It is really interesting. I've come to the conclusion that most players
do NOT want balance. They want their pet faction buffed and the enemy faction nerfed. Too many games and movies of rambo attest to this.
People play most often to relax, or soothe their inner bunny.
Or their inner Rambo.
- The Wehraboo fanboi who thinks SS are elite and should always win.
- The American Patriot who thinks every war should be instant US win.
- The Soviet fanboi who reacts to nazi fanboism and howls that 83%
of German combat losses were caused by Soviets, and should be reflected
in the game (Also that they didn't do human wave attacks) and that the
Leningrad debacle (1 rifle per 2 man) was not the norm, and simply
hollywoodian insanity.
- Japanese lovers who think Japanese ought to be included in Normandy.
(And be given experimental or imaginary tanks to balance the Japanese)
(Can of worms, then everyone starts requesting same : MAUS, IS-3, Super Pershing, Patton)
- Finnish lovers who think Finns ought to be included in Normandy.
- British who think everyone else is insane.
You - CAN'T - satisfy everybody.
Blizzard came to the conclusion that balance cannot be achieved
because of perception, and playing style, unless you implement mirror
stat ... which honestly, no one wants.
Solution? Game is balanced when everyone complains equally There.
Which is your mod? Give me an idea of what it tries to achieve, and
I'll tell you what I think in a constructive way if I may
I've played WAY MORE games than most people here
I began playing ASL (Squad Leader)(BoardGame) around 1981.
