Nah, changes just slip through the cracks. When we release a patch for CoH:EF, we run into the same problem. When you have many developers submitting many changes, and some of those changes affect or negate other changes, it gets hard to keep track of everything, and I would say writing the damn changelog is the hardest thing to do when releases a big patch
This was a significant change, so "stuff slip through the cracks" doesn't apply here IMO.I would go as far to say that some folks who just purchased WFA-OKW may feel ripped off.
First zeroing arty, then volks "fuse time" etc and now the jagdtiger.
What's next? Probably removing the whole faction from the game
I don't care about this nerf
(Though I would perfer decreasing the range instead) . But the developers are acting as if they don't understand anything about game design or balance themselves , and instead react to every rant by either a frustrated new player, or some top player who is asking to "Buff" his/her winning platform
(favorite faction) . And then they decide to make some drastic changes, "yeah let's keep our kids happy".
This is a nice mindset, but it can be done more professionally.
Btw, I'm not calling all balance threads as "noobish rants". There are some professional and well-thought-out content on the balance forums.
