Boosting One's Depleted Covert...

So now that we have paid the price for asking Admin Jason to stop endlessly boosting stats,

and since we have all seen our covert powers decrease by 5x, or 500%,

I am curious how my fellow players have responded to this most interesting development...

1) Have you done nothing about it, after all,
everyone suffered the same percentage point drop?


2-->> ...or perhaps, either not realizing or not caring that everyone was similarly affected,

2A) Have you raised your... covert level?


2B) Have you raised your... spy count by a significant amount?
-- especially since your defense is more difficult to mass...


2C) Have you raised your... covert planet count, against the limit of 10 planets?

2D) Have you raised your... covert planet bonuses, ie, the quality of your covert planets?

or perhaps...


3) Or, have you raised your... other stats, beyond the boosts that Admin Jason gave to them... as an easier, cheaper, or simply better way toward achieving your goals?





Personally, I have upped my spy count by about 500k spies, or a bit over 25% of my original spy count... which wasn't much to begin with... 8)

If it affected everyone else, there's no change. So there's no need to change.

Re: Boosting One's Depleted Covert...

yes, but miss my big covert action numbers... :P

though I won't raise my spy count or other covert related stuff nearly that high,

as I don't intend to build the other stats to protect 5x the spy count... :lol:

Re: Boosting One's Depleted Covert...

I did nothing, as said before, it changed for everybody, so basically all the covert is unchanged, just smaller stats,

I don`t understand why Jason would bother reducing it like that, it makes no difference.

also helps with the effects of ACing...
even though it is more difficult to do the initial massing... :)

**EDIT... oops... I did not realize that AC stats were also affected...

:lol:

I've been reading about the updates for quite a while...

So as I said before, I knew all the details about how this would affect everyone equally... ](*,)

1) I miss my bigger numbers... said that before too...

2) I wondered if other people,
who perhaps didn't know nearly as much about the updates had impulsively gone out and bought another covert level,

especially as not everyone has Covert Level 30+...

or trained a couple million new spies,

then found out about the update later on,
and decided to leave their covert OR their anti-covert boosted... :)

Re: Boosting One's Depleted Covert...

Don't you think its a little too soon for doing anything from what you stated up there in the poll? I mean ppl don't have 100T lying around for a covert 35, or 50T to throw into planets.... well maybe some do :P

Anyway, i think there will be a change in the covert section seen soon enough, just not yet :P

As Easy^ said above, only very few can afford the 50, 100, 200 Trill price tags on the higher covert levels, this gives them a clear advantage, and take a look where most of those players are...... of wait you cant, cause you can see their stats without putting your whole army into easy to kill spies :roll:

Yet another elitist update that benefits the the accounts that were already the strongest in game and reduces the power of the smaller players. Makes you wonder where Admin get these stupid idea's ](*,)
