U mean when #1 clan can sunk 3 other top 10 clan & still have hp left? :D
And even tho so strong, still need to blackmail small clan to control the politic?

Clan merging facilitated OP'ed clans in a very short space of time instead of ,like most clans, starting from scratch and work your way to number 1

Leonard Lin's worship of the false god Mammon has blinded him from the righteous path. But he has built his house on sand, and soon all shall collapse beneath his feet. He takes away the once free in-game chat and now expects people to pay ocho to even talk to each other, but what you won't hear him talking about is his little game Mafia Empire...look upon the works of the great game guru Leonard Lin, ye mighty, and tremble!

Re: Where Did BS Went Wrong ??
I feel what killed it most was this sinks formula and this power clans !
What War Points made sure was there was concept of well managed clans ! but now its only about creating multies ocho whorring keeping few level 250+ in clan and enjoying sinks , the whole fun of well managed and other things is over , Clan Power and War Points abolition made clan merges and just creating power clans rather than well managed clans.

Re: Where Did BS Went Wrong ??
The game tried to simplify itself way too much.
No revenge attack, no player snipping, removed weekly events like fog of war etc.
They started the new story line which was pretty cool but they never actually completed it. WHEN IS AREOS 3.0 COMING (WITH STORY)? :P
Also, they tried to copy the game as "Sky Ocean".
And let's face it, every game has a life period and it clearly lived a very long-long life.

It went wrong when Tylers stopped enforcing their own rules and permitted cheating. If you report a cheat now the devs just close the ticket

Its not only to do with clan war, BS3 was a mixed update, it improved many areas but others notably PvP got worse. (you can switch to BS2 but new players are unlikely to know that)
Tyler also made attempts to address things that confused or annoyed newbies but at the same time combat got much more complex with skills, slowdowns and speed ups.
I think the main issue is just old age.

Re: Where Did BS Went Wrong ??
Personally i will say that Tyler failed to anticipate the changing in many aspects of the game. For example, many people play games using android (aka their gadget). Tyler provided the mobile version of BS but didn't provide enough effort to make it at least as inviting as the desktop version. The mobile version lags a lot (probably the network i am using is responsible for this as well), there's no facility to change ship and access the second captain for dual class captains, and the inability to salvage fort when you're admiral/CM. Simply speaking, the mobile version is just used as 'temporary' platform for playing the game, the main platform is still in desktop version.
Another thing related to the term 'failed to anticipate thing' is that Tyler didn't focus on how to keep the game evolving. I remember another game my wife played in desktop back in 2011 called castleville. It was released as FB game after BS and my wife wasn't really into it. But it is evolving. providing better gui, tranformed itself as one of android's game, and now she plays it everyday, as fanatic as i am playing BS. When did Tyler provide the latest update of BS? probably 2 years ago. Any differences? not much.. How will Tyler expect people to stay? One ocho every 5 days won't do much.
So i guess unless something a bit drastic is done, BS will go down in history as just one of the games that eventually fail to catch up with the demand of its loyal players. I've been playing BS since 2009. Don't have any plans to quit playing anytime soon, but probably soon i'll be the last one playing, and the prospect is.. alarming.

Re: Where Did BS Went Wrong ??
For me, it will be the pace of the game is too slow.
By using daily AP for war, you get about 4-5% EXP per day, which, you will only level up after 20-30 days.
Every 5 levels then you get to have new toys aka weapons / parts / etc, which means you only get to try new stuffs every 4-5 months.
Of course you can ocho and gain a new level everyday, but let's face it, how many new weapons / parts / etc after level 230?

Re: Where Did BS Went Wrong ??
Wonder if dev even care our feedback. Long time now no new item, always only the outfit. Meanwhile until now still have item in wiki not available in game:
Air Curtain
★★★★★★ 215 700 5,000 0 5 450 - Ember Item
Equilibrium
★★★★★★★★ 250 1,000 0 0 0 1,000 - Coming soon
Weapon not so bad, but part really lacking.
Figurehead stop at lvl 230
Sail stop at lvl 225
Stabilizer stop at lvl 210
Hull stop at lvl 230 but if u wanted speed hull, continue use the lvl 170 or lvl 195 hull
Suppose to reduce member limit gradually but it happen so slowly until now still the top clan overly powerful.
