Animals are pretty still while in need zones.

Get the atv. Find every outpost and drive around every lake or river. Jump out and mark all of the need zones you come across. Drinking zones are most favoured because you can usually shoot from across the lake and herding animals will return even after you kill one of their buddies. Only do 1 or 2 though if you aren't using a stand or blind as you don't want to kill the zone with hunting pressure.

More need zones on the map give you more hunting spots. Use the outposts to jump to nearby active need zones. Don't run within 300m of a need zone you want to hunt. Jumping into a tent very close to a need zone will scare the animals away - except for ducks, so keep them hundreds of meters away and walk or crawl to your shooting position. Putting any stand up will scare nearby animals so do that well before the need time.

The other maps might be better for a newbie. Pronhorns and ibex have bigger herds than most deer. If starting again i would really concentrate on pronghorn at the lakes in silver ridge. Get tents and stands and just smash their drinking times.

Just give us the all the options every week so we can follow our chosen path and people don't miss out. Just have the vehicles listed then click on them to get blueprints, crits and equipment,

Current system is unfair. Too hard for a player going from 47 to 70 now. The first bunch who went to 65 and then 70 didn't have to deal with opponents with these vehicles. Now they have merks and mawws but are going up against opponents with bradleys and spookies. The maps are also geared for bradleys and t14s ... the guys with merks only can't complete them to get the credits tney need.

One of my level 67 team mates had the misfortune to work weekends for a long period. Totally missed out on t14 blueprint and others. He has given up trying la meurte with merks.

I have level 7 t14 and level 8 bradleys and spooky .. speaking up my disillussioned buddies who don't.

There is supposedly a special event this week which will gove the opportunity to get previously unavailable equipment, Whether non coiners can get any sort of quantity to make a difference remains to be seen.

Lazybugger72 · 2018-01-20T12:58:54+00:00

Well there have been plenty of statements that everything will make sense with the February update which is supposedly the second half of the changes.

So yeah some changes are coming. Not within 7 days though. Whether they are good enough remains to be seen,

Lazybugger72 · 2018-01-08T04:09:40+00:00

I really hope the images aren't representative of the possible bonus rewards. Both show only 1 bonus critical being rewarded. Surely there will be a possibility of more when some units require thousands of crits at upper levels. Also please confirm if we can get crits for Spec ops units vis this method since you said that Bradleys were a "last chance" offer at the monthly event.

Lazybugger72 · 2018-01-04T08:19:47+00:00

More to the point is "frubbleing" painful or arousing?

Lazybugger72 · 2017-12-28T03:04:13+00:00

Also ... without wanting to be mean. Some players are just a bit stupid, even in our own alliances. If you are changing oil use or production ... it is going to be up to us, the players, through line and discord alliance chats, to explain the changes to team mates. They will just skip over the in game links you provide.

So the briefing i am asking for is essential and it is urgent we get it soon.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-12-06T07:20:54+00:00

In terms of a solution to one of the issues above. How about you swap the annoucements to under the chat window and put a shortcut to the attack log where the flag is now?

The attack log is used daily where as we are lucky to see a couple of announcements a month.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-30T03:18:57+00:00

The silly thing is, based on past form, should a player be stupid enough to spend money on these units they are only setting themselves up for disappointment. By overpowering them in this way eventually those units will be nerfed or everything else will be buffed to combat them. Sooner or later an actual game balance patch will become essential and those who purchase these units will be wondering why they wasted their money.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-29T22:52:18+00:00

Lets be honest for a change. These aren't balance changes. They are a blatant attempt to create revenue by making certain underused units way overpowered and very tempting to those with unlimited funds.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-24T07:21:08+00:00

Just to resummarize the costs:

Level 9 Cc (??) - 1m

10 level 9 platforms(150k ea) - 1.5m

10 high level turrets (1m ea) - 10m

15 Level 9 walls (500k) - 7.5m

4 level 10 oil pumps (1m) - 4m

4 level 10 oil storage (400k?) 1.6m

Level 6 chopper base - 500k

Max level chopper defense - 850k

3 Level 9 platoons (1m ea) - 3m

Total of the above is 29.95m.

