Unpopular Opinion - Clans And Alliances
This is an unpopular opinion, but don't you think that this game is unbalanced? I mean with this clan and alliance thingy. Nowadays, you can't simply wage war with anyone. You have to follow sector rules. If you want to attack someone, the entire sector would be behind you. People just post cords in the war chat, and that's basically your death certificate. You just have two options. Either play along, be everyone's friend and keep upgrading units that you will never use. Or, fight, and get flat everyday, and most likely, jailed. I know that there are war sectors and sectors with hitlists, but seriously, the hitlists are always filled with players that have already been bubbled, and in the war sectors, the most people are already flat, and you have to always confirm who is enemy, and who is not, and you get flat everyday, which is just worse.

I have always played alone. I just jump and play RID. I usually make friends after battling with someone. Sometimes I tell the sector I will play sector enemy for one week but no jailing and no stealing my Thor. Sometimes I'm just an ****, depends on the personalities of the sector, funny how they are all so different.... BUT, I haven't attacked any players since the game changes in October.
I was a huge pvper back in the day. I'd hit 5-10 bases per day. it was fun as hell. once alliances started forming pvp was killed for me. couldn't hit a base without getting jailed by 20-40 players. couldn't hit a base without getting surrounded. before I finished 1 attack on a base I was surrounded. Some times I wouldn't even get to start an attack before getting surrounded, there'd be 20 platoons following me ready to stop when I stop.
So I've been playing upgrade commander for the last 2 years.
Anyone want to guess what started all this nonsense in the beginning.?
People argue that in real war there is diplomacy and alliances, but in this game it virtually eliminated the whole warring thing.
I used to fight other players, but since the whole Clans thing really took hold it stopped that for me. One could argue that nothing is truly stopping you from going and hitting a base, but there is. Jailing. I don't wanna have to get stuck in jail for all time until I jump out the sector.
Its ridiculous and takes the fun out of the game.
Frankly, considering how the entire thing has taken hold with just about everybody, KIXEYE may as well just chuck an official alliance feature in the game.
Now I play a game where all I do is run around attacking Rogues all day, and that's boring as f**k considering I know what to do, and I don't wanna throw out my units just to zap a little excitement back into the game or whatever.
And it doesn't make the game anymore exciting if you attack someone in an alliance. It just makes the game worse.
Before it was versus 1. Then it becomes 20+ versus 1. Where's the fun or fairness in that?
To be honest, I think the alliances that people create have just turned people into complete **** and wusses.
Someone gets attacked, this is what happens.
They get attacked, they go complain to their buddies in the alliance.
And they all band together, like the good little cowards they are, to stick your **** in jail and give you no end of trouble.
Ya know what I did when I was attacked by some player. I had a good deal of friends in the sector, but I simply asked em just to check "Am I cool to strike back?" They gave me to green-light and I stomped that guys **** myself. I Didn't say, "go jail him please."
I set up a couple of toons, took em over to his base and I did something bout it myself.
In short, the Alliance and Clans thing has sucked about 70% of the fun out the game and turned people into losers who can't do sh*t themselves.
Total “Lord of the Flies” stuff…in my opinion, It’s a good thing none of these armchair sociopaths aren’t at large in the real world!
an growth make to where no hitting during events no way of jailing anyone an most importantly
Make fast an even growth that cant be stopped With jailing or other means
if they hit me i get flat an i bubble them flat its war baby with no blocking or self jailing by attacking each others toons
war will rage with no way to control every ones growth or reso they will become just another blow hard with no power
during said time player a & b can fight till bubbled or time is up
then player c can attack a & player b can tack d but player A & b cant attack each other for the same amount of time again
plus all other players cant attack block or other wise obstruct player a or b from fighting or park in the 6 hexes or attack there toons
Its ALWAYS been this way, at least since I started playing a few months before battles went live. One of the best aspects of the game is huge clan/alliance wars, so no, its fine. There are even groups you can join that are anti-clan, sector smashers. In a social war game, Im sorry, but you have to band together with allies to succeed if you want to go pvp.
But the game has always had alliances......... Unless you mean within its first 6 months or so. Alliances/clans/friends <---- all naturally part of a Social War game.....................
In almost every RID jump I have went on, I have banded with, or at least came to a mutual understanding of the sector is the enemy with the non-residents/sector enemies. And while I thoroughly enjoy huge alliance wars, some of the best jumps I have been on have been with only a few friends against a whole sector. Plenty of targets and just enough friends to help prevent any jailing.
Not only what already has been said, but Kix will never be able to tell who is still friends and have each others back. As is only natural, people will band together in some way for mutual benefit/control over others.
Here is my solution advice. You want war? you want pvp? then talk to several clans and find one that has a jump team. The jump teams will heal up in their home sector, then jump to a sector that is at war with other clans. You can pvp to your hearts content. Your fellow clan members will attack plats that are trying to jail you, and free you up. If you are dumb enough to cause problems in a sector without backup, then you get what you deserve....im just saying...
But I do agree - these clans and alliances are pure nonsense - I was forced to be part of clan for a very brief few weeks - until I got Really angry about the whining and begging for help opening thoriums (the Main reason Kixeye made Thorium deposits so difficult) - so they kicked me out very fast - so much for the "friends" you make in clans - if you disagree you are out !- big guys playing daddy for the lazy small guys whining all the time - old days they were Hit just for begging in chat - the way it should be - Either Play the game like us old timers - the hard way - or Leave !
