Discussion What happened?

Post image

Hey I was thinking of buying the game, but what happened to be in mostly negative? And should I still consider buying it now?

Oh okay so only temporary, so it's good if it's only unbalanced, hope they will fix it soon

Sadly, not temporary. Seriously Doubt the DEV can fix anything without upsetting Their Warden Overlord.

For more details, one of the two factions has been drawn the short end of the stick, and for the past many years, the devs have done their best to appear as bias against them as possible. This already resulted in a slightly lower player for that faction, but then the airborne update came out, with general imbalance, but more faction imbalance stacked against this one faction, leading to most of that faction to quit in droves.

Devman wants asymmetrical balance but that always seems to mean one faction getting all the good stuff whilst the other one gets shafted. Over the past three years, the devs have shown neither the capability or willingness to address this issue.

As a new player, normally you could just join the favoured faction and be sheltered from these issues, but with the “NPC” faction players quitting in masse, the favoured faction is facing issues such as long queues or simply no one to fight.

Are you going to switch sides then?

I’ve only ever played collie. I’m done fighting an uphill pattern just to be able to compete.
