bonus.com is parked and I doubt the owners would let it it go for anything less than 5 figures so that's out the window. Old players seem to have no problem finding the game from google searches eg "bonus battlefield" but that trickle is a finite source. We are in need of a bolder marketing plan eventually

You only need 2-3 others to get kills.

When the game first came back, everyone was slow as fuck. Me and a handful of others were the only ones who pre-teled and landed on target right as they used ers. That's why when I started playing with AOW we would clear the map of anyone willing to fight with 4.

Now almost everyone is on relatively even footing. They haven't quite mastered how to consistently land on target before ers but everyone is getting close.

That being said, if people went for kills, kills could be had any time 5 tanks targeted someone. Problem is that now everyone is so worried about points that they switch targets every screen as if they're PPH'ing in a tournament.

If people went for kills consistently, everyone would have so much more fun in the game.

If anyone can put together a marketing plan and strategy, I would be willing to help finance it. I'm sure a few others would help, too.

We're not talking tens of thousands of dollars, but it's possible to reach out to 10k+ relevant people for less than $500. If someone can come up with a marketing strategy like that, I'm sure we could start discussions with Sailor Wolf to see how we could make this work.

Agreed.

I played for the first time in months the other day. Participated in a random multi-color raid(4-6 people) on cujo in castles and obviously I was slower/reacted slower than the others. However, the thing I noticed is that people flat out do not know how to raid. Of course, that could be due to people trying to pph during the raid and/or not going hard for the kill etc. "Show up, shoot, teleport, repeat" like the old desert mob days where you could kill by sheer force with minimal skill required. Too many times I was middle of the pack in arriving on the screen and still ended up being the the first and or only one to radar and then the dang near only one trying to steal the fuel. The one time I managed to steal and catch him insufficient or close to it, only one or two showed up and shot until after we wasted about 30 armors and he found fuel. The thing that got me is that most of them were what I would consider higher level players.

TL;DR- Most people suck at raiding these days.

I'll save the other "high horse" stuff as to why the game isn't nearly as fun.

i was there for that mob, you cant expect randoms newbs to be able to fuel jack like some of us are able to, besides you me and sherman, the rest were no1 i knew at-least. also when months ago when you played seb, the fuel distribution was much different. there are a lot more higher fuel barrels than there was when the game first came out, making it easier to survive 3-4 people raids

HONOR was there too, can't deny that I was pretty proud of myself for roughing it out. Lost a huge amount of shields on the initial screen that got everyone on me(35-40?).. Anywho I thought I was a goner a few times due to map conditions, hadn't been on the edge of my seat like that in awhile. Thank you all, honestly. :smoke:
