Nova: Space Armada

I played on seven servers just to make sure it was not this old gaming-grinder mind running wild. I have been gaming since the late 70's at home and in the arcadias around the world. This is the first genocidal game design I have ever seen! If you do not build an Alliance with cash burners, you will burn. Forced to have 3 or 4 main alliances only. This could be a selective choice for four alliances hard programed, so people do not waste time and effort creating an alliance for friends, family, and other reasons for starting one. After time you will find old servers that have multiple, but only cash burning Commanders can battle in any of the Main Events, leaving the rest unable to enjoy the whole game, until they start spending. In these they group all the strongest Commander in each alliance to do these events and rotation system, but it still only those with what they consider to be strong enough. New servers every week, and after one week or two servers go dead; no new accounts sent to it. You do not have a choice of what server you start on, stone3 forces all new accounts to a new servers. If you move to another server before L14 you lose the ability to move after Elysium unless it is an approved transfer to the same alliance on another server. After L14 you cannot change server, until Elysium Event ends, if you have not moved before L14. This event has no timeline to start; it is based on server progression. You can go to a server that is of the same development level or higher. If you fight to have multiple choices of Alliances on a server, the people from Europe and surrounding nations start to slow down any alliances leveling around L8 or nine. I have the same experience on six servers in six alliances I joined. It felt as though all servers were full of Bots in a way. Top alliances filled with 5 or more 10Million strength commanders in less than 2 days. I am a grinder used to 3-day raids or longer, until those games flatlined with lazy people feeling they were too important to have to earn anything in a game, paying a 15-20 a month cash subscription fee, no in game purchases. I could have spent 2,000 in cash to make a Commander to 35M strength in less than 2 weeks, I am not full of vanity, greed, or the need for controlling others. Nor that stupid or wasteful with cash. Joining a strong alliance does not guarantee you will be on a team for any of the Main Events or Boss fights either. This is Stone3 and Bear Games support teams’ idea of what you should do, and the answer for all things bad in their games. They condoned threats of physical and racial violence towards players. Even with seven screenshots of seven separate occasions of this behavior prove it goes on. Over the span of 2 months. Muting a players account instead of deleting the account, keeping a cash spender is priority. This conduct is prominent in players who spend heavily and are in the top three. These players also think they own a server and all the other people who play. I created an L11 alliance, it was a struggle and seventy out of eighty-four members. Had their hands out for rewards and an unwillingness to earn them. No, they did not have a 20M+ commander either-as they view us as unworthy of playing in the first place. The members just seemed to not care about anything alliance related. It is also a game where people will not communicate unless you have a high value commander, so a very snobbish put off community as well. Yes, they do chat it up in World Chat. Seven servers in six different alliances and this was the same experience on every server and every alliance, like the top alliance was following a script, a rinse repeat feel to each new server I tried. As I said before, I made an alliance on the seventh server for the first time. I wanted to see if it was just the leaders being too bullish in getting teamwork established and were not a good leader? As all you soft people would say today. To see if the top alliance would form the same way as they have six times earlier? Nope! Same experiences were just like clock work. I had four rules, 1. Work as a team no matter where you come from. 2. Communication, as this is the first step in teamwork. 3.Be mindful of others, ask a question if something does not make sense. 4. Donate daily; easily earned in game currencies. The only use allowed of alliance funds is for alliance progression; no one can withdraw any alliance funds. The other oddity is Main Events and Boss’s start in the day for Europe as they use UTC time, it makes it around 0200 to 0600 local times through North America. So, Events and Bosses are over before you can even have a chance to start to join one. Rewards are merger at best. The packages value for recourses received are a clear red flag of a major cash grab, even for PAY2WIN games. Graphics great, mechanics are decent for auto turn combat. Cost prohibited for the majority. Very inefficient support protection from abusive spenders as this is where most abuse starts. That I witnessed on seven servers: the others trying to defend verbal abuse. So yes, class genocide game appropriately describes the designed outcomes of this game. You cannot grind for a week and have a 10M strength Commander with over a 1M strength fleet, it takes 10Ks plus four resources plus a Legendary ship Hull for just one ship, nine in a fleet. Your cost for Legendary Admiral is 99.99 in cash, and you must level it. Unless Europe has a special law in place where these types of games offer drastic discounts a person will spend two hundred in cash for one fleet over a million strength, keep in mind Commanders can reach into the Billions and with time and burning of cash a trillion. So why all the big rush on server development and limitations of alliances? The speed of new servers every week? The end of new accounts to old servers, over 298 servers, with new accounts only going to the three newest servers? Any STEAM with any integrity would have red flagged this game in a month, STEAM as a company should have done away with these two companies and another as they focus on the youth and the youth are spending faster than the parents understanding it is going to a game. Yes, it is a choice to play, but what choice does Stone3 offer here? Multiple hidden Locks of to all content progression as well. Information given by Stone3 on events limited to none. You do not even know there are two Boss fights with great rewards. Stone3 lists no information, these spawn encounters centered on the European UTC times. The event calendar is just a date nothing else.
