Why not push the Pillagers to spawn in player space? It'll help reduce lag in the Unstable Sector and allow easier access. Plus, many dislike this PvE variant of the AW, since it kills (or moves away from) its original design/purpose.

Gary P · 24 Apr 2018, 10:53PM

Cos they want players, who liked the pve in last alliance war, being forced to go into forsaken sector and risk getting hit by players who like pvp, it's their motive because if it wasn't we would have what you said Seal.

So again another event aimed at the coiners.

duane.farthing · 24 Apr 2018, 11:22PM

One or the other but NOT both, its just plain stupid stinkeye!!!!

Aletheides · 24 Apr 2018, 11:24PM

I suspect this will have lower participation than the last AW. Quite a bit of none mega coiners arent happy with PvP balance atm and the PvE targets are gated behind PvP.

drugas · 25 Apr 2018, 12:48AM

Great

. a free weekend. let the whales fight alone

TaruKitsune · 25 Apr 2018, 1:13AM

Some alliances may focus new players or peoples whose those pve target are much better and easy to farm for them, making them unable to get the prizes, mostly tyrant stuff from that boring and unbalanced gating. I don’t think it’s a good think to mix them both in one sector. If they were in the player sector it might be better, don’t get me wrong on the fact nobody would go in forsaken, you need to farm more solar shards.

That aside I had so god **** lag this last AW it would be better to spread instead of throwing everything and see how it goes as it’s still another experimentation for kix to mix both pve and pvp aside from bases.

Let me get this straight - players who want to earn points by PvE are going to get trounced by players earning points by PvP - what stupidity is this ? ? ?

who cares? you know the risks in a pvp event and when you enter a pvp sector your fully aware your at risk of getting hit. so what dont wanna get hit dont go farming in a pvp sector. sure the alliance war has changed and the current version is worse than the original. but its still good events it defo could be a lot worse

RaniRahn · 25 Apr 2018, 7:41AM

While i get why PvE and PvP is in the same sector but reason of LAG i would suggest that kixeye move one of them out of forsaken sector. I dont even try to play with 1 FPS like last time.

That's where you are wrong, alliance war is suppose to be a pvp event and if people want to do that fair enough but lumping in pve as well into same sector just makes no sense. Your forcing a lot of players out of participating who would rather hit pve but now have the risk of being pounced upon.

Again another dirty move by kixeye and tbh I am not surprised.

For those who say that people who are doing PvE may get attacked by coiners, just pretend that PvE in Alliance War never existed and enjoy the PvP. XD

(Oh wait, there's Mining Outposts, but no one cares about them right)

I believe thats what they are saying when they say they have a free weekend

Many people have voiced that PvP in its current form isnt enjoyable due to balance issues, i agree with those. So while i have the means to PvP in this event i cant find any enjoyment in it. So ill probably crash my fleets for a one time injection of points then go sit on repairs rest of weekend

As you know the composition of PvP and PvE fleets are quiet different. If you plans doing PvP, those fleets won't be doing PvE targets, then what is point to have Marauder Pillager fleets at all. Who wants to be hit by a PvP fleet right after you finished a tough fight against Marauder Pillager, you are going to give easy points away since PvP has higher points with higher fleet level(you will be hunted down), also enjoy your fleet get destroyed with 24 hours+ repair time.

This AW is a mess, Kixeye should never mixed Marauder Pillager(PvE) and PvP in the same sector together. I expect the participation level might be even lower than 2 AW ago since last AW is a PvE event only.

I will enjoy the time off this weekend, maybe to go see the new Avenger Movie

My 2 cents.

Pretty sure a carrier + 5 bastions can easily do both.

my name goes here · 25 Apr 2018, 4:17PM

Pretty sure my carrier + 5 bastions will easily do neither.

Umm 5 bastions and a carrier can kill pillager 100s easily, so are you saying you cant fly?

Just my way of saying I will not be participating in the event, going to enjoy the "outside." Heard is was nice

Money Mike · 25 Apr 2018, 11:04PM

Pls use full bastion fleets with carrier guys... I’ll smoke you... hahah jump to betas

Nathan Alex · 26 Apr 2018, 1:56AM

Well really hope u re think Pve in same place as pvp I got 8m intel last aw spending manny hours for a level 42 base now with added pvp at the same place and time will limit me a lot having to log off and wait rep for destroyed fleet in pvp rather than in rep for pve. Pve makes the event available to all players since level 30s ain’t that hard with their 4 gear while adding the pvp aspect at the same time won’t benefit lower level as ppl will target weak farming fleets. Really hope you rethink this out my opinion alliance war is the event of the month:D

SteelSteve · 26 Apr 2018, 4:52AM

AHAHAHAHAAA time to listen to all the farmers cry while I get some amount of the original AW back into my life. I still hate the farming aspect because it just creates more lag, but at least I can still pvp

Synexord · 26 Apr 2018, 8:36AM

I will do mostly pvp but if I find no easy targets I will farm the mk, looking forward to this AW xD

Deepsx2 · 26 Apr 2018, 11:33AM

AW is for 48 hours.. why dont Kixey makes first 24 hours for PvE and then after 24 hours for both PvE and PvP.. All will be Happy..

Then people will complain that they get ganked anyway by bored coiners and the PvPers will complain that the event is too short.

Sheep Geminis · 26 Apr 2018, 10:11PM

- Deleted - I'm really tired of complain about all the bad steps that Kixeye do during the events, I'm just gonna skip this event.

Gary P · 26 Apr 2018, 10:20PM

25% rep discount, really, 40% last few aw's

Shinigami23 · 26 Apr 2018, 11:07PM

plz increas the spawn rate @Cyrus Leung @GDIAX PLZ INFORM THE CM THX

CM_Lee · 26 Apr 2018, 11:24PM

We are adjusting the spawn rates to be a little quicker very soon and will continue to monitor.

Sheep Geminis · 26 Apr 2018, 11:30PM

How about to make the Combat Zone bigger? All the times I tried the Lv 90 Marauders, I got killed because the lack of space to pilot. In the last Alliance War I was able to do them but now I can't.

scorpheas · 27 Apr 2018, 12:16AM

The prob is the fleets for pve do not work against pvp fleets. Most time they destroyed without causing any damage. And when you try to escort. They just jump the pve fleet soon as escort is destroyed. Rather have two sector. One for pvp other for pve. Cause you still gotta hit bases for shards.

scorpheas · 27 Apr 2018, 12:20AM

Also please fix the tyrant speed. Makes pvp. For aw or cw just no fun. Separate comment. I'm the only person on my alliance who is bothering to do this event Just cause I want some mk boxes. Well got hit got destroyed. Got 100k points and 25 hours repair. I literally can't do nothing else for 24 hours
