The Next Step for Project

The Next Step

Hello everybody!

Project is going to evolve. After achieving our own goals, its time to give something back.

Almost 2 years ago Project was founded out of various alliances to win the next WCS.
Learning from the past we knew we had no chance to win against the daunting German dominance that was Schaffa in this game if we did not drastically change things.

Having a bunch of allied groups was not good enough. The international field had more competitive players, but they were scattered across many teams. Seeing big potential in having a strong organisational framework and a united group we set out to gather enough strong players to beat Schaffa.

As you all know, plans are good, but reality often differs. We hoped for a WCS at the end of 2020 already. That did not come. Instead we met Schaffa on Tib 49 and beat them so well, that they never played a server together again. It has to be said though that Schaffa did not start with their full WCS team on 49.

By the time the WCS was announced we were playing Tib 53 and it was boring. No competition and voices of Project being bad for the game got louder. Sure, some people who are not happy to lose, but we could also not ignore it all the way.

Schaffa announced they would not start on the WCS 2021. We were still hoping it may be a trick to make us approach the WCS less careful, but it was not. Other groups started, but competition dwindled down quickly and even at the beginning not just Alpha but all Project alliances were outdigging our opponents.

Sure it is nice to win, but it is so much sweeter when you win after several weeks of PVP against a very strong opponent. Many of us miss the worlds where you had to fight and play hard to win.

So what comes next?
"We won the WCS, awesome - lets jump on the next server and continue our winning streak!" - would be one way to do it.
But that way is no fun for too many. Both for us and especially for others out there. Non-morale Forgotten Attacks is the favourite game mode for most players of this game. And if you believe some voices, we managed to empty these server almost completely, because nobody wants to play against us.
That is a problem. Not just for us, but also for the game itself.

👉 We will stop playing as Project... 👈
... until the next WCS is announced or a team out there challenges us.

Our main goal was to win the WCS. Mission accomplished.

After playing multiple servers in parallel for the better part of a year a lot of us are burned out.

So we decided to let Project rest and stand at the pinnacle of its success and encourage all our players to:
Revive the old alliances or form new ones
Lets play some challenging servers again with intense PVP!

All Project players are welcome here at all times, but its not an exclusive club. You can be a Project player and start something new on the next world.

Discord Server Changes
The server was meant as an internal communication platform for our group. But over the years it grew much further. We have over 700 members on the server and more players in the member section who used to play with us than actively play in our teams.

That is no problem at all, but we decided to open up the server. The public section only exists of an info channel, a public chat that is mostly dead and a memes channel.
But we have much more to offer and we think the game becomes a better place if we share some of that with the rest.

Over the next days we will restructure the channels and turn our Discord server into a CNCTA Community Server

We will share our knowledge base, guides and scripts and move more conversations to the public area. Lets make the server to a place where you can talk about CNCTA, learn how to become better at the game and find new players to play with.

Lets make this game worth playing for many more servers to come!

Project Command

I want to forward the invitation to our Discord server.
Depending on activity and need, we will introduce server specific channels.

Congratulations to Project for winning. I implore all of you to refrain from personal attacks on each other as that isn't conducive to good order in any forum.

As already stated, if you wish, join Discord and learn. If you don't wish to then that is your choice, but don't moan about those that do.

The entire community already knows that if you want to play ina server long enough to learn and grow, you have to be apart of project alliances or else you will be swiftly bounced from the server as soon as they have the size advantage to wipe you out of it. most people that still play this game know most of the tricks and the key to fast progress, they just may not have all the scripts and support that come along with being project members.

You may not like 'Project' but now is the time to at least get some of the scripts that being part of Project gives access to. Support will be available if required and requested, so we're told.

ive never used scripts in this game, i didnt even use the sim until it was built in and believe me flunik tried to get me to use it. i never liked anyone that plays this game to win because it brings out the absolute worst qualities in people. spies only degrade the player base and they arent actually spies they are just rats and thats projects whole game. the only reason they have al these scripts and tricks that work is because of the failure of development to keep the meta fresh and changing.

