.
I once joined Tiberian 38 as my game exclusive alt, and in that game my alliance had an issue with a neighboring alliance. They keep on stealing kills, which is highly frowned by. Resulting them in becoming our enemies. One implementation to fix this is to register the last player and alliance that attacked each specific base. If another player attacks it and he's not part of the alliance, there's a 50% decrease in all looted resources.

The game is way better now

There is almost no solution for this, removing this system when both players are in the same alliance will not fix anything because biggest alts abuser use it inside the same alliance.
Activate it only for 2/4 weeks will not fix the problem where players can't help each other during the beginning of the server and I know that this will not stop alliances from using alts after that delay.
Only solution (that other browser games use) : two accounts can play with the same IP adress but these two accounts can't help each other, and account sharing is forbidden.

But they said that they can't do it.

But yes, it's sad to see that after few years, this patch was needed due to the increase of alts abuser...

Account sharing is already forbidden - but for another player to prove it is happening is impossible and they don't seek out that abuse.
