I don't mind the skins and stuff costing money. People put time and effort into those.
Mad props to those with the talent and skill set to do so. |

It was gabe's fault. Edit your "lelic pls" memes.
EOD today? Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease. |
So after doing some testing, I got disconnected during the match, only to be notified right at the end. Anyway, here are some more stats:
- Only USF have fabulous weapons
- Said weapons can be picked up by your squad/s
- Only USF AT gun and Mortars have "Let there be panic" boxes instead of the gun itself
- Lend Lease Sherman (via SU) is also affected
*image removed*
- UKF Mortar not firing
Aside from the above, OKW, SU and WER seem unaffected
Are there any gameplay related bugs? To me these seem just visual glitches. That'd make this a fairly good patch.
The visiual glitches ruin the whole experience for me at least. I am not skilled enough to really care about balance or extra maps if the most basic of all game elements do not function properly. Unfortunately, time to find a new game for some of us probably.
This. The visual glitches make the game look dumb, and trying to quickly find out the unit facing of AT guns and Howies can only be done by selecting the units. It adds to micro when you shouldn't have to be doing that.
UKF churchill have fancy grenades, comet have fancy grenades, all factions flamers are fancy, british mines are fancy, british AT gun is box, OKW schrek projectile is 1 meter on left from actual weapon soldier and is fancy. This I got from 2 games playing as brits. Clearly USA isn´t the only affected one
Yes. British AT guns are boxed, too.

Let there be panic line is best
Ya, it's funny. But not funny when you're trying to micro your units and can't quickly tell what unit is what or it's facing, especially when you have units near each other. |
Got it on my mortar and AT gun.

And this:
Have that around the mortars and AT guns. |
Looks like they missed some files in the update:

I'm not seeing the maps?
Elst Outskirts
Lisores River
Pripyat Sector
Schilberg Outskirts |
Good stuff |
For what it's worth, I agree with everyone who stated that it would be absurd to punish "leavers".
1) I am married, with 3 kids. After everyone goes to bed, I have maybe 1.5 hrs to myself to play 1 or 2 games, before I too have to sleep before getting up to be at work for 0700. I don't have time to fuck around in a game that is clearly lost, with random teammates that refuse to surrender.
2) Likewise, since I usually play Allies, the game is tough enough in 4v4 against Axis, without having to play 2v4 after two guys drop.
3) I also won't play with teammates who appoint themselves "boss", and throw a fit when the team doesn't follow their plan. The constant pinging gets annoying, and in any case, it usually ends with them bombarding my base. Which leads me to...
ABSOLUTELY PUNISH ABUSIVE PLAYERS !- I can put up with imbalances, biased maps, etc...but nothing makes me want to quit the game more than these inbred, small-minded troglodytes. It's kind of halfway understandable if they're losing and start hurling abuse, but it's especially obnoxious when they're winning, and you graciously offer up "hey well played, GG", and they still throw abuse. As someone has mentioned, some of these comments are entirely inappropriate as well. FYI, opposing players like this will also cause me to leave. "Allied" players who engage in teamkilling also deserve a penalty. Overall, the maturity level of the players of this game seems to be higher than other games, but there is no lack of players who have discovered the magic of the Axis "I win" metas, and think it makes them pros. Again, if that's how you wanna play, fine. You don't need to be a dick about it. So...
Disable "all player" in-game chat, leaving it enabled only for team, or...
Develop a system wherein toxic players have shuriken teleported into their small intestines.
There's nothing worse than what I call Sore-winners: total jerks that have to vaunt their egos because they won. It would be nice to disable [ALL] chat. Sometimes, I don't want to see the smak-talk, especially the neurotic per-pubecent teen angst with inane mother insults.
Glad to see I'm not the only one waiting for the family to go to bed before some gaming.
it might have been already said, but cmon everyone complaining about that, just switch to 1 vs 1.
this is seriously the best thing to do, even if it's hard at the beggining, at the end it's better.
1v1s are fun, but when you have a team game, there's a certain "magic" to it when you get an ally that you sync up with and actually do team play. Sure, both are fun to win, but 1v1 it's all focused on you winning, versus making a team win.
