earth doesn't battle other flights much anymore because the dom leads find it too tiring, which I think is fair. it hardly has anything to do with the loss of wve

if participating in dom is too tiring to them then why are they dom leads

NAYRT a question that could apply to several flights (cough nature cough)

lol this is true

I mean, earth still runs several big spectacular pushes per year. Most of their internal focus is on encouraging in flight participation; they have in flight raffles for any push, profit or conquest, and the prizes in flight are REALLY good. Like, usually even better than their OOF raffle prizes good.

literally every earth raffle i've participated in since moving gave me a prize. usually it's a good prize too like a gene pack, i also won a skin once

tbh organizing battles IS exhausting. It takes a ton of your time and energy for planning and during the battle itself it's a lot of mental energy to monitor everything and make sure things are flowing correctly and you're keeping an eye on the enemy flight. Intense battles are rough on a Dom Team, it's not unusual for Dom Teams to hibernate for like two weeks after a stressful push because they've given so much mental energy to Flightrising that they need a break before getting back into it.

ok but it hasnt been two weeks its been over two years

Not in Earth, but as someone who has actually organized three battles - do it yourself if you're so smart then :)

Regular pushes are easy but battles are an entirely different thing that, frankly, is a lot work for little extra payoff as compared to a regular push, especially if you do not win.

im a dom org for another flight dude i also organize battles

some of us actually like this game. battles arent about “payoff” theyre a challenge thats fulfilling for their own sake and people want them. if you dont find them fulfilling then you should step down and let somebody who does like them play

NAYRT

"little extra payoff"?? no one i know who's into dom gives a shit about the dom benefits lol frankly we'd all still be doing it if there weren't benefits attached to placing.

genuinely, if you feel like battles are not worth it compared to regular conquest pushes i question why you're a dom org who organizes battles (instead of focusing on fest or something). according to the big dom survey the vast majority of people who are into dom like battling. presumably because it's a competitive event like any other game or sport.

nayrt

i would trade an entire year's worth of "regular pushes" for a single battle week and i don't think i'm alone in that outlook!

i don't think wanting to battle every 2nd year is an unreasonable goal for any flight to have. i think the teams that find this overwhelming need to recruit more organizers.

in earth's case, it really seems like they've got everything else running like a well-oiled machine so if they can figure out terms that would convince other flights to battle them they really could have it all. why you would not want to work on the one area of improvement for your flight's dom experience is beyond me.
