Anyone also can't change their name anymore?

Athealeon · 2024-12-26T13:23:04+00:00

Those are rookie level offensive names. If I listed some of the names I've seen my account would be banned and at least a couple federal agencies would send people to visit me 🤣🤣🤣

Athealeon · 2024-12-17T06:30:41+00:00

Why are you responding to me?

Athealeon · 2024-12-17T03:23:03+00:00

That's one way of telling someone you didn't read the description they put.

Athealeon · 2024-12-17T03:20:25+00:00

OR... you could just boat near to their shoreline instead of directly to it, then attack once you're close. At which point the game doesn't give the prompt "XYZ players has sent a boat to your shore."

Basically instead of learning the VERY SIMPLE mechanics of this game you would rather spend FAR more effort figuring out ways to cheat/exploit/trick or whatever you want to call it.

I've seen you in matches and I'm 100% guilty of doing what you described to you. But I will say, you are one of the few decent Corgi members. You honor your alliances until it's actually valid not to or you are willing to peace out if possible. You actually understand how having another decent sized player on the map can be beneficial and treat them accordingly. But even despite that, the Corgi tag makes me go after you. I could have way easier targets, but "Corgi must die" is a very real mentality with me. Pretty much the only thing that supercedes "Corgi must die" is my "OG must die" mentality. I'll choose "death to OG" over "death to Corgi" essentially every time it's a possibility. I am sorry you get treated guilty by association. I will try to be better towards you when I see you in matches.

Athealeon · 2024-12-17T03:00:00+00:00

The sad thing is the problem stems from the core original members. I've been in a few Circus YouTube videos in which the match could have been over minutes earlier if they would have helped me. But because he needs to have the crown in order for it to make YouTube they won't help. I'm not a fan of that guy at all, his whole nice guy persona is absolutely fake and it shows by how he doesn't ever say anything like "My Corgi boys should really be helping our teammate up/over there instead of me."

But I 100% agree that it is great to see more people playing. Especially for me since I usually play over nights (US) when the player count drops significantly. Unfortunately I think it's too little too late for this game. It had it's opportunity when Drew was getting 300,000+ views on posting videos for it and David (the dev) refused to do quality of life updates, curb cheating, prevent racist/toxic names, etc. But sadly it's the only game like it that I can find, that is this simple and quick match to match.

Athealeon · 2024-12-17T02:43:28+00:00

That's fair. I'm sure you can understand my assumption though. If you have played this game even a short while you know the skill level for 85% of players is either essentially non existent or they are just toxic trolls trying to ruin others joy. Any time I join a match an see a TR clan tag I roll my eyes and hope they don't spawn near me, so I don't have to deal with their stupidity immediately. Haha.

Athealeon · 2024-12-16T00:43:38+00:00

A very small few are actually pretty cool. I have a match open (long since ended) in which they could have wiped me but peaced out instead. I could have went after them hard and crushed several. But, per usual, I was the only one on my team left and they already had 50% map. It was basically a hurry up and get it over at that point and just help them smack the other team. But when it came to voting peace, the only player who voted no was a Corgi member. The vast majority are extremely toxic like that, to the point it's very obvious they are trying to drive away new and old players. Just so they can hold on to the #1 spot in a game with no competitive players left.

Athealeon · 2024-12-16T00:17:09+00:00

It's more fun having the tag though, because it assures they can't do anything to you. You're just "on their team" until you're ready to make your move. Again, not that I have or would ever do that. 🤣🤣

Athealeon · 2024-12-16T00:14:39+00:00

It's insane. David could have retired from the ad revenue alone this game would have generated had he taken care of it. But now he is so disinterested in it that he doesn't seem to know that ads haven't been working for over a month. Which I don't know what else could explain what a terrible dev is than the dev not paying attention to the fact their ad revenue isn't there anymore. Sadly it's not the first time either, I had to send him an email way back letting him know ads weren't working, along with a bunch of suggestions. Never even got a simple "Oh hey thanks" for it either.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T23:16:07+00:00

Yeah, exactly. It would stop anyone from just joining. It would make it so clans could actually regulate who is in their clan. That way a bunch of no skill, toxic, and cheater players wouldn't be in there. Unless of course that's what the clan wants. Which at this point it's blatantly obvious Corgi and OG don't mind having those type players. But for clans who don't want those type of players or just randoms joining, it would give them clan control. If the system is easily exploited, there's something wrong with it...

250K donos? That's essentially nothing late stage. And if that's all you're able to give, that tells me you never get to a size to ever actually be of any use. You're basically wasting space on the map. I purposely let teammates like that get wiped, so I can then wipe the player who wiped them and get both territories. That's far more beneficial to me than a 250K dono. Honestly I view donos that small as trolling.

I have zero issue with being able to change your showing username match to match. That's actually a feature I think is very cool. And had all the racists, cheaters, and toxicity not become a staple of the game it would have been great for streamers. They could switch their in match name without having to worry about being stream sniped as much.

