Reduce malus on world Tiberian 42

if malus is reduced im uninstalling.

Hahaha! Laughable! Ya'll don't even know how the alts are being used-- ya'll just assumed they are being use for prehitting. Why don't you have Envision look into these alts and see if we are using them for prehitting or abusing them like you said, then you'll find out that you're the joke. You're a joke because you are losing against an alt LMAO--hence some of our alts have higher ranking than you. I seriously am asking Envision to look into our alts and see how they are used. Actually, I authorize them and i'll even hand my keys to one of the devs to see if i'm abusing my alt.

Anyway, back to the point, Alkalyne and his friends play Malus or Morale worlds, we don't. When he and his team told us, this is not normal, we can only agree. SO don't try to attack the guy by saying all this false crap you guys are claiming. I just heard the same thing happened in Tib40 but ya'll didn't say shit like this.

Surprised to see you complaining like this Alkalyne. The rules were made before the world started. I rather enjoy it. Alts don't have a free reign to dig well beyond reasonable means and as farming accelerates offense growth does as well, therefore malus reduction. Patience is a virtue.

The alliance you've sided with, TtD, is known for abusing the alt system worse than any other in the game by a mile. This post falls in line with that directly because malus stone walls alts and I hate to see you put yourself in the middle of that argument as a competent player.

Wow, Hi-Way! I thought we were friends? :-(

You're accusing us of abusing alts? Hmmm, look to your own team for that.

Actually prior to joining TTD, Alkalyne thought the same thing about us-- but after joining us, he saw how we use alts (and not to what you all claim). i'm not going to lie, yes there were a few players who joined us along the way that did have more than 1 and did use them for those reasons you claim but your accusations now are misplaced--abusing 10-15 alts per user. LOL that is just absurd. Anyway, we use alts just like how many uses them (hence to have the other faction kill OPs/bases our main can't). Many alliances do the same thing--shit Koegy himself does this in many server. I ain't going to hide the fact that i myself use one until i get the cobras and/or until it is completely useless to me but some of us do keep them to have an alternative faction because they help on harder bases-- but not to do prehitting like you guys keep making up. Heck, like said, i authorize the devs to look into my alt and they'll see that it does its own farming independent of my main.

So stop with the hate.


P.S. I see now that you people acccusing us of multi-accounting have sent all your alts to us in South sector. What a bunch of hypocrytes lol.

To all those asking for a change mid-game, this does not happen. They tweak settings between worlds but very, very rarely do they change anything mid-game. (I say it this way because someone will point out that on Tib XX they changed something!).

To those asking for it to remain unchanged, it very, very likely that this will be the case - see comment in paragraph above.

GameDruid said it perfect. This is how the game was set up before world started, keep it that way. Players will adjust their strategy as needed and maybe adjust which types of servers they decide to play in the future. Maybe even EA will adjust their settings... but between worlds, not in the middle of one.

Well, I'm not playing t42 active so I haven't noticed anything about to low or to high malus.
But looking to the world's set ups both, t40 and t42 are equal ... so they should also have the same malus setting.
On t40 the malus was not playable when the world started and was changed a few days later to a good playable value. So my thinking is that t42 should have the same.

As said, only thinking loud ... I haven't checked the malus cause I'm not playing there.

We know exactly how you're using them since your own players have big mouths -- to "prehit" bases and feed the resources to mains, to dig out all the hard bases so your mains can focus on growing, and to kill tough Outposts to get easy ones to spawn. All of these things make a mockery of the way the game is supposed to be played, especially when you take it to such extreme levels with the sheer number of alts you're using. You rely on crutches to get big instead of playing the game straight-up.

EA has been clear that this kind of gameplay is an extreme form of exploitation, and they have made patches specifically to try to prevent your alliance from using it. Remember Patch 19.1? That was because of TTD. That fact that you guys are pretending you only want malus reduced so the world 'goes faster' and there's less farming is disingenuous and embarrassing.

