Good morning classmates,
It's a time to celebrate that Defender's Training Program has finally come around again, it was genuinely surprising we wouldn't get one last year but, it's not a big problem since we finally got one, but it was at this point that we kind of need to pull back and realize that, the content is still pretty much limited on what ways we can level, due to the fact that the open missions were nerfed into the graves so you can't farm off of them unless you're fine resetting the DR each and every time. However, even after that mechanic was added, where you could reset the DR, it has killed morality for leveling.
So as many of you know, there was a DTP event where everyone was spamming Open Missions, and thus, understandably, they were nerfed. And look, I am all for balancing the game so it's not so easily broken or easily farmable for the players, but there were some open missions that were nerfed that didn't necessarily deserve it, even if they possibly gave more XP than War on Peace.
After the inevitable nerf to War on Peace, Destroids Rise Again was also nerfed, which was odd considering the fact that, Destroids Rise Again has a larger capacity to fail than War on Peace, which is easy enough to plow through if you have enough people, which, by the way, judging from how many people ran War on Peace during the DTP event, it was an absolute breeze.
Destroids Rise Again receiving a nerf was more of a countermeasure than a 'needed nerf', the problem is, Destroids Rise Again has a larger capacity to fail for these reasons:
This is another way to stretch content in order to have replayability. Now are these Open Missions still played in DTP?
Meeeeeeeehyea. Maybe?
Nowhere nearly as much, if anything it's more of a side activity to relieve players from running alerts/story content so much.
Anyways, feel free to post your comments, you're free to disagree if you'd like, I just don't get why there needed to be a nerf (through the XP given) on nearly every open mission widely played by the playerbase.

Destroids Rise Again receiving a nerf was more of a countermeasure than a 'needed nerf', the problem is, Destroids Rise Again has a larger capacity to fail for these reasons:
- DRA needs a greater amount of players in order to guarantee a win
- Players must be well-enough built in order to deal enough damage, take enough damage, or heal enough.
- Players need to communicate, whereas in WoP, it's not as necessary
- It takes even longer to do than War on Peace, approximately 10 minutes to 15 minutes on average if players do everything correctly
