Did Relic ever call it a balance patch? I'm looking at the changelog and all it says is 'December Update'.
I'm not sure how bugfixes and optimizations don't have any effect on multiplayer though.
Oh and I don't know about you but I'd call the ISU getting a weapon ammo toggle and the Jagdtiger not being able to pierce through objects quite a big change.
I do, but just because I'm defending Relic on a few points doesn't mean I agree with a lot of what they do. You realise we don't have complete influence over the changes that are being made right?
Relic called December patch as balance patch, when you look at changelog all patches are called updates.
Oh and ISU and jagdtiger changes were already applied with AA release (month earlier), in Dec patch they just said what have changed, which was known already (thanks to Dr.Cruzz)
About alpha forums, all i know is that MVRelic listens to MVDanes and all kind of him (fanboiz)
Well unfortunately everyone in the community bitched and whined about micro transactions and DLC and did your best to make Relic look bad for doing so. So guess what we got what community consensus seemed to want .....Relic not putting out new content frequently anymore. This community is so laughable and don't even think about what they post and realize it actually does effect the direction Relic takes in a lot of areas.
And then now here you all are starved for new content and patches but you all are the ones responsible for shutting down Relics ambition to support this game as a service and keep new content coming consistently.
Think about it.....
we affect this game even more so since it is such small community.
Please people you say you want the game to grow. You say you want it to be competitive. But everyone just spews hate and negativity on the forums and bash any direction Relic try to take no matter what it is. If you truly are a fan of this franchise and want to see it be succsessful we need to just stop with all that. Sure give the game constrcuctrive critism where it is due but do it in a manner that is mature and well thought out and also in a way that doesnt promote ill will towards the game and push new players away .
Think about it guys I think the biggest thing holding this game back is the negativity and hostility of the so called fans.
And now we can see the fruit of it all too.. Relic gone from weekly streams, monthly patches and frequent new content to enjoy to... silence and no new content or patches, we all have only ourselves to thank for that really too.
"Regret the day i bought this POS game. Not because of money coming out of my pocket but because it went in for supporting this shitty game and their devs."
A prime example is the ignorant child that just posted above me. Seriously could we get some moderation and just do away this crap in the forums? Lets change the tone?
We paid a lot of money for this game, some of us even had CE and what we get from it? some skins and 90% useless commanders, Relic to keep getting money were releasing new commanders and working on AA (prob when they first released CoH2, they probably haven't cared much on us.
We have god damn good reason to act as we act now and before. Remember times when MG42 was so good that soviets couldn't stand a chance against them? Relic answer was to increase squad models from 3 to 4, or Tiger "working as intended" Ace, how much we had to wait for KV-8 nerf? These were stuff that were piss off people.
I was before WFA release and some NDA leak about patch notes in beta forums and Relic was god damn amazing, I dont even know why we were there since they prefered listen to guys like MVDane or other scrubs about balance, tested commanders never get fixed and release (altho they were nice in design) and others never tested by us were released (OP at first to get ofc a lot of money from people willing to win games easily and then commanders were nerfed)
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?
bugixes patch you say? how many bugs are still in game that are gamebreaking? And im not satisfied, for example, this december so-called balance patch was nothing, fixed some crap in AI AA and brought nothing to multi
Yeah, it wasn't the Chinese guy bringing it everyones attention who deserves any credit (Thank you Hikuran)
It wasn't the admins and clan leaders contacting relic quietly offline to report it discreetly (You know who you are)
No, all the credit goes to people who decided to troll with this, and then scream about how they were persecuted for doing so.
The ammount of correlation = causation and self justifying narcissim on display here is truly impressive
That chinese guy just showed that this bug exist, didn't showed how to do it, Price did it, showed everyone how it's done, people started raging, Relic email was spammed with reports, it's been less than week since Price stream and Relic now announces that bug is fixed? You think all the credits goes to "admins contacting relic"? don't make me laugh pls.
Our only tool to force Relic to fix some god damn gardening bug is to abuse and troll with it (same stuff was with bulletin stacking)
