There's hope
Nicolae Crefelean
It was late night when I chose a battle where I could fight without moving. I had full energy (700+700) and the top damage in the 40th minute of the battle was about 12 millions, in D4. Quite an opportunity to try to get a BH medal, right?
I decided to move after all, so I can also use Ghost boosters for such an attempt. Most of the times I don't try to get these medals because I don't have any packs, nor tons of energy bars, nor a high energy recovery. And most times when I do try, I fail because others just overpass me.
So I moved to the allied country, I enabled my boosters (ghost and +50% damage), I used all my energy on the battlefield and I inflicted about 52 million damage. I have +100% boosters but as I said, most of the times I try it doesn't end well and I was cautious.
About 20 minutes later a player having almost 200k strength did around 30 million damage. I thought about writing a private message after the end of the battle, just to make sure I passed my disappointment to the player having almost 900 BH medals while I didn't even reach 70 in over 5 years. Then I imagined writing an article about that disappointment. I was settled for the title "The strong, the weak and the hopeless" - me being among the weak, of course.
Minutes later, the player having 12 millions at the time I decided to try my luck, pushed the FIGHT button and surpassed the other player by a little bit. And what a player - almost 1000 BH medals. So now I had 2 very strong players to monitor and, in my experience, even the chance to have at least one (surprise) other player at the end of the battle to try to grab the BH.
The surprise was... both kept their damage and allowed me to get the BH - no private messages, no communication at all. So the article I initially thought about no longer made sense, but then I thought: why would I consider passing someone my disappointment, but stop from writing about my appreciation?
So here it is, an open letter of appreciation for both players in the battle - EternalWalk and turturica. Thank you both for your generosity. I know the BH medals don't belong to anyone but the person who has the most damage at the end of the battle, but having watched the progress I have the feeling they both looked at my profile and decided to let me try my luck. Someone else could've taken the medal, but no one did. Thank you! 🙂
Of course this happened because there are much fewer players online between 2-5 A.M. Central European Time, but it would've been very easy for both the high-level players (legends) to overpass me. The game feels more and more individualistic after all the changes Plato brought in recent years, but it's not all that. There's still hope for weaker players, because there's still decency among the strong ones.
Thanks again! 😁

Or maybe those were scripts 😁
EternalWalk was definitely there, then went offline about 10 minutes later.
The fact you need "decency" to even have a chance shows how fucking messed up this game's mechanics are.
Indeed, decency should not compensate for the questionable game mechanics. But I appreciate the fact that decent people still exist in the game.
Few "quality" players remains in the game... I didn't try anymore to get BH or SH (CH is forbiden)...
E posibil sa fi dat scriptul pt ei 😀
Tocmai am răspuns mai sus că EternalWalk a fost în luptă și a ieșit din joc vreo 10 minute mai târziu. 😃
rautaciosi sunteti si voi - atunci omul a facut un articol care multumeste utilizatorilor pentru ca folosesc asemenea scripturi care nu fura BH si multumeste si scriptului ca nu se modifica singur 🙂
concluzia - there's still hope, if you're a hopeless nolifer that's logged on erep between 2-5AM CET? 😉
Sure, have it your way.
Nope, never happened to me. Somehow I'm stupid enough to try again every 1-2 months, there's always a stronger mofo leaving me in the dust after I've spent 30-50 EBs. If I'm lucky, they hit early enough so I get to keep some of the EBs.
I tried SH, that's even worse.
I still consider this a very lucky happening, but it still required the understanding of 2 players to get the BH. 😃
🙂
Congrats!
Thanks! 🙂
You were lucky this time, but, there is no hope for non VISA players here, sadly.
No hope even for MASTERCARD players? 🙁
Even they are struggling here,but , they have bigger chances.😛
I was in the same situation and Turturica let me win the BH. So, it's not an exception, a script or something else.
It's decency and common sense.
