I gave up being a rally lead about 12mths ago and totally changed my mindset to being the best joiner I could be, made such a difference to my mental state as I am now happy again playing the game in a smaller alliance having fun again, zero stress or pressure

c'mon guys, this game selling two things: 1) basic gaming chat interface with people around the world and 2) a feeling being powerful and smash weaker players, or alliances or entire state. there is nothing exiting in game play anymore, lots of bugs, unfair matchmaking, tons of casino like events. so we only have some people we like or love or hate keeping us in sos thats all

I think that rally leaders are unhappy people😂 it’s too hard, you need to not only spend a LOT of money but also time and study the game mechanics and new functions all the time, it’s not fun and very tiring

Totally feel what your saying, been talking about quitting for a over a year now, finally the last 2 weeks I made my mind up, the only thing that hurts is the people im leaving behind but the writing is on the wall for this game, the last two weeks have felt great, not being tied down by 3 accounts 1 where I was RL , freeeeeeeedom is what you will get by finally saying enough is enough

2 whale players in my alliance just quit the game because of time and money spent on the game. 10,000 a month is just ridiculous. Not many people in the present day economy has that kind of money to spend on one game, and as you said too, the epidemic is over. I'm not sure the devs understand that people has to work in order to pay for their game to begin with. I know Nexus is pushing a lot of people to consider quitting, because it just takes too much time and too many days to play it. I enjoyed having days off. Now it is genuinely impossible if you want to keep up with everything.

Thanks for sharing this with us Wacko 😘 it's okay to stop overfeeding the greedy devs and just enjoy the game at your own pace... you bring us the best quality content here and it doesn't matter if you're a rally lead or backup lead/strong joiner... we don't need to compare ourselves to anyone and it's enough just to enjoy the game and cherrypick events not make it another full time job :) keep up the great job on your own terms, way to go!!! 🥰💪🏻

Great video. Thanks for sharing and putting things in perspective! 🌷🌷

I can relate to this video WAY too much bro. Earlier this year I was spending $2,000 a month myself and was pushing pretty hard. Went from that to even $5,000+ per month some months, and the gap is STILL getting bigger somehow 🤣

I’m not a rally lead but I know what rally leads go through for the alliance. I do my best to make sure our rally leads at least have fun and don’t stress them too much by helping in the planning and checking on what they think about the event too. Nothing makes me happier than seeing our rally leads are happy. Most of our strong players do not spend in the game anymore yet they still play with fun.

I've never been able to keep up with the spending of a rally leader but attacker/tanker is a fun combo with less stress. Appreciate your videos. Thanks, Armed.

You can still be a strong rally leader but in a weaker alliance. If you play in a powerful alliance, any slowdown in spending money will be visible. In my alliance we have 3 leaders and they are often helpless. It's frustrating for them because they keep spending money and sometimes we come across an alliance where 1 player destroys everything and even a triple raid with good timing cannot defeat him. The developers have chosen a path of no return, there will be more and more events and more and more often. Now so many things affect the combat system that I wonder if it all really works well. What's the point of being an average spending player? During this MIGO, 15 people in my alliance left the game :(

totally with you on this. i havent spent a dime since covid and back in the day I could tank maxed players but now puff, one attack, all my 15m troops gone

Maybe someone knows. Who are these whales? Just saw the other day someone has spent $500K? I don’t care if i was Musk wealthy, I could not justify anywhere near that on a video game that could end tomorrow??????

I’ve been the strongest player in my state for a while now, but I had an extremely busy month at work and had someone else take control of my account for the month. I couldn’t believe how much stress it removed from my life. I’m back in control, but I’m taking the same route you are. A bit of spending, but nothing like before. No matter how much you spend, there will always be a bigger dog. Might as well spend what you’re comfortable with and hope the matchmaking is kind to you

I just started over. After introduction of limitless heroes i quit. Now i am in a new state starting over. No need to spend massive amounts and just as competitive. Just lower ranks.

