Orbital Laser Building - Made most of the ground troops(HellFire, Lasers, Megas, everything except Vanqs) useless in this event. This is really annoying many players, because they have been awaiting upcoming event, to play and have fun. But apparently kixeye disappointed them.
Custom Hercs/Hovers/Reapers - Making it difficult to use EHS,Titan. Better air for this event is Banshees, I believe. But most of the players, including me, don't have them either unlocked or upgraded.
I guess the reason for making this event so hard is that kixeye doesn't want everyone to have mercenaries. According to me mercenaries are not so important for every player to have/use. Mercenaries are just a bonus, can't be main unit. I for one always believe Kixeye has a reason behind everything they design/release.
Commanders - I wish you all good luck, with this toughest event.
I have already lost interest in the event and it has only been a day or two. KIXEYE has made the events harder and harder to the point that you end up in a brick wall early in it. I feel sorry for the new players that don't have any "big boy toys", their experience is very short lived. The game has gotten to the point that it doesn't matter if you upgrade the latest item or make your base fully upgraded, they seem to make a new item that makes everything obsolete.
Kixeye, are you trying to ruin this game? If the answer is yes then you are succeeding..if the answer is no well you are making a complete mess of it. All you need to do is read the comments by genuine people who play the game. My days are numbered playing this now (I can see that now), I am lvl40 and been playing over 3 years and have seen what was once a fun game gone straight down the pan. Constant upgrades and events for prizes which become useless within a couple of months..it's a never ending circle. Cheats being allowed to prosper (they get banned and within minutes are up and running again) ....People don't get to enjoy playing the game anymore...it's all very sad.......
i am playing since 8 months and this is the worst even event i have ever seen,just playing i have something important to buy otherwise i would boycott this event
This event place itself alongside operation Halcyon in terms of appeal. It's a moneygrab with sad rewards. Others have already elaborated why, and I cba to dig up what I wrote elsewhere.
Hercules Corrosion schematic?? since when? and put even 3 Orbital Laser? The time to enter a Toons and is already destroyed. This event I do not like so much, this time you do not give a Chance to get to level 61. I have spent a bit of money and I was not happy about this Event.
Bugs and Errors Found: Shadows Ops - Tactical Banshee Peacekeper - PK produces explosion but not damage. (up to now has not been fixed, Banshee with Tactical Peacekeeper are useless). WatchTowers are Outranged. Workshop - Schematics - configuring Hellstorm Commander, all the settings schematic of all units are gone, WorkAround not work.
Rouge Faction - after the destruction of the Rouge Faction Base 35, I continually receive 1 Mil. Resources instead of 6 Mil.
Im lvl 37, got to wave 36, cashed in. cbf to continue although I'd like banshee. I rather stinger and drone reaper schem, plus banshee will be back next month, and prob last chance.
Kixeye suport fix my troops i did wave 1 it froze rebooted and lost all my troops and air and it reset my base to all mortors they were plasmas please i cant even do event
Thanks for all the glitches... lag... and made the event so super stupid amzing hard to play.... you guys are really amazing how you are able to take all the fun out of the game, tumbs up... your a$$
Halfway the event and just having lost all my EHS again, I have the opportunity to add my opinion to this thread too. (It will be another "too long, you don't need to read this" contribution )
I must say that thusfar I kind of like the event. It's quite hard to progress, yes, but only if you're a one-trick-pony with at most just a few standard tactics available. If you're bent on playing this like you prefer to or are being used to, you're not going to cut it. I've read people write that "strategy has gone" but imho they are wrong. What they probably meant is that their current "strategies" do not work anymore. If the saying "adapt and overcome" has ever been one's true motto, then certainly they can apply that in this event. My guess is that many players (old and new) made leaps again in their tactical development, having learned new approaches, new tricks how to beat a base or a unit combo.
Difficulty curve is rather steep. It becomes dirty quite quickly. It jumps in the 30s. That may need a bit of tweaking. It used to be just right the past three, four events, I think. Don't succumb to the "argument" that "lower levels stand no chance this event". That is how it's supposed to be. They will stand their ground once they are higher levels themselves. Imho it would be ridiculous if lower levels and higher levels alike would breeze through a special event. By now we already have for that the weekend events, infamy/medals and the call-to-arms missions. Lower levels are having their breaks aplenty (not even including the infamous "test"). Let the Special Events remain the test that can show a player where he truly stands as an all-rounder.
