maybe this should be in B&S but i think it is more relevant to alliance server only feature since we have tags and what not here...

on top of global DR, can't we have country DR also? if someone is DRed to crap globally but he also hit me in the past 24 hours, i should start with 0 DR on him so i can get at least part of my land back

it might even spice up the war strategies, the guy who got hit by someone who participated in a kill can be the one that is the finisher since he has no DR :P

shut up iscone

no it just encourages people to farm who farms you :P

sure iscode

instead of just saying it was stupid

how about this only applies if you were attacked without any agression on him in the past 24 hours?

so if you did farm him then the normal rules apply. but if you didn't touch him at all and he suicides you, then country DR applies.

I don't like it, it takes the challenge away of getting good grabs in while trying to make sure the other gets a retal that gets him less.

Retaliating is easy as it is with off allies weaps tech and more. The only thing you gotta do is time it right and get your NW right. Why make it more easy by pushing out the DRs on C:C level ?

makinso: you don't like the part where you can have some spice to the generic rush vs stonewall strategies of war?

when the guy starts to wall, he has a choice to make. say he has 40 missiles and he wants to fire them. he runs a risk of putting himself out of DR to the guys he missiles which will make him get killed faster by those guys

etc.

but what do i know, we don't like any change even though it's obvious this game is going downhill without any changes ;)

without any changes?

dunno where you have been, but i have seen a lot of changes and tweeks to the game since its inception

i think the admins are doing a good job with changing things up a bit from time to time

I think the only point I agree with you hanlong is that this should be in B&S =P

While it is nice for the player who gets hit by someone in massive DR, the player (who possibly is making a retal) can get really messed up by that, because even in DR people will get more acres from farming him, and THEN you'd be able to get a large amount of non-DR land as well. The DR is there to protect players who are hit often for a reason. This bypass would make it extremely unfair for small farmed players.

And of course, I agree with Ruth that there have been quite a few big changes and if there is a glaring problem, the admins put in significant time to get it fixed (aka the new attack method to reduce lag and introduce fairness in speed hitting). Other examples of changes is the GDIv2 for express and primary, changes to private bushel sell price, miltech effect, quite a few iterations of bonuses, etc. If you're not noticing these changes, or are still doing the same strats you've always done for 10 years, then you're missing out on the dynamics that keep people interested and on their toes.

yes it should be B&S...c'mon people!