Guys, I think you didn't read Bruel's message correctly, Project will sleep for now, there are already two different alliances that have been born or reborn from Project members. Why do you keep thinking that Project will live on?
Bruel spoke on behalf of the entire leadership of Project and it is a shared decision, there will be no one trying to continue with that roster. If and when that happens, certainly not in a short period of time, Bruel himself will tell everyone.
There is nothing secret or strange about it, we simply want other alliances to play to win and not simply have players line up to get their badges.
That's all.

dont let these project people fool you, they will certainly be cooperating in every server they play together even during pvp against each other and continue to dole out badges in the order they choose before the servers a week old. but who knows maybe these new big badges will satiate their thirst for winning but ill wager absolutely nothing will change in this game it hasnt yet and by the time the next server is said and done it will still be the same way with the same people in the same alliances just maybe not the same names next time. w28 isnt different even though theres no project names. none of those players will give up easy wins just to let people like iggy, pete and whoever else win a server for once.

I realise that continuing to talk is a waste of time, but the question is: do you want any of us to continue playing?
In order to make the servers competitive we've decided to stop playing together for now. If you want us to stop playing this is impossible, we love this game and want everyone to have their chance.

if you are asking me if i want any of you to stop playing the answer from me is absolutely not, i just want to see what a server would be like without you same people controlling the outcome of every single server for the last how many years now? thats why originally the first people to 'whine' in these forum were only asking for more servers to start simultaneously. id be happy playing a server where the top alliance did not contain the same people as always, where the same large groups always dominate immediately and stale out the server. you guys will obviously start the next FA server and it wont matter to me what names you call yourselves and cooperation will automatically be assumed despite any efforts to convince me otherwise simply because ive seen enough to know what to expect from most of you. i wont even start it i know everyone in this game knows each other and is on discord together and im not interested at all in participating in that type of community that has been the sole contributing factor to the game dying in FA servers and a flop wcs. i cant join any teams anymore they all contain at least one of you pretending to be spies when really your just hurting and destroying any teams chance to form except your own and thats why your is the only one present in how many servers now? im not throwing shade im stating facts, you did what you had to do to win. sometimes it gets ugly. i see everything in this game for what it clearly is and im still waiting for a change holding on to hope.

Project’s decision to retire was based on a few factors. One of which is what you all said, it killed competion—it did this by bringing in the teams who once fought each other.

Before project, the teams who fought against each other in servers were led by CiCs and officers who eventually joined project, some of which commanded project. The Coliation in WCS 2019 was the precursor to this.

What will eventually happen now that project is done is these CiCs/SiCs will start their own teams and are currently recruiting.

There will be some competition just as it was pre-project times even if that meant project members fighting each other. Whether the non-project teams or the community believes this or not, these are the facts.

The way I see it there will be some competition just as it was pre-project times even if that meant project members fighting each other. Whether the non-project teams or the community believes this or not, these are the facts.

never been a pre project time, before project there was projekt schaffa mara half of the wcs team would flip flop either way depending on who will win and even if you all fight each other in the middle at anywhere near even strength i doubt we will see the same sort of server denial of the enemy so often and so rapidly that it all but empties the server after a few fort hits, especially now that you are quite aware of the long term side effects your 'winning' strategy. you will no doubt still be falling in line for easy fort hits and the larger guys staying behind to help these new teams formed between you all kill the fort as it gets ever larger. this project idea is as old as the first server and ive been seeing you 'top' players jump from ship to ship to make the biggest load on the boat possible having a nice easy row to the center while you tow your best interests behind you in puppet dingy alliances half full of alts and completely unaware noobs. i know whats going on here, your starting some new self marketing campaign to get people to like project again when it was only a small few of us that ever said anything about not liking the idea and causation behind it. i want to believe you guys so have a good game for once, thin your herds and challenge yourselves.

Best cheaters of the game come always first.

The only good thing for the comunity is to able to learn something new, to grow, to share ideas.

Game addiction creates monstrous situations.

Maybe it is time to move on.

Peace.