Self fulfilling prophecy - The whales are more less the guys who trigger the clock for new stuff, as they rush every time with a lot of cash spent to get there, just to fall into the pit the dug up themself, to see the next untested crap feature to spend on...till the noticed, that investment needed curve gets higher and higher to remain at the top, till they quit doing so. The moment they introduced RNG into the game in terms of bundles and items like tempest arms, etc. was the point "on that i will not spend...and thats the case to this day"...the introduction of paywall heros which demolish everything, etc... They nerf heros without losing a zero word, like angelica and other heros and every f2p resonate hero you got, they cancelled the option to get some fragments to develop them further, so yeah....its useless getting them if you dont invest anyway. congrats KG, ah yes please start another 3M top up and another 20 events at the same time, the last top up stopped already 2 days ago...

This time comes for us all. Just a matter of when, and what made us crack. I still spend, but a fraction of what i did before. What the developers don't realize is that as rally leaders spend less, they fight in less challenging battles and often the battles are still fun. so it just takes enough people slowing down and they been force a more enjoyable time for themselves. Before, we were chasing being at the top. now it's not possible, so not worth it to try.

Wacko, I salute your decision, you courage, your strength, your indefatigability. 😘

Wacko, please make a video for F2P/light spender about the new colab, if it is worth spending money and time or if the bonuses that this skin provides are so minimal that it will only make a difference for rally leaders🙏

I quit be a RL long time ago, and just focus to be Strong Joiner… looking game now lol, spend 21 k to gen 1 heli, over 20 k for behe, I’m not sure how much on t12… and now you get all that half of price in effortless!!! So what’s the point chase and rush when after some time you get all that in half price

The players with all the money make it unplayable for the rest of us. They always complain on how they are really bored to customer service. Then the admins make new events and easier ways to get skins😢😢

I was forced by SOS to not be a rally lead when they banned me from spending. Since then I started my own company and I haven't logged in for almost 2 months now. Winter is coming however 😅.

Welcome to the club wacko 😊

Now I want to play command and conquer and starcraft but the time leeching of sos made real good games just park up on the self . I barely play now and very happy , just hard to quit fully cause of friends but it ia happening soon

So glad I refused to get sucked into the scam that is SoS 😂 I'm on such a relaxed alliance other people vacation with us just to have a breather.

I feel your point 100%

I miss this game but I agree. MVP is still close to my heart

I agree it’s too much time too be rally leader, and also then they open too much events and stuff, and the money went x10 now because much quiting game and they need same money in, lesser peeps price will go up

Way to many events it's why how much I spend fluctuates a lot I like being a 2nd rally lead in old strong aliance(no super heroes) but even being a joiner you need to spend big now miss the old days

Rally leader from alliance quit bcoz of too many things to upgrade, he can't keep up and loosing rallys to big whales frustrated him, now my alliance left with 10 players. I want to quit, bcoz its taking too much time of ours on working days

Im happy as a strong joiner..I have stronger gorrila and aircraft then alot of leaders and I always stay at highest plasma level..I let the leaders worry about all the other stuff lol

I agree with everything said here. This game is just not the same anymore. I can't follow with so many events,not to mention it's getting more and more expensive. So many good players quit because of that.

You forgot to comment that the reason why they keep releasing features and making the game more and more expensive are those players wasting their money in the game non stop. Its simple

BRUH! I love C&C games!!! 😍

As a rally leader in a 370 day old state, I've been bored of the game for approximately 350 days.

for me i quit after it went from 1 hour playtime to over 8 hours for keep up with every damn thing that whats going on and even after that it become to one point where you stop spending for it wont get you anyting as he explaines spend 10k 100k spend like 1 milion wont make you happy

One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! But seriously though, screw the devs. They just changed Nanami's skills (again) a few days ago without notification (or maybe I'm just not paying attention) and I'm not even the nitpicky kinda guy in this game. I never used her in Trap and am just happy with whatever rewards I get but the moment I mentioned in it State Chat, everybody loses their minds. It was hilarious AF 🤪

