BETA UPDATES 2010

[Iƒrit]

I see the houses, being controlled by a handful of powers in the game with a 'stay out or be sat on policy' soon after its inception. Which will dictate the stat bonuses to a select few leaving the rest in the dust even more so. That has been my opinion since I first heard about this update and I'm going to hold onto it until I am proven otherwise, I think its a great idea but with the current politics the game has it is going to cause alot of issues.

And if not forcing them out with cohersion it will be by power alone when controlling the votes

Probably the biggest un fixed problem that has been mention a quadzillion times is stopping snipers, i.e, during our SU war i had an online battle with someone but they had no defence and so the only thing i could do was sab, which took about 10-20 seconds before he was covert phased, and so i just sat there repairing and boring myself to death. All i want to see is something to stop them. Even if it has to be, you need to match your attack with defence power up to 400 bill then 2/3 of your attack thereafter, or something like that. But there would need to be a way of stopping them untraining it
But i mean it cant be that hard to think of something little to stop them.

Tis true. Do something about the snipers.

This thread is kind of pointless now, if Admin does indeed read it, he hasnt posted in weeks to let us know, and i highly doubt he will fix or change anything that has been brought up, he just presses ahead with what "he" thinks is a good idea and thats that.

Think about it, did the community ask for these houses that will really push the game into unbalanced mode, i think not,

Have the community been begging for him to fix numerous bugs and exploits, that have been ignored time and time again, yes we have, are they being addressed in this update, i think not.

[MaxSterling]

At the very least, any changes he made to his recent Beta updates should at least be listed on the update page of the Beta server.

I really love how he's been canceling a good percentage of his recent admin meetings... and yet made an announcement about some changes being pushed soon.

[stuff of legends]

maybe he has been playing to much WoW, maybe we should just spam the hell out of urgent email addy with the same idea.

My Beta Covert and Anti-Covert Levels:
Upgrade Spy Skill
Current Intelligence Skill Upgrade
Level 37
Upgrade Anti-Spy Skill
Current Counter-Intelligence Skill Upgrade
Level 36


My Beta Covert and Anti-Covert Action:

Military Effectiveness

Covert Action 694,003,067,377 +
AntiCovert Action 981,468,136,000 Ranked 902


Unit Counts on Beta are the same for both types.


Is this normal on Main?

(As my Main Covert Level is significantly above my AC Level,
and I can't be bothered to spend the naq boosting my Main AC Level just to answer this...)

[Sarevok]

AC level gets a +2 to it's level for calculation

[BenjaminMS]

Yep, has been for years that AC net level = (C level + 2)

thanks...

so how is this update suppose to help everyone, honestly I see it being controlled by the most powerfull empire(s) in game, if not with sheer numbers then by cohersion, with a simular "no hit" policy used. So the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker? cause the already strong players in game need more stats and less losses

Of course they do. Bigger power gap the better.
I would personally like to see adjustment, as opposed to out right bonus. Like you get a +10% attack, but a -5% defence, and -5% covert or something similar.

I haven't had the chance to read the entire thread but what is meant to happen when the house of faith attacks the house of science? Or if I've got the names wrong the house of No Ascended Blessings attacks the House of Increased Ascended Blessing chance.

I'm sorry if this has been answered already.

[Sarevok]

My money is on the house of faith not getting their AB.

Perhaps should be tested... I would, but my alliance was kicked from faith

[Rottenking]

im wondering how the first few weeks will be. And the big fight over who gets what house's starts