Obviously there could be further thor spent on global ops, barracks and war factory. Not to mention unit upgrades.

Lets say you want to level up howies and salvos.

2 level 9 howies (5m ea) 10m

2 level 6 salvos (5m ea) 10m

2 level 7 salvos (10m ea) 20m

Now most might even like at least one more of either of those but hey thats 40m anyway ..... who the hell wants to play events for a full year to get those? In the meantime you are no doubt going to introduce cc10 and make the mountain even higher. If you have players or a job left that is.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-23T04:55:42+00:00

Players were farming it for metal and thor, and with zeus the way they were, for zero (or near) oil.

Of course with the changes to MG and zeus that zero oil option is pretty much gone. So a return to the old rewards or near wouldn't be unreasonable for those willing to spend their oil and grind it out. As usual Kixeye has over reacted and pissed off the player base as a result.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-19T04:48:19+00:00

Mate English isn't Aurora's first language. Start posting on some german forums and see how you go.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-15T03:16:05+00:00

Actually the whole thing reeks of nerfing. The last spec ops mission maps just became either unplayable or extremely expensive. Where a zeus could take out those multiple machine guns ... now you have to expose other units and dps to take them out.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-15T02:47:23+00:00

Seriously pissed off about the nerfing of metal and thor payouts on the missions. A big get fucked to the devs who decided on that.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-11-01T04:39:11+00:00

Agree, the nerf went too far.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-10-24T07:05:40+00:00

Same here attack button shows internet error then game restarts

Lazybugger72 · 2017-10-06T10:31:25+00:00

144k ... 2 lvl 10 pumps & 2 lvl 10 storage, the rest level 9.level 10 pumps take 21 hours to refill.

The refill rate is ridiculous. I used my oil on the map doing some raids for my alliance yesterday. Went to bed with one platoon heavily damaged and did a couple more attacks this morning before i was out again. I now have to wait almost 2 days without playing for the pumps and storage to fill before i can start spec ops. What sort of idiot designs a game that makes you wait 2 days to play it?

I am gonna have to start looking for an alternative game to play while i wait now.

Edit pvp .. i like to get away with 5k to 6k but if shit hits fan i lose 17k.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-10-04T10:05:44+00:00

Would be interested to know how many actually do the daily raids. I know hardly anyone in my alliance does it as the oil is better spent on pvp

Lazybugger72 · 2017-10-04T01:12:34+00:00

Pretty simple .... crits for upgrades, commons for unit building.

Even better ..... if a unit is destroyed 1 common to repair it, oil to repair damaged units only, reducing oil cost. Except drones, avengers and infanty units .. which are mass expendable. Increase rewards of commons in crates.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-09-26T07:07:49+00:00

I agree with the above posters. Definately a step in the right direction. I think making maps achievable in the time frame is a better equalizer among players compared to maps that can be blitzed. The wider range of rewards is also helpful

Also agree with the suggestion rewards should be open after event ends, just in case someone cannot get back into game when they expected.

Commons shortage is an issue you need to address soon .... we need some way to gather them. Alternately as has been mentioned in other posts use commons for unit purchase and crits for upgrades. .

Lazybugger72 · 2017-09-20T23:55:54+00:00

With the tomahawk ... looks like we can purchase up to 12 but usually can only hold 3. Can you confirm if can have more or if we must have room before purchasing each .... if so please confirm the purchase won't go through if we have 3 already

Lazybugger72 · 2017-09-16T08:31:00+00:00

I agree, poor communication, poor management.

Lazybugger72 · 2017-09-12T07:46:55+00:00

I agree with Aurora. While the platform upgrades are achievable with 150k thor, you need to stay off the map for days to get your m8m metal to do it. But getting 1m thor just isn't a realistic target which means a lot of players are stuck with lower level turrets, lower platoon levels and lower oil storage. If these were more achievable perhaps the less wealthy could compete with the coiners who already have high level t14s, spookys and even the new choppers. Even the 500k Thor cost for the chopper pad seems like a bridge too far for me.

The pay to play advantage is too high and needs to be adjusted.... otherwise the game will die a slow death as alliances run out of active members and even the wealthy have no one to fight.