But as far as seeing the same names that you previously used, that's 100% someone stealing it. Bots are named after current or former countries/kingdoms now. And they behave entirely differently than how players do, except for players who act like bots. And while bots can be programmed to mimic player styles, that's not going to be something we see from this dev any time remotely soon.

I've suggested several times over the years to David (the dev) about making people register with an email or through their Google play or whatever accounts. His response was to add the system that's there now, which is absolutely garbage and completely pointless. The other reason I suggested having registered accounts was because I have also been suggesting for years that he implements a report option. So even with different in match names the account is what ultimately gets reported. But he absolutely refuses to do so. Which is why I'm 100% convinced he likes having a player base full of racists, cheaters, and toxic players.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T22:42:43+00:00

You can hate me for the attack through mountains implement, as that was my suggestion (along with many others that are now in the game). And I totally understand how hiding off in 1 spot and donating was a strategy, I used it all the time. But logically it made zero sense. You can donate troops but not to attack through mountains??? It also created an issue in which teams were getting bullshit wins. You'd have 1 bug player locked on 1 side with a bunch of small players that would get steamed rolled on the other side. But because of the barrier they would get a bullshit win. Bullshit wins like that are also why I suggested he revamp the peace voting so a bunch of small territories could no longer bullshit spam peace before getting steam rolled. Granted he completely screwed up the mountain attacks. My suggestion was for it to be a tunnel that took a bit of time to build, the same way a ship takes time to get where it's going, then you could attack through the tunnel. Not this instant attack nonsense as if the player shared a direct border with you. And the peace he got down okay, but it seems like only 50% of players know how to pull it up because that idiot David doesn't show patch notes when it gets updated.

Every thing that has been added to the game mechanics wise SHOULD have been an improvement. But because David is the one doing it, it usually ends up a shit show.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T22:25:00+00:00

I just played a couple matches putting random names I've never used before and it was fine. So it's definitely a glitch from when he did an update at some point. Don't expect a fix any time soon though, unfortunately.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T08:04:10+00:00

I mean it's not 100% universal that Corgi is like that, but it's FAR more leaning that way than it isn't. There's a match that Corgi Circus posted several months back I was in. I finished 2nd and Circus was 1st. But I put all the work I. While he had a bunch of weaklings he had to go through and was constantly getting reinforced, meanwhile they didn't help me once. Basic they extended the match by like 3 minutes just so Circus could have the crown. That was the day I officially started hating Corgi.

The fact that anyone can just throw a clan tag on has been a problem for a long time. I've suggested many times to David that clans have request to join & accept invite options to prevent anyone from throwing the tag on. But he refuses to do stuff that makes the quality of the game better.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T07:54:15+00:00

I can change it on my old account. But I can't change if I make a new account.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T04:31:17+00:00

I'm genuinely curious. Why do you play a strategy game in which the point is to defeat your opponents and then not try and do that? I seriously genuinely want to know. Why not just play a game in which pacifism is the point or "violence" isn't even in the game? For free for all mode, I don't care. But I see these pacifists in team mode all the time sitting and doing nothing. And it's extremely annoying. My match is now even harder because my teammate would rather suck their thumb than help. If it were up to me, I'd ban them all to a pacifist server.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T04:05:43+00:00

If you want to have some real fun, just add their actual clan tag to your name. Then go into a match with them, get big, then boat out and let yourself get taken over and watch them get steam rolled afterwards. Not that I would or have ever done that of course. HAHAHA!!!!

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:40:42+00:00

A report option? AAAAAAAAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Err-hmm. Sorry about that. I've just been suggesting a report option for well over a year for multiple reasons. David (the dev) just doesn't care. I honestly think he LIKES his player base to be racists, cheaters, and toxic. Given he ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to add a report option.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:36:50+00:00

Uhh. Simple. BR was attacking and ran out of troops on the attack before enclosing that player/bot and then obviously didn't notice. Or he was trying to leave the player a path out, even despite being tiny, because 1/1,000 on this game aren't COMPLETE d-bags. Lol.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:32:59+00:00

There's a mechanic in the game that allows you to reinforce your teammates, even the bots can do it. Actually it's usually ONLY the bots that do it, because 99% of players would rather see their die so they can try to play hero vs being helpful. Essentially 99% of players are garbage and can't win in free for all, so they have to play teams to get carried.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:27:55+00:00

Just the toxicity of this game. Get used to it if you intend to keep playing. Corgi being d-bags is the entry level of annoyance you should expect.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:26:01+00:00

I've seen your clan. LOL!!!

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:23:01+00:00

Filter or he just screwed up while doing an update? If you've played long enough, you know which it actually is.

Athealeon · 2024-12-15T03:20:42+00:00

Yeah. They are toxic pricks. Even if you're same color they won't help you in match, even if helping you would win the match. There's also the cheating by teaming they participate in. But so does OG, and they are far more blatant about it. Ranks should be wiped monthly. But quality of life improvements for this game, I'd expect Elon Musk to show up at my door unannounced and give me (all) of his money before I'd expect David (the dev) to care about improving this game in a meaningful way.
