I’ve been seeing lots of light spiders too, although some clans are still running all hovers, and I’m seeing a sprinkling of dogs and gremlin/goblin builds.
Probably more gerrida builds than anything else so far.
These light Gerrida builds just feel so nice to ram at full speed with my 10 meters long wedge. So far Confrontation is easy peasy, but I’m already nearly capped in confrontation points U_U
Which is the other problem. PvP + Confrontation, I’m capping around 7k points… Duh, really? First objective is 5k, second one is 20k…

I understand the update.
I stopped gaining points ~740. (believe its a bug?)
I like the idea, but think the implementation is very bad. Many players CHOOSE to play solo.
I already played all the CW type playing I want to…in CW.
I still bought most packs, most BP’s in the 2 years after I stopped doing CW’s.
This just means I won’t buy anything else. Already stopped buying the mini BP’s after the first one required BP only items in order to craft.
I am not a Communist, I am not sitting here to play a game for the “betterment of all”…
for people who don’t like the update do what im going to do stop playing game once ive unlocked everything in the bp im done.
i played did the weeklies to get the pathfinder crate, i did the dailies to get the weeklies to get the crate, no weeklies to get the crate no reason to do the dailies no reason to to play daily.
people say join band/clan i don’t want to be in ether of those so im not .
ive gone from playing daily to once a week and thats until the bps finished .
solo players play solo for what ever reason aren’t going to join a group of strangers to do content they already had access to , most likely there going to quit .
that’s why people are upset because in all online games solo players out number group players(except in one game) and what do you thinks going to happen when the solo players stop playing.
this is a fun game ive played since it came out of beta even put money into the game something i rarely do especially
a f2p.
if they added clan/band challenges without taking away from the solo players this wouldn’t be an issue .
well ive said my piece time to go do something else until Thursday

I am going to play Star Citizen. If it sucks, I will buy SF6 and MK and get my pvp on there. Great time to change, right at the end of fishing season. I will have plenty of time to learn a new game.
I tried the 4x4 matches tonight and really didn’t enjoy it. I can’t really see myself going through the motions of playing this mode the way it is.
The loss of badges from different difficulties in raids has me demotivated too. The way they have it right now is that I could just ink it out as all easy raids for the same crappy lower badge reward.

Nope. This is a “Get the scrap metal!” battle result. There is no confrontation advance. They are forcing us to play PVP in that specific mode, which I don´t like. So this looks like a downgrade to me in temrs of fun and badges reward.

Yes. This is pissing me off too. Every time I log on there are no “Confrontation” matches available, and I’m told I need to wait an hour or more for this damn mode to open up to I can complete the bloody “Confrontation Tutorial.” It’s dragging it out so can’t advance past the tutorial, and playing PVP does nothing to move the needle.
I never wanted to have anything to do with clan wars in the first place. I hope it gets better, because this sucks.

Then how did you get the other points? The system works correctly in PvP missions. (Well, it works as intended)
You don’t get points every time you play.
You only get points if you beat one of your saved scores. Read the patch notes.
Also - Confrontation mode is just a PvP mode like missions - you can try to come up with an excuse to not do it over regular PvP but that’s all it is. If you log in solo you will jump in a group of random and more then not fight randoms.
i jumped in solo a few times and often come across people in a full clan of 4.

I think you might be experiencing the same glitch I am.
When you look at your history, do you see any clan confrontation activity rewards there?
I do beside most matches, but none of it is actually getting recorded on my account.
I see a “rating” number.
I didn’t think this was a bug, but that I needed to complete the “confrontation tutorial” in the proper 4x4 Confrontation mode in order to complete the “Confrontation Challenge” which is always unavailable every time I log on. Presently it says it’ll available in an half an hour.
I’m totally sick of chasing this carrot. If they don’t want me to play clan wars, great. I don’t want to play it either. But, if it’s supposed to be the center of their new and improved universe, they should make the mode available all of the time. Why isn’t it anyway? What’s the purpose of this stupid gated access?
I hate this update. Total BS. Am I supposed to sit here and wait all day for that window of opportunity to open up. How long is it even open for?
Ya, “Great Update! Thank you Dev Team.” Another real winner.

i think its open for like an hour or so. but i also mentioned this in a comment before on another post but ill post it here to.
i really dont understand this either because its not an offical clan wars mode, at least in my eyes. let me explain.
you have a league score for confrontation mode and you can advance up the leagues to gain reputation and ranks, but no matter how high you get in these ranks you cannot earn uranium. the mode is strictly designed to be a practice mode for newer players or people looking to participate in clan wars and its designed to help them become familiar with the mode.
so my question is… why make it a timed mode? your really gaining nothing from it being timed. the only resource earned is scrap, you cannot even earn uranium and its not tied into the clan wars ranking system at all. so is it really necessary to wall off these missions behind a mode that shouldnt even be timed in the first place?
40min sessions with 120min breaks I think?
I think that’s awful. If they don’t want to give out badges anymore they should just discontinue them, instead of playing this “When I say jump, you say how high” subordination mind game. Not cool.

It’s CW training.
CWs are on a schedule and they don’t want to burn people out.
This is normal to CW guys and will become normal for everyone else. (Or I guess they can skip that part of the game)
You do realize the tutorial challenge will still be there if it takes you a day or a week. You should have unlimited time to complete the tutorial.
It’s not a race.
I’m not their fucking puppet.
…but I played along anyway. I went ahead and wrote the time it would be open on a piece of paper like a good little servant, and then when 8:40 came along (I don’t have an in-game clock by the way) I opened up the tab and it said, “Mission ends in 7 seconds…tic-toc-ding! It’s over…next mission open in an hour and whatever.” WTF? I was like one minute late. By my clock it’s still only 8:48.
I was ready to throw my mouse through the goddmn monitor.

I thought it was just the tutorial too, but I made it past the first one with no change. Now there’s another one for a crate.
Also, my new clan mate has been able to contribute to the challenges, and we both contributed to the tutorial challenge.
Did you recently leave another clan?
No, but my p2p alt did. I suspect that’s somehow effected the other accounts that run through my IP address. I could fiddle with my son’s or daughter’s abandoned accounts to see how they behave, but I’m too pissed at the moment to enjoy playing the game as much as I’m enjoying watching it burn on Reddit.
I know. It’s macabre, but I’m pissed and the vengeance the reddit/steam insurrection is supplying feels a little like recompense. I can’t actually slap the developers in the back of the head myself, and ask them, “WTF, ass-hat? Don’t you realize you are in the public service industry? Entertain me or piss-off with that.” So the only satisfaction available is watching the hate and disgrace bond to their brand.
It’s so messed up, and widely despised, that I suspect they’ll amend it, patch it, fix it, in the near future. Despite the Monkey’s lone apologies and assurance that it’s actually “Great,” it isn’t, and even if Monkey doesn’t realize it (good for him), I think the developers might actually get the picture…I hope.

I’m waiting until the glitches are worked out before I form an opinion.
It looks like once my points actually start counting we should do ok as just a two person band playing the way we normally do (plus the new mode, which I like).
But it’s hard to say for sure while I’m cut out of the action.
I do wish they would do more testing before launching big new features. But I also kind of expect problems with a game this small.