As someone who plays the account of a rally lead relatively regularly, I gotta say that in the last few months sos got more strategic then before. Before the newest heroes would do the job, but now I need to learn who to resonate with who, who to use when and against who, what tempest to use and all that. It's way more than it used to be and I think it's still pretty strategic. I think your problem wacko is the fact that you're in a very strong alliance, and when being in one you will always fight even stronger people. I'm in a smaller alliance and while we do sometimes lose due to tactics, we can still win, even the rally lead acc can beat some ppl that are quite a lot stronger than him just by using the right heroes. Either way, just wondering, did you cut the video when attacking those trucks closer to the end or is there a way to skip the searching after the truck you wanna attack? Cus it's soo annoying for me because I have to search for it like 3 times because the game sends me to like the 300s states for some dumb reason.

I'm building my level 25 settlement after playing for 22 days. I only spent $2.16 usd on this game 😂 im hoping that whatever has told me about an inactive leade. i hope i can kick him soon and build what we donated that he never built. he also has the lowest power level out of all of us so he needs to go 😂

I guess you are not the only one with less investment - in value slots Either the win rate has been reduced or the player invests less.

I played this game too.

Congrats to that decision. Your relatives will enjoy more wacko ❤

You can only get cencer or tumor in this game

All valued items which costed thousand dollars before now become trash. I was throwing my money out of the window for nothing😂😂😂

I quit after 1 year and half. It was GREAT time, but I also feels good now.

You did well Wacko. They dont deserve our money. And so many people quitting game. My rally leader who has 90 collector level and 500k island points quit today

I miss cc😢

I'm just laughing while watching your vedio pal,,it feels like you want to quit the game,,but you spend a lot of bundles,😂😂😂so you need to continue playing even become a joiner 😂😂

Play "Doomsday:Last survivor"😉

Greets troll bully

look at it this way, all the issue with this game is from people, they want to spend thousand and in the end they end up quitting cause there is always someone that can spend more, ruining the game for F2P players and driving the Devs to be more greedy and come up with more money spending events. i play for free and totally fine with it never had the issues you all talk about just accept that hey i am not top1 cause i will not spend this much and you are golden. P.S if we all do that you can imagine what the devs will be pushed to do. but it is what it is.

bruh VEGA you did this to wacka

State of survival sucks!!! It’s similar to buying a boat… love it when you first start but then realize you entered an endless money pit . Which makes the day you and any other player who has ever become hypnotized by this stupid game decides to quit for good , it’s the best feeling in the world . Like a weight off your shoulders . This game is worse than a full time job . And the worst part is in the end all that money you spent is gone for nothing to show for it other then a strong digital base in a game that’s worth a whole lot of nada!👎 if anyone is a hacker reading this , please do the world a favor and hack state of survivals app and shut it down !!! 😂❤

Rally leader is hard job 😂😂😂

Not only HQ skin, chief gear fkin so hard to reach on dominator 😂😂😂 svs 100 alts blocked the capital 😂😂😂😂😂 first migo release wall destroyer is fked up everyone 😂😂

lol reminds me of my very first game called civilization 1 by sid meiers

My saving grace is the fact i lost the phone last year,and now i saved thousands of euros😅 PS...i was a very low spender

Some whales are just A holes tbh

Попробуй прокачать свою армию без вложений реальных денег 😂

You spend like crazy just for Mobile game ?? Then fun fact is, after spend much like crazy, those game not in International LIVE Tournament, sucks 😂HELL NO. Better you play PC game, example, DOTA, or COD, then spend. Much fun with friends or team. No spend no problem, skill by your hands/finger. Not money... And me too, im getting too slow to spend lately

I rather spend 10k usd for something else 😂😅

I cant believe people are speding the amounts your talking about, thats crazy stupid amounts of cash, i stopped spending just 4 weeks ago as i just dont think the gameplay is worth the time and effert and money you put into it,, you spend huge amounts of cash for what ? There is no pleasure in playing this game anymore

playign this game is supporting CCP

lol you want better mental health stop playing pay to win gotcha games you silly dorks
