Next patch: War Spoils Update

source:https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/comment/247169#Comment_247169

We are nearly set to release the War Spoils Update live. Unless there are any unexpected delays, release notes for this update are scheduled to go up by the end of this week.

The next balance update that will incorporate many of the changes outlined in the May Balance Preview Mod is scheduled to be released closer to the end of the month.

Closer to the end of May or the end of June ?

Kyle posted it in June so the big balance update (with May Balance Preview Mod changes) will be end of June/start of July.

End of June? Sick. This reminds me the times when we were waiting half a year for a patch. It's even worse this time though becouse everybody knows how epic new patch is and thus nobody plays the game.

NEW WAR SPOILS SYSTEM

ARRIVING JUNE 7th

Changes to Loot Drops

Firstly the system will no longer drop duplicate items. Additionally, you now only receive items for factions that you own (Prior to this update drops were biased towards the currently played army but were possible for all armies.). You may now also receive a new currency called Supply as a Warspoils drop. You can use Supply to buy items from the in game store such as bulletins, skins, or commanders.


Changes to the Post Game Rewards Screen

You can tell exactly when you will get your next reward from the loot bar which is shown in the player card.
* Each game you play you will receive 1500 points. 500 Bonus Points are awarded to the match winners.
* Once you have 6000 loot points you’ll get a loot drop that will contain a random item from an army you own, or an amount of Supply.


Changes to the In-game Store

You can now purchase Intel Bulletins, Victory Strikes, and Decals from the in game store using Supply. Simply go to the items tab and select the category you are interested in. There is a drop down filter so you can easily browse bulletins of the type you are interested in. You can also use the search feature to find what you are looking for.


Changes to Inventory

Players can have only 1 type of any item equipped in a single loadout now. This is mostly in reference to Intel Bulletin stacking since players now have quick and easy access to the entire bulletin set via the in game store.

Converting Your Duplicate items to Supply

You will have the option to convert all your existing duplicates into Supply from the Inventory Screen. Simply select Show Salvageable Items and then click the Salvage All button. Optionally, you can also salvage your duplicates one by one by right clicking on a duplicate and clicking "Salvage".



Supply Value for Salvaging Duplicates

All duplicates are salvaged at 500 Supply each. This was done because we want to reward the time players invested into the game over how lucky they may have been. Indeed, while the number of items you ended up getting is a direct function of time / how much you have played, the nature of those items that dropped was really purely random – and it will still mostly be this way after the update (we will just ensure you don’t get drops for factions you don’t own). Therefore, how many commanders you may have gotten out of playing the game compared to another player, for instance, is really just the result of sheer luck. On the opposite, the number of items you ended up accumulating overall compared to another player is the direct result of your difference in commitment to playing the game on a regular basis – which is what we want to reward you for.

Match Validation

A new validation system is in place to make sure that only players who play a fair game receive Loot Points after a match. This is – you won’t get loot points if you go AFK or don't significantly contribute to a game. A daily Loot Point Limit (24,000 Loot Points or 12 wins) has been applied to modded games to help minimize War Spoils farming.


UI IMPROVEMENTS

Automatch/Leaderboard Level Up

If you increase your leaderboard level after an automatch game there is now a post game acknowledgement to celebrate!


Map Select Screen

We’ve redone the Map select screen so that maps can be filtered and displayed by game type and ordered alphabetically. This makes it much easier to find the maps your looking for.


Match Select Screen

Match select screen now allows filtering by match type

Don't you have like 20 total games played? Kappa Kappa Idiot Face Kappa Kappa Supreme Kappa coups

Good news. But I can't understand why they improve the leaderboard in such a cosmetic way. Better would have been to allow us to see the rank of opponents at the end of a match like in coh1

Show Spoiler

looks very very VERY solid, thanks relic!