Prizes are nice. The most powerful mini-mechs available in the highest waves. The blue striker (waves 81 & 91) is probably out of my reach, but the other two look great. Should people think that the mercs are useless prizes, look back into this game's history and think again. Each event new prizes were knocked down by people on the forum. As far as I know, that only has proven to have been true for Halcyon and Crusader. And even those unit types have their (slight) usefulness (sometimes). The mercs are opening up a whole new range of possible tactics. Just like once the introduction of lvl5 missiles did. Base defense design needs serious adjustments, attack platoon compositions can have more variations. I am still figuring out how to use them best, at what level and in which situations, but to me they are exciting. Even if they can not single-handedly trash a PvP-base or not even a 30+ rogue. Especially because of that, actually. They each take up a lot of storage space though, but that's probably intentional from a balancing pov.
I won't get too far again this event. It is a different way of playing after all (one might call it "harder"). I lack the extra spare time I think I'd need. The other main reasons are the lag and the frequent frame freezes (they replaced the flash crashes which I do not have anymore) that cause/signal a disconnect. They are the reason I lost my EHS two times already (not to mention quite some very repair-time heavy ground platoons) and had quite a few near escapes next to that. When they happen precisely during a timed attack, my units are doomed even if I refresh immediately. My current procedure is to click "end attack" first and then to refresh. Sometimes that works, a few times it didn't. Those bugs aren't event-specific, but they do spoil the fun tremendously.
A shoe company wanted to start business in a 3rd World nation. It sent two of its finest business development managers to assess the possibilities independently. When they came back the board of directors had a big problem. In front of them were the two reports. The first report said: "We'll get rich selling our shoes, they're all walking barefoot." But the second report said:"We won't sell any shoes there, they're all walking barefoot...."
compare this thread to the last event, not a single positive comment since the first day !!..i am lvl 38 and i am already tired of the game...i used the new toys and they are worthless
1) you can not use one at a time..meaning you cant avoid splash damage
2) 22 mins of build time per unit is ridiculous if they just fall dead out of the sky
3) DPS per repair/build time is lot more than the vanquishers which can cause considerable damage before they die if used one at a time
4) Laser orbital is a ridiculous concept making huge damage without any concept of strategy making it just for coiners
5) Bases with custom units in bunkers/reapers with anti-unique customization or corrosion effect on hercs making this extremely hard unless ..you guessed it right, you coin !!
so in all fairness KixEye, this is definitely one of the worst events ever..and to rub salt on our wounds you ae giving away HS Schematics for almost free
well this event is only for rich people why? the orbital laser are ****! should use gold to repair for each plats..the elite vanquisher and schematic are nothing with the laser...worst event at all
Orbital Laser Building - Made most of the ground troops(HellFire, Lasers, Megas, everything except Vanqs) useless in this event. This is really annoying many players, because they have been awaiting upcoming event, to play and have fun. But apparently kixeye disappointed them.

Mercenaries are just a bonus, can't be main unit. I for one always believe Kixeye has a reason behind everything they design/release.
Commanders - I wish you all good luck, with this toughest event.
nope the lag and the still yet bugged banshee ai nerfs them too
hai kixeye my event is broken, i am in war wave 30 but the prizes is all locked,merc camp,marauder etcetera. i can't unlock the prizes why? please i wait ur wisdom.. maybe awards banshee / ect because its not good for me..
well i disagree with msot of what's said inhere... te laser hasn't eve nshot one of my units so far i dun even care how many are i nthe base they do nothign at all.
what makes this event so incredibly boring is the schematic evanqs in deffenses they make it all take so long to clear it's so incredibly boring
shoot one shield coems up shoot next one shield comes up go back to first shield comes up go back to seccond shield comes up go to first oh yay i can finally kill it go to seccond yat dead as well and only 40 secconds wasted on killing 2 units....
The entire event is scewed up way too much way to hard attacks due to the fricking times it takes to kill them , unitwise it isn't even hard i'm still full reaired and a non coiner but the prizes ain't worth the time it take to get them the trophy deffenetly ain't worth it so i really dunno what i'm playing the event for, to be bored?
Certainly a challenging event! Also, a great experience gaining opportunity for all levels of players to play the game with more strategic planning than to only rely on stronger units. Great wave rewards & prizes on sale for lower level players to take advantage of and become independent of seeking help from fellow sector players. I am looking forward to the part 2 of Iron March event.
