Today, I am a newb
ligtreb
I've been around this game for a long time and I'd like to think I've been pretty good at it. Not anymore.
Today, I am a newb.
Today, we are all newbs.
V2 is a completely different game. No one is an expert yet about how it should be played.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. It will be a good thing if this game turns out to be fun (and not filled with bugs). It's only a bad thing for those of us who excelled at and enjoyed V1.
I and many others knew all of the basic strategies of V1 already -- how to efficiently work, train and boost your wellness, how to maximize fighting and battles, how to run businesses and what products to buy to fulfill your needs.
We don't know how to do any of that today. We think we do, but people will find better and improved strategies as V2 goes on.
To the newer players, you should be thrilled: The older people like me don't have nearly as large of an advantage over you as we used to. We no longer dominate you in fighting and making money, even with our migrated skills, because we don't know how best to use them yet. You might figure it out before us if you try.
To the older players, don't give up: We learned the old game which may have seemed simple to us, but wasn't for most people, as was shown by the thousands of players who quit the game. We've learned a game before, we can do it again. And besides, the politics, media and social modules haven't changed.
I got quite a shock this morning when I tried to work and train by clicking one button, as I've done nearly every morning for a year and a half. It wasn't that simple today.
I'm not quitting though, like I've seen many do already. I'm going to try and figure this game out, even if I feel like a newb today.
I was not looking forward to V2, but now that it's here, let's make the best of it.

Voted. Ligtreb, fine words.
I think I found a good balance but now it all depends on what you want to do in this game.

It's going to take some time for the economy model to settle down. At the moment the wage differentials between skilled and unskilled seem extremely low. I've decided to not bother working until the market clears up.
The market generally appears to have gaps and also massive price variances from V1. Guns for example worth more than most houses were under V1. Artillery appears to be like first editions of the bible signed by the author.
My hard saved for Q5 house has now become one from the three little pigs, all it will take is 67 days of a light blow to fall down.
I suspect that ultimately the new version will stand and fall on the military module which I'm not a big fan of and how well the economy balances out.
In some ways the hiatus on combat may well give the economy time to straighten out. My concern is that without the stimulus to demand the module provides we will end up with a disjoint at the start then, just as things begin to settle a second disjoint when the military module starts to affect the markets.
I went up 3 lvls since v1. I guess it's a bribe not to quit. lulz. NOOOOBS!!!111!
WHERE DO I WORK?!?!?! 😨 LISA SAYS SHE WANTS MOAR TIME WITH ME. WHERE IS THE BUTTON FOR THAT?!?!
Today, I'm Newb Too!
