I think we will see custom commanders, British commander/ abilitys, New maps, and new decals. Balance patch should drop within 2 weeks I think (just guessing) |
While there has been plenty of discussion regarding "relic isnt communication" I belive Inverse has pointed out the major issue with Relic an us:
I'd say it's less about lack of communication and more about lack of action. I mean, Valve doesn't say shit about anything they do, yet Dota 2 is the most popular game on Steam because it's constantly being updated with new and cool shit that the community wants. They patch ridiculously frequently, and pretty much every single patch has one or two changes that originated in community forums.
The truth is, 99% of people don't give a fuck about balance. A new player isn't going to put down the game because it isn't balanced, they're going to put down the game because it's not fun or it's not worth their time relative to other games out there.
I personally think it makes sense from a developer perspective to limit communication with the community, since it rarely helps matters and history has shown that actions speak far louder than words. But when you're both saying nothing and doing nothing, then there's a major problem.
A few interesting reads, a post by a prominent SC2 personality about that game's decline and a very well-written comment relating that post to Dota 2's success:

Relic should push for more frequent updates rather than everyone complaining that relic doesn't tell us whats going on. The more frequent the patches I feel the fast the balance can change and get fixed. Large issues such as the OKW truck pushing took months to fix as well as other issues such as the katusha being OP. Letting the game sit for this long is unacceptable from any standpoint and while I love Relic and its products to death but this is upsetting. Its been 6 months since a sizable balance patch was implemented (1/2 a year) |
After playing MonolithicBacon's new map "Passchendaele" ( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=393764621)
It has reminded me just how cool MudTech really is! While hill 331 overdid it with the mud this map has shown me just how cool and atmospheric you can make maps that are still fun. Mud is an awesome map feature that I wish more maps had (as well as rain)
Let Relic and Bacon know we love mud and different map designs! |
SO wait the forward HQ as well as the opal blitz truck ignore being cut off so even if the territory is cut off it still gives you resources??? |
I find OKW OP is few things:
- Kubel. On some maps in can deny any fuel and hold you even for few minutes. Relic neferd RE volley fire because it is to punishing to retreat at the beggining, yet Relic kept Kubel with such ability
- Truck. Pushing out of the cover, suppress by Kubel, wipe by SP
- Panther. In team games, 12min Panther is something normal. In 1v1 you can get it around 15-18min. OKW lacks of medium armor, but it's compensate by quick Panther so in fact you can't notice any inconvenience because of lack of medium. Panther should arrive around 20. This should come along with raketen buff. But it's not the biggest problem.
- Obers. Double Obers wiping everything. No counter except armor. Lower long range dps to 15-16. Same for 1919.
- Flak Base. It completely denies capping points in 1v1. Put it next to VP/ammo (north spawn) and whole battle will be around south spawn fuel.

The p-47 can be called OP but if you compare it to stuka strafe its trash. It is useful as it has a large area but I wouldnt call it op. |
They should take 3 shots to kill. It is only fair, they take a long time to build and are doctrinal.

I'm not saying all of it would go f2p. Single player content would still cost money, same goes for if you dont want to wait for war spoils and such.
The game already looks like its going to get "war effort" and "supplys" to buy in game items so why does this not sound like a f2p game?
Im not saying it should go f2p but It would help with the competitive scene |
It def needs a pen boost, Decrease its damage but make it so it pens 1/2 not 1/8 times from the front armor. The jackson at vet 1 is trash and is hard to micro as its path finding often makes it turn around.
The panther and P4 can just blitz past all of your forces and kill it without loosing a tank |
Well we saw A Meta map a long time ago, Supplys, War Effort, as well as Custom commander ability packs. I wouldn't be surprised with their free weekends and such that the multiplayer portion of the game could go f2p.
All large competitive games such as Dota 2, League, starcraft, are going f2p. |