This was a game I played everyday. I was looking forward to this event for days. The lasers are the worst possible thing that kixeye could have done to this game. I quit at level 40 cause i could not get anything in there. I dont mind spending money on the game but this is totally ridiculous. Im so very disappointed in this game.
Kixeye is dead, the game is junk and the people are just a bunch of greedy kids looking to make money. I am going to scrap this game and play a game that actually works, lmao. KIXEYE go F yourselfs and get a real job !
yeah this event is a waste of time i have made it into the 120s in other events but am busting **** to get to 50 you guys are dreaming if you think i will waiste any time with this event or any other if they are this hard!!
Kixeye are a bunch of wankers and this game is ****
ISLAND WAVES Lots of fun as always. Nice to give us the Mercs for island usage. I dropped two on the island and it cleared the anti-air alone. Shame it does not even manage to land in a large thor. I hope upgrading will fix this.
ORBITAL LASER BUILDING Yes, the range is a problem. As mentioned before you need your air healed completely or you can not land a missile or move in ELT. Everything is too slow unless you are high level. The missile defence in the fortresses and after wave 50 make it for coiners only. Which is Oke for me. I might get to 60+. I am stuck now in 50 (wave 40 was easyif your killed the power first) because I need all my air to heal so I can take out the laser (18 hours or repair)
Tip on the fortress waves: Fly around the back and kill the powerplants + laser. Easy. Beware of the hercs in wave 50+. Take them out first with valks.
EVENT PRIZES XP wise it looks fine to me...
MERCENARY CAMP As I mentioned this is only good for Island wave + low levels. Perhaps when they reach lvl 15 they are usable. Good idea tho.
I see a lot of people complain about the event. For me it runs fine like any other day on kixeye. No excessive glitching. Still the 'normal' glitching we are all used to (Kixeye should notice that this list is not getting shorter. Even tho some issues are marked as 'known issues' in the forum for a long time now.)
Everyone complaining should look at what they have now. <lvl30 all have hovers now. They do massive damage and can bubble me easy.. I am sure I could use them well however they are and will remain lvl1 for obvious resons. People should deploy more of tactics!! If you can not see you can take out the lasers in the fotresses or can damage a base power supply with relative easy you should watch the map longer before you hit 'attack'. Finding weak points really makes your game and results improve a lot and is also more fun!
Oh yes.. Two more things.. First lvl 4 Blitz with 510 range!! I don't have toys to destroy those... This make a real event killer for the not haves (I bought the vanqs and took the time to lvl them to 8... Elite vanqs seem to far away in terms of XP. I hope they get me wave 60!
Second.. With events like this even the best missiles, deadeye and Peacekeeper, are useless. Will kixeye address this?
KIXEYE that laser triangle make this event unfair, u not tested it.???.. becoz EHF can't be use at this event, not like blitz it still let us use EHF, but this laser... NOT , u want us play fair but u didnt do same thing. where is war tactic game ? u should reduce that range laser ...its haard to kill defender event base with EHF, we didnt target wall yet, that laser start shoot EHF when still on the move to target walls....
I got DCed and when I come back on all my units are gone but 47 Ehoovers 24 evanks my prime,BFG and viper x thats it and my air units oooh yet dont forget my 2 rocket buggy scouting toons. all my E.Valks,Elite Hoover tanks, Elite Vanquishers all gone
This is the first event i have ever quit on and i have played them all. I stopped at 64 not because i could not go on but because i did not want to - it simply is not fun. Even the non fortress attack waves are ridiculous - there is no comparison between what the Kixeye units are capable of and what ours can do. I think this really is the beginning of the end for me with this game. And yes I have every toy in the book (lvl42)
YES, this event is harder than any before.

Please makes the Mercenaries can be repaired as vehicles and aircraft not as missile
I got tired building a new one
BP Lvl 40 - quit
VC Lvl 21 - quit
IF THE NEXT EVENT WILL BE **** LIKE THIS I WILL STOP WITH PLAYING THIS GAME
THIS IS NOT ANYMORE WAR COMMANDER ITS STAR WARS COMMANDER
I'm out of here.
I have already lost interest in the event and it has only been a day or two. KIXEYE has made the events harder and harder to the point that you end up in a brick wall early in it.

pls make some change in this event next time no more orbital laser if you keep on every player will quit the game i sure below 31 will stop playing
Yes Operation: Iron March. very very hard lol,:)
