Turns out you were right. Also I really need to chill the fuck out. Good luck with the bugs, I'ma go play Minecraft or something.

I never said you did. I was point out a perceived flaw in the game. I'm not saying people should do it, I'm saying that the liberation system would reward doing it. Pointing out that a something rewards doing a bad thing isn't saying "go do this bad thing" it's "this system has a flaw, maybe...

I'm just extrapolating of what happened last time we failed the AT mines (the kill 2 billion bots one) and we lost a ton of territory to bots and bugs instantly. I've only played for just over a month, so I only have a handful of failed MOs to go off of.

So we're going to fail this MO unless we somehow get like 90% of players on Marfark overnight (lol nope). What do we think the consequences of failing will be? I'm guessing the bots push out instantly and reclaim the last two MO's worth of planets, plus whatever planet we evacuated the kids to...

I figured this was common knowledge. There is a fixed amount of liberation we can achieve per hour across the entire galaxy, regardless of the number of active players. It appears to be 10-12% per hour and is divided up between all active players and weighted by the amount of xp earned. This...

My point is that bullying bugdivers/botdivers into only playing when the MO is for their faction is a viable solution under the current liberation system, but apparently "cyberbullying appears to be the only non-cheating thing we could've done to 100% this MO" doesn't concern literally anyone...

Factually incorrect. If 100% of active players focused on Vernen Wells and then Marfark, it would roughly double our liberation speed on those planets and we'd win both. Edit: It looks like we have about 12% liberation per hour we can do across the galaxy (based on the current numbers from...

We had fucking 71,000 people on Vernen Wells compared to a peak total players of ~50,000-someodd yesterday. How that fucking hell is that not rising to the challenge!? What more can we do without turning toxic and actively discouraging the bug divers from playing!? Edit: A "challenge" should...

I'm kind of frustrated that it looks like we're going to fail the AT mines again despite having 71k divers on Vernen Wells (last I checked) all because of the liberation cap and the bug divers. I can't be angry at the people playing just to have fun, so that makes me mad at the game design. I...

The crossbow was disappointing compared to the plasma punisher and autocannon that I've gotten used to. Maybe it's good and just needs a good horde clearing support weapon, but I was trying to also work on the daily (100 flamethrower kills during a bot MO, fun) so I didn't grab the stalwart or...

Known bugs I saw on Reddit include: 1) Superior packing methods upgrade no longer works, so resupply drops only restore 50% of support weapon ammo even with the upgrade. 2) Ballistic shield interacts poorly with crouching or going prone 3) Many scopes are still off-center, despite the updated...

Slightly defeatist? This feels more like full blown depression. We got rather close on the 2 billion bots MO and this one is theoretically possible, though at the current rate it's going to be pretty close.

I just really hate that planet, the lighting effects at sunrise and maybe sunset are absolutely blinding and the red make the automaton eyes blend in when I might be able to see those even if I otherwise can't see anything. I'd like something more than some medals for having to put up with it.

I hope it's something worthwhile, because right now this website says there's 23k divers who are making the hard choice to endure the stupid red desert planet to save lives compared to the 4k working towards the AT mines.

Being able to point-click-delete all the troopers & most of the scouts plus seriously damage the berserkers and some of the devastators from a patrol or dropship was quite fun and useful with a squad with 3 full AT weapons, at least on difficulty 4 & 5. Plus I had the diligence counter sniper...
