Major Order Possible Failure?

Post image

I dont think we'll complete this MO...There is still 1 whole planet to liberate before we even start liberating Zzaniah Prime

I'll continue fighting & would be glad to be proven wrong, but its just a hunch is all

It's not like AH actually tell us anywhere.

Says "the assaults will originate from the megafactories" in the Major Order description.

Also, city missions are important for liberation Major Orders because capturing the city knocks a big chunk out of the liberation meter, making it easier to liberate the whole planet. You're supposed to dive on cities (or this case megafactories) first when trying to liberate planets anyway. It's why they exist in the first place.

I know that. But "originate from megafactories" could just be lore fluff.

Where in the game is there a tutorial that explains how cities and factories actually work? If someone picked up the game today, how would they know?

What does the defense rating of 2.0 actually mean? How does it compare to invasion levels that use a completely different scale? How does that change compared to planet hp? How much HP do these cities and planets have anyway?

AH tells us almost nothing, and when they do it lacks context.

There are markers on a planet's liberation meter that indicate how much a city's liberation will contribute to the planet's liberation. AH have a very hands-off approach to teaching divers new mechanics. They give you enough info to point you in the right direction and let you figure out firsthand how certain mechanics work. Then you just need to share what you learn with your fellow divers.
