thats the only way my base has of stopping any number of the cool kids fleets. I just got tritons a month ago and had to coin a fleet for the raid just to get t4. So because I have not had access to all the big kids toys that means Im an automatic farm. This is such a fun game when you dont get to play because your base is always in repair.
I think this is bull, My op is within 4 walls from the water. I know because it does get hit just not by everyone. Thats why i have a square base. Kixeye you guys are retarded. your business will fail soon and i hope all of you end up homeless because you have taken a cool game and made it all about money
You guys with your squares are so screwed. You have been hiding in them so long you now don't know what works. Looks good on ya.
Personally - I don't believe in square bases. But it seems to me that someone is behaving extremely butthurt about not being able to hit an OP, and have qq'ed about it to Kixeye who then - like in a dictatorship - implement a rule about square bases being illegal?
I might be wrong in this - but is Kixeye - as a company who worships their "player base" - now telling everyone that certain things are not allowed, because it makes it "tougher" for someone to get alliance points? As it is - the game clearly favors base hitting at the expense of base defending. So how about letting players use the tools in place n the game to try and play their game?
Next thing might be someone qq'ing that pinch rockets in a base hit works for too long and Kixeye then removing them or banning the use?
Dictatorship? It's a goddamn game. They decided it went against the spirit of the game and changed things to make that clear. As for your invocation of the slippery **** fallacy: LOL. Get a grip.
You're right - it is a game. And why do we play games? Cuz they're supposed to be fun. But if you get told to not play like you want - but follow the "spirit of the game" ... meaning you can't utilise any means to protect yourself in the game, then where is the fun. Suddenly you can't play a game like you want to. Cuz someone thinks it is "against the spirit of the game". Sounds to me you need more of a grip than I do.
I want to make a completely closed moat, and stop seeing all those messages about "narrow channels." Somehow I doubt Kixeye is going to start allowing that, either.
No, because I'm not a moron. Taking the football and running off into the locker rooms isn't allowed either, and crying that somebody might get their feelings hurt and not get their participation ribbon if you don't allow it doesn't make the game 'fun' it makes it stupid.
WOW! ... Not a moronn? Then where did the metaphor about football and locker romms come from? What you say was not within the parameters of the game of football in the first place. Square bases was a mean for someone to protect themselves. Just like every other way you were/are abloe to do with equipping fleets, bases and other stuff in the game. And then to change it because someone whines about it making it more difficult for them to get their quota - is not within the "spirits of the game". Thats just - as you so clearly state - stupid.
Now you and I can argue about this all day long. I will never see your point like you will never see mine. I can only assume you are one the original whiners about square bases. You and me arguing about this has ceased for my part. I have long realised I can't win arguments against morons.
Battle Pirate Lore tells us game is set in the future. Wierd that Forsaken has somehow forgot about having a dry dock. Shipyard for building and dry dock for refitting ... or what Kixeye?

It was an exploit, pure and simple, and they finally decided it crossed the line from annoying to worth fixing. You can run off and hide declaring yourself winner all you want, I certainly don't expect anything less from someone that would defend square bases as within the spirit of the game.

Why bother with designing a base, i cant stop any of the lvl 60. so ill just make a big moon pie and if i log on and can play ill play if not oh well then sooner or later i wont log on.
LMAO, the new medal system will probably kill off all the smaller alliances in game, prepare for mass dis-bandings, I already disbanded mine.
Why? Because bases are going to be hit a bit more frequently? Sounds like your alliance was pretty awful if you're disbanding over that.
Disbanded because we are low level approaching level 40, soon to be hammered by much higher level players on a daily basis. We were a small group who just wanted to use the chat and get some small bonus' but the bonus' never seemed to make any difference. Most of my friends have quit their alliances in the past few weeks and many refuse to join any because it's all pointless. By the way, my friends (not in my alliance) are all level 50+, two of em are level 60 and have no interest in alliances anymore. The drama, people telling you that you need to play more, play a certain way, demanding you get points every week or be kicked, told to defend bases if you are on, etc, etc. We simply want to play the game the way it was 2 years ago and have fun, it's a game, not a job.
No wonder our alliance is popular. We have none of that. We are pretty well always maxed out with players and we are lvl8 alliance. We have no rules play how you like. Seems to work for us. What do you let 10 year olds run your alliance?
While not a huge fan of the Square base, by forcing people to place the OP within 4 land tiles is a cheap shot. Y don't you then just have base designs a player can choose from and call it a day.
No more making buildings impossible to be hit.
This I guess is most likely because it can be used to exploit the medal
system by preventing enemies from ever taking your medals while you are
still taking theirs.
Or as most people like to put it, no more silly little bases in the shape of a square with the outpost in the center.
It's not cheap to prevent people from using square bases.
well if im online defending my base maybe i should be able to pinch youre **** right in my morter range. That sound fair to me.
This actually used to be possible. They broke this functionality around 9 months or so ago I believe it was. Although if you ask them about it, "it's working as intended"
Has anyone see my SOCK, I've seemed to have missed placed it.

I was already thinking of doing this before and now my OP is going on the outside too. Free alliance points and medals for everyone while I continue to play as I like to play.
Have my OP at entry now ... too much c.r.a.p is just too much c.r.a.p ... had fun the firs year have been waiting better thing last 1 year not seen any only worse and worse ideas put in this game that have nothing to do with game play .
Look dock has 1/2 repair time ... how did that happen ... did chicken little die ? did sky fall down ? ... why not at same time cut down ship build and repair times ?

That **** is a square base. I don't know how it happened to you, but luckily the players guide section can help you decide how to fix it.
