I freaking love this game. I'm frequently frustrated with relic due to lack of marketing/transparency and lack of new content(western front armies have 6 commanders) and their lack of real communication with the community. I think Cynthia does all she can but it entirely hamstrung by a seemingly draconian NDA. They should be able to say they are working on bug x or new commanders or whatever. There is certainly space between where that are and full disclosure ruining the company.
Imagine if they said they are working on four new commanders. We would all speculate when and what but it wouldn't hurt them. It might actually build some hype. If it turned out one was op just say so. It would anger some but largely build some trust. I think they could discuss far more with us and I think it would ultimately help the playerbase and relic. At the very least it would cut down on negative speculation.
I'm sure they can see why we get so frustrated with them but it seems they do not take any steps to resolve it for immediate issue or future issues, which leads to even more frustration. I want the game to succeed and I want them all to make money. I also want to feel I've gotten my money's worth. The NDA forces Relic to pretty much operate with one foot in the grave. Any news from Relic is music to my ears because it tells me they are still involved. |
Pgrens op LOL, Why the fuck i miss this stream^^
What did He Smoke to think so?
P Grens have been hurting for a while, it shows because not many people use them. |
The stream overall made me a ssaaaaddd panda. |
I would like to see them just stream playing.
Do Q&A separate.
Easily one of the stupidest streams I have ever seen. My head almost exploded when I heard that bulldozer was a "heavy tank".
PG's over performing!?!?! Maybe against low skill opponents in 4v4, but seriously.
Also how did they manage to lose a game as the Axis in 4v4? If they add Sherman Jumbo's we're good to go. |
I dunno man I don't like the silence about what they're working on either.
They need to ask us what specifically needs to be done for this to work out. Their best balancing and bug info comes from the players themselves. |
I'm in the alpha.
I SEE Peter playing the game. I play the game WITH Peter.
This fucking NDA man
Exactly what I have been saying. This NDA kills them! If it wasn't so strict the necessary information could be released and at least there would be more understanding between the developer and playerbase. Important info gets censored because of it and the IMPORTANT info is always left behind. |
Okay seriously, wtf do you people want? They're saying they're going to release a patch in early February consisting of bugfixes. A lot of people have been asking for patches that just exclusively focus on bugfixes, and now that that happens you are still not satisfied?
I for one am not mad about a bug patch coming out (it is really needed). Most people want Relic to lay out the game plan for the next couple months. They can't post stuff on Facebook and say "hey first twitch stream of the year!" at least tell us it is about bug fixes instead of just leaving us there speculating it's other things like balance and new content. First thing that pops into people heads is "Oh cool, some announcements about new content, patches, and even a Q&A," then they just dodged most question about balancing and what can we expect that's new since it's been almost 2 months since AA. |
i think singleplayer ppl and compstomp audience is a bigger portion of the playerbase than the multiplayer peeps.
Yes but with compstomping, they are still using the aspects of multiplayer, commanders, bulletins, vehicle skins. The majority of the player base can't just be playing the campaign. The old content release patern worked so much better. Have commanders and maps be released with ToW, it covers everyone then. |
I feel like they dumped WAY too much time and resources into AA. For a game that thrives of multiplayer there should have been some content for multi released along side it, even something small like a few commanders. Then after AA they pretty much jumped off the radar for over two months, and come back with a stream that says, "Hey we got cool stuff planned, but we can't say anything about it." Be a little more transparent, and they would do so much better. |
Someone asked about "Can't bazookas get a little price reduction (since shrecks are vastly better) to compensate for it's lower damage since it costs the same as a shreck." Answer was "But what does an Axis Player give up in turn for shreck upgrade?" I was like dude, yea pgrens give up 2 stgs and volks give up a rifle for cold immune and a shreck. Rifles would have to give up 2 rifles for the bazookas and Rear echelon with zooks is just a fancy definition for "glass cannon". |
