I hear your concerns loud and clear, S_How, and I agree that the current situation is ridiculous. And you are spot on with your 3 points to fix. These are MASSIVE issues. However, Nexon are doing nothing but sticking their heads in the sand, inlcuding nb4 who is deliberately ignoring my (several) private posts to him about the problem.

So we will continue to do as we have recently started doing instead of just sitting on our hands, despite the fact that it is bothering us big-time and messing with our alliance structure internally, but we cannot just sit and wait for Nexon to step up and fix the mess they have created. We all know by now that this will take forever for them to fix - if at all! We are mad as hell (effing furious!) about the situation Nexon has created.

On another note, my notifications are letting me know that you qouted a post of mine in the design spotlight leaderboard thread, but that thread seems to have been deleted by admin earlier today, so I cannot see/reply to that.

Lol spare me the "we're furious", its honestly comical, just makes your entire team look even worse than it already does.

Every single semi-organized alliance in the game has the choice and option to use the base stacking strategy to drop down in difficulty and do 20x2 hits you could do blindfolded. Thankfully, the majority are choosing not to. We could so easily do the same and face gunpowder/EA bases. It is not original, not new, not hard, and shows the true colors of an alliance. Way to lead from the top UA!!

 

[phil_dee]

Aren't all five UA alliances now also using this technique, though?

 

[phil_dee]

It's somewhat more complex than that--our current opponent is a top 15 alliance, a handful have been top-25 at the time we were matched, etc.

 

[dannemare]

Not all of them. Not yet, at least. This might change, though.

Agree with S_How that comment is comical. Classless bunch trying to have their cake and eat it too...doesn't work...anyone with half a brain can see past it.

This comment is beyond ridiculous
Your alliances are a disgrace, I hope you will get your ass kicked in a first fair matchup...

S_How , my man, put it so eloquently. Hard act to follow. But I do have this to add, from a global perspective for me anyways, this game is all about the community and the fun. Working together with my alliance mates who hail from all parts of the globe (not a single double account), is the best part of this game for me. Not even close. The relationships forged, the fun, the process of growing as a team from the ground floor. That's what it's about for me.

Clearly many are on an all consuming glory hunt, where only the Lb results matter. We can all do this, but Choose to play on a level playing field. No matter what happens, PT will give them our best shot, have fun, and win or lose together. But in the end, we'll be moving forward, together as a team, having Fun, with our integrity intact.. After all. it's A Game people ... After reading many posts, whiney tirades, and now the if u can't beat them join them garbage.. Sure doesn't look like much fun to me..

PS- the player who sought greener more competitive pastures at UA lasted under a week, before coming back and declaring himself in PT for life.. That's winning in my eyes..

Good luck chumps, hope u enjoy it

Thanks S_How for speaking up and putting it so eloquently across. I thought I was alone and the community here approves of their manipulation. I hope that UA or others at the pinnacle don't follow in their footsteps and show us what a true honourable top alliance is capable of, which earns our respects from deep within even if you drop out of leadership board due to the 100.1% glitch, cause we know that your players can beat them in a 20v20 without those Iron Age fillers anytime.

 

[ccfoo]

Nicely written. Kudos to u n your alliance! Hope that you can continue to attract the cream of the crop in terms of teamwork, fair play and fun together

 

[ccfoo]

On the contrary, it seems that Nb4powerup was the one who interviewed them and gave them the spotlight in a Facebook post. It's discouraging cause it shows that Nexon approves of their exploitation, or aren't aware or bothered by it. One consolation is that the comments to that post reaffirms that most alliances (maybe not here) are aware of how they manipulate their way up and disapproved of their actions too

 

[UA Bidness]

United allies is trying to top the leaderboard. That is the point of the new glory system. It seems silly to get angry at us for adapting to what we perceive is the best approach to trying to reach the top of the leaderboard.

If United allies wanted to face weaker opponents in war we would have used low level accounts a long time ago, the only reason we are trying it now is to attempt to climb the glory leaderboard. Nexon has designed the system this way and we are doing our best to adapt. If you don't care about the glory system then don't judge others who are trying to participate.

I would much prefer a system that REWARDED teams for fielding the BEST possible 45 and 50 man teams and didn't penalize those teams when they end up perfecting each other. I am pretty sure most other competitive end game players would agree. This was the point dannamarre was trying to make when you all jumped all over him. It's fine if you think the system is broken and you have no interest in trying to climb the glory boards, but don't disparage us for trying to compete.

The sad part, which you clearly are missing, is that your spot at the top will be completely meaningless to the community with the cheesey tactics you consistently employ. It's like the 12th grader beating up a 9th grader then proclaiming himself the toughest kid in school. Enjoy it.

 

[ccfoo]

Seems like Palpatine has managed to convince Anakin. Enjoy it

 

[Prodigal Clint]

Lmao purposely sabotage huh. No that's not what I'm saying and frankly I'm not suggesting anything for your team. You do you and we will do us. I'm making an observation that I find it disappointing that a team as a skilled as yours, is so insecure that they need to sell their souls by matching with themselves and playing this game with bogus accounts two weeks into a new leaderboard. It's disappointing and I hope other teams don't follow suit, it's a horrible example.

 

[Sound of Silence]

Now, I must be honest, I totally get what UA is doing here. Despite their high levels, they were never quite able to make it to the top of the leaderboards with the old system. Now that this new one has come along, they have found a way to manipulate it to where they have a good chance to succeed where they previously failed. And if they lose, they can always just complain that the system is not fair, because half their team is level 60 or lower. Hats of you so honorable few (x2).

 

[Sound of Silence]

In regards to the Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe accounts....just brilliant! I can imagine it gets super hard coming up with so many fake account names, and this was a clever solution! Then to just flawlessly transition it into the Three Stooges....I mean, perfect isn't even the word! Did you plan that ahead of time, or did it just, like, come to you? A great fit. Anyway, you obviously have my respect, and the respect of the entire community. Be proud to be a member of the United Allies!

 

[ccfoo]

Other than Asian clans, some more familiar good clans like Eminent Domain and the Borg climbed high to the leadership boards without this manipulation as seen from their members list. Cheers and hooray to these clans! My deep respect goes out to you!

 

[Sound of Silence]

While this is true ccfoo, remember, you can not expect United Allies to sabotage themselves in this manner. They hold themselves to a higher standard, and to achieve such a standard, they must manipulate as much as possible.

Hello,

My two cents. This will end in one of two ways. either these jokers will all be ranked in the top 10 alongside one another and people will simply ignore them, further to that not even acknowledge their existence to the point that when lined up in war against them you simply ignore the fact your in war and don't bother attacking. or alternatively, they get run over so many times and pull their heads out of the dark side and decide they want to be a part of the community.

These alliances and the like need to stop playing DomiNations, it's a hard game, especially if you don't "work the metrics". Go play ping-pong with a 6 year old, or basketball with 8 year olds, trust me, you'll be better received and guaranteed a win then. Don't stick with DomiNations, it's a hard game and you're quite obviously not cut out to do difficult things while following rules. But for the sake of pete's stop claiming you're first, stop attempting to boast you've done something fantastic... just outright stop.

Sincerely,
Christopher Outlaws!!
