People getting perm'd for a racing script (which is also totally deserved btw) while others get off with a slap on the wrist for something that cheated a huge portion of the player base is actually wild.

Yea I have no problem with removing them member number rules on both ranks and matchmaking personally, though I do think there would need to some balancing tweaks with regards to target score. I think the target scores are too high for full factions and too low for smaller factions. 

I believe in with standardising the score target at ~10k lead in conjunction with removing the member number rules we could start too see where factions really stack up in terms of power.

But ultimately, yes, if faction X can beat faction Y in a ranked war I believe they should be higher ranked if they prove that in war. Factions should be able to construct their rosters however they want to as long as the drawbacks are balanced appropriately.

Step in the right direction but Diamond should really only be the top 50 or so factions... and even that is pretty lenient if we're striving to make ranks actually means something.

What was the thinking in essentially removing deranks at diamond level if the goal was to make people less likely to term? Surely the logical step would have been to make losses more punishing?

Thanks for the fight, see you again in 6 weeks or so I guess!

Glhf, should be interesting!

Short and sweet!

Appreciate the fun scrap guys, hopefully we get to run it back soon.

We fucking did it guys

Not quite sure how this will increase the number of real wars tbh. If we're fighting the same 7-8 factions on a rotation, within a few months everyone will very quickly learn which wars are winnable and just ask for terms or rollover for the ones they can't win. 

On top of that, even if you could guarantee a competitive matchup every week, the vast majority of factions simply cannot afford to do that. We've had multiple wars that we've won and still been billions in the red. We're fortunate enough that we don't have any cash flow problems but it further incentivizes cache farming where outgoings are generally much lower.

I do think some changes to ranked warring in conjunction with this and we would be on the right track at least. Smaller target leads and making it more difficult to turtle your entire faction for 6 hours (make hosp times tick down at a greatly increased rate for those who are more than a couple of hours afk) would be good places to start.

Idk who started the offensive mercing but RWs are already a bad enough format, let's not make them even worse by devolving into that.

Looks like a sick war anyways!

Where suck ur mum mentos option?

I'm all for changes with the territory warring system, despite my faction being one of those that benefits the most from the status quo, but can we please not to tie it to a broken RW system.

Territory wars are so much more enjoyable to fight - we need to be finding ways to incentivise movement by things such as map based bonuses and even tying rewards to the faction that received them if you wanted to get real extreme.

Petition to remove the merit from whoever dropped that for being an absolute pussy

Ridiculous this clown was given a platform to 'glorify' himself f**king people who trusted him over . Guy think's he's Lex Luthor or something when in reality all he did was sink as low as possible in this game.

Scumbags gonna scumbag I guess. Enjoy playing the game solo.

Was a bunch of fun. Thanks SA for keeping it fast paced despite the fact you were struggling to push.

NS2 - Thanks for being awesome as always.

Until next time!

Please please please let use these to blow a path through fakewall stalemates. It would make territory warring so much more fun.

Let factions pass through the irradiated territories just not stay on them.

Thanks for a fun fight guys, let's do it again sometime <3

Looking forward to this! GLHF :D
