New Division Updates
ubuntu21
hey folks,
this is ubuntu21 talking to you again. I was really busy during the last days, so I wasn't able to publish any new articles. Well, when I woke up today I was looking forward to the new changes... and got dissapointed a lot.
Plato, 2014
1.) People from Division 1 are now able to use Q1-Q3 Rockets. This especially means for new players that they won't be able to compete for BH's anymore as there are lots of experienced players who have a Q3 Rocket Factory and do an instant damage of 500k with one rocket.
2.) Experienced players with high Strength will laugh about the damage from new players. Some of the "new" Division 1 players with e.g. 40k Strength and the military rank of National Force will do 50k damage with one Q7 hit. This means, if they're going to do the Daily Order, they'll probably do about 2.5 million damage on the battlefield. It's half a Big Bomb. Real new players won't have a chance to compete for medals at all.
3.) With the new "Requirements for Divisions" it will take much more time for Division 1 players to actually get to Division 2. This means, gameplay will be much more fun as they can now fight every single day.
Some small calculations: If there is a Division 1 player with fully upgraded TG's and 5k XP, he's able to do 91.8 Strength a day. If he's going to fight the Daily Order every day, he'll get an average of 71.8 XP a day (10 XP for Training/Working, 60 XP for DO, 1.8 XP for DT). For reaching Division 2 he now needs 45k XP. Dividing 45k with 71.8 makes up to 630 days of Training. 630 days of Training means, the player will leave Division 1 with about 57k Strength. That's pretty nice I think. Also, his military rank will be somewhere between National Force and God of War.
But as I said before and most of you probably know, it will be a really unbalanced division. And as it is the division new players will be a part of, most of them will get bored of fighting really fast. So they will return to their usual 2-clicking-mode... or maybe they'll leave the game.
The new Division 2-4 will be much more balanced, I think. Good for some players, because they're not competing with the strong Titans anymore, or at least, they won't for some time. This means, they can actually go for BH's again. They'll probably be really happy about it. I would.
Well, I can't say a lot about other divisions as I am not confirm with the current situation in those. But I think, for some players, those new "Requirements for Divisions" will be a really good chance to actually have some fun on the battefield again.
All this Division stuff should have been different. Most effective way would've been to establish 2-3 new divisions...
This would be a good seperation of divisions. Of course, some changes could be made there, too. It was just a fast table-making to show you something what could be actually useful.
So why don't they just create some new divisions? It's obvious. More divisions means less battles for BH's, which automaticely leads to less Gold buyers.
I hope you're dissapointed in the same way like me. If so, comment on this article, shout it and subscribe it. I'd appriciate that a lot. We need to change that new Update. It will destroy the game for new players.
Meanwhile, stay tuned and be proud and horny.
My favorite non-governmental newspapers:
- 16 Shells published by Gnilraps
- Players Quarterly published by Phoenix Quinn
- B-Labs published by elbandido

First for the new updates... and ... IM READY TO TANK !
😮
Voted, but http://goo.gl/reMHEB !! 😃
Agreed, it's very beneficial for the older citizens but it will totally demotivate young citizens.
Logically they should have added on further divisions.
More divisions would mean much more fun for the community, but less Gold buyers.
new div system + new inreface make everythings good for new players
voted, will shout
Thanks you!
[removed]
Why didn't they add more divisions like they added more weapons and foods...now im a lame div one instead of a lame div two. so really this did nothing for me.
More divisions means, more people with same kind of Strength. That leads to less Gold buyers.
Also messes up government, MU, and party programs that use divisions to determine eligibility for free tanks, food, gold for training, and CC for moving.
Yea, that's going to change lots of programs... :/
V + S
Thank you.
And,,,, Ide be Division 2... GG

Excellent article voted.
Thanks dude.
good job
Thanks man.
I will go from div 4 to div 3. while that may sound more competitive and fair for me. I got to where i am by competing against titans daily. Before this i was just "humble and lovable" Shoeshine Boy...
Yea, you'll actually be able to get medals and similar stuff. It will be really nice for you. But for exampe those guys getting from Div3 to Div1... they'll have so many possibilities. Just unfair.
Cry me a river, Month old player with 8 decorations already. The old system was a joke the whole time. Practically everyone was stuck in Div 4 with no chance for EVER. I been playing 6 years still no decorations. Testament to how broken that system was. You fly through div1-3 in a couple months before. I can dish out plenty of damage and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't ever get anything at all, much less something challenging like BH or anything like that (which I might add I (or anyone) had a good chance to get if they tried hard before they implemented this whole bad system). Div 1 will still be easy for you and there won't be players like you said "40k Strength and the military rank of National Force will do 50k damage". You are just making stuff up. The amount of exp needed to get anywhere near that would push people into div 2-3 no doubt.
Not to mention you have 65 BH medals, lolz month old... such a joke.
Well, dude, you're wrong. There will be lots of players in Division 1 with even HIGHER Strength than I said in this article. Need examples? JingYuxIn, sudnzidvd, anatin, Misaki26, FlereHe, Paroach Jr... do you want me to continue? They ALL have more than 50k Strength.
It will be easy for me earning BH's? Sorry, but it seems like you still (after six years of playing) don't know a lot about this game. If you need help, don't hesitate to contact me. I am always willing to help active players.