Also, the fact that you're getting so defensive and upset proves your critics' point. No one hates you, we simply view the way you play with derision.

Dude, there's so many wrong things about this response. But that is expected from a hypocrite. As they said, ignorance is bliss. So from here, your new name is Bliss.

My comments on your first paragraph-- yes, we are using them to kill harder bases and/or OPs that otherwise we won't use 4-5 runs from our main to do so. No, we don't have 10-15 alts each player, we have 1 each and some of us don't have any. The one we have is the opposite faction of our main (GDI) so it helps kill OPs/bases that NOD can't kill otherwise. And no i don't prehit, i just don't have time to maintain a second account anymore. However, you accuse all of us with prehitting yet some of our alts are in top 150--how could that be when they fixed that in 19.1? Also, nowhere in rulebook does Envision/EA prohibits this. This is why so many does the same thing. But instead you want to crucify us for it because what? We are using them better? Everyone can use alts and many does.

Paragraph #2--Patch 19.1 wasn't introduce because of TTD, it was introduce because of Tib37; hence to combat prehitting that everyone did (including Koegy himself) in that server, not just TTD. But because of Schaffa who made everyone believe it was just TTD and now that stigma follows us and everyone thinks we can't be in top without alts. This is one of the reason why one of our core players played with Schaffa in Tib41 and became the #2 guy without alt just to shut up those critics. The other reason why we can win without the exploits ya'll claim is Wrath24. Again, case in point, we prefer to use an alt because it makes it easier--a feature (not exploit to us) that is made available to everyone.

Paragraph #3--What a cliche! Expected from you Bliss. And what is your real account anyway, I see you now in our sector trying to do pvp. I know that JCXer ain't your real account? Talk about alt abuse :-)

Bunch of hypocrites.

That said, going back to the original post. I don't care whether the malus stay the same or not. We didn't talk Alka into this. It was his friends who brought it to us saying Tib40 was the same. I am just perplexed myself that ya'll who voted to change it in Tib40 are now saying don't change it here in Tib42 because of TTD. that is a joke. LOL

Based on what I see reading through the thread, it's less about the request itself and more about who's asking and why. You guys aren't being honest about why you want the malus reduced, and other players have seen through the farce. You gave yourselves an advantage using a well-known exploit, and that exploit doesn't work as effectively with malus. So you want to lower it. It's as simple as that.

I remember the thread from Tiberian 40. All the top teams on that server posted in the forum asking EA to reduce it, not only the leading alliance. There was a consensus that everyone would benefit, instead of one team benefiting more than others, since no alliance was using multis on that world.

.

Another Bliss.

I’ll address you and I’ll be honest, we don’t want to farm for 12 months just to finish this world but since y’all made up all this nonsense, so be it.

This is blown out of proportion.

We don’t care if it’s change or not, we are top in the server as is. With two teams made up of 1/3 alts. Shit, you want to increase it, go ahead for all I care. all your bullshit accusations are false because you are losing to alts. we are using alts as a second account and not to what you claim It to be.

I hate GDI but being able to maintain a GDI account better than 2/3 of the server while playing it only 1-2x a week is proof enough of your skills.

I use to crucify the devs for shit they do BUT now I come to somewhat respect em because they have to deal with the likes of you. ?

6 lvl

I agree and vote for +6 as well. Worlds like this should encourage players to spend their time and funds and not bore and demotivate them so they abandon the server. This should be in EAs interest!

This is so sad and laughable. Cherry Hunters (Duracell and sentierosso’s alliance) is on Tib 42 with 4 teams with only 25 real players in each alliance. The rest are alts. They’ve been using extreme multi-accounting to try to get a lead over all the other alliances that aren’t using these cheap exploits. Their top guys are only big because they’re using 10-15 alts to feed their main.

High malus helps reduce the effectiveness of alt accounts. If anything, the malus on Tib 42 needs to be HIGHER, not lower.

Agree 100% - Leave it be, everything is working fine..
