its called a championship era held on 1 ticker (should call it 1 ticker championship imo). So basically they try to keep it in one of the free months which they hope is free for everyone so that everyone can participate equally which imo can never be achieved .
Then u plant and see people have planted with 50 players to confirm victory but then get destroyed by people who have planted 100 people to confirm victory , then there are DDos attacks on server every week so people can get breaks and they can relax. then u see people paying thousands of reds to a side to buy them directly or indirectly. And in the end a coalition of 5-6 alliance gets the final victory.
Aftermath of the era, some quit the game forever cause they now find BD a cheating fest and admins biased , some quit cause other eras dont feel fun anymore and some others quit cause they feel there is nothing left to achieve in BD after winning CE.
The era itself makes a lot of money though.
(And yes i have been part of one of those big coalition who came with 50 players if not 100).
And you have to take the role of Varys and look him straight into his eyes and tell him that he is wrong and taking such decision may lead to catastrophy.
@Alexander I think we proved this or I should say come to conclusion that CE is harmful in long term due players getting burnt etc? @Energy I thought you were aware of this theory?
Idk what caused it but the problem continued for a few days and tbh even without server crashes the ticks are off a lot of times and anything after last 50 seconds is just be at ur own risk
The last CE caused a serious loss of BD players, many who never returned. I prefer something like the Galaxy 3 era with 100 player alliance, and no one was able to plant after a certain tick. That was a lot more fun, and the best players did show up to play, and it brought a lot of excitement. The last CE era was very drawn out and exhausting.
People who play 2 tickers can play 1 tickers, however many who can play a 1 ticker cant play a 2 ticker. Would be excluding such a large amount of players who wouldnt be able to seriously play the 2 ticker
1 ticker coz i really doubt the players will be when its a joe admining and 48 ticks pass by whilst an army of multies bangs you.
and then when you’ve lost your final member, 2-3 members of enemy get banned and nothing is compensated except this angry mushroom growing inside of me
