Thread: Knowing Is Half The Battle - Recon Company Strategy10 Aug 2014, 23:29 PM quick questions: 1.how do you capitalize on forward observer bonus? compared to spotting scope it doesn't give much sight. Also, I find this very inferior compared to riflemen's flare ability from rifle company (Sure it costs munition but its benefit is quite substantial-for instance it ignores line of sight requirement) 2. Why would people build their 3rd unit as RET? I find RET after nerf on volley fire is not much of useful support unit. Sometimes I would swap them with vehicle crews with utility car for the sake of using bazooka actively. In: Guides
Thread: War Spoils - Let's talk.24 Jul 2014, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 10:57 AMMilkaCow It's not about having everything unlocked, but knowing if the system works. Assume that you had everthing unlocked prior to WFA, then you'd have roughly 50 new things to unlock. This would make the chance to unlock something of those really small, so you might play 100 games without unlocking something (and at that point people usually go to the forums and complain it's not working). If you unlocked more, the chances are even smaller. I think I calculated it once that for the last few items you need roughly 500 games each. Duplicates allow people to see the system is working (or well.. would've had it been known earlier that duplicates are fine) and makes it easier to add features for them later on. So kind of curious is the system like this? Assume that only possible drops are bulletin A,B,C,D, and E 50% you get nothing 10% you get bulletin A 10% you get bulletin B 10% you get bulletin C 10% you get bulletin D 10% you get bulletin E so if you have bulletin A,B,C,D chance of you are going to receive another drop is 10% if duplicate system does not exist. However, if you have duplicate system then chance of receiving drop will be 50%. Is this your explanation of our current system? I thought it was more like you have x% chance of winning drop and each drop has chance of being bulletin, commander, skins, faceplates, and the likelyhood of epic and rare is lower than uncommon and common. so it will be more like chance of winning a drop=>chance of getting what kind of drops (are you gonna get winter skin, are you gonna get joint operation commander, etc) so in this case not allowing duplicate will not lower your chance of getting drops. I want to know what kind of system we are in. In: Lobby
Thread: War Spoils - Let's talk.24 Jul 2014, 09:50 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2014, 16:19 PMNoun Duplicates currently serve the purpose of letting people know they have a drop. We have a limited amount of content and if you didn't get duplicates you may go days, weeks or more without actually getting a War Spoils drop. That would be even more frustrating than the duplicate situation, since you wouldn't know if you were doing the right things or not. As we add more content into the system there will be less duplicates. And as we said we're working to develop the system so that duplicates are useful and have value. You mention the Alpha and I think that's a good point, especially when we're talking duplicates. Originally War Spoils many items were going to be timed items, so you'd get a Commander that would last say 3 days. The intention was that with duplicates you'd be able to recharge your items. So if you had a Commander with 5 hours left you'd use that duplicate faceplate to add an extra 12 hours. The feedback in the Alpha was strongly against timed items for War Spoils, and we responded which left us in the current situation where there are duplicates but they (currently) do not have a point. As we improve the system they will again, and it'll be a better point than just recharging items. We'll let you know closer to that point. You were given that content. We granted all our existing users as of June 23 every piece of legacy progression system content as a goodwill measure. Yes. You were given that content. It may be possible for some people, it may not be possible for others. However it shouldn't be possible to do it in a month. No. You play the game (except campaign) and when you've played for X amount of time you get randomized content. What army you're playing increases the chance of that army's content dropping. This is meant for rewarding players for the behavior they exhibited before the War Spoils system was introduced, playing the game. If people want to spend their time trying to get around that, then that's up to them. It's much more fun to play the game, but hey, whatever. You never know. Now this is really odd. What does Noun mean by "doing the right things or not" ? CoH2's blog already told us in earlier post that Warspoil was based on time spent on matches regardless of win or lose. (and match type is irrelevant even custom game works. The only exception is campaign and ToW) So the only right course of action is actually playing the game. So what Noun has said in the above statement makes no sense. If there was no duplicate. And we reach the point where we got everything. We will recognize that we unlocked everything. We will not be frustrated since I believe good majority of us are not that silly to notice it. And how would we know? Well Relic can give us list of all the bulletins, skins, face plates, and commanders. Or if Relic don't want to bother, I am pretty sure many dedicated fans would have actually unlocked everything with certainty (Play 100+ hour after your last drop and not get a single drop that might be a good sign of that you unlocked everything) and then they will give the list of what they have unlocked so other players can know it. Or even better you can send some kind of message when player unlocks all the drops. ex. Congratulation! You unlock everything we could offer. Now, how about enjoying the beautiful sunlight outside of your window? So I am just wondering why would people be frustrated at not having duplicate? Could Noun please respond to my question?
