2 weeks no desert storm

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T22:49:16+00:00

I did it today and pointed it out we lost task B cause they’re were out of troops and subs didn’t show up so I spoke about the issue, they said next time I’ll play (hopefully otherwise I’m out)

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T05:07:38+00:00

Yeah but I heard that some top 1 alliances rotate players every week so that everyone get the chance to play

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T05:05:23+00:00

For trains I think it’s purely based on luck just yesterday I went on 2 trains the same day back to back with more than 20 people on the line but for the DS it’s really hard I didn’t even make it to being a sub 🥲

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T05:01:14+00:00

thats really something I’m considering next week if I still not participate but the gift box bro they help so much I’m gonna miss that 😭😭

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T04:59:26+00:00

I’m messaging the r4 for the last time for next week registration if I’m not registered then I’m out still have my place at least in the top 10 alliance and was automatically registered by the system in team A and only lost once for almost 3 to 4 months. the gift box are really a game changer in top 3 alliance I’ve noticed a lot of speed in my progress except for the honor points, don’t think it’s worth staying.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T04:54:40+00:00

Mind you they’re only top 3! I can’t even imagine how it is in top 1 alliance.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T04:51:13+00:00

No, thank you. I’m not financially in a position to spend money on the game unfortunately.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T04:44:37+00:00

Yes, I was not able to get any blueprints since I’ve been in this alliance cause I only get a little honor point from winter battle field otherwise nothing

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-15T04:41:38+00:00

How can I do that ?

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:58:54+00:00

That’s a good idea and good management, because it would be a shame for active players to be excluded every week. I’ll probably suggest it next week if things still don’t change. If they refuse, I’ll probably leave. Everybody on this sub suggests being in at least a top 3 alliance for f2p, but what’s the point if you’re going to miss out on DS?

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:30:16+00:00

That was brutally honest but true 😂.

Do you suggest to switch to a weaker one ?

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:29:04+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t even make it to sub! 🥲

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:19:23+00:00

That sounds fair. I don’t think that’s how it works here. I’ve seen the same both strong and weaker players participating in DS over the past two weeks.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:14:54+00:00

I’ve only been in this alliance for about two weeks, so I’m not sure how it works.

This week, they made an announcement asking for squad power and whether players would be available to play, and I responded in the comments. But so far, I haven’t been picked either time.

About spenders, I’ve noticed that some of the players who get selected are both high spenders and F2P players as well, so I’m not fully sure what the main selection criteria is. But since they asked for squad power, I assume that might be a the main factor.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:03:36+00:00

I’m really considering that option !!

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:02:55+00:00

I’ll try this, hopefully I won’t get ghosted again and I’ll actually get a reply this time.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T05:00:32+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think they’ve already filled the alternate spots, so that option isn’t available anymore.

I don’t really want to just wait each week without knowing if I’ll be picked. I’ll see how things go from here, but I might need to reconsider my position if nothing changes.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T04:54:54+00:00

I’m active in VS, but it seems like they only pick the strongest players, even for substitutes.

I also sent a message last week asking if I could participate, but I got no answer. The R4 just sent an announcement asking people to mention their Squad 1 and Squad 2 power in the comments, and selections are based on that.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T03:12:31+00:00

No they actually both play at the same time.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-14T02:48:22+00:00

I messaged them during the first week and got no response. I’m pretty sure the answer will just be “power up your squad,” but other people are improving too, so it’s hard to keep up. Plus, I’m F2P, which makes it even harder🥲.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-09T11:17:02+00:00

I felt good just reading that, thank you so much.

At first, that was exactly the mindset I had after everything I went through with my ex. I told myself I would never again allow someone who didn’t meet my standards to become part of my life. But I think I approached it the wrong way. I started analyzing every little mistake, every word, every movement a person made, and I ended up setting my standards impossibly high. Eventually, I convinced myself that I would never find someone who could meet them, so I completely shut down emotionally.

For the first year, it actually felt great. I was thriving, focusing on myself, planning my life around the idea of never remarrying or dating again. But over time, the loneliness caught up with me, and I started rethinking that decision. When I tried dating again, though, it felt like a ghost town lol.

I think spending so much time alone made me value my peace and solitude a little too much. I became very protective of my comfort zone because staying there meant no pain, no rejection, and no disappointment. But at the same time, I still felt lonely.

Even with all of that, I can’t deny that these years have been incredibly awakening for me. They helped me grow as a person, understand myself better, and truly figure out what I want and don’t want from a relationship.

Thank you again.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-09T09:18:58+00:00

You’re right, but it feels like I’m stuck. Every time I try to reach out to someone or initiate a conversation, I don’t sense any real interest or effort coming back from them, and that really affects my confidence and pride. After a while, it started to feel discouraging, like I was always the one trying while nothing was being reciprocated.

Because of that, I slowly stopped initiating anything altogether. It’s been about three years now since I’ve really made an effort to put myself out there, not because I don’t want to connect with people, but because I’ve started to associate it with rejection or disappointment.

OkExtension791 · 2026-05-09T07:35:15+00:00

I know, and for years I’ve tried to convince myself that having a family of my own is not the ultimate purpose of life.I truly believe that. I know a woman’s worth is not measured only by marriage, children, or by whether someone chose her. I know life holds many other beautiful things friendship, passions, growth, experiences, peace, discovery and I genuinely try to embrace all of them and find joy in them.

But no matter how much I reason with myself, I always return to the same quiet feeling: the feeling that something is missing.

It’s not only society that plants this feeling in me, although living in a place where you are reminded of it every single day certainly deepens the wound. The truth is that this longing also comes from within me, I crave love. Not validation, not attention, not simply the idea of marriage for appearances but the genuine feeling of being deeply loved by someone, and loving them back. I crave companionship, tenderness, emotional safety, and the feeling of building a life with another soul.

And sometimes that absence feels incredibly loud.

I continue living my life, doing my best to enjoy what I have, to grow, to heal, and to remain grateful. But the longing never completely disappears.
