if you dont want to be massed go on nox/crit. it will help delay the process. if u have enough def and spies u will prob be phased by the time they can kill it all, stop crying like some1 said go to the perg. every week some1 new is crying about being massed, all u do is ask why, if no reason mass back if they have nothing to mass lifer suicide them a lil payback then go to perg. either way it doesnt matter, or do like some people go find a big friend and have him fight your battles. other than that farm, raid, mass, grow, and kick butt
have a good game

While I am not big enough to garnish much attention, nor are my stats too impressive, I still wonder why it's so easy to mass with little fear of repercussions.
Everyone says, "build a bigger def, build up MS and strike and mass back".
If your nemesis has an enormous strike or a hulked up MS and virtually no def, what's the point of massing back? There is the option of sabotage, but that only takes you so far and the MS investment, as we all know, can be quite huge. That is just a time and income irritant. I guess if you already got the MS situated, the only thing to worry about is another and bigger MS. Well in top rankings for an MS there again is little to worry about.

Sure you have NOX/Crit to make the massing drawn out (and really annoying) but there is little you can do about it if/when it happens.

I don't think the "how" part of massing should be changed. It's ok in that respect. The why is fine also. Boredom, war or just for the forum laughs suits me fine. I just think some of the game mechanics need some alterations when you deal with individuals that have nothing worth hitting. There needs to be involved risk or possible repercussions.

It just seems like the auto-answer all of the time is "build it bigger" when that obviously, does little for you.

"The best defense is a good offense" still has merit, but the mantra now is "the best defense is no defense" :shock:

yeah you all have made me change my mind on what i think to massing. I am going to now have more fun massing others. I will need to change my name to something else like MassTears.

I just wish it was easier to kill someones attack supers. I think once a player has 0 defense they should be able to attack Super soldiers directly :p Would give people more of a chance to mass back if the masser had little or no defense.

Getting massed and not being able to retaliate = a pointless game.

Here's my suggestion,

How about if you mass someone, your offensive units are "open" to be attacked and killed for X amount of time and just for fun, how about killing offensive units gives a ton of ME? Would make wars slightly more enjoyable and players would be able to retaliate if they act before X amount of time.

I hate it when you get massed by someone with 0 defence and covert so I also like the idea of the X-X ratio for Offence and Defence.
