Space Age players no longer able to find Atomic Age bases in multiplayer

[KnattyNate]

The thread title pretty much says it all. With the new spartan event they seem to have snuck in a little change that doesn’t allow Space Age players to find Atomic Age bases in multiplayer. This will obviously make the event more difficult for Space Agers to run away with it.

My guess is that they are trying to make the Event more fair. I am a CWA player, and in Multi-Player I only see other CWA players or Atomic Age, with an occasional Space Age. So in other words, I can only attack down one level. I don't see any Global aged opponents in Multi-Player. So it makes perfect sense that they removed Atomic Age opponents from Space Aged Multi-Player. Now, Space Age can only attack down one level, just like everyone else in the game. This change is justified and puts everyone on the same footing, otherwise Space Agers would have a huge and unfair advantage. Just my two cents.

I'm all for fairness, but, unannounced changes are what I hate the most about this game.
Doesn't paint a very great picture of their release management capabilities.
Cold War Age players were able to attack down until Global Age until about the release of Space Age.
Space Age players should have retained the ability to attack down until Atomic at least until about the release of Digital Age.

Less fragments too for 5 starring CWA and SA

Isn’t this a sign that Space age is no longer considered max age by the game system? If so... Digital age is about to be announced!

 

[oddin]

imho, this is only to ensure event fairness

 

[Fearz]

please reinstate fragments from battles . 11 fragments for 5 star on CW base is too low

 

[BeerMan]

Surely this is a mistake. Not having easy raiding targets ruins the whole in-game economy, especially NTGs. Good luck finding space age greek bases!

This.
l don't see why SA players mp strategies should be compromised for the event. What a stupid kneejerk reaction.

It's not really fair, pool of players in each age gets smaller and smaller, so the lower the age, the more targets to choose from. This was always the case, top age was able to attack 2 ages down. It might not feel fair to lower ages, but they are able to attack 2 ages too, just not 2 ages below them. Think of it as a bone to players who chose to advance faster instead of milking every age.

TinSoldier can you confirm whether this change is permanent or is it for the duration of the event? And in the future can you please announce that kind of changes? It's very unpleasant to wake up and see something like that.

 

[LordStark263AC]

in the future can you please announce that kind of changes?

Agreed. We need a confirmation ASAP.

 

[StarTrekAlliance]

sponge - We can agree to disagree. I think it's very fair, otherwise Space Aged players would have a clear advantage earning XP. There is no good reason to allow Space Aged players to attack two levels down at this point in the game as there are hordes of CWA players. Initially, I can see why they allowed this, because of a lack of CWA players, but that is no longer the case. Now Space Aged players are on the same footing as all other ages and only allowed to attack one level down. This is fair.

StarTrekAlliance see my response in your other thread, perhaps numbers will open your eyes.

 

[Borck]

I don't know if this is legal, people bought a pass not knowing about this.It wasn't stated anywhere.

 

[BeerMan]

Yes, this has a HUGE impact on the event. Luckily I didn't buy the pass, but I would be pissed if I did.

 

[BeerMan]

I think the optimistic view is that somebody screwed up and pushed the wrong button. The pessimistic view is that this is a revenue-generating move in conjunction with the event (harder bases = more crowns spent on retrain = more $$).

It would be nice to get an official response.

 

[Urbano]

The fact that there is no more chance of attacking an atomic age seems fair to me.

What is absurd is the lack of communication, and MAINLY, the fact that it has reduced the fragments gained in battle. now you destroy a Space Age grant only 46 fragments, and destroy a Cold War only 11 fragments.

This game will never be taken seriously ... it's too much mistake, too much misinformation.

Post any compliments on the forums and see that TinSoldier will respond in shortly time, post or report any issues, any hacker exposures and NEVER get feedback from NExon!

 

[helix900]

I agree, the lack of communication is the worst thing. I can live without being able to attack atomic, that is as you say fair. No problem with that part.

So then national trade goods b
need to be lowered and 3 of them have to be deleted BHG_Muet cold war and space are are 70% German 20% Roman and 5 % french and 5% British. There are very little to no Chinese,Greek or Japanese spaces age . There is also no way anyone is interested in a full war attack for multiplayer .yet another example that no one played the game there