And what about my BH medals? Dude, do you actually know what you'Re talking about? Or do you just wanna kidding me?
You can do all that and more when you're part of a great team such as EZC.
I've been a witness of ubuntu21's success, so what he did for a month doesn't compare to any of the newbies who just don't know how to get around. The guy is super-active.
One more thing, did buying gold ever come across your mind to figure out the speedy success of some?
Buying gold should never be factored into game balance. That's part of the problem the game has now that it didn't have before is them trying to force people to buy to get anywhere once they get to a certain point. Make it easy, draw people in, then make them hunger for that success they had at low levels. It don't make it cool though.
I know quite a bit about this game, much more then you no doubt. I have been involved in everything it has to offer at once point or another since it released. AND Yes 1 month old player with 65 BH @ 5 gold each? That is ridiculous. No one should have that as a new player. This would mean in your single month of player this game you have probably earned over 350 gold!!!! Most players cannot get that in a year with the current game design. At no time in the existence of this game until recently was anything like this even remotely possible for any new players and it is significantly unbalanced. In fact, for the most part a player under 1 month old would (until recently) never had any BH medals which is much more plausible seeing as how a new player shouldn't join the show and be able to pwn the world anyways, it gives false representations of reality. You get enough gold boosts from gaining quick levels and other stuff that you don't need this. And if you think losing this will make people quit, then you have a rough life ahead of you. Spoil the spoiled and of course they are going to cry when their riches are taken away I suppose. But when they are compared to the average citizen it is just a sad pathetic example of greed. These type of players would quit anyways so why does it matter? Let those riches be spread out among the players that are staying I say.
As for the people you complaining about, they are few and far between and will out level div 1 in due time. How many people are even active? The way the game is set up now exp is significantly easier to get than b4, so it matters little. There will always be strong players in every division now, that is a good thing. Make you new players actually work for something instead of having it handed to you, it was never supposed to be easy and you've had a cake walk long enough. This is much more balanced, even moreso then they thought it was when they implemented this whole division concept.
1. In Division1 you get two Gold for a BH. That's a total of 130 Gold in my case. The Gold you earn is based on the Division you're in.
2. Gold boost due to Leveling Up is boring. Small calculation: For one fully upgraded TG you need about 95 Gold. For all four TG's it's a total of 380 Gold. Even one is really difficult to reach.
3. With missions and Starter packs it's really easy to get that many BH's if fighting with mind.
4. Of course, there will be strong players. But a new players does about 50k damage with 25 hits and 1k Strength. Another player, with 20k Strength will maybe do about 1 million damage. In which universe is this balanced? We need tons of zookas, rockets and bombs to get this amount of damage.
For new players, the economy system is mostly uninteresting. They won't have a lot Gold, no upgraded companies.. no way to actually earn good money. So they've got to go to the battlefield. Another problem there, without earning BH's/CH's/TP's/FF's you just lose more money while fighting. You need to fight if you're actually able to achieve some of those medals. FF's are the easiest to get. No special qualities you need to have. But for this Dimension of divisions (1-34), there are thousands of players with amazing high Strength, so it probably will be impossible to get BH's. TP's will take lots of time after the 6th.
And a general question... what's the fun about the game, if you're not able to achieve something?
Kind of strange I'll go to d3 for the first time ever where I will remain for the time it takes me to go from 69 to 70.
Well I didn't know they only gave you 2 gold but that still doesn't change the core subject here. ALL of the things you are complaining about losing for new players have always existed that way though, We never had any of those "boosts" for years prior to this and plenty of players got by fine. This in itself is not the ore problem of what makes this game uninteresting. Everyone else seemed to get through fine. Only this past year or so has Div 1 and even 2 and 3 for the most part been simply a cake walk where players can roll through and get more notoriety/medals/gold in 2 months then most other players have gotten since they implemented the system.
I understand what you are saying, but allowing any players such an imbalanced and specially catered system isn't good for anyone. Also everything you said in the final paragraph is exactly the same for higher level players too, unless they spend RL money. They don't just end up with gold or companies or ways to earn money easy one day. Those of us that don't spend RL money toiled through the grime to muster up gold for what we have and it was not ever handed to us like you are asking they should do now. This market is uninteresting for everyone I would say, its fairly bad and profits are small. In my opinion if you wanted an interesting market they need to re introduce how it was prior to the division system and 2.0 (or w/e it was). This si just a dumbed down battle game now so yes everyone has to go to the battlefield, not just you new players. The problem being no one else can or has been able to accomplish anything there for years so however inconvenienced you think that makes you now. In a couple months when you get out of div 1 I think you will be quite grateful. Espec. when you cross that threshold that would of taken you into D4. Where you can blow 150 health bars $2,500 on Q7's with +50% mods, bombs, missiles, rockets and killing well over 1k players and still not get BH... If you want to talk about broken.
Do you actually remember why we started this discussion?
Hi Arbryn.
I am here just for the pussy on bottom 😃
She's nice, isn't she? 😃
One fine lady 😃
Good article. I think all points of view are valid. In my particular case and opinion: I experienced that when I was in division 4, my damage influence was very little compared with the old players that are in the current division 4. So it was a different to see a fighter producing 100K damage influence vs. 10K damage influence.
Just a reminder, this is a game. Play along, figure it out, develop strategies...
Voted!
